WIT mama Friday: Mother's day gift ideas

'To The Moon And Back' Personalised Card £4.50 Not on the Highstreet

To the risk of sounding  a little bit cheesy, I still think the best mother's gift is a lie in with breakfast in bed and later on in life (at least for me with Greta being just 18 months) a little scribbled card.. or just a bunch of flowers. Failing that, here's some of my favourite memento jewellery (complete with 20% exclusive Missoma discount) and some pampering gift ideas. All super easy, all budgets buy-online options that you can forward directly to your boyfriends or husbands...

JEWELLERY

THE ENGRAVED BRACELET or ETERNITY RINGS

1) There is a lovely selection of Mother's Day gifts on Monica Vinader and one of my favourite is the engravable friendship bracelets. Prices start at £75.00 and you can choose from different colour strings and metals which you can have engraved with your childrens names or date of birth, or just a sweet message. 3) Or how about the diamond and gold eternity rings, I have the rose gold one (anniversary present) but gorgeous as a Mother's gift too. 

THE LOCKET

2) I love the idea of a piece of jewellery that is personalised and Astley Clarke currently do a free engraving service. I love this locket that you could have engraved with the name of your children inside -prices start at £150.00 and there are lots of other things to choose from around the £100.00 mark

THE LITTLE TREASURE BRACELET (with WIT exclusive 20% off)

4) The Missoma 'Little Treasures' bracelet in rose gold was actually my chosen Mother's day gift. I love this collection so much and it's such a gorgeous delicate piece of jewellery that you can wear every day. I love the idea that you can layer them as you have more children, choose from the Little Girl, Boy or Angel in 18ct gold vermeil or sterling silver, and between £65.00-75.00 they make a really affordable buy too. But there is more because WIT readers get a special discount for Mother's day only!

PAMPERING

 MANICURE AND PEDICURE

1) One of the best gifts a mum can receive is some pampering time!  A manicure and pedicure at one of my favourite salons in the UK Cowshed would be my ultimate idea of bliss. You can buy E-Gift Certificate and Spa Gift Card online and then get a lovely gift set like this Cowshed maintenance set £19.50 to go with it 2) Liz Earle for a facial would be my treatment of choice. I've had a signature facial recently and can highly recomend it.  You can buy vouchers online or even over the phone.

SCENTED CANDLE

3) A beautiful scented candle always makes a good gift and something you wouldn't necesairly buy for yourself. I love this limited edition candle from Dyptique. Diptyque Insolite Candle Limited Edition £45.00

FOR A MUMMY TO BE

4) You could congratulate an expecting mummy to be with this perfect gift for pregnancy. Containing a trio of Bloom and Blossom’s must-have, full sized, pregnancy products and presented in a beautiful presentation box, complete with pretty ribbon tie. Contents: Anti Stretch Mark Cream (the only oil I would use during my pregnancy- I loved it!), Revitalising Leg and Foot Spray, Indulgence Bath Oil. Bloom and Blossom Mother To Be Trio Set  £45.00
