4 Great Gift Ideas for Mother’s Day
This year seems to be flying past us at great speed and if like me you have left it until the last minute to even realise it’s almost Mother’s Day, here are four ideas to hopefully get you on track for this Sunday.
Godiva Chocolates
Godiva chocolates are the perfect present for anyone who loves chocolates after all Godiva offer some of the best on the market and are just perfect for a special occasion. For Mother’s Day, there is a number of options perfect for the day, including the Spring Gift Chocolate Selection Box coming in at £25 for 16 pieces.
This pretty little box contains a whole host of delicious chocolates, from Godiva’s, must try signature pralines, to ganaches and caramels to name just a few. The only issue you might find, is I don’t think your Mum will want to share, but then it is Mother’s Day so why should she.
AncestryDNA
Has your Mother ever expressed interest in finding out her heritage, perhaps she is building your family tree and would like to know where your ancestors came from, and even get the chance of being linked to relatives she didn’t know existed.
di
This AncestryDNA kit can provide a personal ethnicity estimate from anywhere between 500 and a thousand years ago and uses information from 26 separate regions to come up with your own personal DNA data.
If this sounds like something your Mother would love, AncestryDNA have a great offer on in time for Mother’s Day, where you can pick up a test for your Mother for just £69 + postage and packaging instead of the normal £79.
NAOBAY
We all know our Mum’s do so much for us and they all deserve a pamper day, but they are often so expensive and often Mum’s seem to have no time to stop and think about even going on one. So why not give them to items to help them relax at home.
NAOBAY are made by a brother and sister team, who have committed to bringing natural and organic products to their buyers, they wanted to offer fun products to people who wanted natural and organic products and I personally think they have succeeded.
Take for instance the Orange Juice Hand Cream, the simple yet eye catching packaging really gives off a luxury feel. While the product itself really does work well, having left me hands feeling soft, nourished and thoroughly pampered.
Hullygood Organic Lavender and Flaxseed Eye Pillow
If your Mum has trouble sleeping then the Organic Lavender and Flaxseed Eye Pillow from Hullygood may well make for the perfect gift. Made for use before bed, this eye pillow lets off the beautiful scent of lavender and flaxseed, while the cool cotton pillow moulds to your eye shape and places gentle pressure on your eyes to help you relax and soothe your senses and mind before you go to sleep.
Having used it for a while now myself, I can definitely say it helps me take a few minutes to try and relax before I tried a drift off into the land of nod.
So there you have 4 great ideas for Mother’s Day this year, what do you think of them, would any be perfect for your Mum?

my mom would love the chocolates from Godiva
The ancestry thing is a genius idea! I’d love to do it myself, it is so interesting to see how far you can trace your family back to.
My mom is so picky, but I know for a fact she’d love the chocolates from Godiva!
My mom would love that beautiful box of chocolates! Great ideas on so many amazing gifts! I am excited to explore these choices for Mother’s Day!
They are absolutely delicious those chocolates, my Mum is a huge fan of them for sure 😉
Those chocolates look so yummy!
I think the eye pillow looks like a great gift also 🙂

The eye pillow is so lovely, it is a great way to relax. x
Find the perfect gift for mom this Mother’s Day that shows how much you appreciate all of the little things she does for you!
I would love to receive AncestryDNA. I’m so curious about those things, what a great idea for mothers day!
The Ancestry DNA kits really interest me, one day I think I’ll take the plunge
Godiva always makes me think of a quote in gossip girl – when asked what she wanted for a gift, Blair replied the 4 Gs – Gold, Gucci, Gerboras & Godiva – jewellery, designer clothes, flowers and chocolates – they are the best chocolates around though!
Well I’d never say no to a box of chocolates thats for sure!!!!
Very cool gift ideas! I think I woudl really enjoy the ancestery gift. It would be unusual, but interesting!
My mum is one tough cookie to buy for and she’s one of those who will say ” don’t waste your money I have all that I need ” same when it comes to christmas only thing my mom appreciates is slippers and anything to do with ladybirds for sentimental reasons
Such a nice idea! I would go for the Godiva chocolates and the eye pillow. Then I think I will add a scarf or accessory maybe and a bouquet of flowers for mom.
I would be very happy with a box of Godiva chocolates on Sunday. I wouldn’t have the share them either would I?! Haha.
Well. My mom has a really sweet tooth, so you can’t go wrong with Goddiva…
Oh that eye pillow! Looks perfect for a relaxing night in… eating the Godiva chocolates haha!
you can nver go wrong with chocolates as a gift
I love them all, especially the chocolates. Interestingly enough, both sides of my family have been doing ancestral research, we’ve gone back to the early 19th century for both.
OOh I love these gifts and need some chocolate right now, this morning is dragging so much!
These are such great and unique gifts. I would quite like the AncestryDNA one myself but I know my mum would love the Lavender Eye Pillow x
Such great gift ideas, and some really fab unique ones too!
Great ideas I alway buy to mine some perfume or flowers. They deserve everything, well we deserve as mum’s. Happy mother’s day to everyone.
Mother’s Day will be here soon enough, which means that it’s time to start thinking about how you’re going to cement your place as your mom’s favorite kid. Obviously you can’t buy a mother’s love—but you can at least grease the wheels by getting her the right gift.
I’m not really sure how safe I feel about the whole DNA bit, but it is an interesting idea. I had heard of the site before, but wasn’t aware they had these kits. Thanks for sharing these ideas – I keep forgetting mother’s day is coming up!
These are great gift idea. I’m so excited for the mother’s day and I’m still finding a perfect gift.
My mom really loves chocolate, last year I gave her a personalized gift.
That Godiva box is so beautiful. I can make such a box, but I can’t make the chocolate… lol!
You had my mouth watering with the chocolates. I saw the ancestry pack and I literally laughed out loud and thought, “I’ll stick with the chocolates” these are all great gifts!
Great ideas! Hmm… I want the Godiva chocolate as a gift for mother’s day! Going to give a hint to my daughter on what to get me.
I love your suggestion, and yeah, Mother’s Day is fast approaching, need to prepare as early as now
Oooh thank you – my family have been struggling with finding me something but that eye pillow is a fantastic idea. We had them on our yoga retreat and I loved them.
These all sound like amazing Mothers Day gifts, My mum would love to get the ancestry DNA as she is very interested in the family tree.
It is so interesting isn’t it I can’t wait to get my results back will do a full post then.
Great ideas you got! Oh it’s getting near, I always want it to be special for my mom. I think the Organic Lavender and Flaxseed Eye Pillow is perfect for her 🙂
This year is going by so quickly isn’t it! The eye pillow is lovely, so relaxing.
some nice ideas here! I think we might go the photo route with the grandma’s (my wife and my mom’s) and I might treat my wife to a refreshing hotel stay or getaway for her solo for a night to just relax!
They sound like some amazing ideas 🙂 I hope they like them.
Fantastic ideas! Love the thought of tracing my family line through AncestryDNA. That’s a great gift!
I am so interested by that I did have one for review from another company last year but I didn’t rate it and didn’t blog it because of that.
These are really great gift ideas! I can’t believe it is almost Mother’s Day! I got to start figuring out what I am going to get my mom.
It is crazy how quickly this year is going by isn’t it!
I love all the suggestions here 🙂 I think all of the picks would be great!
Fabulous selection! I’d love to try out that eye pillow, looks fab! x
I was amazed how relaxing it was, so nice to lay back with it on your eyes.
Godiva Chocolate is perfect, my Mom would love these. I always send her chocolate covered strawberries since I can’t be there on Mothers day! Hard to celebrate mothers day when my family is so far away, but we talk on the phone for hours and that is the best! you have some really great idea’s for mothers day her that any mom would love
You can never go wrong with chocolates especially fancy ones like Godiva. The ancestor thing looks really interesting, I know it’s something my nan would love x
Godiva are amazing aren’t they just yum!
To be honest, you can’t go wrong with chocolate, EVER. But these are lovely ideas as well. I love that it’s all about taking good care of themselves. Mothers definitely need more of that!
That is so true I am always thrilled with a good box of chocs 😉
Godiva definitely make the best chocolates for Mother’s Day! Theres such a fabulous selection available xxx
They have some amazing choices don’t they I always love seeing the new boxes they bring out.
Exquisite selection -id love any of these – and I’m sure everyone would too
I have to admit I think my mum would like any of it as well.
Wow! What great gifts for a mom! Who doesn’t love Godiva chocolates? I really think all you listed above is outstanding!
They really are some of the best aren’t they x
Brilliant ideas. i’m not a mom but i’d want some of these. My mom would have to take my virtual love as i’m far away and broke..lol
Sometimes all they need to know is you remember them and love them 🙂
This gift guide is great as there are some really good items on there x
These are all great ideas I think any mother would love! My mom in particular would love to receive some fancy chocolates since she doesn’t often treat herself.
There is nothing like a box of expensive chocs is there.
I would love that box of chocolates for moms day. I need to drop hints to my kids.
Yes do they are absolutely yum!
My foster mum loves chocolates and Godiva has some amazing choccies, what a good mothers day present x
They do some absolutely delicious choices don’t they x
Those are great ideas that all moms will love, including myself! I would love a box of Godiva chocolates or orange juice hand cream! I know very little about my ancestors, so that would be a great gift idea, too.
Hoefully you might find one of them for yourself this year 😉
What great items, I would love the chocolates myself, my Mum is not a huge chocolate lover so a perfect way for me to have them :). I am very intrigued by the Ancestory DNA kit that looks like an amazing present to have. The hand cream would be great for my Mum as she is never far from some and has it all around the house, and who wouldn’t like the eye mask. Great ideas thank you x
Once I have the results back I’ll do a bigger post about that for sure but with the offer I thought it was good to get it up before Mother’s Day as well.
I love the DNA idea. Since Mum had a stroke last year she talks so much more about characters from her childhood that I never knew existed. It’d be lovely to learn more.
I wish I had got my gran to write her stories down now it’s amazing the things people know!
My mum would definitely love the chocolates! I’m taking her for an afternoon tea this year x
Oh yum that sounds lovely have a great time!
I would be happy with any of those. The Godiva chocolates sound YUMMY!
They are delicious a must try for anyone.
been trying to think of things to get mum for this day for ages!
Brilliant ideas, thank you, I would be happy to receive most of these as well as give them!
