Mother’s Day Gift Guide 2023 – Lovely Gift Ideas to Celebrate Mums

Mother’s Day Gift Guide 2023 – Lovely Gift Ideas to Celebrate Mums | AD

The next big event in the calendar is of course Mother’s Day so here’s is my Mother’s Day gift guide! Mother’s Day is the day to celebrate mums, grandmothers and other motherly figures in your life with some special attention and lovely treats to enjoy. In this Mother’s Day gift guide, I will share some of my favourite gift ideas to celebrate mums this year.

• VonHaus Grey Sun Lounger Chair With Cushion

I’m going to start my Mother’s Day gift guide with my favourite gift for Mother’s Day – a special garden chair for just mum! A comfortable and stylish steamer chair to lounge on in the garden, a seat that is always available for her.

Mums spend so much of their time running around doing things for other people and rarely get to sit down to just relax. I think all mums deserve a special seat to enjoy in the garden where they can relax with a good book and drink.

This wonderful chair from VonHaus looks elegant and stylish and the classic design would suit any garden. It has a slatted construction made of durable acacia hardwood with a nice, oiled finish for a deep sheen. The chair comes with a seat cushion made from strong, quick-drying, wrinkle-resistant polyester that you attach to the chair for a secure fit.

The design of the VonHaus Grey Sun Lounger Chair With Cushion is adjustable so that you can choose whether you want to sit upright or lie down – there are 7 backrest positions and an adjustable, removable footstool. The chair folds up flat very easily and quickly for storage which is very convenient.

This beautiful garden chair would make a great Mother’s Day gift that I’m sure would be very appreciated and used lots!

• Gin In A Tin

For a mum who loves gin, treat her to a gorgeous and delicious Gin In A Tin. Gin In A Tin is a British company that specialises in creating unique blends of gin presented in gorgeous tins. There’s a fun and colourful collection of gins in tins to choose from that can be delivered as a letterbox gift and as monthly gin subscriptions. The tins can be personalised too and there are special edition tins in exclusive designs as well.

Here you can see the Blooming Delicious Gin! which is the perfect gin gift for Mother’s Day. The design of this tin is stunning with an array of colourful foliage and flowers. The gin inside the tin has distinctive notes of pomegranate, raspberry and cardamom plus other botanicals centred around juniper. It’s light and fruity and tastes amazing in a gin and tonic!

• Buzzworthy: Cocktails Inspired by Female Literary Greats

The book is a collection of 50 cocktail recipes inspired by the world’s most iconic writers.

For a mum who is always on the go, the Kilner 0.35 litre Breakfast Jar Set would make a great gift! You can prepare breakfast meals such as yoghurt with cereal toppings or overnight oats at home and have it ready to take with you (or enjoy at home). The jar has a silicone disc that helps prevent spills during transportation and also helps keep the contents fresh in the fridge. The side of the jar shows measurements which is practical and the silicone band is a handy holder for the included Viners Stainless Steel Spoon.

This Set Of 2 Snack And Store Pots (125ml) makes a lovely gift too. They’re great for storing and transporting snacks like nuts, seeds, fruit and veg, or dips, for example. They can also be used for homemade desserts portions. I find this size jar a very handy size for lots of things. The jars come with easy push-on silicone lids which are water tight and leak-proof.

A jigsaw puzzle from Wentworth Wooden Puzzles is always a great gift for anyone who loves a jigsaw puzzle.

The puzzles from Wentworth Wooden Puzzles are made in the UK and the packaging is completely plastic-free too. The quality is so amazing – these jigsaws are made to last!

• Zanatany Concepts Tote Bag

A beautiful and practical bag like this Zanatany Concepts Tote Bag makes a great gift! Zanatany Concepts’ products are sustainably handmade in Madagascar. Zanatany means child of the Earth in Malagasy, a belonging and cultural affirmation. Zanatany Concepts got their inspiration for their product range from life in Madagascar.

“While we create more work and income for a country that is largely left behind, we hope to make a local difference in some families by bringing additional income to help the next generation grow.”

Zanatany Concepts work with raffia which is a natural fibre that is soft, pliable, strong, and durable. It’s easy to dye and it’s biodegradable too. It’s a great material for bags, baskets, hats, mats, and rugs.

• Mayraki Hair Care Gift Set

Some pampering treats always make brilliant Mother’s Day gifts! This nourishing Mayraki Hair Care Gift Set is the perfect hair care treat for anyone who wants to show their hair some TLC. The set consists of a Mayraki Weightless Essential Oil Nutritive Treatment and a wooden paddle brush.

The Mayraki Weightless Essential Oil Nutritive Treatment is a wonderful treatment for damaged and/or dry hair. You can use it as a pre-shampoo treatment to hydrate and repair hair if your hair is very damaged. Leave on for 15-30 minutes, then shampoo and condition as normal.

The other way to use it is as an after-shampoo treatment to condition your hair. After washing, towel dry and add a generous amount of treatment to your hair from an inch away from the roots all the way to the tips of the hair. Leave for 20-30 minutes, then rinse as usual. You can also use it for quick conditioning in the shower on busy days with great results! This hair treatment leaves hair silky smooth and easy to brush. The large paddle brush is great for brushing your hair through after washing and also gives your scalp a nice massage.

• Mother’s Day Cards

Last, but not least, we’re going to look at some beautiful Mother’s Day cards. A card for Mother’s Day is an important part of the celebration and I have some lovely options here in my Mother’s Day gift guide.

Above, you can see some fun and heartfelt options from A Town Called Home. A Town Called Home is a small business based in Newcastle that launched during the pandemic. They provide a wide range of cards for all different occasions as well as other gifts like mugs and prints. They create unique, hand-made designs that make people smile and offer lots of themed cards – TV & Music, Sports, and Funny & Regional. I love the Wordle designs personally – they’re both funny and sweet!

If you want to buy a regional gift or card, you can browse these by region which is very helpful. I love this Yorkshire Sayings – Yorkshire Phrases Translations Print. It’s a unique print with translations of some popular Yorkshire phrases. It also includes illustrations of some popular Yorkshire landmarks. Available in A3 or A4.

Next up, these pretty cards from Cake and Crayons which is a one-person business run by Helen. She draws all the illustrations and designs all the cards as well as takes care of all the orders, packing and shipping. She makes beautiful cards – each one is like a piece of art!

Here, you can see some of the Mother’s Day cards that are available from Cake and Crayons. The designs are so vibrant and colourful! They have sweet messages to mothers on Mother’s Day and I love that there’s a card for two mums and one that says “Thinking of you this Mother’s Day” that could be given to someone who needs some extra love on this day. There’s also a “You’re like a Mum to me” card and a design for grandmothers too. All cards are blank on the inside so that you can add your own message. The cards are supplied with a Kraft envelope and printed on 300gsm fully recyclable card stock.

Hope you’ve enjoyed my Mother’s Day gift guide for this year and have found some nice gift ideas to inspire you!
