In celebration of mums everywhere, Mother’s Day is a day dedicated to honouring maternal bonds and all that mums, or mum figures, do for us. But just how do you make it special for the special person in your life?
We’ve got some ideas on how to spoil your mum from time spent at home to going all out at a pamper day, let them know how much they mean to you with these Mother’s Day gift ideas:
Is it us or are mums notoriously hard to buy for? They seem to have it all and want for nothing more than a bunch of flowers. And sure, flowers are nice to give but if you’re looking to spoil the mother figure in your life with something extra, then read on because we’ve got you.
Mum’s love a sentimental gift so the best place to start if you’re unsure what to buy mum for Mother’s Day is a gift that means something. We love doing year-in-review picture books as a way to collate all the pictures you took together in the last 12 months.
There are loads of picture companies that can turn them into beautifully bound books so they can sit pride of place on the coffee table until next year.
Plus, it’s a great excuse to make extra special memories throughout the year, knowing that you’ll be presenting a photobook at the end of it.
Top tip: staying with the photo theme, you could get just one picture printed but in high-quality and framed. Choose your favourite picture from the year gone by and put it in pride of place at your mum’s house.
If you’re truly stuck for ideas, new jewellery is always a winner. This year why not add a sentimental touch and get yours and hers initials printed on a necklace, or your fingerprint on a ring – all elements to add a loving message to your loved one.
If you’re unsure on what to gift someone, or would prefer that they chose something themselves, then gift cards are truly the best gift to get someone.
If you want to pick up a gift card for hair or beauty services, you can order digital gift cards online or give us a call and we can get one sent to you. We offer vouchers for as much value as you want to give so the sky is the limit to show your love.
Some mum’s are proper homebodies and love to enjoy time with their family in the comfort of their own home. If this is your mum – or mum figure – you can pull out all the stops by hosting your own at home spa:
As if anyone needs an excuse to crack open a facemask and relax into a pamper session.
Start the day in your robes and open a Bucks Fizz to truly kick start the spa experience. After a double cleanse, add your facemask for extra hydration. If you’ve got a Jade roller, Gua Sha, or ice roller, now is the time to treat your mum’s face to a little magic. Following that, go all out and give her a manicure and pedicure and always remember to top up the Bucks Fizz.
We’ve got loads more ideas in our best self-care tips for hair and beauty 2021 blog, or duplicate your Gal-entine’s spa night for mum – she’ll love it.
As Mother’s Day is always on a Sunday and, more often than not, in March in the UK, a Sunday roast is commonly on the cards. Take your time to make a mouth-watering lunch that blows all the restaurant meals out of the water.
Go the extra mile with starter, main and dessert; pop indulgent ingredients and side dishes on the plate to take the taste to the next level. And, most importantly, don’t let mum lift a finger.
This isn’t just any Sunday lunch… this is your time to shine Mother’s Day lunch.
It’s not just us that have missed out on bottomless brunches this year and sometimes, nothing beats getting together with friends and family and enjoying good food with endless prosecco. So why not set up your own in the comfort of your own home. Send your mum to get glammed up, make a decent brunch, pop open the bubbly and enjoy the day with good music and even better company. Or you could book one at your local bar as there are countless bottomless brunch options to add a pop to your day.
Of course, the best way to treat mum is to sit her down in a comfortable chair and treat her to a range of treatments from the best-in-class team at Charlie Milz. From a professional wash and style to new nails, a facial and massage, there’s plenty on the menu in the salon to treat your mum like the queen she is. Book in to avoid disappointment.
Whatever you decide to do, be that relaxing in your lockdown loungewear or getting glammed up and treating your mum or mother figure like a queen, get creative, enjoy it, and make memories that will last a lifetime.
