10 Cool Gifts for Mothers

March 11, 2015 //  by Uju//  8 Comments

 
Mothers Day Gift Guide
 
Mother’s Day is every day when you’re a mum. However, with Mothering Sunday looming, there’s no better excuse to spoil your favourite mama.

Flowers, cards and chocolates always work, but if you’re after something a bit more hip or quirky, take a look at my 10 Cool Gifts for Mothers, all under £100. I’ll share ideas for Mother’s Day fun in London in tomorrow’s Weekend Scoop!

 
Lisa Angel original_personalised-bar-necklace

A modern twist on the ‘mummy chain’ or heart locket. The stylish bar necklace can be personalised on four sides, express delivery will get it to her in time for Mother’s Day.

2. Hand Stamped Eating for Two Dessert Spoon £12 via Dorothy & Theodore
Sweet little gift for any mum-to-be, or pudding freaks!

Treat her to brekkie in bed that includes flower, whisky marmalade, tea, coffee and champers. Just try not to burn the toast.

 
Louche Suellen bag Joy

Pony hair texture in teal and tan with leather trims. Got my eye on this bad girl!

 
Follow Me FlipSidez flip flops

Write a message in the sand. These won’t get here for Mother’s Day, but they’ll arrive in time for summer strolling!

    All gorgeous gifts – how am I supposed to choose just one for my mum? I love the idea of the Home Aromatherapy Massage and may drop some not-so subtle hints to my daughters.

    I can personally recommend the home massage, it’s just such a relief in the comfort of your own space — although maybe save until after the renovations Nomita?? Brownies by mail are always welcome though, glad you like the picks! x

    Hi Izzie, I gave up on being subtle and simply emailed the link to my other half haha! Watch him now forget Mother’s Day completely lol ;-) Hope the guide helps you get something you truly deserve. Happy Mother’s Day in advance!
