Mother’s Day Gift Ideas and Presents*

Mother’s Day Gift Ideas and Presents

[Ad-gifted] How is it March already? I can’t believe that we just made pancakes for Shrove Tuesday yesterday and it will be Mother’s Day in a few week’s time. I love March as it is the month of firsts where spring flowers such as crocuses bloom, flower buds start to show, the days stay lighter longer and it is finally time to pack away the thick winter gear for more lighter coats.

Today for our Mother’s Day gift guide, we are sharing some amazing gifts for the woman in your life and how best to say thank you to her.  To start, the Foundry Shallow Cast Iron Casserole from Barbary & Oak is a stunner for mums who love to spent time in the kitchen cooking.  My Regenerative Kitchen by Camilla Marcus is the perfect book for anyone who is vegan, into whole-farm mentality, upcycling food scraps or conscious about reducing food waste.

We often say wine makes a wonderful gift for the woman in your life who appreciates good taste so we are featuring two French wines, Chateau Haut Gléon Rouge & Blanc Wine. Both these wines make a stunning addition to the dinner table if you are treating your wife/partner to a delicious homecooked meal or purchasing it as a Mother’s Day gift for a loved one. For young mums or those who are into beauty, the Luxe Pro 17 Piece Makeup Brush Set from Oscar Charles makes such a beautiful additional to the vanity table.

Luxurious soft nightwear makes a thoughtful gift especially if its made from cotton and bamboo material which is safe, chemical-free, natural and promotes healthier skin as Copper Clothing’s Ladies Copper Pyjamas. Finally, nothing says ‘I care’ or ‘I love you’ as much as personalised photo gifts! So we share a selection of photo gift ideas from Max Spielmann.

Foundry 28cm Shallow Cast Iron Casserole from Barbary & Oak

Two of my most prized kitchenware has to be my stir-fry wok and casserole pan and I can say that all other mums who cook for their families would say the same. Having a selection of casserole pots is important, especially if you are batch cooking or cooking for a party. Today, we are showcasing Barbary & Oak’s Shallow Cast Iron Casserole Pan with Durable Enamel Interior as a Mother’s Day gift idea.

Available in white and green, the 28cm stylish non-stick iron cast casserole pan retails for £59.99.  The durable pan comes with an enamel interior hence making it easy to clean and prevents food from sticking. The cast iron pan retains heat for longer and is a heavy based pan which is made to last. The pan is also versatile and suitable for all hob types and induction compatible so the perfect pan to go from your stove top to oven with the help of its easy to grip handles.

I personally love the shape of the domed lid design, allowing the lid to lock in the heat and moisture to ensure quicker cooking time. I also love the fact that the dish keeps the food warmer for longer when the lid is covered, making it the perfect pan to use when having friends and family around for a meal.

The Barbary & Oak Shallow Casserole Pan (28cm) has a capacity of 2.5L and great way to cook stews, soups, casseroles and curries. The pan also comes with a total of 25 year guarantee when you register the product online. So if you are wondering what to get your partner, wife, mum or mum-in-law this Mother’s Day, why not consider this stunning casserole pan.

My Regenerative Kitchen by Camilla Marcus

I find a book always makes a lovely gift on special occasions such as birthdays, Christmas or Mother’s Day.  My Regenerative Kitchen by Camilla Marcus is a unique book which honours the Earth and teaches us the important of how we can nurture our own health. The author, Camilla shares the true meaning of regeneration, she shares that by finding harmony between our soil and soul, we can make small yet impactful shifts in our cooking and lifestyle to support a healthier planet and the next generation.

The book also shares 100 delicious and healthy plant-based recipes using regeneratively grown ingredients and sustainable techniques. I love that each recipe is loaded with professional tips gleaned from Camilla’s storied restaurant career.  The book contains stunning photography, shot on film by Ben Rosser who celebrates the soul and spirit of California living.

The book  is perfect for anyone who is vegan or into whole-farm mentality, upcycling food scraps and mindful ingredient sourcing and always conscious about reducing food waste in our daily lives.  Some of the recipes featured in the book includes pickles, mains such as Sweet or Savoury Toasty Seeded Granola, Pan-Roasted Leeks with Currants and Pistachio-Sorrel Gremolata, Spaghetti with Tomato and Raw Corn, Kabocha Squash Curry Soup as well as sweets such as Miso Chocolate Chip Cookies and Yuzu Posset amongst others.

The hardcover book retails for £22.29 and you can purchase it directly from Amazon.

Chateau Haut Gléon Rouge & Blanc Wine

I find wines are a great gift to give mums, God-ma, Aunts or the mother figure in your life especially if you are heading over for a meal together this Mother’s Day.  We are showing two fabulous wines, the first Chateau Haut Gléon Rouge Corbieres 2018 and the second Chateau Haut Gléon Blanc Corbieres 2021.

If you are wondering, Château Haut Gléon is an estate with a long and storied history dating back to 1223 and has since been bought over by the Duhamel family.  It is now known as one of the jewels in the Languedoc’s winemaking crown and the estate has been part of the Foncalieu family since 2012. Château Haut Gléon is nestled in the heart of the Corbières in France and benefits from an exceptional micro-climate and terroir, thanks to the natural springs on the estate. This enables the wine growers to create fresh, lively and aromatic wines, the finest expression of the Corbières appellation.

The Chateau Haut Gléon Rouge Corbieres 2018 is a lovely deep ruby coloured wine that has aromas of black fruit, spices, pepper and cocoa and is best paired with mushroom risotto, duck breast, moussaka, meat cooked in sauce or with ripened cheese.

The Haut Gléon Blanc Corbieres 2021 on the other hand is a beautiful medium dry white wine with floral hints (honeysuckle, acacia) and touches of spice (vanilla, cinnamon).  This wine goes perfectly with fine seafood such as scallops, truffle-based dishes or sweet and savoury recipes with pear.

Both these wines make a stunning addition to the dinner table if you are treating your wife to a delicious homecooked meal or purchasing it as a Mother’s Day gift for a loved one. The red wine retails at £16 while the white wine retails at £17 and you can purchase both these bottles from Wine-Searcher.

Max Spielmann Photo Gift Ideas

I love our local Max Spielmann shop as it is always bursting with photo gift ideas which I can create from photos taken with my phone within the hour or in a day or so.  If find that this is a quick and easy way to create wonderful and personalised gifts whilst I meet friends and have a coffee in town. Alternatively, you can easily place your orders online and get it delivered on time for Mother’s Day or choose instore same day/next day delivery to save on delivery charges.

Max Spielmann offers a range of gifts from personalised cushions, photo mug, personalised cards, canvas and wall arts, photobooks, personalised keychains and prints.   If your mum, like mine, lives thousands of miles away from you then you know how important printed photographs are.

So this Mother’s Day I have decided to purchase a selection of items ranging from photo keyrings, photos as well as photo blocks to be gifted to my mum as well as another set for myself.  Prices for the products vary and can start from as little as £0.60 per print for the standard 6×5 photos, while a personalised mug can cost £12.50 and the wooden photo block from £8.50 (depending on the size).  So you don’t have to worry about spending too much money if you are strapped for cash and yet the gifts will be very meaningful for your loved one this Mother’s Day.
