Mother’s Day Gift Guide 2022

The start of Spring is here! That means that Mother’s Day is just around the corner too. Like I do every year, I have put together a gift guide with lovely gifts for mums. Whether you’re looking for a gift for your own mum or the mother of your children, I’m sure you’ll find some suitable Mother’s Day gift ideas in this blog post that is full of treats for mamas!

• VonHaus Spinningfield Houndstooth Trunk

VonHaus has a gorgeous range of home accessories that would make great Mother’s Day gifts for mums that value a stylish home. This Spinningfield Houndstooth Trunk is my favourite and it’s a gift that is both practical and luxurious. It’s a large trunk that is suitable for storing things like blankets, handbags or knitting project (or whatever else you’d like to put it it). It can also double up as a coffee table. You can gift it as it is or fill it with more gifts or treats! The vintage yet modern looking trunk is a great addition to any home.

• Astley Clarke Personalised Locket

They have a lovely range of locket necklaces that can be personalised with pictures inside and engraved too and they make a great gift for occasions like Mother’s Day.

Here you can see the Biography Earth Locket Necklace in Yellow Gold Vermeil which I have had personalised with a quote inside and a message on the back. It’s a beautiful dainty necklace and the recess engraving of the Earth design is perfect for anyone who loves travel and/or nature.

• Real Almond Amaretto Liqueur and Dark Chocolate Pralines with Grappa Cream

Now time for a duo of treats that would make an amazing Mother’s Day gift: Villa de Varda Real Almond Amaretto Liqueur and Dark Chocolate Pralines with Grappa Cream from Independent Wine, the award-winning Italian wine specialist.

This gift set includes a bottle of Villa de Varda Amaretto Liqueur which is made in tiny quantities and completely from natural almond skins (unlike most Amaretto liqueurs). The almond harvesting in the Trentino forests is tightly controlled to preserve the natural ecology of the woodland so only a small amount of the precious nuts can be collected. Villa de Varda is an artisan grappa distillery set in the Dolomite Alps and their small team collects the almonds by hand in the beautiful forests and then turns them into a creamy and sweet Amaretto Liqueur with flavours of dry biscotti, candied orange peel, mountain herbs and of course those amazing almonds with their hint of elegant bitterness.  

With the Amaretto Liqueur, you get a packet of delicious Dark Chocolate Pralines with Grappa Cream that are handmade by the maître chocolatier of Villa de Varda. The dark chocolate shells are filled with a delicate and soft Grappa Riserva Triè-infused cream. The perfect combination of dark, high quality Italian chocolate and the rich flavour of barrique-aged grappa. What a treat!

• Personalised Gold Popcorn Charm Bracelet from Inscripture

This pretty and stylish charm bracelet from Inscripture would make a lovely Mother’s Day gift. It’s made from 18ct Gold Vermeil and perfect for daily use and fancy occasions too. The bobbly “popcorn” texture adds interest, and the bracelet can easily be adjusted in size to fit different wrist sizes.

To the 19mm gold heart charm, you can add a name, date, or short message. Mine says “Mamma” for Mother’s Day. You can choose to engrave both sides of the heart if you wish. You can also request to swap the heart for a different charm if you prefer.

This stunning personalised popcorn charm bracelet comes gift boxed, ready to be presented to a loved one.

• Home Is Where My Mum Is Personalised Map from Positive Prints

The business started with personalised sky maps with how the night sky looked at a certain date and has since evolved to include a range of different types of prints that can be personalised in many ways – maps, birth posters, baby sketches, moon posters and more.

For Mother’s Day, they have a few lovely posters that are sure to make a mum feel loved, including the Home is Where My Mum Is Map that you can see above. It’s so customisable – have fun with selecting the exact area that will be on the poster, the shape of the picture, the colour schemes, the format and the details. It’s so easy and quick and shipping is free too. You can use ready made templates or choose your own colours and play around with the design to create something that’s perfect for the occasion. You can preview all the changes on the screen while you’re making the changes.

My mum and my side of the family are all in Stockholm, Sweden, so I personalised the Home Where My Mum Is option to make a Stockholm map with a scribbly red heart and changed the colours to represent the Swedish flag. I’m so happy with the result!

• Candles with a Story from Olivia’s Haven

Olivia’s Haven specialises in hand-poured soy candles and home fragrances. The company was founded by Olivia Burns from Coleraine, Northern Ireland. After working in branding for many years, she decided to create her own brand and that’s how Olivia’s Haven was born. Having always loved candles and being fascinated with the link between scents and memories, she started experimenting with wax and fragrance oils to create her wonderful range of candles with scents inspired by her own memories. She worked alongside an illustrator to create the vibrant designs for the packaging that match the stories that the scents tell.

There are many beautiful scents to choose from. Here you can see Wild Heather, inspired by Olivia’s mum’s insatiable appetite for adventure and The Secret Library inspired by a secret library at an inn from Olivia’s childhood. You can read the full story behind each scent on each candle’s product listing. I love this whole idea and the candles are amazing!
