A Longer-Lasting Alternative to Flowers
Flowers are beautiful, but they don’t always tell the full story — especially when you want something that lasts longer than a few days.
Our Mother’s Day gift boxes are designed to be enjoyed slowly, with carefully chosen treats, keepsakes, and comforting touches that feel personal and meaningful. They’re a wonderful alternative to flowers, offering something your mum can unwrap, use, and remember long after Mother’s Day has passed.
Each box is lovingly packed and sent directly to her door — perfect if you can’t be there in person.

Mother’s Day Looks Different for Everyone
We know that Mother’s Day isn’t always easy.
It can be a tender time for:
- Those who have lost their mum
- Those hoping to become mums
- Those who are estranged from their mum
- Those with step-mums, grandmothers, aunties, or other mother figures
- Those who mother in ways that aren’t always seen
If this day carries mixed emotions for you, you’re not alone. There is no “right” way to feel, and no obligation to celebrate in a way that doesn’t feel true to you.
A Box of Hugs is a lovely gift to send to anyone who shows you motherly care, love or support — or even to yourself, if that’s what you need this year.
A Gentle Way to Show You Care
Mother’s Day doesn’t have to be loud or extravagant. Sometimes, the most meaningful gifts are the quiet ones — a thoughtful box, a handwritten note, a token of love delivered to their door.
Whether you choose one of our ready-made Mother’s Day gift boxes or build your own, we’re here to help you send something that feels genuine, lasting, and full of care.

Celebrating New Mums This Mother’s Day
Mother’s Day can be especially meaningful for new mums, whether it’s their very first or they’re still adjusting to life with a little one.
Those early days can be wonderful and overwhelming in equal measure. A thoughtful gift can be a gentle way to remind a new mum that she’s doing an amazing job and deserves a moment just for herself.
Our Mother’s Day gift boxes are a lovely way to celebrate new mums, with comforting treats and small luxuries designed to be enjoyed whenever there’s a quiet moment. If you’re unsure what she’d love most, our Build Your Own gift box option lets you create something truly personal — because every new mum is different.
It’s a simple, thoughtful way to say “you’re seen, you’re appreciated, and you’re not alone.”

Sometimes the hardest part of Mother’s Day is finding the right words. Whether your message is short and sweet or more heartfelt, a few thoughtful lines can make a gift feel truly personal.

Simple & heartfelt

Giving Back This Mother’s Day
Mother’s Day is about love, care, and connection — and it’s also a time to support causes that matter.
For every Mother’s Day card purchased, 50p is donated to The Brain Tumour Charity, a charity close to our hearts. This cause is deeply personal to us, and supporting their work is one small way we can help fund vital research, raise awareness, and support families affected by brain tumours.
When you choose one of our Mother’s Day cards, you’re not just sending a thoughtful message — you’re also helping make a difference.
If you’d like to learn more about why this charity means so much to us, you can read our story.
It’s a simple way to give with love, purpose, and heart.
