There are many ways to celebrate Mum on Mother's Day from making her breakfast in bed to giving her flowers. This year put a cute twist on old favourites or create something totally new she will love for years to come. You can get crafty by making something from scratch or buy something from the talented people I have featured.
I've hopefully covered all budgets, tastes and gift ideas for all those different types of Mums from crafty to sentimental. If in doubt Coffee, Wine or Chocolate (or all three!) usually work too.
It’s also been my experience that significant others tend to need to be reminded that Mother’s day is coming up. If you’d like to be recognized this Mother’s Day, email this list as a reminder to someone special.

Make her a special cuppa
We all know Mum deserves probably more than a cuppa but these super cute ways to present her with one were just too cute to ignore.
Jewellery. Simple.
There are no words really. Mum's like pretty shiny things, preferably lots of them but anything pretty and shiny will do.

Support her Hobby
If your Mum loves a little crafting then support her in this by gifting her some supplies, project ideas or help to organise the ones she already has. If Mum has limited space to craft I'm sure she would appreciate a little breathing room to create.

Baking up a storm
If Mum throws together a pretty good banana cake then chances are she loves baking up a storm so some new supplies wouldn't go amiss in her kitchen, especially ones as cute as these.

Give the gift of time out
Sometimes it's the simple things like some time out which is a special enough gift especially for busy Mums who don't have time to think. I'm no psychic but I bet most Mums would have this at the top of their wishlist for Mother's Day.
