It’s fourteen days until Mother’s Day so you don’t have long to get yourself organised, whether you’re buying for your mum or a mum figure in your life. It’s important to put thought into your chosen gift because let’s be honest mum’s play a critical role in any family. Mum’s support our dreams and are the emotional backbones of the family. I thought I would give you some present ideas for Mother’s Day to make your job easier.

In 2020 retail spending on Mother’s Day was 1.23 billion pounds so it’s a serious business. But what do you give your mum to make her happy? I have written a few Mother’s Day gift guides in the past and you might want to return and read those or feel free to be inspired by the present ideas below.

Hamper Of Her Favourite Things

You could make up a hamper of your mum’s favourite things. It can be such a personal gift then. Mum’s have a habit of prioritising the needs of the family and rarely spoiling themselves, so now is your chance to do that. You could give the hamper a theme like a day at the spa or mum’s pamper night in to make a real fuss of them. If you’re struggling to come up with the hamper contents yourself, you can buy the Virginia Hayward Mother’s Day hamper from Very for £27.99 and it is jam packed with lovely contents.

A Watch

A watch is a gift that can be treasured for many years. Olivia Burton have some beautiful watches on the Very site. I really love the Olivia Burton Stars Stainless Steel Watch (£99) which is understandably one of their bestsellers. It’s very stylish and really sparkles. Additionally seeing it on your wrist will be a constant reminder of how much you are loved by your family.

Flowers

Flowers are considered a popular gift for Mother’s Day because they were traditionally picked by children on the way to church and given to mum’s. However present ideas that I prefer in this theme are bulbs or plants that come back each year. A bouquet of flowers doesn’t last long (12 days at most) whereas mum’s can enjoy a plant or perennials (flowers that come back each year) for so much longer.

An Experience

Gifting an experience gives your mum a chance to try something different. It can be very meaningful and memorable! Who knows it might even encourage your mum to take up a new interest? So have a look at what is available. Very sell Virgin Experience Days for £54.99 which gives a selection of 90 different experiences to pick from. Your mum might decide on a vineyard tour, a stargazing experience or perhaps an afternoon tea for two! If your especially lucky she might even let you tag along.

Offer of Help

If you don’t have much money to spend you can still be thoughtful by writing notes with offers of help. Handwritten coupons mum’s can redeem to give them a hand with the washing, ironing and cooking for example. Basically, anything to lighten their load will help them feel appreciated. You could even make her breakfast in bed so she can rest a little longer. Although if you do have some money to spend the Virgina Hayward Breakfast Tray available to buy from Very for £39.99 is fabulous and very indulgent, with smoked salmon, Prosecco, orange juice, tea bags, croissants and jam included.

Sentimental Gifts

Mum’s love sentimentality, so why not write them a note explaining how much they mean to you and all the amazing memories you have together over the years. Younger children can draw a picture. If you are more musical perhaps you could even write a song!

Hopefully after reading these presents ideas for Mother’s Day, you will feel less uncertain about what to buy.
