The top 5 Mother's Day gifts, as rated by you

These fan-favourite workshops have earned their top-tier status by consistently delivering that 'wow' factor, blending expert tuition with a wonderfully relaxing atmosphere. From the tactile bliss of the pottery wheel to the fragrant art of perfume making, discover the five unique Mother’s Day experiences that mums across the UK are raving about this year!

1. Perfume Making 

Danielle Burgess treated her lucky Mum to a perfume making class in Leeds from The Ministry of Scent Ltd, and told us afterwards:

I attended the class in Leeds with my mum after buying it as a Mother's Day experience gift. The process of booking right through to the day was seamless and professional. The presentation of the room and explanation of the day ahead was clear and well managed, it was such a fun experience with lots of knowledgeable information without being overwhelming – the bucks fizz on arrival was a lovely touch too! We had a great time trying each scent and combinations, we never felt rushed at all and chatted to others attending the day too, it had such a good positive atmosphere. Very highly recommended, a unique and personal experience.

2. Paint and Sip

Kathryn Mileham and her Mum had a lovely time at a paint and sip class in Gloucester from Brush Party with Sarah, and said:

I went with my mum in celebration of Mother's Day. After never painting on a canvas before we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, the friendly and supportive guidance on which paints to mix and techniques to use was invaluable and definitely added to the enjoyment of the evening. Additional materials were brought around as needed or upon request so we always had what we needed to complete our masterpieces.Definitely going to book to come again after such a fun and creative evening!

3. Flower arranging

Joan Gardner was treated to a one-to-one hand tied bouquet workshop in London from Malina's Design by her children, and told us:

My children booked me onto the flower arrangements workshop as a Mother's Day gift. I was the only person booked in the workshop at that time so received a one to one session in which I got to have all the teachers attention. I thoroughly enjoyed the workshop and found my teacher Malina to be very informative and friendly. She was also very patient and helpful and ensured that I understood her demonstration. I went away with a beautiful bunch of flowers that I was very proud of creating. Thank you Malina, for a great experience.

4. Glass art

Georgina Charlies took her Mum and best friend to a stained glass art class in London from Heather Makes Glass. They all had a wonderful time, and said afterwards:

Came with my mum and my bestie for Mother's Day. We had the most wholesome day and we all loved it. Heather is a very chill and approachable teacher, she explained the steps well and jumped right in to help before we head to ask for it. We picked from two templates: at first I thought they might be too simple, but they were just right for us to have a finished piece within the time frame and feel good about it. Would a thousand percent recommend this class! I got more out of it than I was hoping to and would love to book her longer class with my full friend group. It's the perfect balance between artsy choices and hardcore craft tools. Loved it!

5. Pottery throwing

Gemma Musgreaves did the pottery throwing taster class in Birmingham from Pavlov Ceramics Studio for Mother's Day, saying:

We did the pottery wheel taster for Mother's day and had a great time! The teacher was really good, it was a warm friendly atmosphere and we got a chance to make two pieces each. We were surprised at how good the final pieces ended up looking!

5. Say cheers to a fun paint and sip session!

Looking for a lighthearted and social experience? Gift Mum a paint and sip class where she can swap the 'to-do' list for a paintbrush and a glass of her favourite tipple! These workshops are all about unleashing her inner artist in a relaxed, music-filled studio. Guided by a professional artist, she’ll learn how to layer acrylics and master brushstrokes to create a masterpiece, all while enjoying a glass of bubbly and some great conversation.

Why it’s in the top 5

This experience consistently ranks in our top 5 Mother's Day gifts because it completely removes the "fear of the blank canvas." It’s designed for absolute beginners, focusing on fun over perfection. Mums love the social energy of the studio and the fact that they can switch off their brains, sip some wine, and get creative without worrying about the cleanup. It’s the ultimate "girls' day out" that results in a finished painting she’ll be proud to hang on the wall.

Make it extra special by...

Theming the evening: Check the studio’s schedule to see if they are painting her favourite flower or a landscape from a place she loves to holiday. Matching the painting's subject to her personal taste shows you’ve put that extra bit of thought into her .

4. Let Mum get messy with a pottery class

If Mum really needs to switch off, let her embrace the therapeutic and tactile experience of pottery making. Whether she’s a complete beginner or has a touch of ceramic making experience, she can learn the art of throwing clay at this potter’s wheel taster workshop. From charming mugs to decorative bowls, she can unleash her creativity and finish the session with unique pieces to cherish or share with loved ones.

Why it’s in the top 5

Pottery has skyrocketed in popularity because it offers a total "digital detox." It’s impossible to check a phone with clay-covered hands, making it the best Mother’s Day experience gift for a Mum who needs to truly unplug. The rhythmic spin of the wheel is famously meditative, helping her find a sense of "flow" that’s hard to achieve in daily life. Our community loves this workshop because it’s deeply satisfying to transform a humble lump of earth into a functional piece of art in just one afternoon.

Make it extra special by...

Turning it into a 'crafternoon' tea: After the wheels have stopped spinning and the clay is set to dry, take her out for a nearby afternoon tea. It’s the perfect way to keep the day going, giving you both a chance to wash up and laugh about your wobbly clay moments over some scones and jam.

3. She can feather her nest with a tufting workshop

This trendy craft offers a unique and modern approach to creating textured artwork – so if she’s a keen home decorator, tufting classes make perfect Mother’s Day present ideas! In a tufting workshop, Mum can learn the technique of using a yarn gun to punch colourful wool loops onto a canvas, creating custom rugs, wall hangings, or even decorative pillows. This workshop is perfect for anyone who appreciates modern crafts and enjoys adding personalised touches to their home décor.

Why it’s in the top 5

Tufting has become a firm favourite because it’s a craft that actually lets you let off some steam! It’s the best Mother’s Day experience gift for the modern Mum who loves a bit of 'industrial' creativity; there’s something incredibly cathartic about using a tufting gun to punch vibrant colours into a canvas. Mums love that they can create a high-end, gallery-worthy piece for their home in a single session, giving them a much-deserved sense of accomplishment and a stylish memento that outlasts any store-bought gift.

Make it extra special by...

Pre-planning her design: Tufting requires a bit of a game plan! Surprise her by printing out a few simple, bold design ideas—like her favourite abstract shapes or a cute botanical outline—so she can dive straight into the fun without any "designer's block" when she arrives at the studio.

2. A lino printing session will let her explore her crafty side

Lino printing is a fun and versatile technique that allows for creating unique prints and then adding them onto various surfaces. In a lino printing class, Mum can learn the process of carving designs onto a linoleum block, then transferring the design onto fabric, paper, or even tote bags – so if she’s ever wanted to design her own artwork, clothes or accessories, this is one experience gift she won’t want to miss!

Why it’s in the top 5

Lino printing is one of our top 5 Mother’s Day gifts because it strikes the perfect balance between artistic expression and satisfying handiwork. Mums often love this workshop because the carving process is incredibly rhythmic and meditative, offering a much-needed mental break from a busy schedule. It’s a unique Mother’s Day experience that feels a bit more 'indie' and cool; she isn't just making art, she's creating her own personal brand, whether that’s printing a set of bespoke greeting cards or a custom-designed apron she can wear with pride.

Make it extra special by...

Creating a collab: If you’re joining her the day, why not try to design two halves of a whole? You could each carve a block that, when printed together, creates a larger family crest or a beautiful floral pattern. It’s a lovely way to symbolise your connection while creating a truly one-of-a-kind piece of art to hang in the family home.

1. She can stay cosy with a knitting or crochet class

Gift Mum the joy of creating warm and stylish accessories with a knitting or crochet taster class. From learning basic stitches to mastering intricate patterns, she can explore various techniques and materials to knit scarves, hats, or even blankets. This workshop is perfect for those who enjoy mindful activities, creating practical and beautiful pieces, and staying warm and cosy throughout the winter months.

Why it’s in the top 5

Yarn crafts are definitely in the top 5 Mother's Day gifts for Mums who crave a bit of 'productive peace'. Knitting and crochet have earned their reputation as 'the new yoga' because of their incredible mental health benefits; the repetitive clicking of needles provides a rhythmic calm that helps many Mums switch off their busy brains. It’s a brilliant experience gift for Mother's Day for longevity, too – unlike other crafts, she can take this skill anywhere, from the sofa to the train, giving her a lifelong way to relax and unwind while making something heartfelt for her family.

Make it extra special by...

Putting together a 'starter hamper': After the class, surprise her with a beautiful basket filled with a few skeins of high-quality wool in her favourite colours and a set of bamboo needles. It’s the perfect way to show her that you support her new hobby and want her to keep enjoying those blissful moments of "me-time" long after her special day has ended.
