19 Mother's Day Gift Ideas

March 01, 2023

Mums are amazing. They look after us 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, year after year - they even check up on us after we’ve moved out of the house! With such a tough job they deserve something special at least once a year. But with the cost of living crisis tightening all of our budgets, how do we treat our mums to something nice without breaking the bank?

That’s where our guide comes in. We have lots of wonderful gift ideas across our garden, kitchen, home and fitness categories to give a helping hand to make Mother’s Day extra special. You can spend less while spending more time with her. Whatever your mum loves, tailor the day around her and make memories together in the process.

For the Foodie Mums

Does your mum love spending time cooking up a storm or baking delicious treats? A baking day will be lots of fun for you both. Make something delicious together with this Salter 1200W Stand Mixer which features 6 speeds, a 5L stainless steel bowl and a removable splash guard to help ensure baking success. If she’s new to baking, this Tala Bake and Decorate Set includes everything she needs to become a star baker - aided by you of course. Find everything she’ll love and more from our kitchen range, including affordable quality essentials like knife block sets and pans if cooking is more her thing.

For the Green-Fingered Mums

Nurturing is second nature to mums, so tending some plants may be right up her street! This stunning Hydrangea 'Incrediball' for example, is ready for you both to either plant straight into her garden or simply care for since it comes in a 3L plant pot. We’ve also got heaps of pots, planters and garden tools, including this stylish Draper 4-Piece Floral Garden Tool Set so you can help her plant her favourite flowers which she can then watch grow.

And for the perfect finishing touch to any garden setup, get mum this beautiful Robert Dyas FSC 3-seater garden bench. There’s no better spot to have a cup of tea together, read a book or catch up on what’s new.

If you can’t spend time with your gardening-loving mum because she’s not local, or if your budget is tight this year, a pack of her favourite seeds in a card is a lovely way to show her you care.

For Active Mums

Is your Mum always on the go? Does she live a healthy lifestyle and value the importance of fitness? If she loves keeping fit, accompany her on a workout and spur her on with the help of the Aquarius AQ125HR Fitness Tracker - available in three gorgeous colours - or engage in some relaxing yoga together with a mat each. You’ll both feel better for it and get to spend some quality time together this Mother’s Day.

We’ve got an amazing line of fitness equipment that would put a smile on any active mum’s face. Whether she likes to lift weights, count her steps or practice yoga, we’re sure you’ll find something to help her achieve her fitness goals.

For Mums Who Love a Cuppa

Most mums love a cuppa so whether she prefers tea or coffee make sure she’s got the proper kit. Upgrade her kettle with one of the models in our impressive range, or treat her to a beautiful tea pot like this one from Sweet Bee. It even comes with matching mugs and a sugar bowl if you want to splurge.

If she’s a coffee lover, there’s no better treat than a quality machine to make barista-style drinks at home. The Salter EK3131 Espressimo Machine makes a wonderfully smooth espresso that will remind her of sitting in her favourite coffee shop. If she’s adventurous or prefers plant-based milks with her brew, the Salter EK5258 Plant Milk Maker would make an equally lovely addition to her kitchen.
