Create a Spa Day at Home

A day at the spa can be very relaxing but the price tag can be pretty stressful. However, you can put together a wonderful, relaxing spa day from the comfort of your own home with your Mum. Start by setting your home up to curate that perfect atmosphere; dim the lights, get the candles out, and pop on some spa music. 

Begin with a warm foot soak infused with essential oils or bath salts, followed by a gentle exfoliation. Offer a DIY facial using natural ingredients like honey and yogurt, and apply a cooling cucumber mask. A hand massage with a rich moisturizer adds a luxurious touch.

If you want you could pick up some mule slippers or a new cosy robe for your Mum at Marks and Spencer to get her in the mood. You could also head to Boots to pick up some face masks such as the Garnier Moisture Bomb Hydrating Face Mask and Brightening & Super Hydrating Vitamin C Sheet Mask, or grab the Sanctuary Spa Petite Retreat Gift Set, which features body wash, scrub and more!

Baking is always a winner—surprise your mum with a batch of her favourite cookies, beautifully decorated cupcakes, or even a homemade cake. You could also make a personalised recipe book filled with family favourites.

For crafty gifts, consider making a handmade photo album, a personalised candle, or a decorated flower pot with a plant she’ll love. 

If you enjoy knitting or sewing, a cosy scarf or an embroidered handkerchief can add a sentimental touch. Whatever you choose, a homemade gift will always be more meaningful and cherished!

When is Mother's Day 2025?

In the UK, Mother's Day falls on Sunday, 30th March in 2025. Unlike the United States, the UK follows the Christian tradition of Mothering Sunday, which means it is always celebrated on the fourth Sunday of Lent. As a result, the date for Mother's Day always changes depending on the timing of Easter each year.

Regardless of your budget, remember your gift will be special no matter what. If you're looking for other gift options for Mother's Day, you can check out our Mother's Day Event Page.
