Mother’s Day is on Sunday and if you’re still struggling for what to buy this year then I’ve got you covered. There’s a nice mix of things here so there truly is something for everyone.
1. Treats for eating and drinking
Who doesn’t love a good sweet treat? Giving your mum something to indulge in on Mother’s Day is one way to show you care. If she’s a vegan, you might usually struggle to get her something sweet that she’ll enjoy but have you thought of vegan chocolate? You could also make her a vegan Sunday dinner as an extra way to gain some brownie points!
Gin has been growing in popularity over the past few years, so your mum is guaranteed to love a luxury bottle for herself. You could treat her to a new pair of gin glasses to complete the perfect gift!
2. Useful accessories
Useful accessories combine style with practicality. Birdcage umbrellas are perfect for the UK’s unpredictable weather. The shape of the brolly gives extra protection from the rain and a transparent dome canopy is great for being able to see what’s ahead. Pick one in her favourite pattern or colour to put a smile on her face.
If she’s always checking in with her friends online, why not get her a personalised phone case? Create a unique design that matches your mum’s personality and fashion and surprise her on the special day. Or, you could get a phone case with your favourite photo printed on so that she can see a picture of you two every time she brings out her phone!
My mum and I are both quite similar and love a good notebook. This flamingo one by Quick Witted Coconut* is gorgeous and gives me all sorts of Alice in Wonderland vibes – even if I do think it needs hedgehogs on it too. It’s the perfect size for popping into a handbag and jotting down notes on the go.
3. Keepsakes and jewellery
Whilst chocolates and flowers are a winning combination for most mums, it’s nice to give her something she can keep. If you know the type of jewellery she already wears, you can probably take a good guess on the sort of pieces to buy — keep the receipt just in case!
The pieces by Newbridge Silverware are gorgeous and so pretty that I don’t want to give them away. The bangle* (£25) is of a smaller size and doesn’t fall off my wrist like most do (I have small wrists). It’s rose gold plated with a pink band half way round it and I love it. I’m a sucker for anything rose gold (yes I’m a blogger stereotype) and I can already see myself wearing it – mum isn’t getting this one from me!
The multi-coloured stones necklace* (£43) is exquisite and I’m already mentally preparing outfits that I can wear it with. I’m feeling a black jumper of T-shirt so that the necklace stands out. The necklace comes in the box and even has a slider at the back to get the perfect fit for mum. There’s also a matching bracelet available if you like to give matching pieces as gifts.
While on the site I found lots of pieces that I would love to receive and there may be a few appearing in my gift wish list for my birthday this year. What’s even better is Newbridge Silverware offer free shipping within the UK and Ireland which is always a plus point when buying gifts.
Angelic Diamonds have a stunning collection of drop earrings and bespoke diamond rings, which are sure to put a smile on your mother’s face for the occasion. Take it to the next level with their bespoke service, bringing your ideas to life with their expertise and 3D technology.
4. Home gifts
Thoughtful gifts for the home are a great idea to bring some cheer into your mum this Mother’s Day. Have you thought about a digital photo frame? Upload your favourite photos to an SD memory card or USB stick and let your mum sit back and enjoy the slide show. This is also a perfect gift for grandmas who would love to see lots of pictures of their family!
Most mum’s love to have their home smelling lovely, so consider a luxury candle. Jo Malone has an extensive range of fancy for-the-home candles with unique smells that you won’t find anywhere else.
5. Girly getaways
The best gift of all is often simply spending some quality time with your mum, so why not treat yours to a girly getaway?
If she’s a nature lover, why not take her to one of the most stunning counties in the UK? Visit Breamish Valley where you can stay in one of the Northumberland cottages with a hot tub. Relax with a glass of bubbly and explore local villages and countryside walks. Or, if walking isn’t her thing, why not spend some time together at a spa? Book in for an afternoon tea for two where you can have a good catch up and do some relaxing.
