18 of the best Mother's Day gifts 2025 to make mums feel special
The best Mother's Day gifts that mums won't have to pretend to love

The best Mother’s Day gifts aren't necessarily expensive - the perfect pressie reminds your mum just how much you appreciate her.
This year, Mother's Day falls on Sunday 10 March so whether you’re buying a gift for your mum, dropping hints for your kids, or reminding your partner to sort out a pressie for your mother-in-law, you've still got plenty of time to sort it.
Unlike choosing the best gifts for a new mum or shopping for the best teacher gifts, picking the perfect Mother's Day pressie is easy since most of us have a pretty good idea of what our mums love - and what they loathe. But if you're not sure what to get, play it safe by asking her what she'd most like for Mother's Day. There's no point treating her to a Mother's Day Tea Hamper, for example, if what she'd really love is a luxury spa day with you for company.
This article brings you our edit of the very best Mother’s Day gifts for 2024 that are sure to bring a smile to your mum’s face. You'll find a selection of items at a range of different prices so there's something to appeal to every kind of mums, from those who love to relax and be pampered to those who are always on the move.
Best Mother's Day gifts 2025
For mums who love a bit of mindfulness, this elegant lava stone bracelet is the perfect gift. It comes with a 10ml bottle of Time To Relax essential oil, which is a blend of ten tranquil oils. Just pop a few drops on the beads and inhale for instant calm.
Scalloped home accessories are all the rage right now, and the trend is showing no signs of slowing down. This adorable double-layered photo frame is hand-painted and made of glazed stoneware and makes a perfect place for the mum in your life to display a treasured photo. Even better, put a photo of the two of you in it before gifting it.
For a splash of colour and a present that’s as pretty as it is practical, go for this cute embroidered velvet makeup bag from Anthropologie. With “Mum” embroidered in on-trend gold, and pink floral detailing, this pouch will look great on your dressing table, and is roomy enough to store your makeup essentials.
If the mum in your life has a sweet tooth, surprise them with this generous chocolate gift bag from trusty M&S. The bag is stuffed with tasty treats such as gigantic chocolate buttons, milk chocolate teacakes and a milk chocolate popcorn slab. A gift everyone is guaranteed to be jealous of.
Give a designer look gift without the hefty price tag with this stunning Lara bowl from Anthropologie. Perfect for stylishly displaying fruits on the kitchen table, this curvy bowl is made of hand-glazed stoneware and looks far more expensive than it is.
The winter months can be incredibly drying for our skin, so give the mum in your life a skincare treat with this gift set from Clinique. For a reduced price, you’ll get a full-size Moisture Surge 100H Auto-Replenishing Hydrator moisturiser, worth over £64, as well as a 30ml Moisture Surge Overnight Mask and a 5ml All About Eyes eye cream, all packaged in a pretty wash bag.
Make mum’s bedtime a little more stylish in anticipation of the warmer summer months with this adorable shell-print pair of summer pyjamas. The drawstring waist is comfy and practical, the shell print and spotted trim look fabulous and the lightweight material is perfect for sweltering summer nights.
If the mum in your life is into health and wellness, this sleek and efficient fitness tracker is a thoughtful yet practical gift
- and great for a shared present from siblings. It tracks everything from stress and menstrual health to steps and sleep, with a five-day battery life and smartphone notifications.
Nothing says thoughtful like a personalised gift, and this beautiful charm necklace from Mercy Maman - a brand worn by the Duchess of Cambridge - is a firm favourite. Available in gold or silver, the charms can be personalised with a loving message, special dates or family names.
What's a good Mother's Day gift?
Anything that makes a mum feel special. For some mothers, that's as simple as sending her a bunch of flowers. (Make sure to ask her what her favourite flower is and find out if there are any that she's not keen on.) Other mums love thoughtful trinkets that they can treasure like an item of personalised jewellery. And some mums are all about the practicalities of life, and appreciate nothing better than a useful gift like a new purse, notebook, or make-up bag.
If you're still not sure what will make the best Mother's Day gift, you might want to consider the best flower delivery services instead. And then have a browse of 85 Mother's Day quotes and messages to write in your card.
