Since my mother has been on her own and all of us siblings have long flown from the nest she has become quite a traveller. The Wanderlust travel set would be a very appropriate gift for her – if she’s not away travelling on Mother’s Day.
👍
There’s an all black version as well as the colour shown.
I’ve forwarded this to both my sons. Since they’ve left home they’ve both been terrible at remembering Mother’s Day. I’d like to think that jogging their memories might avoid an international incident.
Thanks, Steve! Good thinking!!
Keep it simple and stick with what works are my mottos.
I’ll be going for the Mother’s Choice flowers from Blooming Haus.
You can certainly never go wrong with flowers, Sarah! Or at least good quality flowers!! You’ll be assured those with Blooming Haus, I’m sure. Check out their reviews on TrustSpot: https://trustspot.io/store/Blooming-Haus
That cashmere hoodie could have been designed for my mother. It’s exactly the sort of thing she likes.
Paul – a vote of thanks from all mothers everywhere for this list. It should really up the quality of presents that we mums get. Even if we mouth the words “It’s the thought that counts.”
We’re talking the honours list here for Paul if he can get us mums some decent present.
Thanks, Steph and Rose! Hope you have a lovely Mother’s Day when it comes!!
It seems that my mother can never have enough candles. The Hotel Lobby candles would do nicely for her.
They also do a Miami (bergamot, green citrus, white petals, cedar, patchouli, exotic amber, lily, rose) and New York (amber, sweet sage, cedar leaf, patchouli) candle, if you want to travel the world through candle scents!
My mother’s shown me the diaries she kept writing up her gap year travels. Now that my brother and I are out of our parents’ hair they plan to start travelling again. If I got her that Avocado and Spice notebook it might encourage to go back to writing up her travels.
They do some lovely notebooks, Kate… not just the blue whale one. Have a browse of their site.
Big call. Ten or Dior? No, I can’t afford both, I’m not made of money.
I’m guessing you mean REN … 🙂 How about one for birthday and one for Mother’s Day? 😉
This feature is a real life saver. As our daughter works in Frankfurt and our son in Singapore nothing is ever going to replace them being home for a Mother’s Day hug.
Through the wonders of the internet I’ve sent them this post and at least they’ll be able to pick a really nice present and get it delivered on time.
Thank you for sharing it, Tom!
Gives those of us on this side of the pond plenty of time to plan for our Mother’s Day.
Hi Dave – we will do! You still have a bit of time yet as it’s not until 14th May this year in the US & Canada.
That World Traveller hat would make an ideal present. It might be too pricey for my children’s pocket money and I think it will have to be a present to me from myself.
Great idea, Jess!
I’m glad I saw the headline and read on. Is Mother’s Day a lot earlier this year? I could easily have missed it.
My mum’s birthday is 29th March and it’s sort of difficult when it falls in the same week as Mother’s Day. Which is what makes me think that the celebration is very early this year.
Actually, it’s about normal. Mother’s Day in the UK is held on the 4th Sunday of the Lent season, which is 3 weeks before Easter. Easter falls on a Sunday between 22nd March and 25th April, and is on the 9th April this year, so about bang in the middle.
I hope my kids see this and get some ideas about luxury. There’s only so many bunches of daffodils that a mum can take.
Fingers crossed for you, Fiona… I’m sure daffodils will go down well also. Blooming Haus do some amazing daffs, by the way!
That backpack really does match everything that my Mum would want from a state-of-the-art backpack.
I must say, it really has been well thought through and cleverly designed.
For my birthday and at Xmas my mother is so good at choosing presents that I don’t even know that I need. And I’m rubbish at choosing presents for her.
Inspired by everything here, for once I should be able to get her something that she really likes.
I do hope so, Abbie!!
The East / West mini bag is really stylish. Ideal for a stylish mum.
👜👍😃
To be honest I can’t see my 82 year old mother having many uses for the mobile router. For me, it’s another case. It would be invaluable.
Hi Jeff – We dry to have a diverse selection of items in our gift guides so hopefully there is always something for everyone.
Some very glamorous young “mums” modelling in these pictures. I’d like to think that some of us older mothers could also look good in these garments.
Age is just a number… style has no expiry date, Janet!
Molton Brown is my mother’s favourite brand. It’s a case of job done.
Glad that’s you sorted, Dave!
My mother needs several of those Apple tags. She loses everything.
It’s amazing the number of uses of airtags – I’ve heard them being used on everything from pets and children to luggage and vehicles. They’ve even been used in the mail to expose secret government organisations!
5 days and counting. Time for me to get my act together. Loads of great ideas here.
There’s still time, Rory… still time!
These gift guides are life-savers. The Christmas “for her” got me out of a lot of trouble. I expect I’ll need the Father’s Day one in June too.
Glad they’re useful, Brett!! We will of course be doing one for Father’s Day, too.
