Dressing gowns, chocolates, personalised mugs. Sure, they’re classics when it comes to Mother’s Day gifts but this year, isn’t it time to take things to the next level?
Instead of buying your mum or mother figure another keepsake that will – let’s face it – probably end up in the back of the closet until it’s stumbled upon during the next home-decluttering mission, perhaps you could create memories that will last a lifetime.
Enter the experience gift. With so many different activities to explore, there’s an option for every type of mum to enjoy whether she’s a foodie, an adventure junkie or just sorely in need of a bit of pampering (she deserves it, after all).
We’ve pulled together some of the best and sure-to-be-memorable experience gift options for your loved one for Mother’s Day, 2024.
