Mother’s Day Experience Gift FAQs
How do I choose the right experience for my mum?
The most important thing when choosing an experience for your mum is considering her preferences, hobbies and interests. Does she prefer a day of relaxation over a day of adventure or vice versa? With this in mind you’ll be able to pick an experience that she will really enjoy, whether it’s a day of relaxation in a spa, a trip to a vineyard for wine tasting or luxurious afternoon tea.
What are good experiences to give as gifts on Mother’s Day? Where should I take my mum on Mother’s Day?
Mother’s Day is all about pampering your mum and creating beautiful memories together. This is why popular experience gifts and days out include:

How can I make an experience gift for Mum more personal? How can I make Mother’s Day special?
To make an experience gift extra personal, we recommend adding special touches. One idea is to write a heartfelt note or card explaining why you chose the experience. Another idea is to customise the experience, for example if you’ve booked a spa treatment, ask them to include her favourite scents. You could also create a photo album based on the experience that she can look back on in the years to come.
What should I buy my mum at the last minute?
If you're running short on time, an experience gift is a fantastic last-minute option. An experience gift doesn’t rely on a delivery window and can be used at any time - it’s the perfect choice for a last minute gift that won’t disappoint!
