Gifts for Mum: What to get for Mothers Day 2025

How do you show appreciation to your mum? A big bunch of flowers, a special day out, a thoughtful gift or cooking her favourite meal?

This year Mother's Day in the UK is on Sunday 30th of March.  It is an ideal opportunity to really show all the mums in your life how much you appreciate them by doing something special that shows you are thinking of them.

Here are our top 10 best ideas to show your mum how much you care this Mother's Day:

1. Something Really Cheesy: And no we don't mean a novelty mug or a pair of socks with your face on them. We mean the gouda stuff, something brie-illiant that'll make her feel like the big cheese. Ok we will stop now! But a nice cheese hamper is something she'll definitely enjoy! Check out all our Cheese & Deli Hampers here.
2. Spa Day: Treat your mum to a luxurious spa day, complete with massages, facials, and relaxation treatments. It's the perfect way for her to unwind and pamper herself. If you are down in Cornwall then we recommend St Michaels Spa in Falmouth or The Headland Spa in Newquay.
3. Cooking Her Dinner: If your mum enjoys food considering cooking her a delicious meal to thank her for all her love and care. You can get fantastic fresh ingredients delivered to your door from The Cornish Food Box Company from fresh seafood to delicious grass fed steaks, and locally grown veggies.
4. Something for the Garden: Bring a touch of greenery into your mum's home with something lovely for garden that will bring her joy year round. Trevena Garden Centre has a great selection of plants or The Duchy of Cornwall Nursery has some fabulous magnolias amongst other plants.
5. Subscription Box: Choose a subscription box tailored to your mum's interests, whether it's gourmet food, beauty products, or books. It's a gift that keeps on giving, with new surprises arriving each month. Sign her up for a regular veg, meat or fish box if she enjoys the finer food in life.
6. Sweet Treats: Treat your mum to some truly delicious luxurious treats that she wouldn't indulge herself with.  Chocolarder produce wonderful handmade sustainable chocolate which is a truly luxurious experience. Choose from handmade truffles or one of their bars.  Da Bara Bakery make what are probably the worlds best cinnamon buns. Get a set of these buttery buns and she will be made up.....don't expect her to share through they really are too good for that¬!
7. Handmade Card: Sometimes the simplest gifts are the most meaningful. Take the time to make a special card for your mum.  You don't have to be the worlds greatest artist - it really is the thought that counts. If you are looking for some inspiration check out this guide by Hobbycraft which is full of great ideas.
8. Weekend Away: Enjoy some quality time with you mum by booking a weekend away together. Cornish Gems have a wonderful range of stylish properties available for the weekend.  From coastal properties with great sea views to centrally located stylish properties in St Ives, Fowey and Padstow there is a Cornish Gems to suit every occasion.
9. Delicious Hamper: Send your mum a delicious gift of a beautiful hamper for her to enjoy. From a traditional cream tea Mother's Day box which includes a lovely bunch of daffodils through to a Luxury Breakfast Hamper perfect for breakfast in bed there is a hamper for every mum at The Fine Food Hamper. With free UK delivery and a handwritten greetings card these are the perfect gifts to send her from wherever you are.
10. Learn something new together: Spending time doing something together is a lovely way to create memories. Why not get your hands dirty with a pottery workshop? Mary is a fantastic teacher who makes ceramics inspired by Cornwall from her workshop in Kehelland. Or learn to carve stone with Ellie in Penryn.  Much of Ellie's work focuses on the human figure.
