With Mother's Day just a mere few days away, it's probably time to start thinking about what you're going to give that motherly figure in your life. I honestly find Mother's Day one of the hardest occasions to buy for, not because my mum is difficult to buy for, but because the occasion just feels tricky. It's not supposed to be as extravagant as a birthday, Christmas or milestone day, but it's still supposed to be special, meaningful and full of thought. 

But that being said, in recent years I've still gone a little over the top when it comes to showering my mum with gifts. But this year, I'm determined to streamline it a little. 

So, if you're like me and you're looking for a few lavish presents that a) won't break the bank, and b) aren't things they won't need, won't want or won't appreciate - scroll on to discover a couple of things I'm really rating for this special day.

Belvoir Farms Personalised Bottles

RRP: £2.75 each

One of my favourite soft drinks companies, Belvoir Farm, has poured their famous Elderflower & Rose Cordial* and Lightly Sparkling Elderflower & Rose* into beautifully decorated celebration bottles with gift wrap-inspired labels. The labels are designed for us to write a personalised message to whoever we want to gift a bottle or two to. Personally, I'm gifting the sparkling bottle to my mum and the cordial to my nan, and I am so excited for them to receive them and enjoy refreshing drinks on Mothering Sunday. 

The Belvoir Farm Mother’s Day limited editions are available until the end of March 2023, with the Elderflower & Rose Cordial available to buy from Sainsbury’s, Waitrose, Ocado, Tesco, and the Lightly Sparkling Elderflower & Rose available to buy from Waitrose, Ocado, Sainsbury’s, Asda.

LUSH Mother's Day Gifting

RRP: Various prices

If you know me, you'll know I have rated LUSH very highly for YEARS. Everything about this brand honestly speaks to me on a different level - and luckily, my mum adores the brand just as much as me... if not more. Whenever a special occasion pops up and I want to buy my mum some sweet-smelling goodies, LUSH is the first brand I'll think of, which is why their Mum's Bathtime Favourites* gift box is a total must for Mother's Day. 

Unfortunately the gift box has now sold out online, but this doesn't mean you can't find it in your nearest LUSH store. Or alternatively, why not recreate the gift box yourself? Simply buy the content of the box separately, wrap up with one of the chic LUSH knot wraps and gift away! 

 

If you're wondering what's inside the Mum's Bathtime Favourites gift set, simply click on each of the names listed here and discover the 2023 Mother's Day bathing must-haves...

• Mini Sleepy bubble bar
• Mini Comforter bubble bar
• Mini Brightside bubble bar
• Atom Heart Mother bath bomb
• Tea Party bath bomb
• Jasmine bath bomb
• Twilight bath bomb
• Deep Sleep bath bomb
• Avo Cuddle bubble bar

And aside from the gift box or DIY hamper, why not consider their Rose Jam Body Spray*, Karma Perfume* or Time To Relax Bath Bomb*? The rose-scented body spray has got to me my ultimate favourite scent at the moment - simply because it smells like the most lavish bouquet... which is why it's perfect for Mother's Day. While the Karma Perfume is a personal favourite of my mum's and is always at the top of my list when it comes to gifting her a fragrance. And the Time To Relax Bath Bomb is just the perfect bathing accompaniment for any busy lady in your life.

Luxury Sweets from LAKRIDS BY BÜLOW

RRP: From £20

My family all adore liquorice, which is why LAKRIDS BY BÜLOW is my new obsession - especially for gifting! I didn't even know that gourmet liquorice was a thing until I was introduced to this brand - and oh how do I wish I'd discovered it before now. Delicious chocolate coated treats with a heart-shaped liquorice core, their LOVE collection is perfect for Mother's Day. The STRAWBERRY & CREAM* and the FRUITY CARAMEL* flavours are both in pink hues, making them ideal for this special occasion... and once you try them, you'll be gobsmacked. 

Heavenly chocolate combines with fruity flavours and then the salty liquorice arrives to complete the taste experience. If you can't decide between either of the flavours, why not get them the LOVE SELECTION BOX*, which also features a selection of different flavours including SALTED CARAMEL and MILKSHAKE.
