Mother’s Day Gifts

Betty Boop is one of my all-time favourite iconic figures. She’s cute and sassy with a retro hairstyle and a stylish wardrobe. What’s not to like about her?

So imagine my delight at discovering a whole new range of Betty Boop gifts and collectables at thebrilliantgiftshop.co.uk. They’ve got a great collection of prints, ornaments, toiletries and a whole heap of other Gifts for Her ideas.

The Trolley Dolly looks like one of the most useful things I’ve ever seen! It’s perfect for those without a car or who want to reduce the number of plastic bags they use. It looks great too with a retro cream & chocolate brown disco dot design.

I never though I’d get so excited about a shopping bag but it’s definitely on my birthday wish list!

It’s the kind of shopping bag a superhero would use! You can buy the Trolley Dolly Shopper for £27.95 from Prezzy Box.

I’m a sucker for personalised gifts. They just seem to add that little extra bit of sentimentality to a present. Especially a Mother’s Day gift. Anyway, last chance to order something online in time for mum’s day on Sunday. Hurry!

For just £9.95 this Personalised Cup Cake Latte Mug could be on its way to your mum ready to put a smile on her face and a slug of caffeine in her body.

We’ve been huge fans of Message Muffins for a few years now and we’re really pleased to see the latest additions to the range of edible gifts for sweet-toothed mums across the UK.

Our favourite is the Super Mum Cookie Gram which makes a lovely iced gingerbread treat for Mother’s Day or a birthday and is well within most budgets at just £5.99 which includes UK delivery. There are plenty more gifts to choose from though…

And so on with the task of finding the perfect present for Mother’s Day. I have just spotted this decorative but useful water pitcher which is known as a Gluggle Jug and I think it’s so brilliant I wish I was a mum so I could buy it for myself!

Not only does it look gorgeous, but it can be used as a water jug, a vase, utensil holder and more. The list is only limited by your imagination!

It costs a bargain £24.99 and you can get it delivered right to the door in time for Mothering Sunday.

If you’re not sure what to get Mum on 3rd April for Mother’s Day, it’s always safe to stick to something useful. But I’ve just happened to find a pressie that’s pretty, practical and personalised!

This silver engraved Photo Keyring can be bought from Getting Personal for under £20 too so it should be within most people’s budget, but if it’s a bit on the pricey side for you why not club together with brothers and sisters to get it as a joint pressie.

This has to be one of the most unusual gift ideas I’ve ever seen so I just had to post it for everyone to see.

A pedicure session sounds like a heavenly, relaxing spa treatment until you discover that it’s actually a shoal of itty bitty fish nibbling away at all the dead skin on your tootsies. But at only £25 for a Fish Pedicure it’s a unique gift that won’t break the bank.

Whilst flowers may be a traditional Mother’s Day gift, there’s nothing ordinary about this Lemon Tree. And it’ll produce delicious lemons in the summer months – ideal for adding to a Gin and Tonic whilst relaxing on a hot, sunny day.

Buy a Lemon Tree online for £39.99 – it’ll make a really unusual but interesting present for your mum!

Mother’s Day falls late this year giving us all plenty of time to find the ideal gift to let your Mum know how much you appreciate her! Psst by the way, it’s on 3rd April.

Each week I’ll be featuring a Mother’s Day gift idea to give you some inspiration. This week it’s a special pamper day from Red Letter Days. The ultimate treat at a bargain price.

What Christmas present do you get for the woman who has everything? How about a stylish keyring that doubles up as a personal alarm, or a pedometer for dog lovers, walkers or joggers.

You can now buy several multi-tasking fashion accessories thanks to a company called ila security.

Maplin Electronics

Not an obvious website choice for gift ideas and presents but it’s surprising how much electrical stuff is bought for Birthdays, Christmas, Wedding presents, and Easter gifts.

If you’re on the search for MP3 players, mobile phones, cameras and camcorders, laptops and sat nav systems and all the accessories you could wish for, then Maplins has it all.

Welcome to our regular gift roundups. Our chance to point out useful gift-related articles we have discovered to help you choose the ideal presents for your friends and family. This week we focus on Mother’s Day gifts.

Holland & Barrett

A healthy Pick ’n’ Mix? And one that will definitely be cheaper than Woolworth’s last bag of Pick ’n’ Mix (which sold for a staggering £14,500!)

People always want to look and feel good, so buying presents from a health and well-being shop such as Holland & Barrett isn’t such a bizarre idea as it may first appear.

ThanksDarling

Everyone has heard of Thanks Darling. It’s a well known name when you’re looking at buying gift experiences as a present.

Sandedge are offering a truly unique gardening prize in our latest competition. Bringing wheelbarrows well and truly into the 21st century, this marvellous invention is a folding wheelbarrow.

Not only does it fold up flat so it can be stored in even the smallest gardens, but it can also come with this unique carrot design unlike the boring green metal wheelbarrows of yesteryear.
