Mother’s Day Gift Guide 2024 – Thoughtful Gifts for Mums | AD

Spring is just around the corner now and that means it will soon be Mother’s Day too. I love the whole idea of Mother’s Day. Generally, mums are experts at doing lots of things for others while neglecting their own needs and wants which makes Mother’s Day the perfect time for spoiling them with treats just for them. In this gift guide, I have collected some of my top picks for this year. Read on to explore some lovely and thoughtful gifts for mums!

• LOVALL Joggers & Leggings

Give the gift of style and comfort this Mother’s Day with some stylish pieces from LOVALL – the home of leggings, jeans, and timeless basics. I love LOVALL’s selection of comfortable, high-quality leggings for exercise and daily wear – they are the perfect combination of style and function.

For Mother’s Day, this co-ord loungewear set consisting of the Dark Cherry Luxe Lounge Sweatshirt and the Dark Cherry Luxe Lounge Jogger makes a lovely treat. These garments are so luxuriously soft with their soft brushed lining and soft touch fabric – perfect for cosy days at home.

I love the design which is classic but with some interesting details which make the items look and feel special. The joggers have a high-rise fit and full-length legs for maximum comfort and the sweatshirt has a crew neck collar and cuffed long sleeves. It’s the ideal outfit for relaxing at home, comfortable but put together.

Next, a pair of amazing leggings that should be in everyone’s wardrobe. The LOVALL Winter Everyday High Waisted Leggings. These might be the most comfortable things I have ever put on my legs! These leggings have a supportive high-rise waistband, are thick and non-see through, and have a high-quality brushed interior which is so soft, cosy, and comfortable.

These leggings are perfect for keeping you warm and comfy all day long while the weather is still chilly. I love them and would highly recommend them for everyone. Treat your mama to a pair and get some for yourself at the same time. You won’t regret it!

Tired parents, you are not alone – join the club, a community of like-minded parents who are also sleep-deprived.

If you are looking for a gift for someone who loves style but also values the environment, look no further.

This stunning glass carafe is made out of recycled beer and wine bottles that have been melted down and handblown to create a unique carafe. Each one is slightly different with its own pattern of small bubbles that catch the light beautifully.

Let me introduce you to the Gilley umbrella which is an innovative umbrella that solves all the issues that most umbrellas come with. Gilley umbrellas are dry after use, windproof, sustainable, stylish, and trackable, to mention a few of their benefits. They are also made from the highest quality materials to ensure a premium, yet affordable product.

Gilley wants to put an end to the billions of umbrellas that are sent to landfill each year with a product that is built-for-life. It’s sturdy, easy to use, and solves so many niggles!

The Gilley umbrella has a unique, hard case that is watertight to ensure zero drips. The case also transforms into a comfortable handle when you’re using the umbrella. Other features include double layered vents, a reinforced fiberglass frame, an aluminium alloy shaft, a durable fabric with a hydrophobic coating, and a microfiber cap for moisture containment. It’s also slim and lightweight so easy to take with you anywhere so that you can be ready for the rain. I love the carry loop and the stylish design too.
