Delightful Mother’s Day gifts, from fashion to foodie treats
Treat your mum on her special day by giving her one of these perfect presents
It’s time to celebrate your mum and everything she does for you. Yes, Mother’s Day is coming up on Sunday 10th March.
And you know she deserves more than the crumpled card and last-minute box of chocolates you got her last year. No, she deserves the very best.
So if you’ve not come up with any inspired gift ideas yet, don’t worry – and definitely don’t lumber Mum with a limp bouquet from the nearest 24-hour garage.
Instead, show her just how much you love her and how much she’s appreciated by picking something from our list of ideal gifts.

Harvey Nichols: Tell Your Mum You Love Her Hamper
Harvey Nichols’ Own Label have curated this extra-special hamper (£175) - combining cutting-edge fashion with superb quality that Mum is sure to love. Whether she enjoys a glass of Prosecco or a cheeky Champagne Elderflower Cocktail (with St Germain liqueur) is more her style, this will definitely put some fizz in her Mother’s Day!
She can also tuck into an array of tasty treats, including buttery Emmental Straws, juicy White Chocolate Coated Strawberries, delicious Rose and Cardamom Caramels, zesty Lemon Biscuits and succulent Pimento Olives - and then she can settle into her favourite armchair and relax with a cup of fragrant Rose Pouchong tea later on in the day.
L’OCCITANE: gift sets
Natural beauty and skincare inspired by women right from their foundation, L’OCCITANE celebrate and honour women all year round - and Mother’s Day is a great time to pamper those who deserve it the most.
Choose one of their indulgent gift sets - the nourishing Shea Butter Body Care Gift (£55), with Body Shower Cream, Rich Body Lotion, and Hand Cream; the feminine floral scent of the HERBAE par L’OCCITANE Iris Pallida Fragrance Collection (£73), with Hand Cream, Eau de Toilette, and Shower Gel; or the stunning delights of the Néroli & Orchidée Fragrance Collection (£73), with Hand Cream, Eau de Toilette, and Shower Gel.
H Samuel: just jewellery
Get something she can keep forever with a beautiful piece of jewellery from H Samuel. What’s more, they are currently offering up to 50% off Mother’s Day gifts - so if she loves to make a statement, pick out something sparkly, such as a Sterling Silver Double Heart Diamond Pendant Necklace (£29), and perhaps splash out by presenting her with Stud Earrings to match (£29).
If gold is more her style, check out the nine-carat yellow gold Belcher Chain Bracelet (£89.99) or Rolo Chain Heart Anklet (£140). Or invest in a trusty timepiece, such as the elegant Armani Exchange Ladies’ Gold-Plated Steel Bracelet Watch (£145).
Accessorize: Fantastic florals
You can always rely on Accessorize for Mother’s Day gift inspiration - and what a range they have on offer this year. Your mum is bound to love the fantastic florals across their exquisite items, with gorgeous flowers on everything from a stylish wild flower print scarf (£20), colourful embroidered coin purses (£14 – and what makes it even better is the personalised initial on the front) and cute embroidered tote bags (£35).
Plus, of course, it’s nearly spring, so cast an eye over their Rome Sparkle Gold Sandals (£39) and a fabulous fan print beaded tier dress (£55) - perfect for the warmer weather.
Clarins: Double Serum
For the mum who takes pride in her youthful looks, Clarins Double Serum (£88) is a complete age control concentrate formulated to give her healthier, visibly younger looking skin. With its 21 active plant extracts – including terrific turmeric, famous for its anti-ageing properties – her skin will be left looking more radiant and firmer, with those fine lines smoothed out.
As if that’s not enough, you can enjoy a self-care gift worth 40% added value when you spend £55 or 64% added value when you spend £115 between the 7th - 10th March.
