What Mums Really Want This Mother’s Day – A Gift Guide

What Mums Really Want This Mother’s Day – A Gift Guide | AD

Coming up in the calendar is of course Mother’s Day – a day to celebrate the mother figures in your life. What can you get for this special woman to show her how much she means to you and thank her for everything she does? In this guide, I will share some Mother’s Day gift ideas for you to get inspiration from. I’ve been a mum for over a decade myself and therefore have good insight into what mums really want this Mother’s Day. Let’s get started.

Luxurious Pampering Products

Most mums with young children really appreciate some time to relax and enjoy a bit of pampering. This is extra important when the kids are young and me-time is very sparse for most mums, but mums with older children do enjoy pampering and relaxing as well.

For Mother’s Day, some luxurious, indulgent and eco-conscious beauty and skincare products from The Edinburgh Natural Skincare Company make the perfect treat. The luxury products from this company are handmade in Scotland using 100% natural ingredients of the highest quality. The beautiful packaging is all eco-friendly too.

Here you can see the brand’s amazing Luxury No.1 Mineral Bathing Sensation Bath Salts and Luxury No.1 Cold Processed Soap – the perfect duo for luxurious evening baths to revive tired mums this Mother’s Day!

Luxury No.1 Mineral Bathing Sensation Bath Salts

These mineral-rich bath salts are the perfect way to make bathtime special. They have been infused with relaxing and uplifting essential oils that create an amazing spa-like experience while the natural minerals work on soothing tired muscles and nourishing the skin.

Luxury No.1 Cold Processed Soap

This bar is more than just soap – this product is made with a blend of natural oils and butters to create a sensory experience. The handmade, cold-pressed soap creates a silky lather that gently cleanses and hydrates the skin without stripping it off its natural moisture – a nourishing treat for the skin. This luxurious soap has a delicate fragrance from natural essential oils and smells lovely! It’s perfect for making daily washing a moment of pure relaxation.

A Win for the Planet Cards for Good

For a thoughtful and unusual gift for an eco-conscious mama, look no further. A Win for the Planet cards from Cards for Good are beautifully illustrated giftable “scratch cards” where every card is guaranteed to win a donation to a planet friendly cause. 

Scratch the panel to reveal the symbols – the three matching ones represent the donation that you have won:

• 3 x tree symbols for planting 2 trees (Winning for trees)
• 3 x plastic bottle symbols for cleaning up 50 plastic bottles from the ocean (Winning for oceans)
• 3 x clouds and sun symbols for removing 50kg of excess CO2 from our atmosphere to tackle climate change (Winning for the climate)

It’s a guaranteed win for the lucky recipient and for the planet and a fun gift to receive too. The donation is made when the card is purchased, so the recipient doesn’t need to do anything to claim their prize.

The size of these scratch cards is a handy A6 to fit neatly inside most greeting cards. Cards for Good also have a small range of lovely greeting cards for special occasions – here you can see the Flowers design which I love. 

The A Win for the Planet cards from Cards for Good are printed on recycled/FSC sourced paper and packaged with a recyclable silver envelope and biodegradable cello bag. 

Warmies Warm Hugs Sloths

Give an adorable gift of comfort, warmth, and relaxation in the form of these Warmies Warm Hugs Sloths. They are heatable soft toys that you can warm up in the microwave to provide hours of soothing warmth and comfort. 

There’s a wide range of Warmies to choose from in luxuriously soft plush designs. They are weighted, scented with relaxing and soothing French lavender, and can be reheated over and over again. You can also chill them in the freezer for cooling relief.

Warmies make great gifts for all ages and this duo of super cute sloths makes a perfect gift for Mother’s Day. It’s a gift that offers long-lasting comfort and relaxation, whenever needed. The sloths can be used together in their sweet embrace or separately. Browse the full collection on the Warmies website.

Consumable Treats for Mother’s Day

Something else that mums really want this Mother’s Day are consumable treats that they can enjoy. You’ll know your mum best, but these treats can be things like their favourite luxury chocolates, a nice gift box of good quality tea, or a bottle of their favourite tipple, for example.

Here are a few ideas:

• Hotel Chocolat Happy Mother’s Day H-Box
• Pukka Herbs Gourmet Favourites Herbal Tea Selection Box
• MOM Love Gin

Afternoon Tea (or A Meal Out)

For mums with young children, a voucher for a fancy afternoon tea with a friend makes a great Mother’s Day treat. There are lots of options to choose from – luxury hotels offering high end afternoon teas, cosy little cafés, afternoon teas on double-decker buses driving through London, specialist afternoon tea themes (vegan, Japanese, savoury afternoon tea with burgers) and more. Check what’s available locally to you and what you think the mum you’re buying for would enjoy the most.

For grown-up children looking to treat their mother, you can take them out for afternoon tea or another meal out as a treat. This is also a great way to spend quality time together, just the two of you, while enjoying some tasty goodies.

A Spa Day, Beauty Treatment or Massage

Back to the theme of pampering because mums love and NEED pampering. Treat your mum to relaxation with a spa day, a beauty treatment (like a facial, for example), or a professional massage. These gift ideas offer pure relaxation and a chance for her to really recharge her batteries, returning home feeling refreshed. As mentioned before, this is extra important for mums with younger children. Mums in that stage of motherhood rarely get much time for themselves and often don’t get enough sleep for proper body and mind recovery.

Like with the afternoon tea idea above, for older or grown-up children this is another thing that you can do together too – a mother and daughter spa day sounds like a fantastic way to celebrate Mother’s Day.

A Heartfelt Card

Last but not least, mums love receiving heartfelt cards from their children – preferably handmade by the children themselves with their adorable drawings and sweet notes and love messages. These mean so much to us and will be treasured forever.

Collaboration.
