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.

Make bath-time paradise

Speaking of luxury, put the ‘pamper’ into her bath time with some simple, fluffy touches. Bamboo bath towels are the most comforting way to get wrapped up after unwinding in the tub. Cosy, plush and stylish- bamboo fibres are ultra-absorbent and durable making bath time bliss. Plus, these towels get softer with every wash. And to turn the whole bathroom into paradise, a bamboo bath rug will keep her feet nice and snug while she dries off and prepares herself for a snuggly night on the sofa.

Create the perfect movie night

Pretty Woman? Shirley Valentine? Pride and Prejudice? Skip the movie queues and uncomfortable seats, and create the comfiest movie night at home. Pop the popcorn, grab the duvet and get comfy. Mum gets to pick; having a home movie night is a great way to spend some quality time together and let her relax. The best bit about staying at home? You get to press pause to top up the tea and chat through half the film without getting told off. Bring on the snacks, get cosy and settle into the perfect night in.

Bonus tips on how to make Mum feel extra special this year

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.

5 Things to Tell Your Mum This Mothers Day

Panda — Mon, 21 Mar 2022 13:00:22 +0000

‘There is no love like a Mothers love’

Once a year we get a day to celebrate the most incredible person in our lives. Mother’s day is dedicated to the superstar who’s been cheering you on since day one and will continue to do so forever. Whatever gift you get your Mum this Mother’s Day, make sure you deliver it with a few words from the heart. Not sure where to start? Here are five things your Mum would love to hear that will go very nicely with some fresh fluffy towels and calm scented candles. Because, of course, no Mother’s day is complete without a bit of pampering.

Remember those days after school seeing her waiting at the gate? The birthday cake she delivered every year with an extra candle? The stories she read you before bedtime? Mums are there for every precious moment, in fact, they are what makes them precious. What better message to pop in her Mother’s Day card this year than a great big thank you? Served with a hug and a cosy gift from Panda will make this year one to remember.

There comes a certain age where we give up the fight and admit, Mum’s do know everything. All those tantrums and insisting she was wrong to seem silly in the light of adulthood. You realise she was on your side all along. Make her smile this year by letting her know she was right about everything. And why not treat her to some deliciously soft, bamboo bed sheets for a luxurious Mother’s Day lie-in. Let’s face it, she’s earned it!

In the business of life, it’s easy to forget to tell your Mum how grateful you are for her strength. Her wisdom. Her affection. Mother’s Day is the perfect day to express your gratitude for how grateful you are for all she’s done. Sending a heartfelt message of gratitude in a lovely card with a snuggly surprise will make her feel special this year. And keep her oh-so cosy!

In the moments you fall down, face a challenge or life gets shaky you can always count on one person. Your Mum will be there to put the kettle on with open arms and an ear to listen. Mum’s keep us going silently in the background while we make our way on our journeys. Mother’s Day is the perfect opportunity to remind her she’s your hero.

Simple, honest and from the heart. These three words are timeless and Mother’s Day is a special day to share them. Whether you do it on a balloon, on a card or on a cake every Mum deserves to be told how much she’s loved on Mother’s Day. And you can show her how much you mean it with a gift from the heart. Whether that’s the set of new towels you know she needs or a silky indulgent eye mask it’s the thought that counts and the love it’s sent with that will truly make her day.

Whatever you give your Mum this year, don’t forget to serve any gift with a big hug or a long phone call. Giving her your time matters more than anything. And remember while Mother’s Day is a great way to show her how much you care, there are 364 other days a year where a simple “I love you” will make her smile.

Wishing you and your lovely Mum a super Happy Mother’s Day!
