Mothers are constantly putting others before themselves, and Mother’s Day is the perfect time of year to express your appreciation for this. With the special celebration just around the corner, it can be difficult to think of the perfect gesture to show your mum how much you love her.

As most mothers will greatly appreciate a thoughtful gift over an expensive one, here are five simple yet unique presents you can surprise her with this spring:

Music

It goes without saying that everyone loves music! You can give someone a sentimental and thoughtful gift by utilising the importance of sensory experiences. If your mum has a record player, consider buying her one or two vinyl records.

This gift is a special way to show someone that you care, as it’s easy to personalise to what they love most. Make sure to pick a record that has significance to your relationship and the memories that you share together.

Hamper

A great D-I-Y Mother’s Day gift is to compose a bespoke hamper. You can gather all your mum’s favourite edible goodies and arrange them in an aesthetically pleasing way.

This is a great alternative to taking her out for an expensive meal, as not only will a hamper you save money, but it also showcases how well you know her by picking out all of her beloved things.

Pamper Bag

Just like a hamper, you can easily create the perfect gift bag at home. We’d actually recommend doing this yourself rather than buying a premade gift bag, as this level of personalisation is far more emotionally considerate.

Collect some lovely pamper items, such as candles, bath foam or skincare, and use a gift bag to present them to your mum. This will allow her to have a lovely, relaxing evening as you have truly spoiled her.

Journal or Diary

Gift your mum a beautiful journal or diary for Mother’s Day so she can stay organised. Journals and diaries are a great creative vessel, and there will be plenty of options online or in your local papercraft shop.

We also recommend writing a special note or poem on one of the pages, as this gives you the opportunity to communicate your deep appreciation for her.

Framed Photo

Simply pick out a special photo of the two of you together and have it professionally printed. If you have a higher budget, you could even purchase a digital photo frame in order to display a range of your memories.  

However, a thoughtful picture that will stimulate a happy reminiscence for you both is just as good! Especially if you personalise the frame with some crafty decorations such as stickers or flowers.

So, how will you surprise your mum this Mother’s Day?
