We all know that mums are special every day of the year, but Mother’s Day is when we take the time to celebrate them and all they have done and continue to do. Finding that one perfect gift can be a challenge, but we’ve picked out a few Mother’s Day gifts that we know mums will love on the day and beyond.
Blooming Artificial Cottage Garden Arrangement
£36
Giving Mum a bunch of flowers as Mother’s Day gifts is the go-to for many of us. The only drawback is that they can fade and droop much too quickly. Blooming Artificial hand-tied bouquets look just as beautiful as a fresh bouquet but will last a lifetime.
From colourful seasonal bunches to fabulous winter foliage, Blooming Artificial bouquets are difficult to distinguish from natural blooms and are guaranteed to put a smile on Mum’s face long after Mothering Sunday. Each stem is impressively realistic, with every detail and colour modelled on the real thing.
This is a lovely gift for Mother’s Day or any other day, which will bring all the joy with none of the pollen and won’t break the bank.
Ben Lomond Gin and Botanical Candle Gift Set
£40
Mother’s Day is the perfect time to encourage Mum to relax and enjoy her favourite tipple. If that tipple is a classic G&T, the collaboration between Ben Lomond Gin and NOORD Candles is a stunning choice.
The limited edition bundle pairs a 70cl bottle of award-winning Scottish gin with a NOORD candle. Ben Lomond gin is distilled as a classic London Dry gin, with 11 different botanicals, including Scottish blackberries and rowanberries foraged in and around Loch Lomond and The Trossachs. The result is a delightfully flavoursome spirit bursting with citrus, spices and hints of juniper. A touch of fruit and berries comes through on the palate, bringing a little sweetness to the finish.
The handmade soy wax candle has a minimalistic Scandinavian style and a fresh, juniper and pine-laden scent that will bring a sense of calm to Mum’s day. The fragrance is designed to mirror the flavours of the gin, with fruit notes rounding out the full-bodied fragrance.
Let Mum know just how special she is by adding an engraved personal message to the bottle at no extra cost.
Unwritten Forget Me Knot Candle
From £13
Candles always make great Mother’s Day gifts. If they look good and smell good, they are bound to be a hit. The Forget Me Knot candle from Unwritten ticks all the boxes. It is available in three sizes and a range of different scents, including fresh linen, sage and sea salt, and sandalwood and vanilla, which is our favourite.
These handcrafted candles are made from biodegradable, vegan-friendly natural wax and contain no genetically modified ingredients. Whether Mum chooses to display them — each design is a fabulous little sculpture — and just enjoy the scent or light them to create a relaxing ambience, she’ll undoubtedly adore them.
8+ Minute Pro-xylane Cell Energizing Mask
Pack of 5 masks: £9
Giving Mum the tools to take a few minutes to relax and rejuvenate this Mother’s Day is undoubtedly a gift she’ll love. As women’s skin ages, it needs a little more help to stay refreshed and moisturised, and most Mums won’t head off to the salon for a facial all that often, but with 8+ Minute Pro-xylane Energizing Masks, you can bring the skin care to her.
Make her a cup of tea, pour her a glass of wine, and crack out the relaxing face masks. Mum can sit and take a well-earned break for 15 minutes or so, and the result will be a radiant complexion and a good haul of brownie points for you – as long as you keep the refreshments coming…
Embroidered Scarf from White Stuff
£29
There’s no getting away from it — mums love a scarf! This gorgeous embroidered number from White Stuff is the perfect addition to any well-dressed mother’s wardrobe. Made from organic cotton and linen, it will beautifully compliment her spring outfit this Mother’s Day.
The neutral cream scarf is embellished with embroidered flowers at each end, adding just a dash of colour. It’s a great size, too, so it can be worn as a wrap to cover the shoulders on a cool summer evening or as a scarf to keep out the chill during the winter months.
Pair the scarf with a flowing maxi dress and perhaps some White Stuff jewellery and she’ll look and feel stunning.
The Clean Beauty Club
Starter bundle: £55
To us, mums look beautiful, no matter what, but sometimes they need a little pampering to feel it for themselves. This Mother’s Day is the perfect opportunity to introduce her to a skincare range that will make her feel fabulous every day.
The Clean Beauty Club is a brand dedicated to using 100% natural ingredients in all its products. The aim of the founders, Emma and Aminah, is to bring a little joy with products that make people look and feel great.
