Looking for mother’s day gift ideas? Mother’s Day is a special occasion to honour and appreciate the incredible women in our lives. While traditional gifts like flowers and chocolates are normally appreciated, they are also pretty predictable, and perhaps a little bit boring (for the recipient). Perhaps your mum is on a diet, and would rather go without the temptation, or maybe she is allergic to flowers?
Not only that, but some men have been known to leave things until the last minute. So if you are anything like me, you may be starting to panic about organising a thoughtful gift.
Fear not, we’ve got you covered. Here are some different Mother’s Day gifts that you can order right now. We’ve explored a selection of alternative Mother’s Day gift ideas could provide a welcome break from the norm for the important ladies in your life.
There are so many different options can add a unique touch, and here are just ten thoughtful and distinctive Mother’s Day gift ideas. From self care to surf mums, here are 10 alternative mother’s day gifts:
10 Mother’s Day Gift Ideas
Sustainable Gift Box from WellBox
For the eco-conscious mum, the Sustainable Gift Box from WellBox offers a selection of environmentally friendly products. Each box includes carefully chosen items that promote sustainability and well-being, making it a gift that gives to mother without being at the expense of the planet. Furthermore, each purchase helps support a local charity, such as a food bank or mental health charity.
The bonus is that WellBox is most well know for corporate gifts and thank you gifts, so it’s unlikely that your mum will have received any WellBox gifts before on Mother’s Day.

Keeping your drinks hot for up to four hours, cold for up to six hours and chilled for up to 20 hours if ice is added. They don’t have to worry about spills as they’ll be able to throw the cup in their bag and start your day.
Soft Feet Peel Socks from Beauty Pie
We had to include this slightly ‘unique’ self care gift. Your mum’s feet will be left feeling baby soft after using these ‘soft feet peel socks.
You basically put your feed in the pouches for 90 minutes, wash them off, and then watch the old skin peel off over the next few days, revealing beautiful fresh skin. They sound absolutely revolting, but apparently they are very popular. A talking point if nothing else!
Jewellery Making Kits
For the creative and crafty mums out there, how about a jewellery making kit to encourage a brand new hobby that could result in lovely homemade gifts for you? Alternatively, you could buy the jewellery making kit for yourself to make an individual piece for you mum. Better get cracking with only a week to go. Polishing Jewellery, a UK owned family business, is the best place to get everything you need.
Practice Surf Yoga Board
If your mum is more on the active and adventurous side, and your budget is a little bigger, what about this cool balance board, which can be used indoors or outdoors. We didn’t need an excuse to include it after testing one from Practice Surf Boards. They are generally used for improving your core stability. Whether it’s surf practice, yoga, or pilates, – it’s a lot of fun. You don’t even need to be a soul surfer – it’s perfect for anyone looking to maintain their strength and stability in a fun way.
