Mother's Day gift ideas to give instead of flowers
What better way to mark Mother’s Day than with a considered gift that celebrates your mum - or mother figure’s - greatness? Forgo the usual bunch of flowers and treat them to something extra special - we’ve made your search simple with 18 of our best and brightest home and fashion ideas for Mother’s Day gifts.
The interior enthusiasts
For the homebodies, match mum to present with our curated gift edits of distinctive homeware designed in our creative studios. Think hand-painted tableware with plenty of personality, strokably soft velvet wash bags and sculptural vases to brighten those inevitable blooms. Our bestselling patchwork bedspread is a top pick, back with a new design update in fresh spring colours.
Me-time makes the best Mother’s Day gift for expecting and new mums, so why not treat her to self-care gifts they can use before and after the baby arrives? We’ve hand-picked our beauty favourites and pampering treats to help her unwind, or go for our iconic mama mug for a refreshing upgrade to her tea routine. For an at-home aromatherapy experience, an electric diffuser ticks all the boxes. Anything that can help her feel rested, rejuvenated and relaxed will make the perfect new mum gift.
The style muse
If fashion is her forte, lift their look with playful totes or a characterful bag charm that’s sure to boost her mood. Looking for something more personal? Find high-shine silver and gold jewellery designs, from delicate pendant necklaces to impactful earrings. Our top picks include our polka dot triangle scarf, chunky Gola trainers designed exclusively with OB, or a colourful pair of sunglasses for the springtime sun.
If clothing’s on her list, level up her spring wardrobe - and her Mother’s Day - by gifting a piece of mood-boosting knitwear. It’s a perfect throw-on piece to pair with spring’s changeable weather, and our designs are knitted in mood-boosting colour combinations that will make her smile when they unwrap it.
The main event
Once the gift is sorted, you’ll need to set the scene for your Mother’s Day get-together with tableware that embraces the occasion. As we lean it to the refreshing colours and patterns of spring, expect pastel glassware, hand-painted ceramics, and glass vases with mood-boosting pops of colour. Welcome friends and family with a feel-good table setting, from handblown candlestick holders to figurine vases that spark conversation. However you’re celebrating, embrace distinctive design details for more impactful hosting this Mother’s Day.
