Mother’s Day is just around the corner, and it’s time to start thinking outside the bouquet. This year, why not treat your mum to something as fabulous and unique as she is? Whether she’s the kind of woman who savours a quiet evening at home or someone who always seeks out an adventure, my suggestions will help make her smile. Here are some gift ideas that aren’t just memorable – they tell the story of your appreciation and love.
JustChoc Box – vegan chocolates
Crafted with Peruvian chocolate, JustChoc boxes are similar to the popular PLAYinCHOC by the same brand, only without the kid’s toy. The chocolate is vegan, so perfect for a vegan mum to enjoy on Mother’s Day. Each box is £5.50 and has 100g of chocolate. There are two varieties: one is dark chocolate, and the other is like milk chocolate but vegan!
Vendula Sweet Shop Purse – Quirky and Cute
Vendula’s whimsical Sweet Shop Purse is for mums who like a dash of fun in their ensemble. This lovely purse, designed to look like a classic British sweet shop, has all the details – from the awning to the tiny sweet jars. It is a conversation starter and spacious enough to carry everything a modern mum needs, with lots of space for cash and cards. I use mine every day and it usually contains about ten different cards, a good handful of coins and a wedge of receipts, sometimes mixed with a few notes if Ben hasn’t needed them for something or another!
Heated Foot Massager
Help your mum unwind with the simple push of a button. This heated foot massager soothes tired feet and calves, melting away the day’s stress. It’s the perfect gift for any mother who’s been on her feet, whether she’s spent the day in the office or chasing after grandchildren. It is available from PrezzyBox for £25 at the moment, so a good bargain!

This mixed pack makes a lovely gift with a bottle of gin or on their own for a mum who loves a few drinks. It is available directly from Double Dutch Drinks for £7.50.
A Hamper of Chocolates and Prosecco
If your mum has a sweet tooth, there’s arguably no better gift than a hamper filled to the brim with a curated selection of chocolates and a bottle of bubbly. Additionally, this gift is perfect for an early Mother’s Day celebration that doubles as a pampering party – who doesn’t love a good chocolate and wine night? You can even personalise the chocolates to add that extra touch of thoughtfulness. This hamper is £35.
Photo Cushion
Personalised gifts always hit the right notes, and a photo cushion with a beloved family picture is a beautiful, heartfelt present. Your mum can keep it on her favourite chair or sofa, and every time she looks at it, she’ll be reminded of the love and memories shared. It’s both a decorative accessory and a treasured keepsake rolled into one cosy package. This one is from ASDA Photo and is available from £14-21, depending on your chosen size.
Wooden Photo Picture
A step up from traditional framed photos, a wooden picture adds a touch of nature and style to Mum’s home decor. These customisable pieces display the faces and milestones that warm her heart. They add character to any space and make for an unconventional present that she likely won’t have received before. This one is just £15.50 from ASDA Photo and makes a lovely but also low cost gift.
Beauty products
Would mum like some new beauty products? whether you buy her one item or a whole basket full you are sure to find something she will love.
This Eye cream from Dr PawPaw is a popular choice with a blend of papaya fruit extract, aloe vera and hyaluronic acid to soothe and condition the delicate under eyes. It is a vegan cream so perfect for vegan mums too. Topped with retinol, the eye cream helps to smooth the appearance of fine lines for a visibly plumper and firmer-looking finish.
If your mum is keen on pamper days and face masks this set from 7th Heaven is a lovely choice. With 1 hair mask, 7 face masks and a body puff in a nice useful storage container it makes a great gift for just £9.99 from Amazon.
A Massage
The cost of a massage for mum might be a little out of your reach or you feel it isn’t a good enough gift but have you considered a mini massager she can use on herself as often as she needs?
This Massager from Wahl is a lovely gift and is just £89.99 and will help her to relieve aches and pains for the whole year so not just a one off massage. It includes 4 attachment heads and charges with a convenient USB cable and when charged provides 200 minutes of massage use so a perfect gift.
Personalised Drinking Glasses
Treat your mum to elegant drinking glasses engraved with a special message or date. Whether she prefers wine, gin, or a classic G&T, these bespoke glasses will make her cocktail hour feel like a celebration of her. The wine glass below is just £9.99, so a bargain in my opinion, and is from Max Spielmann.
Sweets
What mum wouldn’t love some sweets? Did you know all the below are also vegan? These are just some of the range from Swizzels that you could buy for mum or perhaps encourage your kids to buy for their mum for mothers day for a few pounds at the most.
Coffee syrups
If you are buying for a mum who loves coffee then these coffee syrups could be the perfect gift.
Photo Keyrings for a low-cost personalised gift
Photo keyrings make a lovely personalised gift for a very low cost of around £2.50. You could get a different child on each side too if you choose. These keyrings are from Max Spielmann and cost £2.50 each but there are different styles for a little more if you prefer.
Remember that the thought behind it counts the most, no matter which gift you choose for mum for mothers day. Mother’s Day is about showing appreciation for all the hard work and love mums give throughout the year. With these unique ideas, you’re not just giving a gift; you’re giving a piece of your heart. Happy Mother’s Day!
