Mother's Day Gift Inspiration

Here in the UK, it’s the time of year for celebrating all the hard work our Mothers do for us. Every year it can always be a struggle to think of new, thoughtful gift ideas for Mother’s Day. Whilst you can never go wrong with the sentimental value of anything homemade, as our lives become busier it's difficult to find the time to be creative. I have put together a few gifts that I know my own Mum would love to receive and that I hope provide you with inspiration as to what to buy this Mothering Sunday.



1.  Laura Ashley Mini Diffuser Gift Set


In my family, we all know that you can never go wrong with any presents for creating a gorgeous smelling home. My Mum loves her home to be clean, smelling fresh and inviting. That’s why I think this miniature diffuser gift set from Laura Ashley makes the perfect gift. 



You receive five divine fragrances, and I love how powerful the sent that is kicked off is. Many diffusers I have tried become  merely a decretive feature of our living room as the sent is unnoticeable. However, only four sticks are needed in one of these for a powerful, fresh fragrance. I also love the simple design of the clear glass jars, which would look gorgeous in any home.



2.  Yankee Candles


Keeping on the theme of scents, I know my Mum is a lady who loves her candles. They adorn every table, window sill and fireplace in our home and are lighted in the evenings for a relaxing atmosphere. Although tt is always a shame when you purchase a candle that smells divine in the jar, but when lighted kicks of no scent. 


That's why I love buying my Mum the Yankee Candles as gifts for any special occasion. The one here is a limited edition scent from Christmas, however the entire Yankee range not only smell divine, they kick off a powerful scent and burn for a long time.

3.  Tropic ABC Skincare


This gift is for any Mum that loves her skincare. I won’t talk about the Tropic range in too much detail as I wrote an entire review on the cleansing routine here. In this set you receive a hot cloth cleanser, a refreshing toner and a skin reviving moisturiser. 



They are all naturally indulgent as they are made from 100% plant extracts, are vegan and cruelty free. This set helps to relax and rejuvenate your skin and would make a lovely gift for any Mother this Sunday.

4.  Estee Lauder EyeShadow Trio


For any Mother that loves their makeup, this mini eye shadow palette would make a stunning addition to any collection. The gorgeous gold casing is elegant and sophisticated and tucked away inside are three beautiful shadows as well as a handy mirror. The shadows are creamy, buttery, pigmented and blend amazingly well. 



I have the shade 'Beach Metals' which I adore as it is filled with a trio of soft plum and rose toned shades. These subtle pink tones are perfect for Mother's Day and I think that they would look especially flattering on a mature skin type. 

5.  Pandora Bracelet or Charm


My final gift is one for any Mum that prefers presents with a sentimental value. My own Mum loves her Pandora bracelet and we regularly buy charms as small gifts. Each charm is accompanied with the memory of why it was bought. This is then permanently hanging from her wrist and she is reminded whenever she glances down. This is perhaps the true gift of the present and is why I would always suggest a charm or buying a bracelet for your Mum if she doesn’t already own one. 



I hope this little gift guide provides you with inspiration as to what to buy your own mum this Mothering Sunday. I would love to hear all your thoughts either in the comments below, on Twitter, Instagram or Facebook. Thanks for reading!
