I know it might be a bit more of an unusual one this year, but it’s still important to celebrate and make your mum feel special this mother’s day. Here are lots of lovely gift ideas to make her day extra special!
Give your Mum Flowers
You know that us mums love flowers and flowers are traditional at Mother’s Day. Have a look at the York Florists, Dutch Nurseries for fabulous floral arrangements. They deliver locally in York as well as nationally.
Mary Berry Signature Range
Mary Berry has brought out a range of beautifully elegant and stylish crockery and kitchenware from a full dinner service through to lovely serving platters and table linens. I love white crockery, and love the subtle detailing on this. Alongside the signature range she also has a gorgeous traditional English Garden range that’s worth checking out too! Pieces start from £4.95.
NORDIC WARE SWEETHEART WAFFLE PAN
I adore this waffle maker. I love cast iron products and this one creates the most adorable waffles that anyone would love to eat! Very instagrammable!

Walking Shoes from Tog24
Tog24 has a fabulous range of outdoor wear for women, men and children. I love these turquoise walking shoes from Hi-Tec, absolutely perfect if you have a busy mum on the go all the time like I am! The blurb says “These lightweight waterproof multi-sport trainers for women are ideal for a range of outdoor activities including walking, leisurely bike rides, climbing and tree-top rope fun.” I like the sound of treetop fun, but am a bit more of a scaredy cat than that!
Cranes Cranberry Gin
Ooh, I think most mothers would be very pleased to get this on Mother’s Day! Cranes say, “We handcraft our smooth and fruity, yet delightfully sharp gin using high quality premium cranberries. Only natural ingredients are used throughout creation, meaning our gin is vegan and gluten-free. A bottle of Cranes Gin is the perfect gift for your Mum this Mother’s Day!”
Lyme Bay Winery
Who doesn’t like a lovely glass of fizz – and this sparkling rosé from Lyme Bay Winery is a bit special! A fine example of English sparkling rosé made from pinot noir grapes. This vibrant pink fizz boasts a bright, fruit driven palate with a richness of honey and hints of brioche.

Juice
I love these, and am constantly being asked for a charger, so this would make a perfect present to make my life easier! The Super Juice Super-Fast Wall Charger (with rubber grip for ease of pulling out of the socket!). Instead of waiting 2 hours to charge a mobile to 75% with a standard charger, the Super Juice charger will do it in 45 minutes. And also the 12345 Power bank range – each one is numbered and the number on the power bank indicates how many charges you get from the power bank. Ideal for festivals and travel!
Guava & Gold bath and Body Range
I love the packaging and scent of the Guava and Gold range! “Inspired by beach holidays in tropical locations such as the Caribbean and Indian Ocean, Guava &

I love popcorn and this popcorn is extra special! North London-based, award-winning family of popcorn makers, Joe & Seph’s have some lovely treats for Mother’s Day (think Strawberry & Champagne Sauce drizzled over warm sponge…). Or what about Gin and Tonic Caramel Sauce?

For any mums that enjoy unwinding in a hot bath or a bit of pampering at the end of a hard day, this is a great gift.

We love anything crafty in this house and do lots of arts, crafts and sewing. I am interested to have a play with this set. Hold the chocolates and forget the flowers – here’s a little something that any creative mum is going to LOVE. From the makers of Sugru mouldable glue, this handy Create & Craft Kit has been designed to delight and inspire both seasoned crafters and first time dabblers.
