Whether you want to spoil your mum, or give your children/husband some subtle hints about what to get for you (hee hee!), I’ve put together some inspiring ideas for Mother’s Day gifts this year.
- Afternoon Tea
Why not leave the kids at home and take your mum for afternoon tea this Mother’s Day. In London, The Mandeville Hotel in Marylebone Village, does a fabulous ‘Time for Tea’ package £31 including champage, which I recently enjoyed for a friend’s birthday. If you want to splash out, The Ritz is also doing a specific Mother’s Day package for £58 pp with a glass of champagne.
- Spa day/massage/facial
Mums love being pampered. It’s not often they treat themselves. Spa hotels and beauty salons across the UK will be doing special packages for Mother’s Day. You could look at Lastminute.com or Wahanda to find out what’s available.
- Personalised Cookie Collection from £15, CustomCookieCo.co.uk
Different from the usual bunch of flowers, these Individually wrapped hand decorated cookies, look almost too good to eat (I did say almost 
). You get M, U, M, a flower, a personalised heart & 5 smaller flowers – each trimmed with a satin ribbon and supplied in a lovely gift bag and gift tag with personalised message. 1 cookie can be personalised with up to 3 words. This collection is £15 per gift bag. Flower size 85mm in diameter.
- Box of Gorgeous Gifts from £32, HappyBoxLondon.com
Happy Box London puts together gifts from luxury brands, nicely packed up in a stylish box. They’ve got a range of Mother’s Day Happy Boxes, or you can create a bespoke one.
I like Blooming Wonderful – £45.50. It includes Blooming Jewel, an artisan tea with dramatically unfurling flower blossoms. Flower complex hand lotion with lotus, chinese rose, black orchid and iris. And delicious dark chocolate from Rococo of London infused with rose and violet oils. For their other Mother’s Day boxes see here

Such nice treats! I’m going to bookmark as inspiration and leave the laptop casually open. I’ve just put up some ideas too, so I’ll put a link to this post (if OK) at the bottom?
Of course, that’s absolutely fine x
