This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Falmouth chapter.

Struggling for gift ideas for this Mother’s Day? Don’t panic! Here are our top five gifts to give you some inspiration!

1. Indulge

Spoil your Mum this Mother’s Day as you spend the day in luxury at St Michael’s Hotel & Spa, right here in Falmouth. The “Spa Escape” package includes an ESPA back, neck and shoulder massage and an express facial. Relax and unwind as you are granted full use of the many facilities, including a large heated indoor swimming pool, sauna, Jacuzzi, steam room, fitness suite and sun deck. The day also includes a two-course healthy lunch to be enjoyed in The Flying Fish restaurant or on the terrace. This really will be a Mother’s Day to remember! The day costs £85 per person, and although it’s a fairly expensive gift, it really is well worth it. To book, get in touch with St Michael’s Hotel & Spa on 01326 312707.

2. Treasure

If you’d prefer to buy a more personalised gift for your mum, capturing all of those happy memories, then a photo book could be the perfect gift. These books can be made in minutes, but treasured forever. PhotoBox allows you to create a photo book with ease; simply choose 16 of your favourite photos and add your desired caption on each page! Log onto www.photobox.co.uk, as they currently offer special “Book for Mum” photo books; prices start from £16.99.     

3. Surprise

If you’re still at university this Mother’s day and won’t be there to give your Mum a gift, there’s no need to worry! Why not send her a Flower-card? Simply pick a flower bouquet and a card design, add your personal message, and send it to arrive on the day. What a lovely surprise to find waiting at her door! To order yours, go to www.flowercard.co.uk; prices start at £ 16.99.    

4. Treat

If your Mum’s more of a chocolate fan, then why not treat her to one of the many chocolate selection boxes from Hotel Chocolat? Renowned for being the only chocolatier in the UK to grow cocoa on its own plantation, this really isn’t just any chocolate. With more cocoa and less sugar, this really makes for the most delicious of gifts! The “For my Mum Pocket Selection” makes a good accompaniment to any gift! If you think this is the perfect gift for your Mum, go to www.hotelchocolat.com; Mother’s Day boxes start from £9.00.

5. Bake

If you fancy making something for Mother’s Day, for a thoughtful and less expensive option, why not bake? The time and effort you’ve spent toward the gift will be much appreciated! Cookies are a great option, as you can decorate them and finish by putting them in a jar for a more homemade feel. Go to www.goodtoknow.co.uk for baking ideas!

With these gift ideas, you are sure to find something special to give your Mum, no matter what your budget is!
