Mother's Day 2025: 13 gifts she'll actually want, according to social media

Nobody panic, but Mother's Day is rapidly approaching, and suddenly every idea you've ever had for a gift has completely evaporated from your mind.

For something personal

Your mum knows everything about you - but how much do you know about her? These 'From You, To Me' books are popping up everywhere on social media. The concept is simple - you gift this book filled with prompts about your mum's life to her, she fills it in, and she gives it back to you. It's a great activity for her, and you get to learn everything about her that you never knew before. Too sweet.

Personalised Otiumberg jewellery

Personalised jewellery is the must-have accessory of the moment, and if you're looking for something sentimental, luxury London jewellery designers Otiumberg offer personalised name pendants that can be slotted onto a necklace, and you can keep adding to over time.

A DIY plate

If you're on a budget and fancy getting crafty, why not try your hand at ceramic painting? There's plenty of tutorials and inspo on social media (we are in a pottery-painting pandemic, after all), so you can make something truly tailored to your mum's taste.

For the self-care lover

Klean shower head

Water quality can wreak havoc with pretty much everything in our lives - whether it's skin, hair, or cleaning. Klean are transforming the way we shower with their stylish and sustainable shower head solution to hard water, which removes over 90 per cent of chlorine and metals before it reaches us. They're already a hit on social media.

Jo Malone Care Collection

Whether you're team sea salt and wood sage, English pear and freesia, or pomegranate noir, there's a Jo Malone scent for everyone. However, their latest collection might just unite us all, and it's inspired by the 2,000-year-old Roman baths that used to be all over the UK. The Care Collection, exclusive to Selfridges, introduces seven new wellness-led products inspired by the different rooms of those baths and the emotions evoke. We'll take the lot.

Sustainable (and cute) gym wear

BAM are changing the way we dress for the gym, whether you're into cardio, strength, or pilates. Their bamboo-made clothes are not only stylish, but functional, soft, and sustainable too. Every mum deserves at least one of their fleeces.

New PJs

Any fashionista will know supermarkets have massively levelled up their game when it comes to clothing - and nightwear is no exception if some of the biggest viral videos of the year are to go by. If you're lacking inspo this Mother's Day, head down to your local Tesco, Sainsburys, or M&S, and prepare to be pleasantly surprised. Just don't accidentally go shopping for yourself instead...

The White Company heated blanket

Summer might be on the horizon, but we've still got a way to go, and we're making every excuse possible to secure one of these cosy, heated blankets from The White Company for Mother's Day...so we can use it too.

For the mum who has everything

A Lego bouquet

What's better than real flowers? Flowers that will last forever, of course! That's probably why Lego's floral bouquets have become a viral hit over the last few years, and they've added even more to their collection for 2025. We're already eyeing up a mini orchid.

Dimple Amani gift voucher

2025 is the year of wellness, so what better way to hop on the trend than with a gift voucher for a celeb-fave treatment powered by the ancient secrets of Ayurveda? Dimple Amani has made a name for herself in London's affluent Knightsbridge for her lymphatic drainage treatments that sculpt, de-bloat, and leave you feeling glowing, and she now even has a clinic inside the iconic Liberty.

For the beauty guru

Haus Labs Glassy Highlighter Balm

Haus Labs is dominating the beauty scene right now, and their newly-release Glassy Highlighter Balm is hitting all the right notes on TikTok, for its ability to deliver an ethereal glow that not only looks great, but contains 64 per cent skin-loving ingredients.

For the host with the most

Le Creuset Berry Petal casserole dish

Just when we thought we couldn't love Le Creuset any more, they've taken two of their best-sellers and combined it to create one limited-edition icon: The Petal casserole dish in the shade Berry. Flowers and pops of pink are notoriously synonymous with Mother's day - we're just saying...

Kitchen Aid walnut stand mixer

If you're already planning up what tasty treats you could whip up for your mum on Mother's Day, we've now found you an excuse to buy Kitchen Aid's sell-out walnut and khaki version of its iconic stand mixer. When we thought the legendary kitchenware couldn't get any more chic, this quiet luxury version of their multi-purpose mixer found fame thanks to Nara Smith, and now we simply all need one.
