Mums are unique, each wonderful in their own particular way. One thing they do have in common is… they never stop! From school runs to home-cooked meals and everything in between, they could sure do with putting their feet up. Why not treat them to a good dose of rest and relaxation this Mother’s Day? Here are some beautiful Mother’s Day gift ideas to help them unwind in style.

What are the best gifts for Mum on Mother’s Day?

Never mind flowers and chocolates, here are some unique, relaxing Mother’s Day gifts to make her day one she will smile about.

Surprise her with Brunch

To start the day right, give her a break from making breakfast and whip up something she’ll love. Creating a delicious, homemade brunch for her to wake up to doesn’t take a lot. Grab her favourite juice, a few yoghurts, and a fresh loaf of sourdough and voila – you will have a spread to delight. Pancakes always go down a treat; if you are after a delicious recipe, try this simple, vegan banana stack.

Ingredients: 2x bananas, half a cup of oat flour, 1 cup of almond milk, half a teaspoon of baking powder, and one teaspoon of honey.

Mix everything together, scoop into a pan and lightly fry for 2-4 minutes on each side in a splash of olive oil. Finish with yummy toppings from classic lemon and sugar to fresh fruit and chocolate chips.

Upgrade her bedtime

You can’t go wrong with bedtime treats to be sure she gets the best rest. Make her weekend lie-ins perfect with a gorgeously soft and breathable 100% Bamboo Bedding set. Bamboo is not only ultra-stylish, but the hypoallergenic fabric is soft and gentle on the skin and naturally thermoregulating. This makes it ideal for hot summer nights and cosy, warm winters. Our bedding sets are available in dreamy pink, midnight blue, grey, or white. Mums need their beauty sleep, and they deserve a bit of luxury.

While all these gift ideas are great ways to help her relax and feel pampered, here are a few other things you could do to make her feel truly special.

Book a trip

With wellness, sleep and relaxation retreats being all the rage in 2024, booking some time away together for later in the year will give you something to look forward to and show your Mum how much you enjoy being with her. From countryside cottages and skiing resorts to sunshine luxury, a short break will give her a feel-good boost and allow you both to create beautiful memories.

Lighten the load

Mums have a lot to do, from the school run and managing careers to looking after the grandkids – offering to do little things to help lighten the load can make a big difference to her day. Whether it’s offering to get the food shopping, cooking or helping out with the cleaning, remember teamwork makes the dream work.

Compliment shower

We all love to be told we’re doing a great job and are funny, beautiful or inspiring. Write down everything you love about your Mum, from how she’s always so cheerful to how pretty she looks when she smiles. Share the list with her.

Sometimes, it’s easy to forget to tell the people who matter how much they mean to us and what we love about them.

The Mother’s Day takeaway

Mother’s Day is a special time of year to say thank you for all our Mums do for us. Whether it is with a home-cooked brunch, cosy new bedding or beautiful stylish gifts for the home, treating her to something she will love will make her day. And most importantly, remember to tell her how much you love her and all the little ways she makes the world a happier place to be.

‘There is no more extraordinary magic than Christmas’

Oh, don’t you love it? Roasting chestnuts, pretty lights, Christmas movies in your PJ’s… it’s the best time of year. Of course, the relaxation can kick in well after you’ve finished that Christmas shopping list. So many people, so little time. Do not fret; grab yourself a mince pie and unwrap our merry little list of cosy and eco-friendly gifts everyone will love. From the bathroom hoggers beauty sleep lovers to green dreamers, we’ll make sure you put a big smile on all your nearest and dearest faces this year.

What is sustainable gifting?

Sustainable gifting involves having the environment at heart when choosing Christmas gifts. It means taking the time and effort to find eco-friendly brands that create products from natural materials and use recycled packaging to ensure their business practices meet the highest environmental standards. At Panda, we proudly offer an eco-friendly production process from the forest to the front door. Our cosy Bamboo Bedding and home collections are designed to last, minimising consumption and tackling the pressure buying cheaper, convenient products that quickly get thrown away can have on the environment. Another way to implement sustainable gifting is opting for environmentally friendly wrapping paper. Currently, the UK alone uses 227,000 miles of wrapping paper each year. Use reusable bags and choose e-cards over cards ending up in landfills. These small changes can significantly benefit creating a healthier environment, reducing waste and putting even more joy into gifting.

1. For the eco-warriors

This time of year can cause a lot of eco-anxiety, especially for those who are highly planet-conscious in their lifestyle choices. Knowing how to do Christmas with minimum environmental impact is a challenge, but the abundant benefits of sustainable gifting make it worth every effort. Six hundred eighty-eight thousand tonnes of waste end up in landfills at Christmas, including wrapping paper, packaging, and food waste. Choosing gifts from eco-friendly brands like Panda, who consider their carbon footprint at every stage of production, will ensure they enjoy their presents, knowing the planet is being taken care of.

3. For the bathroom diva’s

This is the most indulgent time of year for those who love a pamper. However, coming out of the tub can be chilly. Soft, fluffy Bamboo Bath Towels will keep your loved ones nice and snug as they dry off. And to warm up cold bathroom floors? Our plush, eco-friendly bamboo rug is heaven on feet and an oh-so-fancy Christmas gift to find under the tree. Combining our skin-friendly bath range with natural bath oils and body creams will keep the skin nice and hydrated. Choosing eco-friendly and natural ingredients is better for the environment and tends to be far more gentle on the skin and our planet, which we all need to keep in our hearts this time of year.

4. For the trendsetters

This year, it’s all about making planet-friendly choices from sustainable materials and preloved products. Instead of buying your trendy friends and loved ones new clothes, why not give them vouchers to rent stylish outfits (like the New Year party dress) from preloved stores? Choosing sustainable fabrics like bamboo for bedding PJs and sustainably sourced resources will keep your gifting on trend and help reduce the excessive levels of waste the festive period causes. You can choose preloved products on everything from mattresses to sofas online, browse, and find the trendiest gifts to keep your loved ones and our planet smiling.

5. For the green dreamers

We have the perfect gift for those who love their sleep as much as the planet. Our Hybrid Bamboo Mattress, released early this year, is an eco-friendly bedtime game changer. Made in the UK from responsibly sourced materials, the mattress harnesses the unique properties of fresh bamboo-infused memory foam (BioCell Foam), maximising breathability, while OrthoAlign Foam keeps sleepers in perfect alignment. Seven zones of pocket springs isolate movement for those who share a bed, and the soft, smooth bamboo cover seals the mattress in hypoallergenic, naturally antibacterial comfort. Arriving in fully recycled packaging with free delivery and disposal of old mattresses, every green dreamer is guaranteed a good night’s sleep this Christmas.

Giving back during Christmas

While at Christmas, it’s easy to get swept up in all the fun and chaos – it’s an essential time of year to remember those less fortunate. Making charitable donations can make a big difference to someone’s day. Small donations to homeless charities can help provide the homeless with a hot meal and a place to rest. Donating to organisations like the British Health Foundation can make a big difference to someone’s future. Take a moment to consider where you could give back this Christmas, another way to make the world a happier place at this magic time of year.

A final festive note

Fabulous Christmas gifts aside, if there is one thing we can all give each other more of this season, it is time. With the rush of lights going up and busy stores, it’s easy to forget what Christmas is all about, which is coming together to celebrate. And no matter what we find under the tree, there is no better gift than laughing, eating and being merry with our nearest and dearest.

Have a wonderful Christmas, everyone!
