Last Minute Mothers Day Gifts | Amanda Zips It Up

Top presents for mum, nan and mother figures in general – and all in a shopping mall near you. You have till Saturday to get this sorted!

MOTHERING SUNDAY is the perfect time to show mum how much you really care.

If you prefer treating your mum to a day out, a special afternoon tea is a great way to show your appreciation. Or you can keep things simple with a traditional flower delivery — or better yet – a monthly flower subscription, which I would love my kids to buy me.

Below, I’ve found some top gifts to get you inspired and win you brownie points galore.

Luxury Afternoon Tea for Two

You simply can’t go wrong with some quality time with mum over an afternoon tea – or even some bubbles and cucumber sandwiches. Spending an afternoon with your mother, step-mum, grandmother, or other parental figure in your life is arguably the greatest gift, you can give this Mother’s Day.

This deal can be redeemed any time over 12 months, after it was purchased, and at a variety of locations across the UK. So simply get your diaries in sinc.

Autograph Leather Clutch Bag

A bag is always a great idea. If you’re taking your mother out for Mother’s Day, or if she is always looking for a new accessory for special occasions, this stunning luxe looking Clutch Bag will go down a treat.

Made from real leather, it is soft and supple, yet durable, and perfectly sized to fit all your mum’s essentials. The folded flap is a more elevated look for a black clutch bag. It is fitted with a side strap in case you want to slip through your wrist to keep a hold of, you can prop under your arm, or simply hold in your hand.

One thing is for sure, this bag will be the perfect accessory for any look, day or night

Shark FlexStyle Air Styling & Hair Drying System

All mums love a nice hairdo. But they frequently settle for 20 year-old Babyliss hairdryers which sound like they conked out yonks ago. Of course, Dysons are the don – but just so expensive.

So, why not splash out a little on Shark’s FlexStyle, which is roughly half the price of Dyson. You can dry your hair, blow dry it straight, opt for a bouncy blow dry, curly, or style your curls with a diffuser.

Similar to the Dyson Airwrap, the Shark FlexStyle comes with two barrels, which rotate to style your hair into ringlets, while the funnelled attachment is ideal to tame flyaways, for a sleek straight do.

The bristle brush attachment, is ideal for those wanting a salon-like blow dry, while the diffuser is perfect for those with curly hair.

Dressing Gown

The dressing gown is a great gift for Mum, Grandma or her indoors. Because whether we like to admit it or not, all women love a cosy dressing gown.

M&S have the best selection of nightwear, loungewear, and bedding, so if your mum loves a Sunday lie in, or simply getting cosy after a long day’s work to watch her favourite soaps, you can’t go wrong with anything from this high street favourite.

UGG Scuffette Sheepskin and Suede Slippers

Ugg slippers are high on our wish list, and our present list for gifting to someone else, especially mums. This classic style is comfortable, thanks to the fur-lined inside, yet cushioning on the sole of your feet.

The base has grooves to provide a non-slip base for the wearer, which is super important.

The Ugg Scuffette slippers come in a range of colours, from chestnut, espresso to black, thundercloud and lighthouse, so you can find the perfect colourway to suit their style preferences.

A Bouquet of Flowers

Mother’s Day is not complete without a bouquet of flowers. Whether you’re looking for specific flowers, or are on a budget, flowers say it all.

You can also personalise your gift and add extra gifts to your bouquet too, including a bottle of wine, or something a little more luxe in the form of champagne, chocolates, or even a vase to ensure your mum has something to house the flowers in, and much more. These companies will deliver on the same day of order, so it isn’t too late.

A Floral Round Neck Midaxi Tea Dress

M&S has an impressive range of clothes for women, and a variety of own brands to shop, including Autograph and Per Una, but it also stocks other retailers, such as Phase /eight, Nobody’s Child and more.

Midi dresses aren’t going anywhere fast, and this Floral Round Neck Midaxi Tea Dress, which boasts a stunning spring floral print, is a great gift for mum.

It falls mid-way down the calf, and has three quarter length puff sleeves, which is super flattering for any body shape.

Gucci Bamboo Eau De Parfum

A timeless classic.

What better gift to give on Mother’s Day than a best-selling perfume?

Gucci has an array of fragrances for men and women, but the Gucci Bamboo is a popular choice and Mum is sure to love it.

Gucci Bamboo is a sweet and light fragrance, which will last for hours, but is not overwhelmingly potent or too sickly sweet – the perfect balance if you ask us.

With over 267 flowing reviews, this perfume is certainly one to snap up for any gift giving occasion if you ask us.

New Balance Trainers

Is your mum constantly running errands?

We know mums are constantly on the go, whether it is the school run, running errands, whizzing round supermarkets for the food shop, heading to after school clubs, and that’s probably all before their working day begins.

With that in mind, why not treat your mum – and her feet – to some comfortable, durable and oh so stylish trainers to help her complete those tasks with ease?

New Balance are one of the brands of the moment, and one we can’t get enough of, so we predict your parent will go head over heels for them too.

There are plenty of designs and styles to choose from, with New Balance’s 550 style being a huge hit with Gen Z, but I also love the 327 style, which resemble a running trainer and provide optimum comfort and support for your mum.
