On Sunday 31st March we celebrate the mums in our lives, and if you want to treat yours to a more thoughtful Mother’s Day gift this year, we have some great ideas.

You might be a parent of a young child in charge of organising a present for your partner.  Or you could be a teenager who wants to splash out on your mum.  Even grown-up children need inspiration sometimes. Whichever category you fall into, we have some lovely thoughtful Mother’s Day gift ideas we are sure your mum will cherish.

Thoughtful Mother’s Day Gift Ideas for All Ages

New Mums – Pampering Gifts

New mums are exhausted so a thoughtful Mother’s day gift will pamper and spoil her. Are you are a new dad with a limited budget? Even something like taking the baby out for the morning and letting your partner sleep in for the whole day is a treat. If you want to really treat your loved one then how about a relaxing spa session? Add on a soothing massage to ease the ongoing aches and pains of childbirth.

Partners – Activity Gifts

Many new mums lose their sense of identity when they have just had a baby. They feel as if their only role in life is to be a mother. Have a think about what your partner loved to do before she had the responsibility of caring for her new baby. Did she love to run or go to the gym? If so, get her a gym pass and arrange for babysitting so she can go. Or even simple things like taking over the caring of the new baby. This gives her time off so she can relax or go to a class to further her career prospects.

Young Children – Handmade Gifts

Mums of young children are not expecting expensive presents from their toddlers. In fact, they are much more likely to treasure something that is handmade. A Mother’s Day card with glitter and sprinkles is a good place to start. Often schools and nurseries will get in on the act. You might find your child coming home with a present already made. But if they haven’t, think about things your partner can keep. A hanging heart or a painted family drawing is a perfect present for Mother’s Day. In fact, why not help your child make a memory box to keep them all in?

Teenagers – Personalised Gifts

Teenagers are likely to be earning a little pocket money or they might even have a part-time job. This means they can buy a present for mum. They could already have an idea of what they want to get. However, if they need help, this is where you can advise them. There are lots of lovely personalised gifts available from online stores that are relatively inexpensive. Jewellery with semi-precious stones or initials that symbolise family members for example. If they don’t have any money, cleaning the house for a day is a lovely way of saying ‘thank-you’ to mum.

Grown-up children – Experience Gifts

Spending time with mum is probably the greatest gift you can give your mum at this stage in her life. Think about the things she really loves to do. So if it is wandering about National Trust gardens, you could buy her a seasonal ticket. Then arrange to take the family and go with her to a historical garden that she’s always wanted to visit. If you cannot spend the day with her, how about exploring a hobby she loves to do? For instance, if she has recently taken up painting why not sign her up to painting classes at her local hall? Likewise, buy her a set of expensive paints she wouldn’t normally be able to spend on herself.

It is easy to fall into the trap of buying a bouquet of flowers or a box of chocolates for your mum for Mother’s Day. We hope we have inspired you with our thoughtful Mother’s Day gift ideas.
