Take the opportunity to spoil her with a few clothing accessories to give her wardrobe a little boost. You don’t have to break the bank showing her just how thankful you are for everything she does. With women’s scarves available for under $10, they’re an ideal gift for Mums with a sense of modern style. Another option could be getting some new dress for the "restaurant dinner" that you and your dad have made.

If your Mum or Mother-in-Law likes to explore the great outdoors, why not spend some time doing what she enjoys and plan an outdoor adventure together this Mother’s Day. If you’re trying to win the award for best son or daughter, why not go the extra mile and gift her something new for all of her adventures. A new pair of women’s walking boots are sure to go down an absolute treat. Or a practical zip-off walking trousers. With the ever-changing weather in the countryside, the trousers would be ideal for a camping fanatic or occasional hiker.

When I asked our team about their favorite Mother’s Day gifts, everyone raved about presents with a personal touch, which I also love. Creating a handmade item she'll treasure for years is more meaningful than buying an expensive necklace she'll wear once. Mother’s Day is May 9th, so you still have plenty of time to create a handmade gift that shows the mother in your life just how much you and your family love her! 

Gently suggest your mum looks after herself more often and treat her to some pampering accessories. Ease her daily stress and worries by getting her some scented candles. She can light it up to find some peace and focus – a great way to recharge her batteries after a long day. With a refreshing summer breeze scent, you can also add a thoughtful or funny picture to make a really memorable gift. Or maybe Bath bombs, soap flowers, scented diffuser, and manicure set. Or if you’re feeling really generous, why not splash out on a spa day experience for two with afternoon tea.

If you love your mum’s traditional and creative recipes, tell her how thankful you are for her cooking talents with some cooking related gift. Some top-rated cookbook. Tie a pretty ribbon around a bread boards  or add some of your favorite breads and cheeses.  

A cute apron can go a long way. And then you can prepare a favorite family recipe with her. Even better: Enlist the kids to help, too, so they can see, live in action, how grandma crimps the dough or ices the cake. 

If your mother is living with you, breakfast in bed is always a classic and appreciated. Something simple is fine for this, such as toast or a croissant with jam or fruit and a cup of coffee or tea. Or, if she’s not fond of eating in bed, how about preparing a sit-down brunch? Or, bake a cake! Traditionally, children in England always baked a cake for their Mother’s Day.

Record a video from all of the children. They can each say “Happy Mother’s Day” and why they appreciate her. Or, make a tape or a music playlist. You could gather calming songs for bedtime, such as the sound of the seas. Or, you could gather her very favorite songs from the era that she loves most. How about a beautiful photo frame with your family photo inside. 

Don’t forget to send a card in advance! In our home, it’s a tradition to make a homemade card every year. Wondering what to write in the card? How about sharing a funny story or happy memory of you and your mom? It will make her smile!
