4 Gift Ideas for Mother’s Day

Celebrate the mums and mother figures in your life with a gift that feels personal. Here are four ways to fill a Sun Jellies bag with things she’ll love.

1. Pick treats for her favourite hobby

For a keen cook, try a cookbook, handwritten recipe cards or a personalised apron. For a fitness fan, choose a water bottle or soft gym towel. A novel and bookmark make a lovely pairing for a reader, while yarn or craft supplies will delight a maker.

Start with one thing you know she’ll enjoy, then build around it. Choose a bag with enough room for your gifts and a colour she’ll love using afterwards.

2. Make something together

Let little ones create cards, paintings or handmade treasures. A handprint picture, a family drawing or a note about their favourite things to do with Mum adds a wonderfully personal touch.

Tuck their creations into a jelly bag, keeping cards upright so they can be seen. Finish with a ribbon and a homemade tag, and let the children help present their surprise.

3. Bring her favourite blooms

Choose flowers in her favourite colours, whether that’s a cheerful bunch of tulips or a few carefully chosen stems. Keep the bouquet wrapped and let it peek out of a jelly bag for a colourful finishing touch.

Add a handwritten message or a small box of chocolates if you fancy a little extra. Once the blooms have faded, she’ll still have a bag to enjoy on shopping trips, days out or around the home.

4. Give the gift of time

Pack a picnic with her favourite sandwiches and a flask of tea, gather beach-day essentials, or choose snacks for a cosy film night. Plan something that suits her, rather than filling the day with activities.

Pop a little invitation into the bag with the date and your plans. It gives her something to look forward to, and makes it clear you’ve taken care of the organising. A few hours together can be the best treat of all.
