With 15 March fast approaching, it’s officially time to start thinking about Mother’s Day gifts. The good news? Plenty of brands have already begun launching mum-coded pieces. If you’re thinking, “I have no idea what to get my mum this year”, you’re not alone. Finding something that feels a little different and still thoughtful isn’t always easy, especially when inspiration is in short supply.

But you needn’t worry. I’ve curated a list of gorgeous Mother’s Day gifts categorised by personality; whether she’s a devoted workaholic or a homebody at heart, a trend-lover or fitness enthusiast, or something entirely different. Better yet, you can shop every item in my gift guide at John Lewis.

In my opinion, John Lewis is the very best destination for meaningful, premium Mother’s Day presents, thanks to the breadth of brands and products on offer. As ever, there’s thousands of mum-centric products for under £25 at the iconic British retailer, but my selection is for those gifts that you want to spend a little extra on. 

Below, see my top premium Mother's Day gifts for the maternal figure(s) in your life, no matter their personality.

For the busy mum...

Dyson Airstrait™ Hair Straighteners, Ceramic Pink

Editor's note

Busy mums will know just how challenging it can be to leave the house with decent hair in the morning. But the Dyson Airstrait in this gorgeous pink colourway is the gift to totally change that. It’s easily my favorite recommendation this year because it genuinely solves the 'wet-to-dry' struggle without the heat damage of traditional plates. Your mum (and her hair!) will love you extra.

For the skincare-obsessed mum...

Shark CryoGlow FW312UK Under-Eye Cooling & LED Anti-Ageing & Blemish Repair Mask, Blue Frost

Editor's note

The Shark CryoGlow is the ultimate skincare gift for any beauty-obsessed mum. It’s a dermatologist-inspired powerhouse combining iQLED technology with InstaChill cooling. Whether she wants to tackle fine lines, clear blemishes or depuff tired eyes, the four targeted modes deliver visible results in minutes. Plus, it’s chemical-free and the smart remote even tracks the skin's progress. Consider it the ultimate high-tech mummy glow-up gadget.

For the beauty junkie mum...

Editor's note

For a mum that's forever adding new products to her beauty arsenal, no gift comes as coveted as John Lewis' limited edition Mother's Day Box. The curated collection of 14 beauty treats is themed by rest and recharging, from famous brands including Dermalogica, Jo Malone London and Estée Lauder. The contents is worth £301, but the box costs just £60. 

For the stylish mum...

Coach tabby bag in denim blue hue

Editor's note

A modern take on an archival Seventies Coach design, this velvety soft suede bag is perfect for mums who have always been fashion-forward. The denim hue is unique enough, but will still pair effortlessly with most of her existing wardrobe. Finished with the British’s brand's signature hardware, this bag is very versatile with three detachable straps to carry by hand, wear snug on the shoulder or go hands-free with a crossbody moment.

For the homebody mum…

neom candle with box

Editor's note

NEOM’s Three Wick Scented Candles are a failsafe gift for mums that love a cosy evening at home. And the new It’s All Rosy fragrance is the one you want to buy this Mother’s Day. It is a blend of 11 essential oils, including rose and geranium, specifically crafted to uplift mood. I think it’ll become your mum’s go-to for instant inner peace and a 100% natural way to find relaxation.

For the mum who loves baking…

John Lewis x Anine Cecilie Iversen
Fine China Butter Dish, White/Multi

Editor's note

Part of the stunning John Lewis x Anine Cecilie Iversen homeware collection, this fine china butter dish has an exclusive floral design created by the artist. If your mum often spends her weekends baking sweet treats, what gift could be better than this limited edition, and oh-so chic, piece of kitchenware?

For the wellness enthusiast mum…

Oura ring product shot

Editor's note

You’ve likely heard lots of chatter about the Oura Ring, which is fast-becoming a coveted gadget for wellness enthusiasts. The fourth generation of this gismo has an updated all-titanium design that provides insights into over 30 biometrics – including sleep, readiness, activity, heart health, stress and women’s health. Whether your mum is an active woman, or the health aficionado in your life, you’re guaranteed to become her favourite child with this gift.

For the trendy mum...

New balance trainers

Editor's note

For a mum renowned for keeping up with fashion trends, the New Balance 530s in Sea Salt/Grey are a total win. They perfectly blend Nineties nostalgia with comfort, and I reckon they’ll become a solid feature in her trainer rotation. The leather-blend finish adds a premium edge to the retro silhouette. Plus, the versatile neutral palette ensures they'll go with everything in her wardrobe.
