15 Motherβs Day gifts for grandma sheβll actually love
Grandmas are often the heart of the family. They spoil us, support us, and somehow always know exactly what we needβwhether itβs a warm meal, a kind word, or a little handwritten card in the post. So when Motherβs Day rolls around, finding a gift that feels just as meaningful can be a challenge.
This year, go beyond the usual bunch of flowers or box of chocolates. Whether you're celebrating a grandma who lives nearby or sending your love from afar, these gifts are designed to spark joy, creativity, and connection. From paint-your-own mugs to sculpt-your-own succulents, here are the 15 best Motherβs Day gifts for Grandma sheβll actually love and use.
1. A cozy DIY candle kit
Few things feel as relaxing as the soft flicker of a handmade candle. With the Home Pottery & Candle-Making Kit, Grandma can paint her own ceramic pot and then fill it with wax and fragrance to create a candle sheβll enjoy lighting for weeks. Itβs a therapeutic craft and a beautiful keepsake all in one.
2. A custom-made mug
She likely has a favourite mugβbut does she have a hand-painted one? The Paint-a-Mug Kit includes a high-quality ceramic mug and everything she needs to decorate it. Whether she paints florals, patterns, or just her name, the result will be her new go-to cuppa.
3. A bunch of flowers that lasts forever
Fresh flowers are lovelyβbut they donβt last. Instead, give her the perfect gift with the Bunches of Love clay sculpting kit, which includes everything she needs to shape and paint her own everlasting floral bouquet. Itβs perfect for grandmas who like to craft or those whoβd appreciate a handmade touch in their home.
4. A gift set that feels as special as she is
If youβre looking for a gift that says βI love youβ without needing words, the Handmade for Mum Mug & Candle Set hits the mark. It combines two favourite creative kitsβa paint-your-own mug and candle-making setβin a gift-ready box that feels both thoughtful and luxurious. Itβs one of the most unique, personalized gifts to get your loved ones.
5. A gift for her imagination
Is your gran a maker at heart? The Home Air-Dry Clay Kit is a fantastic way for her to sculpt mini vases, bowls, trinket trays or anything else she dreams up. Thereβs no kiln required, and the clay is soft and satisfying to useβideal for creative souls of all ages.
6. A rose that lasts a lifetime
The Eternal Rose is a beautiful, handcrafted candle holder shaped like a rose. Unlike the other kinds, this rose doesnβt need water, sunshine, or a vase. Itβs a lasting symbol of your loveβgentle, classic, and perfect for grandmas who appreciate sentiment over size.
7. A low-maintenance plant she can sculpt herself
If your grandma loves plants but forgets to water them, the Succulent Sculptures Kit is a creative, long-lasting alternative. It includes everything she needs to sculpt and paint her own mini succulent gardenβno green thumb required.
8. A brunch date that doubles as a creative experience
If youβre lucky enough to spend Motherβs Day together, make it count. The Breakfast Bliss Set includes a mug and a mini pot ready for paintingβperfect for a relaxed morning of pastries, coffee, and connection. Itβs a low-pressure activity with high reward: handmade keepsakes and shared memories.
9. A personalized frame with a family photo
Itβs a classic for a reason. If thereβs anything a grandmother loves, itβs having lovely photos of her grandchildren across the house. Choose a recent photo of the two of you, or dig out an old one that brings back memories. You could even pair it with a hand-painted photo frame made using the air-dry clay kit. Sheβll treasure it, guaranteed.
10. A scented candle
Want to take the candle idea a step further? Let her pick her favourite scent and blend it into the Home Candle Kit. Whether itβs lavender for relaxing or vanilla for comfort, every time she lights it, sheβll think of you. Itβs one of those gifts for grandma that she will cherish, even years after this Motherβs Day.
11. A keepsake box for her trinkets and memories
Grandmas always have little treasuresβletters, buttons, rings, photos. Gift her a keepsake box she can use to store them. Better yet, make one together using the air-dry clay kit and paint it with designs or messages just for her.
12. A handwritten letter from the heart
Thereβs something incredibly powerful about putting your feelings on paper. Take a moment to write Grandma a letterβsomething she can tuck into her drawer and read whenever she needs a lift. You can even include it with one of the Pottβd kits for an extra personal touch.
13. A custom playlist or CD of her favourite songs
Music holds memories. Create a playlist of songs that remind you of her, or that she used to play when you were little. Include a little note explaining why you chose each one. Itβs a gift that takes time, but not moneyβand itβs one she can enjoy over and over again.
14. A DIY tea sampler paired with her mug
If sheβs a tea lover, put together a tea sampler with a few of her favourite blends. Pair it with the mug she painted herself from the Paint-a-Mug Kit, and youβve got a heartfelt gift sheβll use every single day.
15. A day spent making something beautiful
More than any item, what most grandmas want is time. Whether youβre crafting together, sharing stories over a cuppa, or simply sitting side by side, the real gift is presence. Use one of the Pottβd kits to slow down, paint, sculpt, and talk. The end result is more than a finished objectβitβs a memory, made by hand.
