My 2019 Mother's Day Gift Guide

With Mother's Day just over 2 weeks away, on Sunday 31st March, now is the perfect time to get prepared. I thought I'd show off what is available at the moment for those mums out there - the perfect gifts for Mother's Day. Some items are perfect if you're on a budget or for if you want to splurge, but most of all, they're all with mum in mind. 

Here is my 2019 Mother's Day gift guide...

Jewellery is always a good gift to give, and with rose gold being a fashion statement this year, opting for this Rose Gold Plated Wish Pendant may make all your wishes come true. Simple yet unique, with a protective anti-tarnish layer, this beautiful pendant has a single black pearlized stone setting in the middle and comes in a stunning Newbridge Silverware gift box. 

The Rose Gold Plated Half Enamel Bangle looks amazing and so elegant, and comes in a variety of colour designs, as well as black to coordinate with the pendant. This simply timeless enamel bangle is part of the Moonkoin range and would work wonderfully layered up with other pieces. This bangle is presented in a Newbridge Silverware Moonkoin pouch.

If your mum is a lover of fragrance, then SEKSY Elegance could be the perfect choice. An exotic, oriental fragrance for a sophisticated taste, with of notes mandarin, jasmine and blackberry musk. I love that is comes embellished with a Swarovski crystal and a detachable Swarovski charm that can be added to your favourite jewellery.

The premium Discovery Collection from Lir Chocolates contains 16 beautifully hand-crafted and decorated luxury chocolates that showcases eight mouth-watering unique flavours, to make a sumptuous gift this Mother's Day. Including exotic ingredients such as Persian lime oil, Spanish pistachio and Tahitian vanilla, each encased in a Belgian chocolate, these chocolates will give a taste sensation. 

And if fruity flavours is your bag, then this Rosa dei Masi 2017 fits the bill, with an elegant bouquet of wild strawberries and cherries with a soft body and a freshness, made partially with an ancient drying technique, appassimento. This technique adds weight on the palate so makes this rosé great for food, or to celebrate Mother's Day with the ones you love.

RHS Crystallised Prosecco Truffles from Amelie Chocolat is the latest addition to RHS "Chocolates by Nature" collection, and for every product sold, a contribution is made to the RHS, the UK's leading gardening charity. This yummy pouch features this delicious selection of milk chocolate Prosecco truffles. Luscious centres of fresh creamy chocolate ganache combined with Grappa di Prosecco, are enrobed with delicate Swiss milk chocolate shells and sprinkled with crystals of pearlised sugar.

Low alcohol wine is also a great choice for those who love a tipple, but maybe don't want to have too much. Three Mills Reserve White is a fruity white wine which makes a fantastic drink with gooseberry, melon and apple flavours. And what's more, this white wine was awarded a Silver certificate in the 2018 IWSC Awards.

I'm sure all us mums would love a day with spa access, and this Afternoon Tea with Spa Access for Two at Crowne Plaza Leeds from Buy A Gift is the perfect gift. A relaxed and indulgent day, with the perfect combination of access to the fantastic spa facilities, followed by a traditional afternoon tea, or coffee! With unlimited access to the health club, including a heated pool, Jacuzzi, sauna and steam room and well-equipped gym. Finishing off in the restaurant, having a traditional afternoon tea. You get to tuck into tasty sandwiches, sultana scones with clotted cream and jam, and miniature treats which will make any mum feel truly special.

To celebrate Mother’s Day GLOSSYBOX have produced a limited edition skincare and makeup gift box worth over £100. So, if your mum is into her skincare and make up, the GLOSSYBOX could be the thing for her. With this Limited Edition box now being out of stock, you could treat mum with a subscription to their monthly boxes.

Featuring skincare items Clarins Extra-Firming Night Cream, Peter Thomas Roth 24K Gold Mask, Crabtree & Evelyn Hand Recovery, Molton Brown Shower Gel and Beauty Bio The Sculptor. The make up is bareMinerals BAREPRO Longwear Lipstick, Laura Gellar Baked Gelato Swirl Illuminator, OPI Nail Lacquer and a Yankee Candle Small Jar Candle so you can relax with a delicious scent as you try out your new goodies.

I love personalised gifts as they are something that can be cherished for years to come. This For Mum Personalised Gift Set from Pretty Little Treats has a personalised box, so you can make it out, to your perfect mum. You then get to pick out three items to go inside your box from a long list of items. The beautiful products are handmade in the heart of Yorkshire and are vintage inspired. Using sweet scents and natural ingredients which are never tested on animals. 

Skincare is so important, and so you could buy your mum the Skin Doctors 7 Days to Glow Challenge products. Prime skin with Age-Defying Power Oil which nourishes, hydrates and conditions the skin for a more vibrant, youthful appearance. 

Then treat mum to Skin Doctors’ award-winning day-to-night Potent. Vit. C and Potent. Vit. A single dose Ampoules, available in a collagen boosting Duo Pack.

I couldn't not mention this super appropriate Yorkshire Mum card from Love Layla. Their cards are not only hilarious but are also amazing quality, made from a thick 350gsm white card, printed full colour with a leading industry printer, with a bespoke purple envelope. And to match with the fun gifts from Love Layla, this Gindependent Pen is ideal for those gin lovers, and the Work Mum Notebook in this dark pink A5 PU Mole Pad, has lined paper, elastic strap and pocket to rear. 

How about spending some quality time with mum with a Three Course Meal for Two at Zizzi from Red Letter Days.

Fellow blogger, and owner of Ada & Alfred, Alex has created a business with gorgeous and unique products and prints either hand made or hand finished here in the UK. The gorgeous 'Rocking the Mama Life' Slogan T-Shirt has a super soft feel and is shaped to give a better fit. These WRAP Certified Production items come in a range of colours and designs, and support a small business too. 

As a mum who walks, and exercises a lot, these Energise Full-Length leggings in Thunder Blue from Love Leggings are a great choice. These performance-enhancing leggings are lightweight and offer full support and compression where needed most. Very versatile, these leggings were designed with fitness and gym in mind.

And since I do walk outdoors a lot, those little items that will protect mum outdoors, and still look fab, are a great gift. This Ebba Cloud Knitted Hat from Buff is a top quality winter bobble hat. In this gorgeous knitted grey colour, it has glitter strands to really make it stand out. 

For all your water needs, the SIGG Water Bottle Star in Blush is a bit more glamorous in this modern heat-resistant borosilicate glass. The soft silicone cover flatters the hand and is at the same time a shock protection. What's more, this bottle is totally leak proof and has been designed and engineered by their team and partners in Switzerland.

As a mum, I am used to not getting to drink my coffee whilst it's actually hot, so this Klean Kanteen Insulated Tumbler is ideal to give mums that much needed hot drink. Keeping drinks hot for 4 hours and iced for 20 hours, thanks to the Climate Lock double-wall vacuum insulation. And the Klean Coat powder coat finish is 4X more durable, chip-resistant and safe for people and planet.

Critically Endangered Socks is a sock company that helps protect some of the world's most critically endangered animals. The socks themselves are made from a beautifully soft and sustainable blend of bamboo and cotton, which come in five designs and two sizes, and retail at £12 a pair. And I hear they are also launching baby socks with the aim to protect some of the world's most critically endangered baby animals too. 

And whilst we're helping mum, it's also good to gift those items that might help the little one have a restful time too. Aveeno is great on babies skin, and the Aveeno Baby Daily Care Baby Moisturising Lotion provides moisture for 24 hours and soothes baby skin, leaving it soft, smooth and healthy looking with a non-greasy texture. The Aveeno Baby Daily Care Baby Wipes are also great for protecting skin whilst out and about. With oat & aloe extract, they gently cleanse delicate baby skin and is formulated to help prevent redness.

Then give mum a good nights sleep with the help of Johnson's Bedtime Lotion which moisturises to leave delicate skin feeling healthy. And Johnson's Bedtime Oil which nourishes and is perfect for a session of baby massage. All Johnson's products are hypoallergenic, paediatrician and dermatologist-tested and free from dyes, parabens and phthalates.
