Your mum deserves a treat and Mother’s Day is fast approaching. So now is the perfect time to start shopping for one special gift that’s ideal for her. You know your mum better than anyone, so think about her favourite interests and then choose a luxurious treat that’ll suit her tastes.
Accessories for fashionistas
When was the last time your mum had a new handbag or purse? It’s usually a one-off purchase that lasts us years, so I bet it’s about time that her old, well-used bag was replaced. And that’s where you come in by treating her to something luxurious such as a piece from Dune London.
The leather collection from the brand is full of supple bags with gleaming gold-tone hardware, which will make Mum feel truly spoilt this Mother’s Day. Or you could choose a statement pleated clutch, a purse with a luxe metallic finish or an evening bag covered with sparkling metallic embellishments.
If you choose a classic handbag design like my favourite Dorry bag, it’ll never go out of style and will be an accessory your mum will use for years to come. It’s crafted from synthetic recycled materials, making it a vegan-friendly option. Plus, the timeless design has both top handles and a detachable crossbody strap so it can be carried in multiple ways, making it extra versatile for everyday use.
Whatever accessory you choose for your Mum, it’ll feel like a real treat when she unwraps it on Mother’s Day.
Skincare for gardeners
If your mum is a keen gardener, it’s a thoughtful idea to treat her to something for the garden. But I’m not necessarily talking about buying her plants or compost – although I’ve done this for my mum in the past and it was very well received!
In this instance, I’m talking about the ultimate duo for gardeners – some Green Lady cold processed soap and Gardener’s hand balm from The Edinburgh Natural Skincare Co. This luxurious skincare kit will provide hardworking hands with the care they deserve; soothing and revitalising hands after a day in the garden.
The reason why I favour this company so much is that the skincare they create is eco-friendly, with natural ingredients and sustainable packaging, making these products a must-have for environmentally conscious gardeners. The products feel luxurious whilst also delivering excellent results.
Tech for nature fans
One of the things that brings me and mum joy is spotting garden birds fluttering around our respective homes, so feeding the birds is a daily activity for us. But what if you could add a luxurious element to this activity? Enter the Birdbuddy feeder!
I’ve just got one of these for my own garden and it’s a game-changer for nature lovers. It’s like having your own personal Springwatch in the garden because this bird feeder includes a camera and smart technology to let you receive instant snaps of the birds in your garden and even provides species recognition.

New features in my Pro model include a wide-angle camera that provides a 2k live stream video and high-definition photos – with a slow motion option to capture those beautiful garden birds in action. It helps you to do your bit for conservation too; each photo can be anonymously added to a global citizen science project database, helping researchers and conservationists monitor bird populations and migration patterns.
It’s wi-fi powered and the app allows your mum to share activity from her bird feeder with her friends and family – I can’t wait to add my own mother to my camera and vice versa so we can compare bird species visiting our gardens miles apart.
The BirdBuddy feeder is available from John Lewis or Currys in the UK and it’s certainly a luxurious way to treat your natural-loving mum this Mother’s Day.
Warmth for relaxation
Time to relax is always at the top of most mothers’ lists so let’s make that happen for her on Mother’s Day. You could treat her to a luxurious day of pampering or take her out for a lovely afternoon tea. Having a calm day together is always a lovely treat.
But what about after Mother’s Day? Consider getting her a gift that she can use again and again for relaxation, such as a snuggable, huggable, lovable Warmies heatable soft toy, such as this sweet puppy or one of their wellness products, which includes eye masks, slippers and heart or bottle-shaped heated pads.
These luxuriously soft plush Warmies are weighted for comfort and can be heated in a microwave to provide hours of soothing warmth. Plus, the products can be chilled to provide a cooling effect when needed. My favourite thing about my own Warmies puppy is that it’s gently scented with relaxing French lavender – another reason why this would be a great treat for Mother’s Day.
Sweet treats for foodies
And finally, there’s always time for tea and cake on Mother’s Day so why not make it a personalised treat? If you nip down to your nearest Asda store you can order a personalised cake to be made on the spot using the Big Day Cakes kiosk.
I’ve prefioudly enjoyed one of these delicious cakes, which can be cusomised with a photograph of your choice and any celebratory frame to suit the occasion. The cakes are available in vanilla with buttercream and raspberry jam, or chocolate with indulgent chocolate buttercream – I’d be quite happy with either option for a special event!
Creating a personalised cake for your mum makes your teatime teats just that little bit more luxurious and turns your Mother’s Day visit into a fabulous celebration.
I hope you’ve enjoyed these ideas for adding a luxurious twist to Mother’s Day gifts and treats for your own mum. Please let me know your own budget-friendly yet pampering plans in the comments below; I’d love to hear how you’re spoiling your mum this year.
