It is a day that I feel even closer with my girls and every year I love to see their handmade cards! So sweet! If you are looking for Mother’s Day gift ideas ideas, I have put together a list of some great products that I have tried and loved so I am hoping you love them too!

Ad-Gifted: I received samples for each product for the purpose of this blog post. 

What I like about this list is that there is a little bit of everything, so you can hopefully find the right present for your lovely mother here. Fingers crossed!

11 Mother’s Day Gift Ideas

1. Smith England

I love trying new products for my hair. I am always looking for products that will make my hair look healthy and soft. So, Smith England is definitely a brand to try. They are a salon-quality, cruelty-free haircare brand that is sold in Sainsbury’s. It offers ranges to suit every hair concern from colour protecting to volume-boosting. Excluding the Gloss range which includes honey, the products are Vegan-Friendly and contain no parabens, sulphates or colourants.

They sent me their nourish range consisting of sulphate-free shampoo (£10), conditioner (£10) and a mask (£10). The shampoo infuses hair with moisture from root to tip. The luxurious formula, enriched with chamomile, nettle and rosemary, delivers instant hydration that also increases with every wash. With the sensual fragrance of jasmine and vanilla for a wellbeing boost. The conditioner is formulated with Pro-vitamin B5 to help seal moisture into every strand. The advanced formula, enriched with chamomile, nettle and coconut oil, delivers instant hydration that also increases with every use. The intensive moisture mask has a transformative treatment that is enriched with chamomile, nettle and rosemary, penetrates the hair to hydrate from the inside-out.

I have a discount code for you. If you use FRANCA20 at checkout on their website, you will get 20% off until 31st of March. Happy shopping!

2. Fiona Cairns Luxury Bathing Range

What better way to show mums the thanks and appreciation they deserve this Mother’s Day than treating them to the luxurious Rose Gourmand bathing range from Fiona Cairns? Developed by Fiona Cairns, who has baked for the Royal Family. The range is designed to indulge the senses to help create those moments of calm all mums deserve at the end of a busy day. ⁣

The collection includes a bubble bath (£8), bath oil (£12), shower gel (£7), body butter. (£7.50), sugar scrub (£10), soap bar (£5) and hand cream (£6.50) among other items. Just like many of Fiona Cairns cakes, the bathing range is inspired by Fiona’s love of natural floral aromatics and spice extracts. The bathing range scent profile is built around a carefully balanced blend of aromas including rose, pink pepper, amber and musk.

This range is available exclusively at Waitrose and via fionacairns.com. I am loving this bath range, especially the rose aroma! It is gorgeous. I’m am running a giveaway on my Instagram, so if you would like to win a Fiona Cairns Luxury Bath Range Bundle head over there. It is on until 18th March.

3. Sugru

If you are looking for something different for your mum and she is a creative mum, then Sugru will be a great option for you. This handy Create & Craft Kit has been designed to delight and inspire both seasoned crafters and first-time dabblers. Sugru is a high tech mouldable glue that sticks to most materials and turns into a strong flexible rubber overnight.

This kit is so great because you can customise anything, create your own moulds, stick any material to another, upcycle things with ease and the best part you can have some fun! It is available from Sugru.com and Amazon from £11.99 and comes with four single-use packs of Sugru, a dinky storage tin, a thimble thumb grip and a textured brush to add extra finish to any project. Plus a booklet with step by step guides for 16 inspirational craft and DIY projects designed to get the most out of every pack! Cool idea, right?

4. African Extracts

If you are looking for a lovely skincare product for your mum, then the African Extracts Rooibos could be your solution. It is one of South Africa’s leading skincare ranges and is infused with the potent antioxidant powers of Rooibos, a plant found and grown only in the Cederberg mountains of the Western Cape, South Africa. Rich in heritage, African Extracts Rooibos skincare strongly believe in the power of nature, and therefore Bio-Active Rooibos is supported by a host of proven natural active ingredients, carefully selected for their skincare benefits.

They sent me their African Extracts Rooibos ADVANTAGE 3-Step Anti-Ageing STARTER Kit (£10.99).  It comes with 3-step products to use on a daily routine. With advanced anti-ageing natural plant complexes to help boost collagen and cellular regeneration, skin is left feeling firmer, smoother and looking more youthful. The Bio Active Rooibos extract, contained in all products, is rich in powerful antioxidants to help protect skin against the ageing effects of free radicals and environmental stress.

5. Cadbury Mother’s Day Treasure Box

Of course, we cannot have a Mother’s Day gift guide without including chocolates. So, why don’t you try Cadbury Mother’s Day Treasure Box (£10)? This is a great affordable Mother’s Day chocolate gift! It comes with a NEW Roses To My Mum gift box alongside a Dairy Milk Bar with a ‘Love you Mum’ sleeve.

And they made it even extra special as they added all the favourite bars wrapped in a Cadbury purple organza gift bag with ribbon. This box is very cute and the chocolates were really yummy. They also have a wider range. This box and the rest of their range is available to buy online.

6. G&B’s Velvet Edition Dark Chocolate Gift

And if your mum is a lover of dark chocolate, she will be very excited to receive the G&B’s Velvet Edition Dark Chocolate Gift (£10). It is a handpicked collection of dark chocolate Velvet Edition bars in sweet new flavours including Raspberry & Hazelnut, Salted Caramel, Mint and Roasted Almond in a gift box with a hand-tied ribbon.

This is a special gift for any dark chocolate-lover with an appetite for adventure. Green & Black’s Velvet Edition is a 70% dark chocolate that is rich in cocoa content, yet exceptionally smooth in flavour. This chocolate gift box contains:

  • 1 x Green & Black’s Salted Caramel Dark Chocolate 90g Bar

  • 1 x Green & Black’s Mint Dark Chocolate 90g Bar.

They also have a wider range online. This box and the rest of their range is available to buy via their website.

7. Tesalate Phoenix – Towel for Two

If your mum loves to do yoga, picnics or any outdoor activities, then Tesalate Phoenix – Towel for Two (£79) is the perfect gift. This one, in particular, is double the size so you can have 2 people on it which is very handy.

Tesalate is an Australian company selling an innovative beach towel. It’s compact and light, so it’s perfect for travellers and a great gift for special occasions. Their vibrant beach towels are made from cutting-edge fabric technology. Apart from repelling sand, the towels are made with AbsorbLite™ fabric. It rapidly dries compared to regular ones, yet it can absorb at least 1 litre of water.

They have towels in Standard and Towel for Two sizes. The Towel for Two is available in 5 of their bestselling designs which are popular among couples and families. Their products are available online via their website as well as on Amazon.

8. Mermaid Pink Gin

If your mum is a gin lover like me, then Mermaid Pink Gin is the perfect gift for Mother’s Day. I promise that you will love this Gin. It is really good. And the bottle is gorgeous too!

Mermaid Pink Gin (£40) is aromatic and refreshing. It infuses the flavour of fresh Isle of Wight strawberries with the smooth yet complex taste of Mermaid Gin, a blend of lemon zest, grains of paradise and fragrant rock samphire. The latter, foraged from the island’s cliffs, is known locally as ‘Mermaid’s Kiss’, hence the gin’s name!⁣

It is less sweet than most pink gins and has no added sugar. The gin has a gentle pink hue. Mermaid Pink is presented in a plastic-free bottle (even the seal is biodegradable) which is 100% recyclable. It is both vegan and gluten-free. What more can we ask for right?⁣ Mermaid Pink Gin is available online via their website as well as on Marks & Spencer. Mermaid Pink Gin (38% ABV/70cl). I’m am running a giveaway on my Instagram, so if you would like to win A Mermaid Pink Gin Bottle, head over there. It is on until 18th March.

9. Popaball Rose Gold Shimmer For Prosecco

If your mum loves to have some shimmer in her life, why not try the Popaball Rose Gold Shimmer For Prosecco (£7.49).

It transforms your prosecco into unicorn prosecco, making it really sparkle! It also tastes amazing! It has a raspberry flavour and it has a rose gold shimmer powder with edible gold leaf hearts. It can also be used in G&Ts, Vodka mixers and anything else fizzy! I personally tried it mixed with my Mermaid Pink Gin and it was lovely!

One pack makes 21 servings and it is only 3 calories per serving. You can add more shimmer for a greater effect and taste. Their products are available online via their website

10. Popsocket 

If your mum can’t get hold of her phone and it is a lover of techy things, I am sure she will love Popsocket products! I have been using Popsockets for a long time and I love them! They now have new and better products which you might love to try too.

The expandable phone grip offers a secure grip and acts as a stand to watch videos on your phone. New PopGrip and PopTop designs allow for easy swapability. Click and twist off to change your PopTop for a whole new look, whenever you feel like refreshing your style. PopGrips are the perfect gift for a Mother as they add a splash of style, and can make mobile phone use more accessible for those with dexterity issues or simply struggling to get to grips with technology.

PopSockets has countless designs and colour schemes: Swarovski crystal range, Real gemstones, and also has a range of car mounts that can attach to dashboards, air vents and windscreens. Their range is huge! Their products are available online. They are offering free shipping + 15% Off CYO for Mother’s Day. Use the CODE: MUM15

11. Mother’s Day Gift Box from Dry Drinker

Finally, if your mum doesn’t drink alcohol but would love the taste of it, the Mother’s Day Gift Box from Dry Drinker (£49.99 with free postage) is what she needs for Mother’s Day. DryDrinker.com has teamed up with Willow & Honey to create a luxurious gift package with wellness at its heart. With three top of the range Premium Alcohol-Free Sparkling Wines from Dry Drinker and a gorgeous-scented Willow & Honey Reed Diffuser, the Mother’s Day Gift Box has all the indulgence required for the special day with no fear of a sore head the next morning.
