With Mother’s Day falling on Sunday 30th March this year, you’ve still got a little time to find a thoughtful gift for your mum or motherly figure in your life. From beauty and fashion gifts to flowers and experiences, we’ve got you covered on Oxford Street.
Mother’s Day beauty gifts
Give the gift of self care this Mothering Sunday with a lovely beauty gift set or two. From experience, The Sanctuary Spa gift sets from Boots are always a crowd pleaser, since they include delicious-smelling bath and body products in beautiful boxes that can be kept as mementoes. Lush’s Serenity gift set has everything she will need to slow down and take a moment to pamper herself. If it’s fragrance she likes, try Chanel Chance from The Fragrance Shop or if you’re on more of a budget then The Body Shop’s White Musk duo, which includes shower gel and perfume, is the perfect option. At Superdrug, you can pick up lots of different skincare gift sets like this London Botanical one for youthful skin. And who could resist this Saint Laurent eye shadow palette in the shape of a heart from Selfridges?
Mother’s Day flowers
Flowers are a classic for a reason. They always put a smile on your face, and the Victorians are to be believed, each bloom holds a special meaning too: daffodils for love, carnations for admiration, daisies for hope, orchids for passion etc. Regardless of meaning, they will brighten up the dinner table!
Mother’s Day fashion gifts
There is no age limit to style, and luckily Oxford Street is the perfect place to shop some great fashion, no matter your mother’s vibe. Some great ideas include a chic Swatch watch, some chic sunglasses from Vision Express, a lightweight scarf from John Lewis, colourful card holder from Kurt Geiger, a suede tote bag from Russell & Bromley and a birthstone gift set from Pandora.
Mother’s Day homeware gifts
If all else fails, a beautiful candle or thoughtful trinket for the home is always a good idea. We love this colourful and retro ‘Hello Spring’ doormat from Matalan, candle and diffuser gift set from Muji, a photo frame – filled with your favourite family photo – from TK Maxx, this hot water bottle from John Lewis and this floral vase from Next. Fill it with some pretty flowers for extra bonus points.
Mother’s Day food gifts
Sometimes, a sweet treat or nice bottle of bubbly is the only way to a woman’s heart. You won’t go wrong with a box of salted caramel truffles from Selfridges, a bottle of Whispering Angel rose wine from John Lewis, a pink prosecco afternoon tea set from M&S, heart shaped cookies from Flying Tiger or a matcha gift set.
Mother’s Day experiences
Spending a bit of quality time together might be the most thoughtful gift of all, so you could always book a nice experience on Mothering Sunday. You could have cocktails, lunch, afternoon tea or dinner at one of the many restaurants on Oxford Street, including Berners Tavern, Bond St Tea Rooms, Alto at Selfridges. If it’s art or immersive experiences she’s into, try The Outernet, or Frameless. For something a little more fun, book a game of crazy golf or play old school arcade games at Swingers or opt for AR axe throwing and karaoke at Boom Battle Bar.
