Mother’s Day gift guide

Mother’s Day is the perfect time to show your mum or mother-figure in your life that you care with thoughtful gifts that are picked out by you, just for her.

We’ve curated a selection of houseplants, gardening, and spa products that are a beautiful way to show your mum how much she means to you and the family.

Mother’s Day houseplants

Houseplants make a thoughtful and long-lasting alternative to traditional bouquets, breathing life and colour into homes well beyond the day itself. We’ve curated a special range that combine visual impact with easy care, making them a perfect gift for Mother’s Day.

The Flamingo Flower (Zizou Anthurium) provides long-lasting colour with vibrant, heart-shaped spathes, making it a beautiful gift for your mum. The Zizou Anthurium thrives in bright, indirect light, and will benefit from regular watering and misting. When not in bloom, their large leaves will add interest to a shelf or windowsill and provide brightness and joy to any room!

The Dobbies Pia Rose is also on our gifting list this Mother’s Day. It’s a timeless plant that brings a touch of elegance indoors, with its lush green foliage and vibrant blooms. The Pia Rose features striking beautiful pink petals and is happy in bright, indirect sunlight. Ensure that soil is kept moist to the touch but isn’t waterlogged.

Houseplants can make homes feel brighter, and many even come with added health benefits like air purification, reduced stress, and in some cases, lower blood pressure. Having them in your space can be calming, and tending to them is very rewarding.

Whichever houseplant you choose to get your mum, you’re not just presenting her with a plant, you’re giving her something that, with a little TLC, will last beyond Mother’s Day.

Your mum doesn’t have to have a green thumb to enjoy them, but houseplants can be a way to introduce her to a new hobby (or add to a growing houseplant collection!).

Gardening gifts for mum

For mums who love gardening, we have a great range of gifts that are both beautiful, and practical. Encourage your mum to enjoy a moment of calm whilst tending to her plants – the RHS Asteraceae range is the perfect choice for a mum whose gardening gear could use an upgrade or refresh.

If mum’s toolkit needs an update, the pruner and holster gift set is perfect for her – whether she’s an avid gardener or just beginning her horticultural journey, your mother will appreciate these high-quality pruners that’ll make deadheading flowers easy.

Plus, you can give your mum’s gardening attire a stylish upgrade with a new pair of matching gloves! They’re soft to wear but tough and hardwearing and can even be popped in the washing machine after she’s done using them to keep them looking as fresh as her outdoor space all year long.

Make it a full set and include a set of herb pots, made from galvanised steel. Ideal for growing in the kitchen whilst we wait for the colder weather to pass, your mum can cultivate her own herb garden and enjoy tasty flavours in her home cooking.

We of course have so many gardening gifts to choose from: a stylish watering can, for example, will keep her plants hydrated and look fantastic on display, books on gardening will help provide inspiration for her next outdoor project, and you can also bulk out your gift with seeds for her favourite plants.

Gifts for foodie mums

Whether your mum is the queen of the kitchen or just loves trying new flavours, our food gifts for Mother’s Day offer something for every taste. Form indulgent boxes of chocolates to pre-made hampers, there are a range of treats to satisfy any tastebud.

One of our top picks for this month is the Cottage Delight Just for You Gift Set, which includes a charming selection of delicious preserves and sweet treats presented in a display gift box. It’s a ready-made hamper that feels special without having to pick the elements yourself – and perfect for mums who enjoy classic flavours and a cosy afternoon tea at home.

For mums who like to indulge in a little bit of chocolate, we also have a range of Thornton’s gifts that are perfect for adding a touch of sweetness to her day. You can also add some Lindt Lindor chocolates, with their irresistibly smooth, melting centres. Chocolates make a simple but luxurious gift that any mum will appreciate. 

Pampering gifts for Mother’s Day

Help your mum take some well-deserved time for herself with a relaxing day of self-care. Whether she’s always on the go or just needs a little encouragement to find time in her day to slow down, our range of bubble baths, hand creams, spa products will help her restore and relax.

If your mum can be found mostly in the garden, then why not treat her to the William Morris Post Gardening Care Tin? Complete with bath treats and a nourishing body cream, it’s a wonderful way for your mum to decompress after spending an afternoon planting flowers, pulling weeds, or tending her fruit and vegetable patch.

No relaxing bath time is complete without a soothing, peony-scented bath soak. Our Wright’s Apothecary Peony Scented Bubble Bath is perfect for warming up, easing tired muscles, and enjoying a peaceful sense of calm. Every mum needs a bubble bath to help unwind and feel appreciated!

Of course, you can also include aromatics and reed diffusers to make your gift truly special, offering a hamper or gift bag filled with treats to help her feel truly pampered. Add candles, room spray, and a set of inspirational cards for a thoughtful touch.
