Wowcher spa day with cream tea
For the bargain price of £40, the lucky recipient will enjoy an entire day at Bannatyne Spa with full use of its top-tier facilities, as well as a 30-minute treatment of their choice.
Advert
In addition to the luxurious spa experience, she’ll also receive a delicious cream tea (with her choice of a hot drink), a complimentary eye mask, and a £10 voucher to spend on spa products.
This entire package is usually costed at £110.60 per person, so at the bargain price of £40, you're saving an impressive 64% on the bundle.
Baylis & Harding hand cream set
Advert
You can’t go wrong with a luxe hand cream and this one from Baylis & Harding contains three of their bestsellers: jojoba, vanilla and almond oil. Perfect for her to pop one in her handbag, another by her bedside and one in her travel toiletry bag, at under £8 for the lot, it’s a real a bargain. Plus, how beautiful is the ombre-style packaging? Given that vanilla scented products are having a real moment right now, we have a feeling she’ll be over the moon with this small token of your appreciation.
LUSH gift set
This would make a thoughtful gift for anyone who deserves a bit of pampering; a snuggly scented shower gel paired with a mini body lotion which makes for the perfect nighttime self-care routine. The gel gives off waves of ylang ylang while the lotion is packed with rose and vanilla, all packaged in a beautiful gift box; no wrapping required!
Beards & Daisies house plant
Advert
Even though it’s always nice to be given a bouquet of beautiful blooms, they only last for so long before they ultimately need to be thrown away. Whereas a potted plant is something they can enjoy for years to come. Even if they’re not particularly green-fingered, this rubber plant – also known as a ficus elastica robusta – is one of the easiest to care for and only needs watering every so often, when the soil starts to dry out. Place it in a bright room away from direct sunlight and it will soon start to grow and fill the space. You can even add an accompanying elho pot to make the gift even more special.
House of Mahogany candle set
With scents including Morning Dew, Hurst Forest, Beyond The Hills and a limited edition Agarwood Musk, this House of Mahogany candle set will surely go down a treat with anyone who likes their home to smell delicious (and let's face it, who doesn't?). Focusing on nature-inspired aromas, each candle is hand-poured in small batches and made from natural, non-toxic soy wax for a longer, cleaner burn with no harmful chemicals, and they’re perfect for adding a cosy ambience to her bedroom, living room or entryway.

Advert
Nothing hits quite like a spot of self-care, and Clarins is currently offering a whopping 10% off when you spend more than £100 on skincare at London’s The O2 (until 17 March). Clarins aside, it’s the perfect spot to treat your mum to a fun day of shopping and dining. You'll find a great selection of popular brands like Le Creuset, Calvin Klein and French Connection, with plenty of stylish pieces at discounted prices. When it's time to refuel, the dining options won’t disappoint. You can relax with a delicious burger at Gourmet Burger Kitchen, or enjoy a cocktail at Gaucho; just what you need after a busy day of shopping.
Powerbeats Pro 2
Whether your mum likes to tune in to her favourite playlists while out for a walk or at the gym, or maybe she’s always got an audiobook on the go, the new Powerbeats Pro 2 will allow her to do so in style. Available in classic black, a creamy off-white and a pretty lilac (that we personally can’t get enough of), not only do the wireless in-ear buds provide up to ten hours of playback per charge, but they’re sweat and waterproof and have a number of smart features too. From heart-rate monitoring sensors, which can be linked to her favourite fitness app in real time, to adaptive EQ technology which scans each individual ear shape to optimise the listening experience, these are such a great investment.
Josh Wood gift card
For a mum who deserves to be spoilt, why not book them in for a little hair TLC. Colourist to the stars Josh Wood has a collection of boutique salons where she’s guaranteed to get the star treatment, with a range of services to choose from (whether she's after a gloss, tint or full balayage, the team are truly the best in the business), and his products can be found in stores up and down the country (his Root Smudges have gained cult status). With a choice of gift cards, you can opt for some credit to be used either on a treatment or on their online products.

If she’s been looking to try a new wine, this Codorníu rosé wine is the one to go for. Both vegetarian and vegan-friendly, it has a sweet but fresh taste to it, which rosé lovers and casual drinkers alike will no doubt appreciate. With subtle aromas of ripe red fruit and citrus notes, it’s ideal for pairing with vegetable, white meat and rice dishes, as well as fish and mild cheeses. And it’s currently just £10 a bottle.

Art Pass
This one makes a truly thoughtful Mother's Day gift for mums who appreciate a bit of culture. Offering access to over 200 museums, galleries, and historic places across the UK, it’s the gift that keeps on giving, allowing them to explore new exhibitions, discover hidden gems, and enjoy countless days out.

The Ivy gift card
It doesn’t get much better than a slap-up meal, and where better to celebrate than The Ivy Restaurants with their stunning décor and mouth-watering menu.

And with restaurants up and down the country, it’s a great way show her just how much she’s appreciated.
Aperol aperitivo drink
Spring is here and sunny days are inching closer, so what better way to help her usher in the new season than a bottle of Aperol, the cult drink that’s become synonymous with summer.

So whichever one you go for, it really is the gift that keeps on giving.

This crisp, refreshing white wine from Chile’s renowned vineyards offers zesty citrus, tropical fruit flavors, and a smooth finish—perfect for casual sipping or pairing with food. At £9 per bottle, it’s an affordable but thoughtful choice for wine lovers and casual drinkers alike.
Stanley Quencher
The viral Quencher has been reimagined with a Mother’s Day twist! This stylish and durable tumbler that you’ve seen all over TikTok has been reinvented in a pretty pink-and-white floral design. Not just nice to look at, it’s also super practical, designed to keep drinks at the perfect temperature for hours, whether that’s a refreshing iced coffee or soothing herbal tea.
Chapel Down sparkling rosé

You’ll really make her Mother’s Day morning by treating her little one to some new clothes from Boots’ great baby clothing range. Designed in collaboration with broadcaster and mother of two, Mollie King, her Maybe Baby collection has a great mixture of unisex and mix-and-match items for newborns all the way up to toddlers and older children. Everything is just so adorable, and at a really affordable price point, too. We’ve featured some of our favourite picks in the past, but there are lots of lovely prints, patterns and designs to choose from.
Tommee Tippee steriliser and dryer
Make day-to-day life that bit easier for mums with little ones with this UV steriliser from Tommee Tippee. It takes so much of the hassle out of sterilising, drying and storing bottles. And given how many they can go through in the course of a day or over a particularly sleepless evening, this will seriously streamline the process. In fact, it can sterilise six bottles – while killing viruses and 99.9% of harmful bacteria – in a little over half an hour. And there’s no need to boil water, use steam or risk waking anyone up with any noise.
DockATot body pillow
Mums also rave about this DockATot body pillow, a brilliant option if you’re looking to match your existing decor or add a pop of colour or pattern to your bedroom. Whether you’re shopping for your pregnant other half, a new mum or someone who could do with a bit of extra support after a long day running around after the kids, this is such a great buy. We also adore the tassel detailing and handy carry handle to make moving it from room quick and easy.
Mamas & Papas pushchair
A super-stylish stroller with a focus on versatility, the newly-launched Vardo is the perfect gift for new mums wanting to stroll in style. Suitable for city life and country terrain alike, its slick and stylish design boasts an impressive range of fittings and add-ons, meaning it can accommodate everyone from newborns to bouncing toddlers. We recommend starting them off with a carrycot attachment and pairing with the travel system to make getting around a breeze, whatever their needs.
Elvie breast pump
The leading women's tech brand has recently launched its newest model, the Stride 2 - a hospital-grade, hands-free marvel designed to make pumping easier than ever. Its ultra-quiet motor with noise reduction technology means mums can express discreetly wherever they are, while the pump compact enough to be worn underneath clothing; and the soft silicone cups are super-comfy for optimised milk output. Allowing mums to go hands-free too, it's no surprise this is one of the most hyped products on the market.
Bamboo Clothing sweatpants
Whether they're recovering postpartum, or easing themselves back into some gentle exercise, these are some of the comfiest sweatpants around. Designed for the yoga studio, they're also perfect for everyday lounging thanks to their fleecey 'brushed sweat' material and thick, high waistband. Available in a choice of colours and with a stylish flared fit, they look as good as they feel.
