A Curated Mother’s Day Edit

Mother’s Day in the UK, also known as Mothering Sunday, falls on 15 March this year. If you’re looking for Mother’s Day gift ideas, I’ve created a curated edit built around intention rather than excess, because how we mark the day matters more than how loudly we do it. Whether you’re choosing something for your mum, your partner, a mother figure, or simply thinking ahead for yourself, the tone feels important.

Like many seasonal markers, the build-up and the day itself can feel very different depending on where you are in life. For some, it’s a celebration. For others, it’s complicated. For many, it carries more than one emotion at once.

There are people who are estranged from their mothers. Those whose mothers are no longer here. Those who longed to become parents but couldn’t. Those navigating relationships that are layered rather than straightforward. This time of year tends to bring all of that closer to the surface.

Thoughtful Mother’s Day Gift Ideas

If you are marking the day, I’ve created a curated Mother’s Day edit built around intention rather than noise. These aren’t gifts for the sake of it, but pieces that feel considered and useful — gifts that support everyday life rather than simply filling space.

Within the edit, you’ll find wellbeing rituals that support from the inside out, thoughtful home pieces that bring calm, beauty favourites that feel restorative rather than rushed, and books or small comforts that invite pause.

For example, Oliverum Bath Oil — the kind of product that turns an ordinary evening into something more intentional. A Space Masks moment when the day has been full and your eyes (and mind) need rest, or a calming home fragrance or candle that subtly shifts the atmosphere of a room as the light fades.These aren’t about extravagance, but about considered luxuries — chosen carefully and used often.

Everything is gathered in one place, whether you’re choosing something for someone you love or something for yourself.

Choosing Intention Over Noise

There can be pressure around this day — to organise something significant, to say the perfect thing, or to show up in a particular way. But what I’ve learned through motherhood, work, loss and simply living is that consistency matters more than spectacle.

Sometimes the most meaningful way to acknowledge this day is privately: a walk on your own, a long bath, a book you’ve wanted to read, a small gift to yourself, or simply allowing whatever emotions arise to be there without judgement.

Mother’s Day can look very different depending on your stage of life. It’s allowed to feel joyful, tender, complicated, or all three at once. You don’t need to perform.

I do miss the homemade cards and the excited chatter in the kitchen as breakfast was made with more enthusiasm than skill. Those years were full and noisy and exhausting in equal measure.

But I equally value the stage we’re in now — conversations with my children in their twenties, watching them navigate university life and adulthood, seeing who they’re becoming. Each season of parenting brings its own highs and its own worries, but it is deeply rewarding. I feel a genuine sense of privilege to witness it.

However you spend the day, I hope you feel seen and valued right where you are. I also hope you feel proud of the part you’ve played — and continue to play. It matters more than you think.
