Looking for a Mother’s Day gift with a difference?
So, ahead of the big day (Sunday 31 March), Team GP has come up with some ideas that will truly show your mum just how much you appreciate her.
Get personal
Personalised gifts show you’ve really put some thought into it and are great if you’re able to plan ahead (remember, it can take a little longer for sellers to add the personalisation, so this is one to start sorting now!!). Here’s some suggestions guaranteed to raise a smile – some might even bring on a few happy tears…
For the camera shy
If your family is anything like the GP family, getting everybody sat down in front of a camera is impossible. So, if you’re scrambling around for a family portrait and can’t find one, why not make your own version?
Posterhaste’s personalised prints start from just £20. You can select each family member's stick figure outline and personalise their clothing colours, expressions and hair. Try to be kind!
For those with a sweet tooth
Cake never fails to hit the spot. Instead of just nipping down to your local shop, treat your mum to a set of delicious, personalised cupcakes via Bakerdays. You choose the design, flavour and message and Bakerdays will deliver them to your (or their) door.
For the sentimental
Every now and again, it’s good to let your mum know just what it is you love about her. What better way to do this than via a ‘10 Things I Love about My Mum’ poster from Find Me a Gift. For little more than £10, you can literally spell out the reasons your mum is so bloomin’ brilliant.
For those that like a bit of sparkle
Jewellery never fails and adding your very own personalised touch to a piece is a guaranteed winner. When it comes to jewellery, it’s all down to taste, of course – and you know your mum best. But we love this gorgeous Merci Mamam intertwined necklace, which is “inspired by the love between mother and child”. Perfect.
The gift that keeps on giving
For the avid reader
If your mum loves nothing more than getting lost in a page-turning book, treat her to a subscription from The Willoughby Book Club. With a bespoke subscription, you specify the types of novels your mum likes to read, and they’ll select a range of books that she’s sure to love.
For the flower lover
For some mums, there’s nothing better than receiving a bunch of flowers. With a Freddie’s Flowers subscription, you can have gloriously fresh box of flowers delivered to your mum’s door every week. At £24 a pop, it’s not cheap – but you could always club together with a sibling for a few months’ worth of blooms?
For the happy snapper
If your mum is the type to complain that “photos aren’t the same anymore” because they’re stored on phones and not in albums, get her one of these Canon Zoemini portable photo printers. She can print as many pictures as she likes! With a GP PowerBank backing her up, she can print from anywhere, anytime.
A gift to remember
For those who love a cuppa
Who doesn’t love a cream team? The only question is: jam or cream first? You can debate that while sat in the glorious orangery at Kew Gardens, looking out onto the 326-acre UNESCO World Heritage Site. A cream team for two at Kew Gardens via Virgin Experience Days gives you an experience gift pack, including a personalised voucher and message card.
For those that are good with their hands
If mum has ever suggested she’d like to try her hand at a bit of pottery, why not make that a reality? Packages like this one from Buyagift even come with afternoon tea.
For those that love to travel
Finally, if you’ve got a slightly bigger Mother’s Day budget this year, why not whisk her away on a city break – the bonus being that you get to go too! Check out our blog on alternative city breaks for some inspiration and time your visit around an event to make it extra special. Just don’t forget to pack light with these tips on what to take in your hand luggage – a travel-safe GP PowerBank should, of course, be on the list!
Let us know which gift you decided to go for and how it went down!
