Treat your mum, a new mother or your grandmother to a thoughtful gift on 14 March
Mother’s Day is just around the corner, and as we know deliveries and post are under pressure in lockdown, it’s time to start planning. Here are some gift ideas to make mothers you know feel special, whether you’re shopping for your pal or your own mum.
Gift ideas:
A classic box of chocolates is always appreciated. Lily O’Brien’s have a cute shoebox hamper, which contains six of their most popular chocolate collections.
Luxurious loungewear is a perfect gift for a hardworking mum.
Made in partnership with Irish family business White & Green, Max Benjamin’s Gift of Sleep includes the Sleep Tight pillow mist with lavendar and chamomile along with a silk eye mask. The set also includes a shea butter hand cream to keep by her bedside.
Gift her with a special reminder to practise mindfulness with a print from Delving Within. Founded by mindfulness teacher Jane O’Loughlin, this business creates framed inspirational quotes around finding joy in small moments. The prints are printed in Dublin and the wooden frames are handfinished in West Cork, with a choice of six quotes and four colourways to choose from.
For something a little different, enjoy a virtual wine tasting with The Nude Wine Co. The winetasting costs €75 per household and you will receive a bottle of organic cava, vinho verde (white) and ripasso valpolicella (red). The presentation and delivery charge are included, and the wine is delivered to your home before the event. There is a prize for the best dressed on the evening of a bottle of Bollinger, and everyone on the call will be entered into a draw for a Mother’s Day Gift Box and vegan LANDA pouch. Book here.
