Relaxing Mother’s Day Gifts Ideas

Mums are one-of-a-kind, each amazing in their own way. But one thing they share? They’re always on the go! Whether it’s juggling work-from-home life, keeping the family on track, or lending a hand with the grandkids, they rarely hit pause. After the whirlwind of the past year, rest and relaxation aren’t just nice-to-haves—they’re essentials. This Mother’s Day, let’s treat them to a well-deserved break with gifts that say: “relax, you’ve earned it.” Here are some thoughtful ideas to help them unwind in style.

What are the best gifts for Mum on Mother’s Day?

Never mind flowers and chocolates, here are some unique, relaxing Mother’s Day gifts to make her day one she will smile about.

Surprise her with Brunch

Kick things off by taking breakfast duty off her plate. A homemade brunch is simple yet special—grab her favourite juice, some Greek yoghurt, and a fresh sourdough loaf for a delightful spread. For a trendy twist, try an easy vegan avocado toast: mash avocado with a sprinkle of chilli flakes, top with a poached egg (or skip it for plant-based), and serve on toasted sourdough.

If she’s a pancake fan, here’s an updated vegan banana pancake recipe:

Ingredients:

2 ripe bananas
½ cup oat flour
1 cup almond milk
½ tsp baking powder
1 tsp maple syrup (a fresh swap for honey)

Mix it all up, scoop it into a pan, and fry for 2-4 minutes per side in a splash of olive oil. Top with 2025 faves like fresh berries, almond butter, or coconut yoghurt for a deliciously modern touch.

Upgrade her bedtime

You can’t go wrong with bedtime treats to be sure she gets the best rest. Make her weekend lie-ins perfect with a gorgeously soft and breathable 100% Bamboo Bedding set. Bamboo is not only ultra-stylish, but the hypoallergenic fabric is soft and gentle on the skin and naturally thermoregulating. This makes it ideal for hot summer nights and cosy, warm winters. Our bedding sets are available in dreamy pink, midnight blue, grey, or white. Mums need their beauty sleep, and they deserve a bit of luxury.

Make bath-time paradise

Speaking of luxury, put the ‘pamper’ into her bath time with some simple, fluffy touches. Bamboo bath towels are the most comforting way to get wrapped up after unwinding in the tub. Cosy, plush and stylish- bamboo fibres are ultra-absorbent and durable, making bath time bliss. Plus, these towels get softer with every wash. And to turn the whole bathroom into paradise, a bamboo bath rug will keep her feet nice and snug while she dries off and prepares herself for a snuggly night on the sofa.

Create the perfect movie night

Ditch the cinema for a cosy night in—or out! Let her pick the flick—maybe a classic like Pride and Prejudice or a recent gem like Everything Everywhere All at Once. Set the mood with popcorn, fairy lights, and a blanket fort. If the weather’s warm, take it outside for a backyard movie night under the stars. Bonus: Pause for tea refills and chats; no shushing is required.

Bonus tips on how to make Mum feel extra special this year

While all these gift ideas are great ways to help her relax and feel pampered, here are a few other things you could do to make her feel truly special.

Book a trip

Wellness is huge in 2025, so gift her a calming escape. If a spa trip isn’t doable, book a virtual yoga class or meditation session to enjoy together. For something local, try a forest bathing walk or sound healing workshop. If travel’s on the table, a weekend at a countryside retreat could be just the ticket for making memories.

Lighten the load

Mums have a lot to do, from the school run and managing careers to looking after the grandkids – offering to do little things to help lighten the load can make a big difference to her day. Whether it’s offering to get the food shopping, cooking or helping out with the cleaning, remember teamwork makes the dream work.

Create a Digital Compliment Jar

We all love hearing what makes us special. Go beyond paper notes—record short video messages or voice notes from the family about why she’s amazing (her kindness, her laugh, her strength). Compile them into a video or playlist she can replay anytime she needs a lift.

Sometimes, it’s easy to forget to tell the people who matter how much they mean to us and what we love about them.

The Mother’s Day takeaway

Mother’s Day is a special time of year to say thank you for all our Mums do for us. Whether it is with a home-cooked brunch, cosy new bedding or beautiful stylish gifts for the home, treating her to something she will love will make her day. Most importantly, remember to tell her how much you love her and all the little ways she makes the world a happier place.
