What do you buy the mother who seems to have everything? Alcohol. It’s the perfect way to show your appreciation, will last longer than a bunch of flowers and can be shared. But rather than settling for the cliched bottle of prosecco, choose one of these high-end gift ideas that are sure to delight.
No.3 Gin
If the lady in your life favours a pure, crisp, refreshing beverage, consider No 3 Gin. Juniper, citrus and spice are the three key flavours (as referenced in its title), contained within a gorgeous sea-green bottle, decorated with an antique style key. It’s been named World’s Best Gin four times and is the first-ever to gin win the Supreme Champion Spirit. So No 3 is sure to be a winner with mother.
Shroton Fair Gin
If mum has connections with Dorset – or has enjoyed holidaying there – Shroton Fair Gin makes for a thoughtful gift, with a great back story. Zummit Dry is a one of a kind recipe, crafted using botanicals that are hand-crushed with a pestle and mortar, then distilled in micro-batches under an Iron-Age hill fort, before being individually labelled and sealed. The gin was inspired by a Royal Bengal Tiger, once exhibited at Dorset’s Shroton Fair in 1767. And the package can be delivered – ideal if you live further field.
Mother’s Day Chocolate Bonbons With Lanson Champagne
Those wishing to combine a boozy gift, with an edible treat, can check out Biscuit Boutique’s special gift. In this beautiful floral box are bonbons crafted from soft praline noisette and white chocolate ganache coated in 60% organic dark chocolate with white chocolate topping. Each makes up part of the canvas for the stunningly painted mosaic designs and can be presented with a mini bottle of pink or white Lanson Champagne.
Laurent-Perrier Cuvée Brut Rosé Champagne NV75cl
Another option for the mother who enjoys bubbles is a bottle of fine Laurent-Perrier Cuvée Brut Rosé Champagne. The design has been inspired by 16th-century bottles, with a liquid that’s fruity and fresh. And as it’s available in Waitrose, you can pick up this pressie while doing your weekly shop, ideal if you’re short on time.
The Mother’s Day Breakfast Box
A wonderful gift to wake up to, Fortnum’s Breakfast Box includes Scottish Smoked Salmon, Cacklebean Eggs, Fortnum’s Salted Butter and Seeded Sourdough, Breakfast Blend Tea/Colombia El Jordan Estate Ground Coffee, Apricot Preserve, Shropshire Ling Heather Honey and Pecan & Almond Granola and best of all, a bottle of Brut Reserve Champagne. Buy her this and you’ll be in the good books all day long.
Eden Mill Love Gin
Make it pink and ethical this mother’s day, with this gin made using a handcrafted blend of botanicals (all local to the distillery’s St Andrew’s base). Ingredients include raspberry leaf, goji berry, rose petal, rhubarb root, elderberry and hibiscus, creating a fruity, spicy and tangy complexity. The bottle itself is sustainably produced and the liquor is vegan-friendly – this is a brand fast working towards becoming carbon neutral.
The Espresso Daiquiri Gift Box
Mums with younger kids might need a little extra help staying awake to celebrate on the big day, and this is just the ticket. The gift box contains a bottle of Espresso Daiquiri (London White Rum blended with pineapple and coconut, freshly-brewed espresso and coffee liqueur) along with two elegant glasses for sharing and enjoying the classic cocktail.
Charbonnel & Champagne Mini Hamper
A gift she’ll be able to consume as well as re-use in future, this stylish little hamper from Harvey Nichols comes in a sophisticated black wicker hamper, which doubles as a cute picnic basket. It contains a decadent bottle of Premier Cru Champagne and a charming red heart-shaped box of Charbonnel et Walker’s finest chocolates – to let her know how much you love and appreciate her.
Selfridges Selection Old World Wine Gift Box
This minimalist wooden box holds two of the brand’s own high quality wines: Selfridges Selection Sancerre 750ml (Domaine Girault, from the Loire Valley) and Selfridges Selection Côtes du Rhône 750ml (Domaine de l’Espigoutte). Both feature artistic black and white sketched labels and can be delivered to addresses across the UK.
