This time last year there was no mixing indoors and, for many of us, Mother’s Day gifting was confined to ordering items that had to be delivered, or fit through a letterbox. So there’s a great joy in buying a Mother’s Day gift you can hand deliver, watching her open it and giving her a proper hug. Trying to buy a present that says “you are the most important mother figure in my life” can feel like an impossible task, though. Tulips? Beautiful, but can be bought any other Sunday. Delicious-smelling candle? Sure, but does it fully express just how much she means to you? Well, the gorgeous Diptyque Roses one in our gift guide is a start — along with the rest of the suggestions below that are as unique as your mother is.
If you do want to get her flowers, try the beautiful bouquets from Bloom & Wild or a Flowerbx terracotta pot filled with blooming hyacinth bulbs. We’ve also listed great gifts such as a stylish metal toolbox for the DIY-loving mum and luxe beauty items for some self-care, as well as silk nighties and eye masks for the one who wants to stay in bed and be brought breakfast by their nearest and dearest on Mothering Sunday.
