Mother’s Day is on 30 March this year, so make sure you treat your mum right with one of these delectable foodie gifts.
While we like to think we treat our mums (and the other mother-like figures in our lives) like the queens they are all year round, come Mother’s Day, it’s nice to let them know just how much we love them with a special gift.
But what to get her? If your mum’s particularly tricky to buy for or you’ve just hit a bit of a roadblock this year, we say: when in doubt, go for food.
Whether it’s chocolates, biscuits, wine or cheese, who could be disappointed receiving a gift they can eat or drink? Sweet or savoury, nibble-able or sip-able, big or small, a foodie gift is the perfect way to say, “Thank you – here’s a treat on me.”
For inspiration, we’ve found nine foodie presents that are perfect for gifting this Mother’s Day.
Biscuiteers cosmo and blooms gift box
What’s better than flowers? Flowers she can eat, of course! Hand-crafted at Biscuiteers’ London bakery, this letterbox-sized gift is perfect for sending to your mum if you can’t be with her on Mother’s Day. The iced chocolate biscuit is accompanied by a Nio pre-mixed cosmopolitan that will surely brighten her day.
Cutter & Squidge Mother’s Day afternoon tea at home
With Cutter & Squidge’s afternoon tea in a box, your mum can enjoy all the decadence of an afternoon tea in the comfort of her own home. This box is bursting at the seams with pesto pinwheels, cheddar cheese scones and red onion chutney, raspberry and white chocolate scones with clotted cream and strawberry jam, lavender and honey loaf cakes and breakfast tea to wash it all down.

Fortnum & Mason chocolossus biscuits
If you think nearly £25 for a tin of biscuits sounds like a lot, you’ve never tasted Fortnum & Mason’s chocolossus biscuits. The luxurious treat is a supersized version of F&M’s popular macadamia nut biscuit smothered in a generously thick layer of dark chocolate. In fact, each biscuit is 63% chocolate. You’ll just have to hope she shares them with you.
M&S Mother’s Day breakfast in bed hamper
This M&S hamper provides all the makings of the perfect breakfast in bed, which is surely the best gift of all. It includes fruit and nut granola, Greek yoghurt, English muffins, Scottish smoked salmon, cream cheese and a bottle of pre-mixed mimosa. A feast worthy of any mother.
School of Wok full-day introduction to dim sum
If your mum prefers to be in charge of the cooking, she’ll love learning how to make authentic Chinese dumplings at the School of Wok. As well as learning about the history and cultural significance of dim sum, she’ll develop essential kitchen skills that will help her to craft perfectly moreish mouthfuls of dim sum.
