Great Mother’s Day Gift Ideas for Glorious Grandmothers
By Sophie Carter - 29th January 2025
Mother's Day is a sentimental celebration of influential mother figures we just couldn't live without. After all, where would we be without those who birth or raise us, and who help to construct our path and hold our hands for every step? As well as magical mother figures, grandmothers deserve to be applauded and appreciated, as their love and support through every stage of their grandchild's life is a shining light for so many. If you're struggling to come up with the perfect present for Granny, however, we've rounded up some failsafe Mother's Day gifts for a Grandma, Granny, Gran, Nanny, Nan, or Nana, whatever her style, hobbies, or guilty pleasures.
What's a good jewellery gift for Grandma on Mother's Day?
If she's a lover of trinkets she can treasure, a great jewellery gift will never go amiss, and the perfect piece doesn't have to be extravagant to create impact. A pretty pair of subtle studs make an easy token gift, and our Sterling Silver Family Tree Heart Stud Earrings combine style with sentiment.
If she's a fan of all things floral, our Birth Flower Pendant Necklace in Gold or Silver is ideal for gifting a personal piece with a floral flourish. You can pick her birth flower from twelve gorgeous options, giving her something completely unique to her. Or, why not choose your own birth flower so she can wear a little reminder of her grandchild every day?
Looking for a pretty piece that's even more personal? Our beautiful Personalised ‘Nana’ Meaningful Word Bangle comes with a stunning grandmother-themed quote and a completely engravable charm, allowing you to add one, two, or even three of her grandchildren's names to a sweet and sentimental everyday accessory.
How do I find the perfect personalised Mother's Day gift for Nana?
Most grandmothers love to receive gifts that a great deal of thought has gone into. Continuing down the sentimental route, a personal present is bound to be a big hit with a proud nana. Gifting her something she can use everyday that features her ‘nana’ title is a great way to remind her how treasured she is by her brood of grandchildren. A heartfelt homeware gift such as our Nana Meaningful Word Candle Holder or Grandmother Cream Ceramic Heart Coaster gives her something practical with a sweet, personal twist. If she's a self-confessed green-thumb and adores her house plants, a pretty planter like our Floral Nana Planter and Tray will also be greatly appreciated.
Smaller token pieces such as personalised jewellery like our Personalised Family Names Heart Charm Necklace or Personalised Double Heart Charm Necklace require much less wrapping but give great emotional impact. She can wear these pieces everyday and always be reminded of the names of her special grandchildren written across each charm. If she's not much of a jewellery wearer, she'll love a small but sweet gift displaying her ‘nana’ title such as our Nana Tiny Matchbox Dried Flower Posy - something she can treasure for many years to come.
What home accessories make good Mother's Day presents for Granny?
Many grandmothers are traditional homemakers, passionate about their space being tidy, clean, and presentable with a floral flourish or two. While fresh florals are a pretty present Nan will no doubt be pleased with, dried flowers last much longer, meaning she can admire her arrangement long after Mother's Day is over. A bunch like our Golden Daisy Dream Dried Flower Bouquet comes beautifully arranged and wrapped in brown paper, saving you the hassle of having to wrap it yourself!
Other charming home accessories to liven up her space will likely be appreciated, too, as she may not have the time or energy to redecorate often. Consider a pretty print like Norfolk Lavender A3 by local artist Jenna Crush to add subtle colour and texture to a wall in her home. If she spends a lot of time sitting in her lounge, a cute coffee table book like the classic Alice in Wonderland gives her something both fun to read and pleasing to look at.
If she lives for her morning cuppa, why not gift her a mug with her special name on it like our Ceramic Orange Heart Nana Mug? Every doting Nana will adore sipping a steaming brew from a mug of their own. Other uplifting home pieces that guarantee a dose of calm could include diffusers, candles, or wax melt burners. If she has any of these already, consider getting her a refill or a packet of wax melts such as the FieldDay Folk Home Wax Melts.
What affordable token gifts can I treat my grandmother to for Mother's Day?
Special gifts don't have to be big or lavish to make an impact, and many grandmothers are insistent they don't want you to shower them with gifts, so why not treat them to something small they can't say no to? If you're on a budget, our Gifts Under £10 and Gifts Under £20 edits have purse-friendly pieces they'll adore. For grandmothers who like to indulge in a tasty treat when you visit, a food & drink gift such as Gnaw Bee Happy Milk Chocolate will go down a storm. Pair this with a pretty floral Mother's Day Card from Ohh Deer complete with your message of love and appreciation and you've got a thoughtful gift under £10.
Consider a cute home decor piece with an adorable quote such as our Nana Ceramic Hanging Decoration or Nana Meaningful Word Handled Tealight Holder to liven up her space with added sentiment. Other pocket-money finds that guarantee to put a smile on her face could include sweet vases such as our Tiny Snail Ceramic Bud Vase, or pretty posies like our Norfolk Flower Room Pastel Dried Flower Posy Letterbox Gift, which comes ready-wrapped - ideal for sending straight to her door.
If you're sticking to a budget but still wanting to gift something great, think small, sweet, sentimental, and personal, with adorable token pieces such as matchbox gifts, keyrings, or pocket mirrors.
What heartfelt hobby gifts could I get my nan for Mother's Day?
Some grandmothers are forever on-the-go and love to keep busy with their favourite tasks. Whether she loves baking, knitting, crafting, or completing a puzzle, Nan will be thrilled to be gifted a thoughtful piece she can use time and time again. As Mother's Day pops up in the heart of springtime, it's the ideal occasion to gift a grandmother a great gardening accessory such as a Burgon & Ball RHS Gardening Hand Fork or Pale Jade Indoor Watering Can. If she's into her indoor plants more than her garden, a house plant accessory such as our Ceramic Bird Plant Watering Spike is the perfect choice, and at just £10, it's a steal, too!
Have a glorious granny that spends a lot of time in the kitchen? Give her a place to store her favourite recipes with this Papier Recipe Journal. If she has many recipes she's spent years perfecting that she wants to pass down to her grandchildren, this is the best way to keep them all together for future use.
If she simply enjoys putting her feet up and having a well-earned brew, or making one for you when you visit, too, she'll adore a new teapot. The Sass & Belle Folk Floral Tea for One Teapot and Mug Set has everything she needs to enjoy a tea or two by herself, enjoying the peace and quiet once her brood of grandkids have departed.
If you're struggling to choose between several super gifts for your truly one-of-a-kind grandma, a heavenly hamper is a gift she'll never forget. Our Build Your Own Gift Hampers come with multiple fill options and patterned gift sleeves to help you create a collection of goodies to make her feel just as special as she is to you.
However you choose to show gratitude to your grandmother this Mother's Day, it's essential that she's aware of just how appreciated she is. She's often the backbone of the family, the maker of fun memories, and the champion of your achievements, and on Mother's Day especially, she really does deserve to be in the spotlight.
