Mother’s Day is your chance to spoil your Mum, Stepmum, Nan, Auntie – or anyone else in your life who you feel is deserving.

This year, go the extra mile and get them something unique and special to symbolise how much they means to you.

We have plenty of inspiration for Mother’s Day gifts…

When is Mother’s Day in 2025?

This year Mother’s Day falls on Sunday 30 March.

The date changes every year but it usually falls on the last Sunday in March in the UK.

Mother’s Day usually falls three weeks before Easter, and on the fourth Sunday of Lent.

In the United States, Mother’s Day falls on the second Sunday in May.

Mother’s Day gifts for the interiors lover

Picking up bits for the home is always going to go down well with Mum, especially if she’s as interiors obsessed as we are.

Here are some of our favourite interiors ideas for Mother’s Day 2025…

Smeg is the cult kitchen brand that we’re all obsessed with.

Combining retro iconic style with modern kitchen aesthetics, every new creation from them is something special.

Mummy mug

As a mother myself I can tell you that these Emma Bridgewater mugs are my idea of the ultimate present.
