It felt like the last couple of Mother’s Day were a bit of a washout with lockdowns and not being able to have family gatherings. I can’t wait for Mother’s Day this year. Not only do I get to spend the day with my own husband and kids, I can’t wait to see my own lovely mum.
When it comes to buying gifts for Mother’s Day there’s so much choice out there. My mum isn’t a ‘flowers and chocolate’ kind of woman, so I always have to try to be a bit more inventive. I’ve teamed up with some great brands this year to help give a bit of inspiration for those not sure what to get their mums.
Tasty Treat
Rather than opting for sweet food treats, why not treat your mum to the perfect drink? Fentimans are the home of botanical brewing and their tonic water and mixers are crafted to ensure each flavour is the perfect partner for your spirit. If you’re looking for inspiration they have a full range of cocktail recipes for alcoholic or non-alcoholic cocktails. Their drinks don’t have to be used as a mixer though. Their Rose Lemonade is beautiful just on its own and the Mandarin and Seville Orange Jigger is really refreshing.

Personalised Handbag
A handbag is a perfect Mother’s Day treat especially if it’s a personalised one. Boutique Gifts specialise in handmade personalised gifts for all the family and there really is something for everyone. They have a gorgeous range of home furnishings, jewellery and stationery but it’s their leather goods I particularly love. They have a lovely range of handbags, purses and beauty bags to choose from in various colours and designs. I love their Crossbody Leather Bag. It’s available in different colours and is perfect for a busy mum who needs her hands free. The initials on the front add that personalised touch. It’s really reasonably priced too at just £24.99.

Skincare Treat
A fantastic skincare idea is the Magnitone’s DermaQueen. Using Magnitone’s innovative Vibra-Sonic technology, the DermaQueen is a handy compact device that gently de-fluffs, removes dead skin cells and fine hairs. This leaves the skin looking smoother and brighter, while skincare is absorbed better. A smoother base also means makeup foundation will have a finer finish without the dreaded patchy appearance. DermaQueen is suitable for all skin types and comes complete with a bathroom caddy stand, 5 replacement professional-grade stainless-steel blades and rechargeable batteries that last up to 2 months.

Home Fragrance
Candles and diffusers are always a really popular choice for Mother’s Day. ARRAN Sense of Scotland have some gorgeous gift sets perfect for Mother’s Day. Their After The Rain range honestly smells divine. It’s one of my favourite scents. The range includes a diffuser and candle to make your home smell heavenly and the giftset is beautifully presented. However, it’s not just home fragrance ARRAN specialise in. They have a fantastic range of fragrances and body and hand care that smell equally lovely. The hand cream feels really luxurious and a real treat to use.

Get Your Skates On
For the more adventurous and sporty mums amongst us, why not consider a pair of skates. Not only are they are a great way to get around, but it’s also a great workout and so much fun. Skates.co.uk have so many to choose from and I love the retro-vintage feel of these Rookie Roller Skates. They’re so timeless and I love the pastel colours. They also have a huge range of accessories and protection including helmets, so you can be fully kitted out.
New Coat
A new coat is a great treat for any mum and with Spring upon us, hopefully it’s time to pack away the big winter coats and choose something a bit lighter. TOG24 have some lovely jackets that not only look bright and stylish, they also help protect against anything British spring and summer weather can throw at us. I particularly love the Stutton Waterproof Women’s Jacket in a gorgeous vibrant golden yellow. It comes in a fabric that looks and feels like cotton yet it has all the top technical features to keep you warm and dry when the weather turns.
TOG24 have so many other styles of jackets to choose from in a variety of colours. To see the full range check out the TOG24 website.
Hopefully you’ve been inspired by our selection of gifts for Mother’s Day. We honestly think there’s something for every taste!
A selection of these products were offered to us on a complimentary basis but as always all opinions are my own.
