We have broken down the process that you should go through when picking a gift, it will make the whole experience much easier and you might just find that you are better at this than you may think.

Think about what they like

Put yourself in your mum’s shoes. Besides from cooking and cleaning what does she like? Is she a fan of music? Does she enjoy art? These are all questions that you need to ask yourself.

Once you have a list of her favourite things to you’ll find it much easier to decide upon the types of gifts that she would love.

Think about places you have visited together

You might be considering purchasing your mum a trip or a day out. However, it can be difficult to think about where to send to her. You don’t have to select somewhere new, think about places that you have been together and you know she loved.

It could be a local restaurant that she can’t get enough of or a previous weekend break destination that she particularly enjoyed. You can’t go wrong with sending her to one of her favourite places!

Think about a budget

Its no use getting carried away with ideas; be realistic. If you have a budget make sure it is clear in your mind when thinking about gift ideas. You’ll save yourself a lot of time!

Make the gift look personalised – even just the card

Adding that personal touch can really show that your gift comes from the heart. Even just making your own card or buying personalised wrapping paper online will show that you have put some real thought into the gift.

A few Mother’s Day gift ideas

Now that you know more about the process behind selecting the right Mother’s Day gift, here are a few examples to get you started.

A hair day

Nothing will make your mum feel more special than a day at the salon to give her a new or refreshed look. She’ll come out feeling and looking a million dollars!

Now, if you are on a budget you are probably thinking about the huge hole this gift could leave in your pocket, but there are affordable ways of doing it whilst still giving your mum a great day.

Send your mum for a day at a hairdressing academy rather than a salon. She’ll still get expert attention, it’s just that the stylists are still training and haven’t received their full qualifications just yet. That being said, they will be more than capable of providing your mum with a look that will make her happy.

A personalised gift

If you are working on a budget, a small, personalised gift can really hit the spot. After all it is the thought that counts and your mum will love something that has come from the heart. Whether it is a mug with a personal message on or a picture frame with a photo of you and her in, you can be sure that it will make her day.

A London Helicopter tour

London helicopter tours are the perfect way to see the capital from a completely different perspective. It’s one thing to see the famous landmarks from the ground but nothing quite matches the ability to see them from an aerial perspective. Once you’re in the sky you’ll soon see what a massive and unique city London really is – it will be an unforgettable experience.
