With Mother’s Day fast approaching, Sunday 6th March in the UK, I thought I would share with you a few ideas of some gifts that your mother will love.
I don’t know if everyone has this problem, but my mother always insists she doesn’t want a gift so I can never just ask her outright what she wants.
I have been having a look around for some inspiration on what to get her this year, and I thought I would share some of my favourite finds, and help make life easier for anyone struggling for gift ideas.
The ideas range from the basics to the luxurious to the obvious choices, and I believe there’s something there to suit most budgets.
Our mother’s gave us the gift of life, something we can never repay, but it’s nice to have a day where we show our gratitude for everything our mothers have done for us.
Mother’s Day Gift Ideas
Please note: All prices correct at the time of putting this post together, all product images courtesy of the mentioned website.
Mother’s Day Gift Idea 1: Slippers
These pretty slippers are available here. They come in a choice of two colours and are priced at £12.50 from M&S.
Mother’s Day Gift Idea 2: Silk Scarf
This particular scarf, available here, is £12 from Accessorize. There are loads to choose from, this one was just my personal favourite.
Mother’s Day Gift Idea 3: Chocolates
Chocolate never comes in wrong, and with this fab offer from Thorntons, you can get their Loads of Chocolate Hamper for just £30, down from £50.
Mother’s Day Gift Ideas 4: Flowers
Another classic. I love this particular bouquet because I think the basket really makes it unique and the flowers are all really pretty colours. Have a look here for this one, and to browse loads of other options from Interflora.
Mother’s Day Gift Ideas 5: PJs/nightie
My mother loves pjs and you can never have too many. I love these tatty teddy ones, a bargain at only £12 for the set, from George at Asda. Have a look here for these and loads more.
Mother’s Day Gift Ideas 6: Spa Day
Our mothers are always so busy looking after everyone else, it would be really nice to give them a day where they are pampered. This spa day is such a good deal. It’s for 2 people who each receive 2 treatments and champagne and strawberries. Have a look here for full details. It’s £150 but currently half price, £75.
Mother’s Day Gift Ideas 7: Magazine Subscription
How about a magazine subscription to their favourite one, then they receive something they love throughout the year. This one here is for Hello magazine, and is £70 for a 12 month subscription (51 issues). If Hello isn’t your mother’s thing, there are loads of other options.
Mother’s Day Gift Idea 8: Jewellery
I think jewellery is very much down to personal taste, but I would imagine most of us know our mothers well enough to choose something they would love. I know my mother would adore these 9ct white gold blue topaz figure of 8 earrings.
Mother’s Day Gift Idea 9: Perfume
I think most people like to smell good, and perfume is such a nice gift to receive. Boots have some fab fragrances at reasonable prices. I love this YSL Black Opium, priced £44 for 30ml.
Mother’s Day Gift Idea 10: Vouchers
If you are still stuck for a gift idea, vouchers are a good way to go to ensure she gets whatever it is she really wants. I like Love2Shop vouchers as so many places take them and you aren’t limited to one store. Available from highstreetvouchers.com.
What are you getting your mother for Mother’s Day? Let me know in the comments 🙂

These are great ideas!! Mother’s Day in Peru is not until May so thanks God I don’t need to worry about it just yet. But if I would have to choose what I would like I would say that I always like flowers, chocolates and a card. I love the presents that my girls do at school/nursery. They are always very cute. Another thing is a perfume (I love perfumes and if I can add one more the list even better! lol). The spa day is always lovely. The voucher idea is very handy too. Let’s see what I get this year! lol Thanks for hosting, 🙂 xx #anythinggoes
Thank you 🙂 Oh you’ve got a while to plan then. I think homemade gifts are lovely when you have little ones, they are so cute 🙂 I hope you love whatever you do get. Thanks for linking up x
I had no idea that the UK celebrates Mother’s Day in March. I kept seeing all of these posts about Mother’s Day and I thought, “It’s too early for Mother’s Day. Maybe everyone is just getting a head start?” We don’t celebrate Mother’s Day here in the States until May. I got all sorts of confused, LOL! This is a great list Debbie! #anythinggoes
Funnily enough, last year I kept seeing Mother’s Day posts later in the year and wondering why they were getting so many shares etc when Mother’s Day was over. It took me a while to figure out it’s later in the States lol! Thank you 🙂
Yeah we don’t celebrate it here until May but now I wonder why the two countries celebrate it at different times. Maybe because mothers are just so awesome we get two times a year to celebrate, LOL! I’m coming back around again from #manicmonday Thanks so much for linking up with me last week:)
It’s strange isn’t it, I like your reason as to why 🙂 Thanks for hosting
These are solid recommendations. My mum ‘loves a good murder’ so an odd crime book for her library is always a good choice!
#AnythingGoes
Great idea, especially if you can find something you know she will love 🙂
Oh my gosh I’d love any of these gifts. Could you put a word in with my husband please? lol The spa in particular would be lovely. I haven’t had a spa day in years now! #AnythingGoes
You’ll have to casually leave the spa day screen on your computer when your hubby is around while you go get a drink or something lol 😉
Lovely ideas! I think I’m going to go with flowers this year x #anythinggoes
Thank you 🙂 I’m still undecided, I need to hurry up and choose! x
I like the idea of a magazine subscription. The best gifts are usually something that a person might not want to spend the money on for themselves, but would enjoy.
Yes, I always love the presents I get like that.
I like the voucher idea and thanks for the reminder, Mother’s Day is different in holland so I need to think carefully so I don’t miss my mum out x
It must be quite confusing it having a different date for your mum and your partners mum! x
Ohh there are some great ideas here. My mum’s on a diet, I usually buy her chocolates but I don’t think she’d appreciate them this year. A spa day sounds like an amazing idea though xx #anythinggoes
Thank you 🙂 Probably not a good idea to get her chocolate if she’s on a diet x
Some great ideas for gifts here. I want the spa day. Don’t see that happening but might get some flowers and chocolates! #anythinggoes
Thank you 🙂 You never know!
Wow, great post! I particularly like the idea of a Magazine Subscription because my Mum is so difficult to buy for. She’s always on a diet so never wants chocolate, she doesn’t really drink in the house, so never wants wine, and to top it off she has so many clothes, bottles of perfume, jewellery etc… and I think she would find flowers a hassle as she is always busy and wouldn’t have the time to look after them. She has a kindle so it gave me an idea – maybe a magazine subscription for her kindle.
Great post, Debbie!

Thank you 🙂 A Kindle subscription is a great idea for someone who’s always busy! Thanks for linking up
My mum is so awkward to buy gifts for. She’s not into jewellery or spa days, would never go for a mani/pedi. Doesn’t eat chocolate! (Sorry, should have warned you to sit down being telling you that.) And she never wears accessories. Grrrr! Flowers it is… Again! #anythinggoes
That sounds like hard work, I’m so glad she likes flowers! And yes, I should have had a warning there lol 🙂
Great choices! My mum is notoriously hard to buy for as she’ll always tell us we don’t have to get anything! Usually we bring her out for a meal and a special framed photograph of the grandkids or something like that! Thanks for hosting #anythinggoes
My mum is exactly the same! I know they mean well, but it makes it so much harder for us. The photo of the grandkids is a lovely idea 🙂 Thanks for linking up.
Some nice ideas here. I’ll leave this lying open on my ipad in the hope someone gets the hint!
Thank you 🙂 Definitely worth a try!
Great post, and I would like all of those things! Ha! I’m going to point my husband in the direction of this blog, no excuses this year!! My mum always tells me not to waste my money on presents for her (even though it’s hardly a waste!) and tells me each year all she wants is a bunch of daffodils, bless her! #anythinggoes
Thank you 🙂 Good idea, he can’t say he didn’t know what to get then lol. Mum’s are such hard work, they will never tell you what they want!
Good suggestions.Loving the idea of a hamper full of chocolate! & Love2Shop vouchers are brilliant. #AnythingGoes
Thank you 🙂 How fab would a chocolate hamper be!
Every year I go for flowers, but I love the spa day!! Maybe she would take me with her 🙂 thanks for the ideas #anythinggoes
That would be a nice little bonus if she did 🙂
These are all great ideas. I particularly love the spa one. Mothers Day in the US isn’t until May so I will have to start hinting to my hubby now lol. Thanks for linking up with #momsterslink!
Thank you 🙂 That’s good, you’ve got a while for him to pick up on it lol! Thanks for hosting
