‘Mother’s Day is just around the corner, so I think it’s a perfect opportunity to treat our Mums or even a good excuse to treat ourselves! So here are some lovely gifts to put a smile on a special Mums face. 

Mother’s Day 22nd March 2020

*I was sent these items to be included in this gift guide, however, I would only share items that I love myself.

Portmeirion Auris Pink Conical Vase – Was £71.50 Now £35.03

You never know we might receive some flowers on Mother’s Day to go in this stunning pink vase from Pormeirion! When I unwrapped this I was blown away by how beautiful it was. I’ve never seen a vase like this in colour and with the added Swarovski crystals sweeping across the front too. This works perfectly with my new interiors, so I’m over the moon with it. 

You’re A Star Letterbox Hamper – £24.99 – Giftpup 

The letterbox star hamper is a very yummy hamper that has a bundle of scrummy food to share or keep to yourself. I’ve kept this one hidden from the kids and I can have a little treat to myself now and again…..I’m being responsible as there are some prosecco ones and champagne chocos included…….!! 

I love gifts that can be delivered through the letterbox as it means you don’t run the risk of them being left outside, especially knowing it’s food inside the box. This is how it’s delivered and even the box is different! 

It was all neatly packaged inside, only one broken chocolate slab when it arrived, but it’s all going to get broken in the end, isn’t it! 

I was very impressed by this product, all the food tasted very nice and not your run of the mill flavours and toppings either. This would make a lovely gift no matter what occasion. 

Personalised Fleece Blanket – £59.95 – Vistaprint 

We’ve been busy redecorating our house after our renovation and the lounge is now a really cosy room. I love snuggling up in the evenings with a blanket. 

Vistaprint offers personalised fleece blankets in a couple of sizes, you can then add your photo to the blanket, along with some text. But the design is 100% down to you, with easy templates you can use and different colour options to pick. 

I went for one of their templates that makes it look like the images have been painted on, or rubbed out to reveal the image. Then added a quote along the bottom 

The family is one of natures’s masterpieces 

I picked our family photo that I took in Scotland for the image on the fleece blanket, and as you can see the image has printed out really well. 

I can snuggle up and think of our wonderful trip to Scotland (dreaming of going again!) 

Mama Bear Personalised Jumper – £19.99 – The Gift Experience

OK, how super cute is this?! The Gift Experience sent me this personalised Mama Bear pink jumper and I love it! You can add up to 3 (more available if requested) baby bear names to the jumper at no extra charge. I’m so used to paying extra for things like this, it’s great to see it’s included in the price no matter how many names you add on. 

Of course, I had to have my photo taken with my 3 baby bears didn’t I, and in order!! (Um look how tall Tyler is next to me now!?) 

The Mama Bear jumper comes in 3 sizes, M, L and XL. I’m wearing an M sized one and usually wear a 10-12 UK size. It’s a loose-fitting on me but that’s really comfortable to wear, with either jeans, leggings or a pair of comfy PJ bottoms! 

Made from 65% Polyester 35% Cotton French Terry backed jersey 250gsm it’s quite a lightweight jumper which is really nice as you can layer it up underneath or under my coat for when I’m out walking with them. Priced at £19.99 I think this makes a really lovely personalised gift that any Mama Bear would love. 

OGGS Vegan Celebration Chocolate Cake – £8

Now, who would say no to cake?! But this OGGS Vegan-Friendly, plant-based and recycled material packing is one tasty cake!! 

I haven’t tried many vegan cakes and really did expect this cake to be dry and not have much taste…….how wrong was I! This is one of the yummiest cakes I’ve eaten (and I’ve eaten a fair few!!)  

I’ve had to reduce my milk content down recently so it was nice to be able to eat a cake without any dairy products in it, but this statement from OGGS just shows how free it is for so many people. You won’t be disappointed by the taste at all. 

“This isn’t a Celebration Cake for vegans, this is a cake without compromise for everyone.  Whether you are a meat eater, plant-based, have egg or dairy allergies or simply just love great cake…we wanted to create a product that can bring everyone together and be shared by all” – Hannah Carter, Founder.

Even if you’re not vegan or any dietary issues, this would be a perfect cake to bring along to a party or celebration and know that if there was a vegan there you could all enjoy the cake together and no one is left out.

Whittard Of Chelsea Tea Set – Teas £25 – Glass Infuser Mug £18 

I love tea, it’s the first thing I want in the morning, and I’m really not a happy bunny without it! But I find it so relaxing to have a cuppa, it’s not always when I’m stopping and relaxing but even when I’m working too. 

But I’m keen to try some new types of teas, so when this beautiful set arrived from Whittard Of Chelsea I was very impressed. With a selection in little boxes, I can give them a try without worrying too much if I’m not to keen on them. The boxes look super cute to have out on the side too! 

I played safe with my first one and went for an English Breakfast, I know I’ll love this one! The tea comes in loose tea leaves, and as I didn’t have a tea strainer or loose teapot they also sent me a Glass Pao Mug with Infuser, this makes such a lovely set together. 

Leaving the tea for around 3-5 minutes to infuse it will make a very tasty cup of tea. The glass mug is really lightweight and lovely to drink from. I’m working my way through the other teas and I’m so impressed by the flavours of them, they are much nicer than your standard teabag versions! 

Love Leggings Yoga Leggings – £28 

After back operation 2 years ago I’m still suffering and in a lot of pain, I am currently working with an Osteopath and Pilates teacher to try and help me gain some stability of my spine and build some strength to support it. So it’s important for me to get into a regular routine of exercises and to take care of myself. 

I have a pair of Love Leggings that they sent me last year which are super comfy, so when they offered me the chance to try out their sports leggings I knew they were going to be good! 

They’ve designed the leggings with Yoga and Studio work in mind, minimising distractions and maximise flexibility. They have a no fuss seam, and naturally breathable fabric. 

I was really impressed with the flattering V-shaped waistband creating a flattering bum-shaping silhouette, which is also providing the correct amount of support and control around the waist which is very important for me. Nothing was digging into my scar area and I felt so comfortable in these leggings. 

I have them in the full-length version, but they also come in 7/8’s fit too and sizing 4-20 so really versatile for everyone. 

It heats up on both sides and heating up to 120°F / 50°C and adjustable temperature options you can easily find your most comfortable heat for you. It can last up to 9 hours as well!!

I love that this uses less waste, no more disposable warmers and you can easily keep it in your bag for when it’s really cold! Be great for when the kids are cold out on your walks to, keep them happier for a little longer when it’s cold out there! 

Fiskars Garden Pruners – £25

Last summer I loved my garden, it was full of colour and I found it so relaxing out there. But it takes time and commitment to keep it looking nice. Having the correct tools is important to make this job as easy and comfortable as possible. 

I was sent some Fiskars Powergear X Pruners which are so easy to use! I couldn’t believe how smooth and easy on my hands they were. I find pruning hard on my hands, but as these can cut up to 20mm with this smooth action, I am going to be able to keep on top of the pruning so easily now! 

Mary Poppins Gifts – £5.99 and £6.99 

The girls and I are Mary Poppins fans and it’s a film I’ve loved when I was young too. So when I spotted these cute little beauty sets on Mad Beauty, I knew I would love them too! 

A little makeup bag would be perfect when we went away, and then the nail file that looks like Mary Poppins tape measure…..!! Super cute! 

Personalised Recipe Box – The Personalised Gift Shop – £19.99

We love to try new recipes and make most of our dinners from scratch, but there are some firm favourites! So I thought this would be a perfect box that we could place all our favourite recipes in and be easy to find them. 

Measuring 24 x 18cm it is large enough to hold plenty of recipes but small enough to sit neatly on the side. Being able to personalise the front with up to 25 characters you can really make it personal to your family or loved one as a gift. 

Personalised Chocolate Box – Morse Toad – £14.70 

Being able to personalise gifts makes them extra special and I love how Morse Toad allows you to upload a photo to the front of this chocolate box which can then be used as a photo print for the recipient to keep, even after all the chocolates have gone!! 

and I am sure they will go pretty quickly as they look yummy! You can select various options of chocolate text depending on what words and quantity of chocolates you want. 

Adding a message to the inside makes it even more personal too. 

We’re planning on giving these to Kev’s Mum as these are a perfect little chocolate treat for someone you love. I am sure she will love to have the print of us all too. 

You can even buy the gift box with a wooden frame around the photo too.

Sumissura Made To Measure Clothes – £Gift Card

I have never looked into made to order clothes as I expected them to be far too expensive, but when Sumissura contacted me asking if I would like to feature them as a gift I was so surprised by the pricing. You can get a made to measure dress from £69! 

Picking your neckline, the length, the colour from lots of fabrics and the way it ties! I was so impressed by this. They offer many different clothes as well, like blouses, suits, occasion dresses and many more items. 

Head over to see what options there are and you can purchase a gift card as a gift so the recipient can pick their perfect item. 

Seed Pantry – £various prices 

Having a garden to fill up with lots of beautiful new flowers, I’m keen to try new plants but never know where to start. Well, Seed Pantry is a fantastic company that sells a stunning range of seeds and bulbs for your garden. If you’re looking for planting more flowers in your garden or even starting to grow vegetables.

I have received some summer flowering bulbs in my box, and after looking them up on the website I cannot wait to see them flowering, they’re stunning!
