Mother’s Day gift guide

February 17, 2016 by Catherine 1 Comment

Welcome to my Mother’s Day gift guide – yes, it’s really not long until Mother’s Day!  Sunday 6th March is fast approaching, so here are some brilliant gift ideas to help you narrow down your search for the perfect present.

Whether the mum in question enjoys gardening, getting outdoors, pampering or just a lovely treat, there are lots of great gift suggestions here.  Hopefully I’ve done the hard work for you and given you plenty of inspiration on ways to make her feel special this Mother’s Day.  Enjoy!

Give your green-fingered mum an easy way to grow her own fruit and vegetables with a Rocket Garden, from £24.99.  A Rocket Garden is a box of baby vegetable, herb or fruit plants which is delivered direct to your door. All you have to do is follow the instructions included to pop the plants into their new home; they can be grown in traditional beds, containers or raised beds.  There’s a great range of boxes to suit every garden space too.

Mums who have really caught the gardening bug will love being able to extend their seed-growing season with this Premium Thermostatic Control Electric Propagator, £39.99 from Stewart Garden.  The mains-powered mini-greenhouse maintains a constant temperature, which means seeds have a better success rate and grow more quickly.  The Stewart range is available in B&Q, Homebase, Wilkinsons, Dobbies, Wyevale and many independent garden centres.

A beautiful bouquet of flowers is a classic gift choice for Mother’s Day, and this stunning Freya bouquet, £30 from Bloom & Wild, is a perfect option.  The subtle Morning Dew rose is paired with fragrant stocks and delicately scented freesias, with wisps of green bell to create the feel of an English meadow.  Just beautiful.  And it’s a letterbox bouquet, which means it will fit through a standard letterbox, making it no hassle at all for mum to receive beautiful flowers in the post.

Jewellery is a brilliant gift choice for Mother’s Day and a perfect way to make your mum feel really special.  Brilliant Inc have a fantastic range of accessible fine jewellery, featuring non-mined diamonds handset in either sterling silver or 9K gold.  Non-mined diamonds are made in a laboratory under conditions that match the natural volcanic process of diamond creation, so they look just like the real thing at a fraction of the cost.  And they’re ethically produced too.  I particularly love this Circle of Life Necklace, £95, and this Pave Bar Bracelet, £80.  So delicate, I’d be a very happy mum if I unwrapped these!

I hope my selection of Mother’s Day gifts has inspired you, do let me know if you’ll be choosing any of my suggestions for your mum this year.  You might also like to take a look at my Mother’s Day nature crafts post for lots of homemade gift ideas.
