On the JJ Barnes Blog, as Mother’s Day is approaching, and being mother a mum and a daughter, I’m sharing some amazing gift ideas because I know how much we mothers deserve celebrating!
Mother’s Day is just around the corner, and if you’re anything like me, you’re probably scrambling to find the perfect gift that says, “I love you, Mum” without breaking the bank or resorting to the same old bouquet of flowers (though, let’s be honest, flowers are never a bad idea).
Whether the mum in your life is a busy multitasker, a sentimental soul, or someone who deserves a bit of pampering, I’ve put together a gift guide to help you find something special. Here’s my roundup of Mother’s Day treasures for 2025—because she deserves the world, and then some!
Mother’s Day Gift Ideas
Personalised Jewellery – A Keepsake She’ll Cherish
Nothing beats jewellery made just for her. Go for a necklace with her initials, a bracelet with the kids’ names, or a birthstone ring that’s as unique as she is. Add a sweet note, and you’ve got a tear-jerker of a gift.
Featured Item
Say “I love you” with a necklace that’s as unique as she is.

Just click “Customize Now,” pick your colour and stones, and add those special names—it’s that easy.
Crafted from premium, skin-friendly materials that won’t fade, it arrives in a sweet jewellery box (with an option to upgrade for extra wow). Perfect for Mother’s Day, anniversaries, or just because, this timeless piece is a heartfelt hug she can wear every day.
A Cosy Night In Kit – For the Mum Who Needs a Break
For the mum who dreams of peace and quiet, create a “cosy night in” hamper. Think a scented candle (lavender’s my go-to), a soft throw blanket, posh hot chocolate, and a juicy novel or her fave movie. Pop it in a cute basket, and she’ll be thanking you every time she kicks back.
Featured Item

Amazon Echo – A Smart Little Helper
Give her a gift that’s as clever as she is with the Amazon Echo. This compact smart speaker brings Alexa into her life—perfect for playing her favourite tunes, setting reminders for her busy days, or even controlling smart home gadgets if she’s tech-savvy. It’s a one-time buy that adds a sprinkle of fun and ease to her routine, all wrapped up in a sleek little package. Ideal for the mum who deserves a hands-free boost!
Featured Item
Spoil her with the Amazon Echo Show 5—a nifty smart display that’s small in size but big on charm. With its 5.5” screen and upgraded sound, it’s like gifting her a personal assistant who sings. Alexa can play her favourite playlists, pull up recipes for Sunday brunch, or show the weather when she’s planning her day.
The 2MP camera means she can video-call the grandkids (or you!) with a tap, and it doubles as a hub to control smart lights or thermostats if she’s into that. Sleek enough for her bedside or kitchen counter, it’s a thoughtful tech treat for the mum who deserves a little ease—and maybe a dance party too!

Perfect for the mum who loves a crafty challenge, this kit delivers the joy of making something beautiful she can keep or share. Bonus: the candles might just outshine your last gift!
A Memory Book – For the Sentimental Mum
If she’s the type to treasure every scribbled note, a memory book is a winner. Grab a chic scrapbook or photo album and fill it with pics, quotes, and little keepsakes.

A Stylish Tote Bag – Practical Meets Pretty
For the mum always on the go, a chic tote bag is both useful and fab. Look for one with handy pockets, a fun print, or even her initials stitched on. Pair it with a little extra—like a keychain or her fave lip balm—and she’ll be sorted for every errand.
Featured Item
