Mother’s Day can be for any mother figure in your life — from grannies to aunts to mentors to family friends. For Mother’s Day (15 March), a handmade card and a hug are probably top of most people’s lists. If they don’t like physical gifts, a day out together, such as a long walk, spa trip or afternoon tea, could be a winner.

Be careful with presents that suggest someone needs to change, like Botox or specific anti-ageing products; those are often gifts people prefer to choose themselves. If you’re buying flowers, seek out flower delivery services that offer carefully sourced British blooms, which are more environmentally friendly and often more beautiful than supermarket bouquets.

This bumper selection highlights 82 gift ideas with a focus on independent, responsible brands.
