The best Mother's Day gifts 2024:
Lookfantastic Mother's Day Beauty Edit
If your mum's a beauty fan, you basically can't go wrong with this Lookfantastic edit. The box is filled with indulgent (and genuinely useful) beauty treats from Bobbi Brown, Rituals, Laneige and more.
Beauty Pie Cooling Gua Sha
This cooling Gua Sha feels incredibly soothing on the skin so she can use it for a much-needed nightly pamper treat. Plus it's heart-shaped, making it the perfect symbol of your love.
Chloé Nomade Nuit d'Egypte Eau De Parfum
With accents of myrrh, orange blossom and warm vanilla, Chloé's newest fragrance is just as powerful yet comforting as your mum is.
Veronique Gabai Desert Rose Eau de Parfum
And if she's more a fan of rich and decadent floral scents, this will fast become her new favourite fragrance. It has a woody-meets floral finish, for an elevated take on a classic rose scent.
Grace De Monaco Promenade Sur Le Rocher Eau de Parfum
For Mother’s Day, you want to opt for something timeless, and this scent is as timeless as it is radiant. With Amber, musk and vanilla notes, and Princess Grace as the muse, it’s has all the glamour of Monaco bottled.
Addison Ross Blue Chinoiserie Frame
Addison Ross' stunning new Chinoiserie collection features a beautiful blossom print, perfect for spring. This statement blue photo frame just needs a cherished family picture to make the most perfect Mother's Day gift.
Aromatherapy Associates The Atomiser Essential Oil Diffuser
This ceramic diffuser would make such a thoughtful gift. Not only will it fill your mum's home with her favourite fragrance, but if she's feeling stressed, she will definitely benefit from the calming effects.
The White Company Cashmere Bed Socks
Socks are often frowned upon in the world of gifting, but we are big fans of The White Company's cashmere selection. These cashmere bed socks will quickly become your mum's favourite pair.
Our Place Always Pan
If your mum loves to cook, she will have definitely heard of the Always Pan. This stylish pan acts as a fry pan, saute pan, steamer, skillet, saucier, saucepan and non-stick pan all in one, how cool?
Pandora Treated Freshwater Cultured Pearl Earrings
These freshwater pearl studs from Pandora make for a classic gift that she'll wear time and time again.
Hotel Chocolat Happy Mother's Day Sleekster
For the chocoholics out there, give them what they really want with this selection from Hotel Chocolat. It has everything from classic chocolates to unique flavour combinations.
Russel & Bromley Hometime Closed Toe Footbed Clog
These new-season Russel & Bromley clogs will keep her cosy and chic through the transitional weather period.
Prada Tortoiseshell Rectangle-Frame Sunglasses
Speaking of transitional weather-friendly attire, these Prada tortoiseshell sunglasses will make any outfit feel instantly more elevated.
Atelier VM L'Essenziale 18ct Gold Chain Bracelet
An experience gift is always a winner in our opinion. Add in the fact that this one includes an 18kt gold chain? You'll be the favourite child this Mother's Day and beyond. Purchase a gift card and head down to Liberty any time (no appointment needed) where the Atelier VM team will weld the gorgeous venetian chain around your wrist for the perfect forever gift.
Lakeland Dual Basket Air Fryer With Easy View
Glamorous it may not be, but you can’t deny that she’ll get so much use out of an air fryer, and our Junior Shopping Editor Valeza loves this one from Lakeland. It makes light work of cooking everything from fish to veg, has a handy dual basket design for cooking different dishes and it’s under £100 - so she won’t be able to complain about you ‘spending too much on her’. Bonus.
Steamery Cirrus 3 Iron Steamer
She's probably been dropping hints that she'd love a steamer for a while, so we can't think of a better gift than this unbelievably chic one from Steamery. It's surprisingly compact considering the water container holds a decent amount - read: it's powerful but will take up very little space in her pantry.
It's not just handy for travel either - we find it far easier than taking out the iron and board each time we need a shirt de-creased.
Desmond & Dempsey Deia Long Pyjama Set
Pyjamas are a classic gift for a reason - but that doesn't mean they have to be boring. These printed PJs from Desmond & Dempsey are chic, comfy and can be monogrammed for free!

Fashion-forward mums will adore Barbour's new Catton Spey Patchwork jacket. It's showerproof and features the most beautiful patchwork design - the perfect balance of chic and practical.
Sister Jane DREAM Doris Floral Mini Dress
Another one for style-loving mums, this floral mini dress is the perfect day-to-night dress. With floral embroidery and an adjustable tie waist, it’s a wardrobe staple she’ll be happy to open on Mother’s Day.
Creed Carmina Eau de Parfum
Not only will this new scent from Creed look gorgeous on her nightstand, it's luxuriously scented with Rose de Mai, cashmere wood and black cherries.
Elizabeth Scarlett Floral Mama Everyday Pouch
In other pretty-yet-practical gift news, this velvet pouch from Elizabeth Scarlett is utterly perfect. She can use it to hold her make-up, spare objects in her bag or as a clutch.
Astrid & Miyu Story Chain
What could make her a better gift than a beautiful piece of jewellery that represents the whole family? Astrid & Miyu's new Story Chain allows you to weld a personalised selection of charms (we're talking initials, birthstones and zodiac signs) onto the solid gold chain of your choice.
Monica Vinader Lotus Gemstone Pendant Charm
If she already has a necklace she wears all the time, adding a beautiful pendant can't hurt. This Monica Vinader Lotus pendant is designed for layering, adding a pop of uplifting colour to her favourite piece of jewellery. Oh, and it can be engraved for free too!
