Mother's Day gift: - The ultimate guide for the undecided!

Even as a child, I used to sneak through the lushly blooming May meadows and tie buttercups, daisies, kidney vetch and other pretty-looking flowers into a Mother's Day bouquet. I added a self-painted picture and I had the perfect Mother's Day gift.

Now that I'm no longer roaming through (tick-infested) meadows, the annual question arises: "What do I give the best mum in the world?". In this Mother's Day gift guide, I would like to give all those who are undecided a little more clarity in the great gift jungle: from timeless classics and last-minute Mother's Day gifts to unusual variations.

The classic Mother's Day gifts

Classic Mother's Day gifts are the undisputed number one gift and are guaranteed to make mums happy. Flowers are a classic and therefore the most popular Mother's Day gift in Germany: whether it's a lavish bouquet of flowers, which ideally shouldn't come from the petrol station (only in an emergency!), or a beautifully arranged flower arrangement - you definitely can't go wrong with wonderfully fragrant flowers on Mother's Day.

Another classic Mother's Day gift that is often given in combination with flowers are sweet treats such as chocolates, pastries or biscuits. If you have the time, the desire and the necessary know-how, you can let off steam in the bakery and personalise your sweet treat for Mother's Day. Baking mixes are ideal for baking novices, as they are quick and easy to prepare. Whether bought or home-baked - a sweet treat for Mother's Day always works, doesn't it?

Time together as a special Mother's Day gift

In our often hectic and fast-paced everyday lives, time together is the most valuable gift you can give. Especially on Mother's Day, a nice trip or a shared experience can create lasting memories and relaxing moments.

My top 5 time gifts:

1st walk with picnic

The birds are chirping, the meadows are in bloom and it already smells wonderfully of summer - perfect for enjoying a walk in the park, by the lake or in the forest and surprising mum with a lovingly prepared picnic. Simply grab a cosy blanket, a few snacks, fresh fruit, perhaps a few home-baked treats and, if you like, something sparkling to toast and et voilà: the perfect Mother's Day gift is ready.

2. museum visit

For mums interested in culture, a relaxed visit to a museum is the perfect Mother's Day gift. Let yourself be inspired by the paintings, art objects and educational content, exchange ideas and enjoy the time together in the often very special museum atmosphere.

3. love goes through the stomach

What better way to spend time together than over a delicious meal? Surprise your mum for Mother's Day with an extensive pampering breakfast or a delicious dinner. If you don't want to cook for yourself on Mother's Day, you can make reservations at many restaurants and hotels. There are often special culinary offers and highlights on this occasion. Look forward to good conversation, delicious food and a wonderful time together.

4th workshop

Workshops are a great idea for getting creative together and simply trying out something new. There is a wide range of options for a wide variety of interests, such as pottery, yoga and meditation, jewellery design, cooking or hand lettering. This is a great way to give a Mother's Day gift that is guaranteed to provide lots of fun and unique moments.

5. wellness time-out

A Mother's Day gift should be one thing above all else: a treat for the soul. Surprise your mum with a wellness break together in a day spa with sauna, steam bath, pool and soothing massages. If you want to give the gift of a longer pampering programme, you can plan a whole wellness weekend with lots of relaxation and recuperation. Pamper yourselves together with beauty and body treatments and Ayurveda treatments.

Unusual gifts for Mother's Day

If flowers, chocolates or a picnic seem too ordinary for you, then surprise your mum with an extraordinary Mother's Day gift this year.

My personal favourites:

1st Drink & Paint Event

At a Drink & Paint event, you can create your own work of art together in a relaxed atmosphere while enjoying a glass of wine or a fruity cocktail. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced artist, the focus here is on having fun. And the best thing about this Mother's Day gift: at the end of the evening, you will not only take home a unique memento, but also an unforgettable experience.

2nd show in the planetarium

For all mums who love stardust and a little magic, an impressive show at the planetarium is just the thing. Marvel together at the fascinating world of the universe, explore distant galaxies and spectacular celestial phenomena. Modern planetariums not only offer educational programmes for young and old, but also unique music shows, concerts, lectures, moonlight dinners and much more. This extraordinary Mother's Day gift combines knowledge, relaxation and magic.

3. experiences in the healing gallery

Another unusual Mother's Day gift can be found underground. Relax in the tranquil, natural surroundings of a healing gallery and enjoy the pure air. Many healing caves offer special wellness experiences such as guided meditation, sound journeys or breathing therapy. A wide range of events and activities also take place in the Heilstollen. Here you can enjoy underground concerts, readings or light shows. The unique atmosphere in the Heilstollen creates a magical mood - the perfect Mother's Day gift for anyone looking for something very special.

4th iris photo shoot

This Mother's Day gift may not be a novelty, but it is still a real eye-catcher and a great way to take home a personalised work of art. With its colours, patterns and structures, every eye is unique. During an iris photo shoot, detailed photos are taken in high resolution and printed on canvas. Have a close-up of your eye and your mum's eye printed side by side and you'll have a beautiful, emotional memory.

Last-minute Mother's Day gifts

If Mother's Day has come quicker than expected again and time is running out, then a last-minute Mother's Day gift is just the thing for you. Probably the best last-minute gift is the tried-and-tested gift voucher. Thanks to the print@home method, the gift voucher can be printed out at home in just a few minutes, wrapped and given immediately.

The most popular vouchers for Mother's Day are wellness and day spa vouchers. Food and holiday vouchers for a short trip are also popular Mother's Day gifts.

Homemade treats

Homemade treats are another express gift idea. Every mum will be delighted with a fruity cake, fluffy muffins or crunchy biscuits. But it doesn't always have to be something sweet. Savoury spreads, filled in pretty jars or homemade liqueur or vinegar are quick to prepare and a lovely gift idea for Mother's Day.

If you have two left hands in the kitchen or simply too little time, there are countless other last-minute gifts for Mother's Day: How about a donation as a gift? Make a donation to charity in your mum's name. Many organisations even offer personalised donation certificates that you can design with love. This way, you are giving something meaningful and doing something good with your donation as a Mother's Day gift.

More ideas for last-minute Mother's Day gifts:

  • Digital photo and video show
  • Handwritten letter or poem
  • A jar full of compliments
  • Star certificate
  • Tree sponsorship
