Sensory gifts for Mums who need a mindful break
There are few better ways to relieve stress than by getting out of your head and escaping into your senses. So if your mum is in need of a break, why not give her a gift that does just that? Not only will she appreciate the chance to relax and unwind but these sensational gifts for her are something you can do together!
For a tactile experience gift that allows her to use her imagination and create one-of-a-kind decor for her home, why not try a pottery class? From hand building to wheel throwing, pottery classes are super therapeutic and they give you and your mum the chance to catch up without any distractions.
If you want to get Mum out of her head and into her nose, a perfume making class is sure to be a hit! Not only is it a mindful and fun way for your mum to break free from the humdrum of everyday life, but she also gets her own bespoke fragrance to take home! They say the nose is the key to your memories so give your mum the gift of a cherished memory she can keep revisiting.
For another olfactory experience, candle making classes make for an immersive present for Mum. The best part about a candle making class is that your mum can continue to take mindful breaks long after the class is over. Picture the smile on your mum's face as she plays some music, lights her handmade scented candle and enjoys a little break in her own home. Maybe you can also buy her a ‘Do Not Disturb’ sign?
Paint and sip classes for fun-loving Mums
If you’ve heard of a paint and sip class then you know they’re popular for a reason. When you gift a paint and sip class you get to offer both the invigorating effects of art therapy and the restorative effects of spending time with your loved ones and maybe enjoying a tipple or two. With all that revitalising action, you’re bound to leave a paint and sip class feeling lighter. So whether your mum doesn’t know her Monet from her Picasso or has her own easel in the garden, a paint and sip class is a fun gift for mum this Christmas or Mother’s Day. Invite the whole family along for a lively birthday celebration for Mum!
Woodworking workshops for DIY Mums
If your mum has been known to watch a DIY YouTube video or two and can be found rolling up her sleeves and getting hands-on with a DIY project on the weekends then a woodworking workshop is the perfect gift for her. Plus you can choose the type of woodworking class based on your mum's interests and skill level! Whether it’s something she’s looking to get into with a half-day introductory workshop or a practical lesson in furniture restoration, your mum is sure to appreciate this thoughtful gift.
Delight Mum with a cooking class you can do together
Foodie mums, rejoice! Cooking classes offer a gastronomic adventure for both of you. Explore new cuisines together or master your mum’s favourite. From Thai to Italian, Japanese to Mexican, these cooking classes are sure to transport you and your tastebuds to another world. Plus you can add a new recipe to your cooking repertoire and whip it out every now and then as a treat for Mum. Talk about the gift that keeps on giving!
And for mums who prefer eating to cooking, food and wine tasting experiences will be a hit. Skip the cooking hassle and dive straight into the tasting journey. It's a flavourful bonding experience!
