Mother’s Day at HAYM: Thoughtful Gift Ideas

Mother’s Day is the perfect excuse to pause, say thank you, and choose something that feels truly thoughtful. Whether you’re celebrating your mum, a gran, a stepmum, a new mum, or someone who’s always been like a mum to you, it’s about finding a gift that suits her.

This year, we’ve gathered ideas around the things she might love to do — from slow mornings with a book to a bit of baking, self-care evenings, or everyday style.


For the Bakers and Home Cooks

For the mums who love pottering in the kitchen, trying a new recipe, or cooking up family favourites.

Think: beautiful pie dishes, sushi sets, inspiring cookbooks, book stands to keep pages open while you cook, and write-your-own recipe books for passing down the classics. A planter for fresh herbs on the windowsill makes a thoughtful finishing touch.

For the Readers

For quiet corners, cosy chairs, and a well-earned moment to herself.

Think: a new book, a soft book sleeve to keep it safe in her bag, a lovely bookmark, a favourite mug, a glasses case, and maybe a little chocolate on the side.
