best mothers day food gifts

Mother’s Day falls on Sunday 15 March this year, which means now is the time to start thinking about how you’ll celebrate and show your appreciation.

Finding the right gift isn’t always easy, and while flowers are lovely, they don’t always feel quite special enough. If your mum enjoys discovering new food and drink, loves hosting friends and family, or simply enjoys filling her kitchen with clever gadgets and beautiful pieces, you’re in the right place.

We’ve curated a selection of products we’re currently loving, alongside a few unique finds that are guaranteed to make her feel properly spoiled this Mother’s Day.

From afternoon tea deliveries and indulgent food hampers to drinks and stylish kitchenware, we’ve included ideas to suit every budget. Expect plenty of inspiration, from sweet treats and savoury snacks to great wines and practical kitchen tools she’ll use again and again.

And if you’re after something beyond food and drink, we’ve rounded up even more Mother’s Day gift ideas elsewhere. Or, if you’d prefer a more personal touch, why not bake or cook something special for her this year?

    Ok not strictly food (at first), but if your mum has a green thumb she will love this gorgeous fig tree gift that will last for years and years. Prized for its sweet fruit and fragrant leaves, the fig tree also makes a striking ornamental addition to the garden. Surprisingly hardy, it thrives best in a sheltered, sunny spot or trained against a warm south-facing wall. Growing a fig in a large pot as a free-standing tree offers extra flexibility, allowing it to be moved into a greenhouse during colder months. In cooler parts of the UK, this helps protect it through winter and encourages healthy growth year after year.
