Mother, mum, mummy, mama, mami, mor. Most mum's "names" start with M. That's because babies naturally make these sounds early, and many cultures shaped their word for “mother” from them.
That's a side note.
What is more interesting is that Mother's day is coming up and what a better way to celebrate your mum or being a mum yourself, than give a meaningful present, not necessarily the one with the highest price tag.
Mother’s Day is the perfect excuse to slow down and celebrate the women who’ve shaped us. But finding the right gift can feel surprisingly tricky, especially when you want something more thoughtful than the usual last-minute flowers.
We thoughtfully prepared an intentional guide for Mother's day. Be inspired.
For the expectant mom
Lean into meaning and memory. A custom photo album, a framed handwritten note, or a piece of jewelry engraved with initials or an important date can turn everyday objects into lifelong keepsakes. These gifts tell a story and remind her of it every time she sees them.
Our choice: Thoughtfully designed linen Pregnancy Journal will guide you through 40 weeks of pregnancy and create a pampering luxury moment every time you fill it in.
For the sentimental mom
Lean into meaning and memory. A custom photo album, a framed handwritten note, or a piece of jewelry engraved with initials or an important date can turn everyday objects into lifelong keepsakes. These gifts tell a story and remind her of it every time she sees them.
Our choice: Drawing Binder for artsy kids will ensure your kids' drawings have a life beyond one week. In fact, with this binder they might even see your grandkids!
For the mom who needs a break
Consider gifts that encourage rest and self-care. Cozy loungewear, a luxurious skincare set, or even a “day off” you’ve planned from start to finish. Booking a massage, preparing her favorite meal, or simply taking responsibilities off her plate can be more valuable than anything wrapped in a box. Here are some more specific ideas.
Our choice: Give a hand-made gift card for babysitting. She will LOVE it. A few hours for herself, just to do something alone. Shopping, suntanning, sauna, dinner with loved one. This one is hard to beat.
For the experience-loving mom
This is me - if my husband is reading. He is probably not. But, create moments instead of giving things. Plan a brunch, a picnic, or a day trip somewhere she loves. You could also gift an experience like a cooking class, wine tasting, or concert tickets (with babysitting included of course) something you can enjoy together and turn into a shared memory.
For the creative or hobby-focused mom
Choose something that supports what she loves. Gardening kits, art supplies, baking tools, or books in her favourite genre show that you pay attention to what makes her happy in her own time.
Our choice: Stylish garden gloves for a mum who loves gardening? We got you covered.
For the practical mom
This one was easy as this is my mum for sure! Don’t shy away from useful gifts, just elevate them a bit to add intention. High-quality kitchen tools, a stylish bag, or something that makes her daily routine easier can still feel special when chosen thoughtfully.
Our choice: Kitchen Mixer with a lid. Every time my mum is making a cake and has the whip cream splashing all sides, she mentions she wants a mixer with a lid, but cannot find it in local stores. So here it is.
At the end of the day, the best Mother’s Day gifts aren’t about trends but about setting one day a year to pause and appreciate a mum. When your gift reflects who she is and what she loves, it becomes more than just a present.
