Mother’s Day Gift Ideas

(Features press samples and affiliate links)

March sure did sneak up on us all of a sudden! With March comes Mother’s Day so it’s time to turn our thoughts to treating the special ladies in our lives. I can only speak for myself, but I’d put good money on it that many will agree. As a daughter, my mother is my best friend, and mother all in one, one day dedicated to her hardly seems sufficient.

I personally love shopping for Mother’s Day gifts. I like to keep myself organised well ahead of time, now that I have my gifts all wrapped up and ready for March 31st, I wanted to share a guide to help anyone still looking for the perfect gift.

Below are a selection of gifts I know my Mum would love, and myself for that matter. I hope my suggestions can offer some inspiration and help you prepare for Mother’s Day.

Spa Day

A spa day makes a great gift because it also means that you can share the day together. It’s something to look forward to and let’s face it, who doesn’t love a good pamper? A day of rest and relaxing is my favourite gift, to both give and receive. There’s nothing quite like the feeling after a restful day of R and R at the spa.

Often a spa day voucher includes lunch too and use of facilities on offer to make a real day of it. It is the perfect opportunity to spend some real quality time with whomever you share it with.

Jo Malone Wild Flowers & Weeds Hemlock & Bergamot Cologne 30ml

The Brit Collection always launches just in time for Mother’s Day and what a wonderful gift to open. For Spring 2019 Jo Malone launched the Wild Flowers and Weeds collection and it is absolutely divine! One of my personal favourites is Hemlock and Bergamot. A delicate mix of powdery petals brightened with bergamot. Illuminated with golden mimosa and a floral flourish of heliotrope. Crisp and modern with a bite of cucumber.

Any purchase from Jo Malone comes beautifully presented in the iconic magnolia bag, complete with elegant hand-tied bows. The products all come in their own magnolia box, again with a hand-tied bow. A stunning and luxurious gift that will let her know just how special she is.

Buckley London Mother Of Pearl Rose Gold Flower Set*

I don’t think you can go far wrong when gifting jewellery. It’s very personal and can be worn and enjoyed long after Mother’s Day. Buckley London is one of my favourite jewellery brands. They’re both stunning and purse-friendly which is a bonus. They have beautifully paired sets which are great for special occasions. One of my favourites for Mother’s Day has to be this beautiful Mother of pearl flower set including necklace and earrings. It has subtle accents of rose gold which work perfectly with the mother of pearl.

Nivea Skincare

A Mother’s work is never done as they say so that coupled with never getting enough sleep, which of course takes it toll. Why not hand-pick some special treats from Nivea to slot into her skincare routine. They have some cult classics containing wonder ingredient Q10 to help reveal a more youthful appearance. Who has to grow older gracefully when we have the wonders of firming skincare? My Top trio from Nivea to combat signs of ageing are:

Q10 Power Anti Wrinkle Plus Firming Replenishing Serum Pearls*

NIVEA Q10 Power Anti-Wrinkle + Firming Replenishing Serum Pearls offers pure anti-wrinkle power for a refined and younger-lookingcomplexion. This anti-ageing Serum contains 10X more Creatine than the previous Q10plus formula.

Q10 Plus C Anti Wrinkle Skin Sleep Cream*

The advanced Q10 plus C Anti-Wrinkle + Energy Skin Sleep Cream combines two powerful anti-oxidants – Q10 and highly effective pure Vitamin C. Wake up looking well-rested, with an energised and smoother looking complexion with this anti-ageing night cream.

Hyaluron Cellular Filler Anti Age Day Cream SPF15*

NIVEA Hyaluron Cellular Filler Anti-Age Day Cream SPF 15 contains a combination of Hyaluron and Magnolia extract to visibly reduce wrinkles and firm skin.

PMD Clean*

A cleansing brush is a real game-changer in a skincare routine. To ensure a thorough cleanse creates the perfect canvas to continue with other products. Since using a cleansing brush I’ve never looked back. It is gentle enough for all skin types and has a range of settings to tailor to the individual. The reverse side of the head can be used to massage in serums and oils to ensure they sink into the deepest layers of the skin. It is waterproof and battery operated, comes in a range of colours and is 100% hygienic.

Bakerdays Letterbox Cake*

Yes, you did read that right, I did say a “letterbox” cake, and it does indeed fit through the letterbox. What a novel idea! Bakerdays make a whole host of cakes, but perfect to surprise her on Mother’s Day are their letterbox cakes. They came in a range of flavours, and gluten-free and vegan options too. They have endless designs for the icing, including personalisation with text and photos. The cake arrives safely concealed inside a breathable, decorated tin. I opted for the classic jam and cream sponge and oh my goodness, it was delicious! It was easily one of the tastiest cakes I’ve tried! I love the fact you can order it to be delivered direct and it makes such a lovely little surprise! Who’d ever expect a letterbox sized cake? More to the point, who wouldn’t love cake in general! All of the cake, please!

Diptyque Candle – Baies

I can only speak for myself here but I adore candles, and I do know of many others who share my affinity for a candle or ten. A candle from Diptyque is the ultimate in luxury and decadence. I can’t imagine a woman alive who wouldn’t be overjoyed to unwrap this on Mother’s Day. Baies is such a beautiful scent combination of blackcurrant leaves and Bulgarian rose.

Elemis Pro Collagen Duo Set*

Elemis is a big name in the world of skincare, and their Pro-Collagen Marine range is of cult status. World Duty Free have the perfect duo including both Pro-Collagen Marine Cream 50ml and Pro-Collagen Oxygenating Night Cream 50ml. The award-winning formula of Pro-Collagen Marine Cream has been shown to reduce the depth of wrinkles, improve skin firmness and hydration in 14 days. The unique Mediterranean algae, Padina Pavonica is blended with Ginkgo Biloba providing superior free-radical protection has been blended with precious Rose and Mimosa Absolutes, thus creating the ultimate anti-ageing cream from Elemis.

Givenchy Make Up Essentials Palette*

Another beauty from World Duty Free. This is essentially a face in a palette pretty much. It has all been so beautifully arranged to include all of the key attributes when doing your makeup. Included in this palette is four lipstick pans, six eyeshadows, one blush, one concealer and one highlight square made up of four shades. You also get two eyeshadow brushes, and one blush brush, tucked inside the case is also a mini mascara. Other than your foundation you’re all set with this palette. Givenchy is such an iconic brand and they’ve executed this palette perfectly. If you’re shopping for a beauty lover I can think of no better gift than this.

Pixi Beauty Double Cleanse

Most of us I’m sure will be familiar with the term double cleanse by now, whether you’re a skincare novice or a junkie. The highly coveted double cleanse is no fad and is absolutely here to stay. I for one am a big fan personally. Pixi has teamed up with Caroline Hirons to bring us the double cleanse, in one handy container. Raved about by skincare lovers up and down the country, this is the ideal way to enjoy the double cleanse.

This Is Silk – Silk Pillowcase*

If you’re a regular reader of mine, you’ll already know of my love of a silk pillowcase. Since using them I have seen a notable improvement in both my skin and my hair. If you can guarantee beauty sleep night on night, why would you deprive yourself? Well quite frankly I can think of no good reason, and this being precisely why I think it would make a wonderful gift.

I hope you enjoyed this post and found some great gift ideas in it. I also have another Mother’s Day Gift Ideas post here if you’re still on the hunt for more inspiration.
