Mother's Day Gifts, Sorted By Budget

Mother's Day gifts that get used rather than displayed politely and quietly moved into a cupboard. Everything here is made in the UK: hand poured soy candles, printed wall art, pin badges and cards, all posted first class and boxed ready to give. If you are buying and posting from a distance, the whole order goes in one parcel with the card, or you can send the card separately so two things arrive instead of one.

Mothering Sunday 2026

UK Mother's Day is Mothering Sunday, which moves with Easter. In 2026 it falls on Sunday 15 March. Post by the Tuesday of that week to be safe: first class is usually next working day but is not guaranteed, and second class is meant to be two working days but can take up to five.

By budget

Under £10 gets you a card and a pin badge, which is a proper gift when the card is a good one. Between £10 and £25 covers a print or a candle, the two things most people actually keep. Between £25 and £50 pairs a candle with a framed print, or builds a small bundle of card, badge and candle. Above that, most mums would rather have your time, so put the difference into a day out and send a card that says when it is happening.

Who you are buying for

For a mum who has everything, a print with something specific to her on it beats another set of toiletries. For a new mum, practical wins: food, a decent water bottle, a paid cleaner, and a card that says she is doing fine. For a grandmother, a framed print of the grandchildren's names or a candle for the front room. For a mother in law, keep it warm rather than funny unless you know the ground well.

If Mother's Day is hard

For a lot of people this is a difficult Sunday: a mum who has died, a strained relationship, or a year of trying for a baby. A plain card saying you are thinking of them, sent in the week before rather than on the day, is worth more than any gift. Our thinking of you cards are made for exactly that.
