Seven Mother’s Day bargains for last-minute gifts

It’s a different kind of Mother’s Day this year, and for many of us, we may not be able to see our mums if we live far away from them. It also means many of the local shops we might have supported are also currently closed, though it’s definitely worth checking if you can buy local first!

But if you’re really in a pinch, here’s some of the gifts you can get which should be delivered for tomorrow.

Andover treats

If you’re mum is living in and around town, and you want to get her something tasty, there are plenty of Andover businesses vying for your custom.

If you’re looking for sweet treats, high street favourite Canto Gelato is taking pre-bookings on a range of treats including waffles and crepes for Mother’s Day. However, you have to order by 4pm today if you want to avoid disappointment! For more info, click here.

Other sweet treats are available from Bubblewafflesago, who deliver delicious food including cookies, mini egg slabs and of course, waffles. At the time of writing, there are a few spaces left if you want to get one of their treats, and you can find more info here.

Afternoon Tea Box

Who doesn’t enjoy a good afternoon tea? It’s a staple of British cuisine, and this offering from Morrisons comes with everything your mum could want, including classics such as scones and jam, as well as less common options such as sparkling lemonade and lightly salted crisps.

For £20, the supermarket will do all that and more, and for £5 extra, they’ll give you prosecco too. If you’re really looking to treat your mum, then spending £37 gets you a bottle of champagne to toast your mum’s health.

Next Day Delivery is included in the price, but make sure you order quickly to guarantee a delivery spot.

Birds of a feather

If you’re really struggling, Amazon Prime is always a good way to get things in a hurry.

If you think a picture could brighten up your mum’s day, you can look into getting her some art of a family of penguins.

The artwork is available from street artist Syd, who runs The Stencil Shed, as featured on shows such as Channel 4’s Amazing Spaces.

While the penguins themselves are 2D, the ice they’re standing on is actually another block of wood, producing a 3D artwork that changes from a distance.

If you’re looking for an Antarctic addition to your mum’s house, it’s available on Amazon for £24.50.

Letting it go

Continuing the arctic theme, these ‘frozen’ earrings could be something to bring a bit of sparkle to your mum.

Each pair of earrings is handmade in England and Switzerland, containing silver-plated hooks and available in a variety of different colours and designs depending on what your loved one most likes.

Again available from Amazon Prime, these earrings are available for £12.68.

Scent surprise

If your mum is the kind of person who enjoys a nice relaxing bath with some lovely scents hanging in the air, this beeswax melt could be for you.

Made only from natural ingredients, and infused with geranium and bergamot oil, the advert says the candles will promote “relaxation and reduce feelings of stress”.

Coming in their own gift box, they could be a great choice for your mum, and are available from Amazon for £20. You’ll have to be quick, as they’re selling fast!

Make do and mend

If your mum is feeling a bit crafty (but not in that way), how about a crochet kit to give her something to make for you before you visit next?

The crochet kit from Blue Ammonite Designs features six balls of yarn in a variety of shades, a crochet hook, stich markers and needles, and is suitable for beginners. If your mum has never crocheted before, you can even gift her this new skill!

Instructions are provided to produce your woollen creation, but it’s also an opportunity to freestyle if you’re a bit more experienced.

The Veg Patch Blanket Crochet Kit is available from Amazon for £29.50.
