Mother’s Day Gift Inspiration. Your Go-To Guide.

Everyone wants to spoil their mum when Mother’s Day comes around, but it can be difficult to find the perfect gift for the lady that means so much to you. The main choices are pleasant but often underwhelming: jewellery, books, clothing and scented candles…Do you know what are your siblings getting her? Should you club together for a joint gift or go it alone? What about something that gains value over time – you can find out more about investment pieces here – the whole process is incredibly mind boggling, difficult and stressful. So, with that in mind we’ve come up with an easy guide to give you a little inspiration.

A Spa Experience
Mums always put everyone else first. So, you could make Mother’s Day all about her and her needs for a change! A whole weekend at a spa might be a little on the expensive side, but that doesn’t mean you can’t treat her to a gorgeously indulgent afternoon at your local day spa. You could both have a treatment and then make the day even more indulgent with a mouth-watering afternoon tea. Alternatively, if you’re looking for something a little more budget friendly, head to a local salon and see what treatments they can provide. It’s a lovely way for you to spend time together.

A Gym Session
I know, I know – not every mum has the energy or desire to get all hot and sweaty in the name of fitness. But if your mum is looking to move a little more or is conscious of her health then you could look at something like a PT session, or an ongoing gym membership. Alternatively, you could join her up to a fun fitness class – you could join her! If your mum is already a fitness fanatic then how about a nice new water bottle? A fitness tracker, or some new active wear or accessories?

Lessons
Does your mum watch cooking shows and wish she had a little more flair in the kitchen? Or maybe she sees professional dancers on TV and wishes she could have a go? Treating your mum to cookery lessons or dancing lessons is a great gift that she certainly won’t be expecting. She could learn Spanish for the next time she heads off on holiday or brush up on her photography skills so she can take amazing pictures of her grandchildren in action. The possibilities are endless. Who knows, she might even find a new hobby!

A Journal
Giving the gift of a journal or diary is something really special. Because it’s giving the recipient somewhere to write down all their feelings, their hopes and their dreams…and even their shopping list! If your mum is always scrabbling about for a piece of paper to write important things down, or you feel that she might benefit from writing down her own thoughts and ideas, then gifting a journal will certainly be an instant hit. Make sure you treat her to some nice stationary while you’re at it!
