Finding the best Mother’s Day gifts is no mean feat but it’s worth putting in the effort to see a smile light up Mum’s face when you get it right. Sure, we can do no wrong in our mother’s eyes but getting her something you know she’ll love brings a special kind of joy to the occasion. While we can never repay Mum for all she’s done for us, we can start by finding the perfect gift for her.
The secret to a good Mother’s Day gift? An experience! Experience gifts continue to grow in popularity year after year, with one-third of those celebrating Mother's Day in 2025 planning to give a gift of experience*. So, forget the standard flowers, chocolates and candles. This year, get Mum an experience that celebrates her individuality and sparks her passion. Better yet, join her for the experience and strengthen bonds while sharing laughs.
2025 is all about valuing what truly matters—experiences over things, connection over possession. And this ultimate Mother’s Day gift guide is here to inspire you with gift ideas for Mum for the next decade and more!
