Mother's Day is just around the corner. Which means it's time to think how you could show your mum (or your wife, if she's a mum) how much you love and appreciate her. Of course, hugs, kisses, 'I love you's' and dinners out are ALWAYS appreciated, but it wouldn't hurt to gift mum something nice on this special day.

With the generosity of some amazing brands, I've put together this extensive list of gift items and ideas – from jewellery and beauty (always a winner) to personalised items (for that special touch) to lovely home fragrances and even a personalised cake! There really is something for every mum in here…

PS: And if you're mum reading this, just leave this page open on your computer/ phone and let your children/ other half 'happen' to chance upon it. Happy Mother's Day!

 


Jewellery

Show mum she's appreciated and loved with an elegant piece of jewellery. Kaya Jewellery have recently launched their UK web store where you can choose from a range of personalised bracelets, necklaces and pendants. Each piece of jewellery is hand-graved in London, creating a treasured gift.

Repair, Moisturise, Nourish: Everyday hand creams (Seams Hand Cream and Suu Balm)

SEAMS Hand Cream

Comprising shea butter, macadamia oil and fragonia oil, the SEAMS Hand Cream cream is the ultimate in soothing and moisturising dry "hard-working" hands. And who works harder than a mother? Despite containing indulgent oils, it leaves no oily residue – just a sweet-smelling lingering scent and soft-to-touch hands.

(£14 for a 75 ml tube)

 

Suu Balm

Suu Balm is a healing, moisturising and beautifying balm that sits on my bedside table through the winter months. If, like me, your hands tend to get very dry during winter, then this is the perfect gift.

This itch relief moisturiser, specially developed for dry, itchy or eczema prone skin, works in less than 5 minutes. The cool menthol relieves itchy skin while the ceramides help moisturise and repair dry and damaged skin. Other plus points: it's steroid and paraben-free and vegan friendly.

(£14.99 for a 75 ml tube)

Nourishing Oils

INFINatura Cura Oil for skin, hair and well-being

I call this the 'wonder oil' because it really does everything! The luxurious INFINatura Cura Oil is 100% natural and contains a blend of eight oils (Camellia, Argan, Red Mandarin, Bergamot, Sunflower, Crambe Abyssinica and Geranium along with Vitamin E). It's a magic potion for pregnant mums-to-be, new mums and mums who just want to get that radiance back.

It has multi-purpose uses and treats stretch-marks, wrinkles, dry skin and even acne-prone skin. The natural oils are great for skin, nails and hair.

(£34.99 for a 100 ml bottle)

Arnicare Bath and Massage Balm

Nelsons Arnicare bath and massage balm is a luxurious dual-purpose balm, perfect for massaging or pouring into a bath to help mums relax and unwind after a hectic day. The natural properties of Arnica Montana extract coupled with the sweet scents of Lavender and Grapefruit essential oils are ideal for calming senses. It’s also enriched with Evening Primrose and Sweet Almond oil making it the perfect pampering treat.

(£8.55 for a 200 ml bottle)

Lips

Cherokee Rose Lip Balm

This super nourishing lip balm will not only hydrate and soothe dry and cracked lips, it will also help to stimulate your brain! Because it is enriched with Rosemary Oil (a brain clarifier), Peppermint Oil (helps to boost memory) and Yarrow Oil (helps relieve tension). Now this we tired mums definitely need!!!

(£5.50 for 30 ml)

Hair

Phil Smith Hair Care Trio 

Glam up this Mother's Day with award-winning haircare brand Phil Smith Be Gorgeous. Created by celebrity hairstylist Phil Smith, the Total Treat range contains Moroccan Argan Oil which nourishes, protects and leaves you with gorgeous scented locks. Ideal for dry/ damaged hair.

For an extra luxurious look, indulge in the Total Treat Argan Oil Cream treatment that miraculously transforms your hair into lustrous silky locks. It helps lock in moisture to heal dry, damaged hair and restore smoothness. Gloss and gorgeousness will be yours!

Then add the final touch with the Glam Shine Glossing Serum that adds intense shine. Just a couple of drops will transform frazzled hair into groomed, glossy perfection – so much better than the unwashed mombun!

The range is exclusive to Sainsbury’s stores nationwide and are also certified Cruelty Free.

Cambridge Retro Daisy Travel Mug

Mums love their tea/coffee, even when on the run. In fact, that's when they need it the most – rushing from school pick-up to piano class to swim class to playdate. That's where this reusable Cambridge Retro Daisy Travel Mug will come handy.

Made from bamboo and silicone, it's 100 per cent biodegradable and eco-friendly. It's also super practical – lightweight (mums almost always have a baby or a baby/ toddler product in their hands), with a heat-resistant silicone lid and safety heat sleeve and bonus, it's dishwasher-safe too!

The bright colours and retro design are sure to liven up any mum's day!

(£3.99)

 

Itty Bittys

Hallmark has a lovely selection of Mother's day gifts and cards too – head over to their site too see all that's in store. However, if you're looking to gift mum something that's very different and utterly cute, these Itty Bittys are perfect, and are sure to bring a smile to mum's face!

From Disney to Star Wars to The Flintstones and even Peanuts, there are a number of ranges to select from. Or, you could just gift mum a Wonder Woman or Supergirl Itty Bitty to show her what you really think of her! After all, aren't all us mums Wonder Women and Supergirls?!

(£6-£7.99)

Disclosure: I was gifted some of the products to review; however, as always, all opinions are entirely my own.

    Blimey Aleena how long did this take to put together?! I love that wooden stationery holder and am seriously tempted as we're in the process of redecorating/refurnishing our lounge and putting in a workspace for me but that price tag… Time to start dropping hints methinks! #coolmumclub

    My husband was talking to our daughter (aged 9weeks) saying “what do you want to get mummy for Mother’s Day?” And I realised I didn’t know what I wanted! This has given some inspiration. I love a mug and have started collecting Disney ones so maybe that might be a good gift for me! Smellies are a little lost on me because I don’t end up using them all. #blogstravaganza
