Mother’s Day Is Coming Up…

Did you know that Mother’s Day is the 19th March 2023? It’s a celebration honouring the mother of the family, as well as motherhood, maternal bonds, and the influence of mother’s in society. In short – it’s a day dedicated to showing the maternal figures in our lives, just how much they mean to us!

Therefore, we are going to be sharing some great second hand gift ideas for the important women in your life.

Second Hand Gift Ideas

Due to the current cost of living in the UK, you may be limited as to how much you can set aside to budget for Mother’s Day this year. Which is why it’s the perfect time to explore shopping second-hand! You can grab some great bargains, and it’s also more sustainable to shop second-hand and help keep unwanted items out of landfills. If we’ve got you thinking about shopping second-hand, look no further than Preloved for the perfect Mother’s Day gift!

Clothes
On Preloved, lots of our members list clothes, in great condition, being either new or hardly worn. So you could get your mum some new bits to spruce up her wardrobe for Spring! With occasions like Mother’s Day, it’s best to buy gifts that people wouldn’t usually buy for themselves. Maybe your mum is lucky enough to be a mother of the bride this year?! If so we have loads of great options for them to almost steal the show… If you think your mum would appreciate a new garment or two, check out our clothes listings!

Jewellery
Jewellery is a staple for occasions like Mother’s Day. We think that it’s a sentimental gift that pretty much any mum would appreciate. The best part of buying someone you love second hand jewellery is if you do your research then you can get some great finds that last a lifetime for a fraction of the price. From earrings to necklaces to bracelets, we have plenty of second-hand jewellery listings and you’re bound to find something that your mum will love.

Accessories
Whether your mum prefers bags, shoes or sunglasses – we have lots of second-hand accessories listed on our website every single day. Not to mention that she most definitely does NEED a new bag and some sunglasses (wink wink). There’s something for everyone on Preloved, and you can save yourself some money by shopping second-hand, all whilst being sustainable!

Health & Beauty
Mums are notorious for forgetting self-care… And we can’t say we blame them! They’re so busy looking out for everyone else, that they are bound to forget to look after themselves sometimes. Our health and beauty section is perfect for giving your mum the gift of self-care this year. Lets make sure that we don’t miss out the real pamper equipment when it comes to health and beauty. Why not invest in a face steamer? or handheld massager?

Some Activities For Your Mum on Mothers Day

Now you know your mum best so we can’t tell you exactly what to do on Mothering Sunday. However we thought to help we’d pull together some ideas for you. That way you can pick the one that suits you and the maternal figure in your life best!

  • Get Outside – Whilst we are experiencing some chilly weather this week, next week is brightening back up and we hope to have spring officially sprung!
  • Get Your Game On – Is your mum mildly competitive? Why not play her favourite board game then, even if it might be your least. Remember you don’t have to let her win though just because it’s Mother’s Day, although it might suit you better to do so.
  • Get Cooking – Breakfast in bed is a classic staple for Mother’s Day, why not go one step further and make a Sunday dinner too? Too ambitious? Maybe stick to the cereal and milk for now and make sure that you don’t burn the toast!
