29 Mother’s Day Gift Ideas
Mother’s Day gifts do not have to be all candles, bath sets and panic flowers from the supermarket. 💐
Here are our favourite gifts for mums, from thoughtful little oddities to useful treats with personality. For mothers, mother figures and anyone who deserves something better than a “World’s Best Mum” mug for the nine-hundredth time.
Porcelain Sea Creatures by Siobhian Raymond
Working from London, Siobhian shapes porcelain into glowing nightlights, anglerfish, and mushroom-tangled miniature worlds. Her work feels like something discovered, not made. It's soft, luminous and alive with quiet magic. The kind of thing you'd tell your kids 'do not touch' but inside you're itching to do exactly that.
Personalised Classic Book Style Side Table
A solid wood side table printed to look like a classic novel with your own custom title.
Octopus Tentacle Ring
Delicately wrapped around your finger, this sterling-silver tentacle ring manages to feel both elegant and a little mischievous.
Octopus Tentacle Plant Stakes
Seven curling tentacles peek out from your plants, turning any pot into an undersea escape.
Moonlit Tea Infuser
A moon-shaped tea infuser with a tiny bat chain for celestial brewing sessions. Designed for those who like their tea ritual equal parts soothing and spooky. Because even dark souls deserve a warm cup.
Mini Plant Life Support
Perfect for serial plant neglecters, this clever drip feeder waters your greenery automatically. Just pop the peg into the soil and let it do its thing—no guilt, no drama, no paramedics required. A gentle nudge toward plant parenting success (and a funny little sight on any windowsill).
Microwavable Octopus Foot Warmer
Soft, plush and microwavable, this foot warmer keeps toes cosy through chilly nights.
Hug Doug Spoon Saver
Meet Doug, the little silicone hero who keeps your spoon from drowning in the stew. He grips your pot, holds onto your utensils and saves your worktop from splashes. He’s helpful, adorable and only slightly too attached. Wooden spoons need hugs too... I guess?
Hippo Candy Dish
A resin hippo bowl for sweets, keys, trinkets or whatever needs to disappear into a tiny animal mouth.
Gracula
Meet Gracula — the vampire who actually loves garlic. This clever twist crusher tackles cloves, ginger and herbs with fanged efficiency. BPA-free, food-safe and hand-wash friendly, he’s the perfect kitchen companion for mortals who season boldly.
Still not found the one? That’s fine. Mums are notoriously difficult to sum up in a shopping list, which is probably a good thing.
