Make your mother’s day: 10 gift ideas for Mothering Sunday

This year, Mothers’ Day is Sunday 15th March, and it’s a great opportunity to show some appreciation. We’ve put together our top ten picks of bright, spring inspired home gifts to make this year an extra-special occasion.

1. Flourish floral bunting, Gisela Graham

This pretty, pastel, fabric bunting with its design of pink and white flowers would make a lovely gift in its own right, or you could invite your mother over for a traditional afternoon tea and use it to decorate the room for a bright, fresh feel. £12, available from The Contemporary Home.

2. Personalised Mothers’ Day card, Honey Tree Bespoke

This bespoke card is top quality, and can be personalised with your own message. There are hundreds of designs to choose from, from traditional floral cards to more contemporary designs. Prices start at £3.90 from Honey Tree Bespoke.

3. Glass bottle vase, Live Laugh Love

A pretty glass bottle decorated with a metal rose, ribbons and pearls, this is the perfect way to decorate a breakfast or tea tray. Alternatively, fill it with pink roses or wildflowers for a lovely present. Available from Live Laugh Love, priced at £3.95.

4. Pink and green mix beady heart, Karenza and Co

A delicate bead heart featuring a selection of pretty beads interspersed with flower beads, this would make a lovely gift and would look pretty hanging on a door handle or in a window. £3.95 from Karenza and Co.

5. Grow your own sweet pea, Julie Dodsworth

This charming ceramic pot features a floral design by Julie Dodsworth and contains all you need to grow your own sweet pea, including peat free, soil association compost and  high quality seeds. Ideal for windowsills. £6.99, from The Oak Room.

6. Personalised tea cosy, Sarah Blair

While a tea cosy might not seem the most exciting present in the world, this one’s a bit different. It’s personalised with your own message picked out in freehand machine stitching, and as each one is handmade the fabric, ribbons and buttons will vary. £29.95 from Swanky Maison.

7. Personalised calendar, Getting Personal

For a unique gift, the ‘Our Family’ calendar is made entirely to your specifications. Just type in the names of the family members and the design team at Getting Personal will spell them out in 13 unique images, one for every month plus a front cover. This would make a great gift for posting, if you can’t be together on Mothers’ Day. Prices start at £14.99.
