Celebrating Mothers: Last minute gift guide
If you’re anything like me, you’ll leave everything until the last minute, and if your husband is anything like mine, so will he! I have put together a last minute Mothers Day gift guide to suit all budgets, and I shall be sending the link over to my husband in a not so subtle hint!!
With a range of gifts to suit all budgets, I hope that this helps to inspire those of you who are short on ideas, time and money!
1. Wentworth “With Love” jigsaw puzzle.
I love this puzzle, and I know that it would make the perfect gift for my own Mum. With 250 pieces, including pieces just to add to the challenge, puzzle is bright and beautiful with the finished result spelling out “Happy Mothers Day”. Priced at £29.95 this is a quality puzzle that can be brought out year after year, and I know that my children would love to do this with their Nanna as they grow.
Wentworth are also giving away a luxury hamper to one special Mum this Mothers Day. To enter simply share a favourite family picture that will be created into a personal photo puzzle and included in the winners hamper. Visit their Facebook page for more details!
2. Flowers.
You really can’t go wrong with flower delivery on mothers day. They can be quite pricey at this time of year with florists bumping up the prices especially for Mothers Day. After recently discovering voucherslug it was easy to find various vouchers and discounts, including this offer for Groupon. For just £15 you can receive £30 worth of vouchers for Flowers Delivery 4 U meaning that you can buy the most beautiful bouquet of flowers for half the price.
3. Botanical Cocktail Garden Kit.
The Ginalicious Gin Botanical Cocktail Garden is the perfect gift for the gin lover, cocktail enthusiast, foodie or green-fingered friend. Designed to provide the opportunity to mix & experiment with our hand blended gin infusions & botanicals bringing a twist to your classic G & T and ‘zing’ to your gin.
Immerse yourself in the botanical infused world of Gin cocktails with this fantastic kit, containing everything you need to sow, grow & mix. This is the perfect gift for the gin lover, cocktail enthusiast, foodie or green fingered friend. At £16.95 I know countless Mums who would love to unwrap this on Sunday!!
4. Mr Nutcase personalised mug.
When all else fails, you just know that a personalised mug is always going to go down well. I have bought my parents countless mugs over the years, adorned with my children’s faces, so that every time they sit down to have a brew they can see one of their mugs, *groan*, looking back at them. Prices start at just £4.95.
5. Solid ash wood bath bar.
Gaz – take note!! I would love one of these solid ash wood bath bars, perfectly designed to make bath time the ultimate luxury! With special cut outs to hold your wine glass, mobile phone or tablet, they bring a touch of glamour to every bath time! Priced at £35, this reflects the quality and workmanship that goes into every bath bar, and each bar can be personally engraved with a special message for your loved one.
6. The Dear Mum – From You to Me Book.
As a blogger, I am a huge fan of these books. The book is made up of questions for your mum to answer, reflecting on her life so far, her memories, feelings, likes and dislikes. When she has completed the book she can then give it back to you! With 128 pages the book asks questions about their childhood, how they met your Dad, their happiest memories, greatest achievements and many more questions which can be cherished forever. In a way my blog takes the place of a book like this, a running commentary of our lives so far, giving my children so many memories to look back on. But for me, given that my Mum does not blog, I would love a book like this to treasure in years to come. RRP £11.95.
7. Personalised retro sweet jar.
Who doesn’t like sweets? And retro sweets are by far my favourite, reminding me of my childhood whilst giving me a much needed sugar rush to get through the day! These retro sweet jars start from £14.99 and there is a whole range of options to make sure that your gift is personal for your Mum.
8. Rooi luxury leather bound notebook.
I love stationery and nothing beats the smell of a brand new notebook. I have been lusting after these luxury leather bound notebooks from Rooi, especially this beautiful Memory design to record all of our finest moments. With 256 pages, all featuring a dot grid design to sketch and write on, the bloggers amongst us will especially appreciate a good quality notebook when we see it!
9. Fresh Cut Roses Yankee Candle.
I am a huge fan of Yankee candles and find they are a fail proof gift when it comes to Mums and Grandparents. I love this Fresh Cut Roses scented large candle, at the special discounted price of £19.19.
So there you have it, my Mothers Day gift guide, I hope that those of you looking for inspiration were able to find it!
Happy Mothers Day to all of you!
Yup, totally the same. Haven’t got anything sorted for Sunday, although have thought about it. The nearest I got was to check out cards and be disappointed that there was nothing suitable. Thank you for the ideas, you’ve at least got my brain working on ideas again. Really must do something about it!
I brought the Dear Mum book for my mum last year as I really want to have all the memories from her to keep forever. You’ve reminded me I need to see if she has filled it in!!!! I’m sending this to my hubby as he is Mr last minute dot com and I would love to receive some retro sweets and flowers, I will hint at these. X
They are lovely aren’t they? If only our mums had wrote a blog!! I’m happy with a bunch of daffodils and a home made card, as long as I get a lie in!! xx
A fab selection of gift ideas. I love seeing what ideas others come up with. I can be last minute when it comes to buying for my mum as she is hard to buy for.
Thank you! I still haven’t bought for my mum! x
These are great! Have saved some of them…reminded me I haven’t got my Mum anything yet oops : )
Haha nor me! Oops! xx
A lovely and thoughtful gift list I love the book I hope to get one in time for my mother x
The books are fab, it’s a same our Mums didn’t have a blog! xx
Oh I haven’t got my Mama anything yet but I may go with a Yankee candle – they smell so good!! I have asked for a sleep in and pancakes for breakfast!
Haha me too, although lewis has a football match on Sunday morning so that’s not going to happen! Maybe I can have one on Saturday instead! xx
Ahh this is a brilliant gift suggestion – LOVE the idea of the Mum questions book. I think I bought one for my Mum a while ago but have never gotten around to giving it to her! Silly me. Maybe I’ll dig it out for this Sunday!
Haha yes, wrap it up and that’s a job done! xx
I am always last minute when it comes to gifts but I like the sound of the cocktail kit that would be something that would be perfect
Me too! And who doesn’t love a cocktail kit?! xx
Some great ideas there! I love the bath bar but I’m worried if I get that, I will want it myself!! You also cant beat a good selection of retro sweets or a yankee candle! 🙂

I have asked for a Yankee candle, whether I get one or not is another matter
