Ah, The Ritz. London’s luxury icon, with centuries of incredible history and prestige to its name: you can’t go wrong. Treat Mum to some Michelin-starred magic with a five-course tasting menu from Executive Chef John Williams MBE, topped off with a glass of the Ritz’s exclusive Champagne Barons de Rothschild Brut Réserve Ritz each.

Glow Getter Spa Day with Treatment and Lunch for Two at Whittlebury Hall
We’re pretty spoilt when it comes to spa days, but Whittlebury Hall takes a top spot for us. Its striking size, rural Northamptonshire setting and state-of-the-art spa facilities are second to none. Contemporary touches, interwoven with beautiful Georgian architecture, give it a decidedly luxurious feel, making it a perfect choice for spoiling her. A spa day here includes unlimited use of the Heat and Ice experiences, plus a 40-minute treatment, delicious buffet lunch and access to the spa’s pool, steam room, and sauna.
Gifts packed full of fun
Rage Room Experience for Two with DESTROY'D
It’s not your typical Mother’s Day present, insofar as it’s, well, smashing things up in a room as opposed to flowers and chocolate, but it’s a bestseller for a reason. Any pent up frustrations of the last two years (and let’s face it, we’ve all got them) can be unleashed in this epic 30 minutes of smashing, obliterating and destroying all manner of large and small items, from old TVs and monitors, to bottles and crockery. Sweet? No. Fun? Most definitely.
Theatrical Cocktail Experience for Two at Alcotraz, The Prison Cocktail Bar
Alcotraz shot to the top of London’s hot lists when it first opened as a modest speakeasy where prison inmates, orange jumpsuits and handmade hooch reimagined the classic night out. Roaring success means it’s now expanded its offering to Brighton and Manchester, too, but the premise remains the same. This fully immersive cocktail experience will see you sneaking your smuggled spirits past the beady eyes of the Warden into your cell - once behind bars, the inmates will serve you up a range of delicious, bespoke cocktails of your choice.
Gifts for quality time with the family
KidZania, London
Encompassing a sprawling 75,000 square feet in the heart of London, this incredible indoor city is a fantastic day out for the whole family. KidZania was designed to empower and entertain kids from 4 to 14, allowing them to explore their passions and dreams through myriad activities, from piloting aircrafts and firefighting through to acting academies and even a hospital in miniature.
Gordon Ramsay Academy
When it comes to culinary fame, few chefs can match the eminence of Gordon Ramsay - and his latest venture allows amateur cooks to tap into industry secrets, learning the art behind his famed Beef Wellington, through to brunch, seasonal cookery, sushi, and everything in between. Treat Mum to some time spent together in style - for little kids, there’s even a ‘Cook Together’ class, so no age group need miss out. You can check out the full range here.
Surprise Mother's Day gifts
iFLY Indoor Skydiving for Two
Ever heard of indoor skydiving? It’s a great way to surprise her without actually making her jump out of a plane, which might be a bit much on short notice even for the most adventurous of mums. Imagine a wind tunnel, turned upright, so that the air travels upwards. Now imagine yourself caught in that powerful updraft, suspended in midair by a 120mph air stream. The two of you can enjoy it at one of three locations across the UK.
iFLY Indoor Skydiving for Two
Have you ever wanted to try skydiving but don’t think you quite have the nerve to willingly throw yourself out of a plane? The good news is you don’t have to. Grab a friend and enjoy the thrill and sensation of sky diving with this fantastic introductory experienceundefined indoors.
