Thoughtful Surprises For Your Mum This Mothers Day
2022 is the year to level up your Mother's Day present! Start looking for something a little different and surprise her! Preloved has a brilliant array of categories for gifts, all unique and perfect for you mum! So walk through with us as we go through some thoughtful surprises for your mum this Mother's Day! Let's be honest we all know she deserves it.
Surprise Gift For Your Mum!
Treating your mum to something unique or homemade is what truly makes a Mother's Day extra special. Now that we are getting older we can't quite get away with a handmade card and an old gift re-wrapped. Not going to lie, I miss those days! Whilst we still work on our time machine have a look through our list below and see what we suggest for you to get for your mum. Even if you don't find something then at least we are offering your some fun inspiration to draw from.
Vintage Jewellery
Preloved is the home to a wide selection of jewellery and every piece is unique in it's own right. The beauty of vintage jewellery is that it normally has a story, you might find a bracelet that had been passed down from mother to daughter, to grandchild. You could stumble across a piece that was bought on holiday somewhere and that country just so happens to be your mum's favourite. Either way I always think of jewellery as an extra special present because if you get the right piece it can be kept and treasured.
A Vase
Flowers are a given for Mother's Day, but have you ever considered what it is that she is putting them in? No? Well a vase, of course! Which makes for a nice and easy gift idea. Not only will your mum be able to show off her flowers but they will also hold CenterStage with a real focal point.
A Herb Garden
With the weather warming up, if your mum enjoys being outdoors why not get her something useful and thoughtful. Extra brownie points if she loves to cook! The most special part about this is you can easier make this for her, or you can do it together. Not to forget with the right care and attention this gift will last forever.
Glassware For Your Mum!
Linking back round to the vase gift there are many others that would be suitable, unique and special gifts for your mum! Whether that's some beautiful crystal cut glasses or, some decorative glass pieces. I personally love whiskey and red wine decanters. Preloved have an incredible array of glassware up for grabs from our sellers.
An Art Print
If your mum collects arts or prints then this is a given. However, even if she doesn't what to say there isn't one that she would appreciate. I recently bought my mum one for the city she was born, it's simple and understated, just right for my mum. It has pride of place in the kitchen. My friends daughter has bought her an array of quirky and funny cartoon prints that are scattered around the downstairs toilet. Each to their own, but it does make me chuckle.
Hair Products
Lets be honest, perfume and make up are a given but sometimes you might just want a bit more. Now we aren't saying you need to go out and get her the new dyson airwrap. Although I don't think she would complain with that gift. What you can do though is have a look at what Preloved have to offer in terms of second hand electronics and get her something from there. This means she'll be able to experiment with some new styles and try something different.
A New Board Game
So long as she isn't the competitive type this can bring hours of fun, not just for your mum but also the rest of the family. Not only is this fun for everyone, it would result in quality family time, and we all know that times like that are priceless. See what retro games we have and you mum might even be taken back to her childhood.
Home Décor
You don't have to get a new furniture piece for your mum to give her a good gift for the house. Something like a cushion or an ornament is enough to bring something new and exciting to the house. Plus if she's house proud she isn't going to want to except your furniture that you know for sure won't match her style. Even if it does. This gift gives you a great chance to be personable, look at getting something that means something, or symbolises a memory you both share.
