The Best Handmade, Unique and Thoughtful Mother’s Day Gift Ideas.

I have one of those mums, you know the one…

…the one who already has everything and is hard to buy for, but she’s my mum and I love her! So I go down the special and thoughtful route. Something unique, handmade and that can’t be found in your standard high street shop. 

Don’t get me wrong I do love a flower bouquet and a box of chocolates. But, my mum is also not the biggest fan of chocolates and doesn’t like it when the flowers die. I’m the opposite of her, I LOVE chocolates!

So, I’ve done some extra digging and discovered some hidden gems for you. One of a kind and personalised gifts that will make the PERFECT Mother’s Day present.

Here we go, bring on the gift ideas…

For the Plant Mums

I wonder where I got my love for houseplants from?

Yep, you’re right it was from mother dearest. I honestly never cared for them when I was younger.

Being surrounded by stunning houseplant greenery was lost on me. Since moving into my own home though my views have changed… for the better!

You can find a beautiful collection of houseplants, pots and accessories at Queen of Green.

Not only are those houseplants absolutely gorgeous, but Sharon offers plant care to help keep those plants nice and healthy.

Still unsure which plant to go for? You can find some houseplant inspiration here.

If your mum already has a wonderful houseplant collection then plant accessories will be the one to go for.

Unique face pots and macrame plant hangers will allow her to jazz them up and display them in hard to reach places.

For the Mums who Deserve a Break

OK, I know ALL mums need a break! But, if your mum is in need of some self care and relaxation time then handmade essential oil soya wax melts are the ones for her.

At Bettyrose Creations you can get wax melts alongside a beautiful burner and gift them as a set. As well as the option to have a subscription so your mum's relaxation days never had to end. 

What makes these even more special is that Beth grows her own ingredients to make her products. As well as various aroma box recommendations based on seasons and wellbeing. 

For the Eco Conscious Mums

Mums who care for the planet truly deserve to be treated.

Choosing not to fill her life with certain things and pleasures and stepping away from the convenience route. Now that is an amazing achievement.

You can find luxury sustainable homeware at So At Nature that will be delivered right to her door in eco friendly packaging.

I gifted one of these pieces for my mum's birthday and was gutted that I didn't buy one for myself as well because it was beautiful. But, I am very grateful to have my own personalised glass jar for my homemade granola.

More of these will fill my home once my kitchen is complete!

Looking for a curated gift set/hamper? You'll find this style of present at Treat them Green where you can build your own gift box. A selection of hundreds of zero waste products made by independent makers across the UK. How incredible is that?!

Try topping that box up to form an even more unique cosy gift box with macrame accessories from That Knot Place’s recycled cotton collection.

For the Super Mums

Sometimes it’s impossible to find something unique, thoughtful AND special for your mum that’s already available. So how do you tick all 3 of those boxes? 

Go for a personalised product such as hand painted portraits and cards by Shadan Designs UK.

The care that goes into every bespoke painting can be seen in Shadans art - her work is stunning. Send in your favourite photo of you and your mum and receive a hand painted keepsake that she will cherish forever.

For the Dog Mums

If you fancy doing something a little bit different and getting a gift from the dog (yeah, they secretly want to give us things). Then these handmade macrame dog leads will be the perfect gift for both mummy and puppa!

Or if you’re sticking to the personalised route, then custom hand painted pet mugs will provide that extra special touch.

For the Mums who Love to Home

The amount of effort that goes into maintaining a house is absolutely crazy. So going the extra mile to transform a house into a home that feels lived in is something that should be celebrated.

At Itchy & Sketchy you can find personalised wooden signs that will inspire her and bring a smile to her face every time she walks into her home.

Or if your mum is just like me and can’t get enough of a morning cuppa then I’ve got the perfect pair for that hot mug of tea or coffee.

Handmade macrame coasters that will level up her cosiness whilst she sits on the sofa enjoying that moment before she's ready to start the day. Or if she works from home then it’ll be the cutest desk accessory to add to her home office.

I hope you’ve found inspiration in these Mother’s Day gift ideas.
