Mother’s Day Gift Guide 2018
It’s that time of year again, it’s Mother’s Day on Sunday 11th March 2018. I love buying presents for my Mum, who doesn’t?After having a child myself I’ve realised just how important Mother’s Day is, to say thank you to your Mum for all the hard work, exhaustion and love that they have put into raising you. It really is a special day and any Mum deserves to be treated.
So to make the hunt for a Mother’s Day present a little easier, I’ve put together this brilliant Gift Guide to help you find the perfect present for your Mum. Or to give your partner inspiration for a gift from your children. There are some gorgeous gifts all designed for Mums who are into different things, and they are all available from independent brands and small businesses.
For the Mum who loves gardening…
The Premium Ladies’ Garden Set from Great Little Garden is the perfect gift for a Mum who loves gardening and spending time in the great outdoors.
This kit is packed with gardening essentials including a 3 seedling trays, stainless steel hand fork and hand trowel, tools coat hook, gardener’s hand cream, nailbrush, pink gardening gloves and a soap on a rope. As you can see this is ideal to help your Mum with their gardening as well as looking after their hands.
It costs just £49.99 from Great Little Garden which is really good value for all the kit that you get.
For the Mum who loves a personalised gift…
If your Mum loves a treasured memento and a personalised gifts, then Snappy Snaps has the ideal present including mugs, photo frames and cushions. All are available at a very reasonable price, and It’s really easy to order. Simply visit the website, find your local branch, enter your details and supply your image. If you are buying a present for a Mum on behalf on their children, this would make a lovely gift so that they can see their children everyday.
For the Mum with a newborn baby (or a teething baby)…
Halia Rose create an absolutely gorgeous range of teething jewellery. There are necklaces and bracelets available in any colour, and in many styles too. So there is bound to be one that your Mum will love.
All the teething jewellery is safe for a child to chew on as they are BPA free, and made from a very chewable texture. Plus they will love playing with the jewellery, helping to distract little ones from teething pain, and hopefully giving Mum some respite too!
This gorgeous necklace is the Petals in Ginger and costs £18.99. There are so many more in the Halia Rose range so please do check them out.
For the Mum who loves gorgeous jewellery…
Sticking with the jewellery presents here, and who doesn’t love jewellery? Boho Betty have something for every single Mum from necklaces to bracelets to earrings. Every single item from Boho Betty is absolutely stunning, and I must admit that I would love it all.
The range include tassel jewellery, gold, silver, and rose gold jewellery, new pom pom earrings, plus so much more. Boho Betty really is the place to come to buy a really special treat.
This Claret on Gold Double Circle necklace is simple, yet classic, and looks great with pretty much anything. It can be dressed up or dressed down, and costs only £24.50.
For the coffee loving on-the-go Mum…
If your Mum is like me then I love a coffee on-the-go. When my toddler was younger and I was doing endless laps of the park trying to get her to sleep in the buggy I would have really appreciated this gift.
ECoffee Cup create a beautiful range of reusable coffee cups. They are all made with a natural and sustainable bamboo fibre, which is light to drink and gives no plastic after-taste, plus they are dishwasher safe too. All cups come with a grip handle for easy grip and to stop your fingers from getting too hot.
This beautiful cup is the William Morris Pomme design and costs £11.49. It’s a beautiful product, and there are so many other styles and designs on the ECoffee Cup website.
For the Mum who loves to pamper herself…
The team at Soap Folk have created some really gorgeous smelling treats, and this Soap Box is a simply stunning present. It comes with four delicious smelling soaps in lavender & oatmilk, rose geranium, milk & honey, and peppermint which are all handmade.
All the packaging is stunning. The soaps arrive tied up by a cotton ribbon and pretty label tag, making any Mum feel like they are receiving a real treat when they open it.
The soap box costs £20.00 which is great value for a Mother’s Day present.
For a Mum who has just had a baby…
The early days of having a newborn are super hard, and every single parent out there wants to celebrate their achievements. Sometimes just having a shower or a hot cup of tea is an achievement, especially when you’ve had no sleep or a feeding baby all day. That’s why these Mummy Milestones Card from Isabella & Us are perfect.
I really love the cards that read:
Today I was left in charge and we survived
Today I washed my hair
Today I am off duty
They would make any Mum smile, and the cards are available for £10.00 from the Isabella & Us store on Etsy..
For the Mum who loves a bath…
This pretty bath bomb gift set would make a perfect gift for any Mum who loves to relax in the bath at the end of the day, or to escape the children. I know that I would love this gift, as I love a bath at the end of the day where I can relax and read my book.
It comes packed with 6 bath bombs that have great names including Chic & Cheerful, Love Buds and Urban Rose, and it’s available for £9.99 from what2buyforkids.
For the Mum who loves a beautiful gift…
Whoopsie Daisie have an amazing array of gifts for any Mum. The range includes clothing, cards, clutch bags for nappies, and banners, plus a huge range of gifts for a child too. This is a really new British brand who create gorgeous products and I wish that I could purchase more from the range.
This banner is absolutely ideal for any Mum to hang up in their home, to remind them everyday they are more than just a Mama. As I mentioned at the start of the post being a Mum is super hard work, yet so rewarding, and this banner clearly says it all.
It’s available for £10.00 from Whoopsie Daisie.
For the Mum who loves chocolate…
I’m pretty sure that any Mum loves chocolate, and these chocolates from Lily O’Briens are divine. The Exquisite Edition is packed full of delicious flavours including salted caramel, raspberry and sicilian lemon, and creme brulee. And, that’s only just a starting point, there are so many more.
This Lily O’Briens chocolate box costs just £15.50, and I could honestly eat these every single day of my life. So if the Mum you are buying for loves chocolate then this gift is definitely for her.
For the Mum-to-be…
If you are buying for a Mum-to-be then this Maternity Kit from the Natural Birthing Company is ideal. The kit is designed by midwives, so it really has been put together with the best care for the Mum in mind. It comes packed full of products designed to help any Mum-to-be including cooling body spritz, perineal massage oil, soothing postnatal compress solution, breastfeeding oils, and two organic unbleached flannels.
I love this kit, and it will definitely come in handy closer to the due date of my baby, and after the little one is born.
So if you’re purchasing for a Mum-to-be, then consider the Mama’s Moment Maternity Kit from the Natural Birthing Company. It’s available for £49.99.
That’s it! I hope you love all the gifts featured here (just as much as I do), and manage to find something to purchase for the Mum in your life.
Lastly don’t forget to enter the Great Little Garden (below) and Snappy Snaps competition over on my Twitter channel (see pinned post).

Great gift guide! Excellent picks. The Lily O’Briens made me chuckle, I got sent some last year but when they were delivered I was in the shower and my hound of a son opened the door to the postman, who he classes as a friend, the postman let him sign for them and I was none the wiser. That is until I got out of the shower to find he had opened the parcel, realised what it was and eaten half of every chocolate in the whole box. Now the door is always locked!! #fortheloveofBLOG
