Funny Mother's Day Gift Ideas: Brilliant Presents For Mums Who Love A Laugh

Not every mum wants flowers and a soppy poem. Some would much rather have a gift that makes them laugh over a cup of tea.

Some of the things we suggest here are sold by other shops, not by us. Where we link to them, we say so.

Cheeky and cosy

  • 'If you can read this, bring me wine' socks.
  • A mug that says 'World's okayest mum'.
  • A pin badge for her coat.

Small treats

  • Her favourite chocolate with a funny label.
  • A mini bottle of fizz.
  • A voucher for 'one afternoon of nobody asking where anything is'.

The card

  • A cheeky Mother's Day card she'll keep on the fridge.
  • Write one proper sentence inside, so it's funny and kind.

Keep it right

  • Joke about family life, not about her.
  • Pair a novelty gift with a little time together.

Shop all cards

How to write it so it lands

  • Order cards a week early.
  • Add breakfast in bed for full marks.

Something cheeky but useful, like novelty socks, a funny mug or a rude-but-kind card.
