18 Great Gift ideas for Mother’s Day

With Mother’s Day right around the corner, it may be a good idea to start thinking about what you can do. You have two options available to you; you can make Mum a gift, or you can buy Mum a gift.

Here are some gift ideas for Mother’s Day:

1. Spoil Mum by taking her out for dinner: Make sure you book a table in advance, as Mother’s Day is very busy in most restaurants.

2. Send Mum flowers: there are plenty of ways in which you can do this, buy a bunch from a florist, a pot of her favourite flowers from a shop, or pick some wildflowers from a field.

3. Create a photo book for Mum: you can either use one of the online photography retailers, like Snapfish, to create this, or if you feel a little creative get a collection of great photos and place them in a photo album.

4. Make Mum breakfast in bed: take all of her favourite breakfast items up to her on a tray in the morning, along with a cup of tea of coffee.

5. Give Mum the day off: she can spend her free day doing whatever she likes, whilst you get to take on the house for her.

6. Spend the night in with Mum: order her favourite takeaway food, and maybe put on her favourite film.

7. Take Mum shopping: spend some quality time with mum, take a walk around the shops and take her out for lunch.

8. Get Mum to the jeweller: she may have been eyeing up some Mother’s Day jewellery before today, so take her there to buy whatever she likes.

9. Buy Mum a gift certificate: there are plenty of places, from spas to salons and everything in between, which you can buy a gift certificate for.

10. Create Mum a mug with the family on: take a look around high street stores and on the website to create the mug, and then maybe use it when making her a hot drink on Mother’s Day.

11. Buy Mum a picture frame: it may not sound much on its own, but place a treasured picture in there and it is a much loved gift.

12. Bake Mum her favourite cake: if Mum has a sweet tooth then spend some time in baking her favourite cake.

13. Book Mum in at the salon: this is something that you can do together or separately.

14. Get Mum a subscription: find out what magazines Mum likes to read and buy a yearly subscription to it.

15. Book the family in at a photo shoot: a great surprise on Mother’s Day could be to take Mum and the family to get a photo shoot done together, creating lasting memories.

16. Create Mum a recipe book: there may be recipes that have passed down generations that would look great all bound together in a book.

17. Paint Mum a picture: this is great for the kids to get stuck into, and if you have more than one get them working on it together.

18. Add to Mum’s Crockery Collection: if she collects China or has some pieces from a certain design or brand, you could add to it!

Whatever you decide to get Mum this year for Mother’s Day, it will be thought that is appreciated the most, rather than the cost.
