Let’s be honest… Mother’s Day gifting is a high-risk, high-reward game. This post details Mother’s Day Gift Ideas.
Get it right, and your mum will sing your praises to everyone (including that aunt who keeps asking when you’ll settle down).
But get it wrong, and you’re looking at a polite smile, a “thank you, my dear” laced with quiet disappointment, and a gift that mysteriously disappears into the back of her wardrobe, never to be seen again.
And if you think you’re off the hook because it’s your wife you’re shopping for, think again!
This is the mother of your children we’re talking about! She remembers everything, including that one year you thought flowers from the supermarket were enough. (spoiler: they weren’t).
So, what’s the move? What’s the one gift that guarantees instant favourite-child status or earns you a husband-of-the-year nomination?
A perfectly curated Mother’s Day hamper. And we’re not just saying that – our customers have receipts.
From mums who almost fought over luxury biscuits to heartfelt reactions that left grown adults teary-eyed, we’ve seen firsthand how a simple, well-thought-out hamper can turn Mother’s Day into a legendary family moment.
So, if you’re tired of the last-minute gift scramble and want to give something she’ll truly cherish, you’re in the right place.
Here are some real-life stories of hampers that made Mother’s Day truly magical.

Dayo’s Mum Thought He Bought Her Shoes—Until She Opened the Box
Dayo has always struggled with gift-giving. His track record has always left up a mix of last-minute store runs, questionable perfume choices, and one particularly disastrous incident involving a Happy Birthday card (on Mother’s Day… yes, it was that bad).
So, when he walked into his mum’s house last year holding one of our Luxury Indulgence Hampers, she immediately raised an eyebrow.
“You bought me shoes?” she asked, eyeing the sleek box suspiciously. “I don’t even wear heels!”
Dayo just smiled. “Mum, just open it.”
The moment she lifted the lid, everything changed. The gourmet chocolates, the spa essentials, the handwritten note, all but pure magic.
She went quiet for a second.
Then, she hugged him. A long, emotional, “I-don’t-want-to-let-go” type of hug.
Later, Dayo texted us:
“I have never seen my mum that happy over a gift before. You guys saved me.”
So, Dayo, We got you!

Funmi’s Mum Got a Spa Day – Without Leaving Her Living Room
Funmi, another customer, shared her Mother’s Day experience with us.
She knew her mum needed a break. Between running the family, handling everyone’s problems, and somehow still finding time to ask why Funmi wasn’t married yet (classic), this woman deserved a whole vacation.
But since an all-expenses-paid trip far away (maybe to the Maldives) wasn’t exactly in the budget, Funmi had to get creative.
We introduced her to the Premium Mother’s Day Gift Set for Her, a hamper designed for pure indulgence, turning any day into a spa-worthy retreat.
Mother’s Day morning, Funmi walked in with the sleek gift box. Her mum raised an eyebrow. “What’s this? Another candle?” (Because yes, Funmi had a bad habit of gifting scented candles on autopilot).
“Just open it, Mummy.”
The moment the lid came off, her mum’s entire demeanor changed.
The romantic perfume was immediately spritzed into the air (twice).
The perfumed lotion? Quickly opened and tested on her hands.
And the spa day diffuser? Set up before breakfast.
And then, the real moment of truth, she held up the stylish scarf, examined it, and nodded approvingly. “This one… this is quality.”
But then again, there is the highlight! The sparkling wine. Another light up!
After unboxing everything, she looked at Funmi and said, “So… should we pour a drink?”
A Mother’s Day win.
The moral of this beautiful experience is that sometimes, the best gift isn’t just a thing, it’s an experience. And if you can’t send your mum to a spa, you bring the spa to her, right in her home!
Alright now, you want to give your mum the ultimate relaxation experience this Mother’s Day, for real!

Tolu Accidentally Set the Family Gift-Giving Standard Too High
Tolu’s case is another one that thrills us.
When Tolu ordered for his mum, the Cupid’s Curation Hamper containing Paco Rabanne Perfume, Zirconia Earring set, chic handbag, and more, he knew she’d love it.
What he didn’t know was that she’d immediately call his sister to rub it in her face.
“She FaceTimed my sister right away,” Tolu told us.
“She was literally showing off the handbag, the perfume, the fancy chocolates, everything.
And the whole time she was saying, ‘See what Tolu got me o! Can you imagine?’”
The reaction on Tolu’s sister’s face was a pure, simmering frustration.
“She called me later and said, ‘You know you’ve just made my life harder, right? Now Mum expects this level of gifting every year.’”
Oops.
But hey! if you’re going to raise the bar, you might as well do it in style.
So, are you ready to Create Your Own Unforgettable Mother’s Day Moment?
How Tunde Became the Ultimate Husband (and the Favorite Son-in-Law) in One Move
Leaving out Tunde Adebigbe’s experience would make this post incomplete. His was a case of ‘one-stone, two-birds…’
In his own case, he had a Mother’s Day dilemma.
See, he wasn’t just shopping for one woman… he had two VIPs to impress:
- His wife, Kemi, the amazing mother of his two kids, who deserved the world.
- His mother-in-law, aka the woman who still called him “that young man” despite being married to her daughter for six years.
And if you think one disappointed woman is bad, try two.
So this year, Tunde wasn’t taking chances. He went straight for The Premium Gift Set for Her (you’ll find it as The Premium Valentine’s Gift Set for Her in our store) — one for Kemi and one for her mum.
Because, what better way to say “I love you” and “Please continue to think I’m a good husband” than a luxurious hamper filled with spa-day essentials?
Mother’s Day Morning (Sunday, 10th March 2024)
Tunde started with Kemi. As she unboxed her gift, her eyes lit up. Perfume? Perfumed lotion? A spa-day diffuser?
She grinned. “Wait, is this a bribe to get me to relax?”
“Maybe,” he smirked, handing her a glass of sparkling wine from the set.
Then came the real test – his mother-in-law.
Now, this was the woman who once re-washed the plates after he did the dishes (because apparently, he “missed a spot”). That’s according to Tunde, anyway.
So when she opened her hamper, he braced himself.
First, she held up the stylish scarf. Examined it. Nodded. “Good quality.”
Then, she picked up the perfume, gave it a test spray, and smiled. “Ah. This smells expensive.”
Finally, she spotted the sparkling wine. Turned to her daughter. “So… should we pour a drink?”
Tunde won.
Not only was Kemi happy (which meant his week was already looking good), but her mum now saw him in a new light. For the first time in years, she patted his back and said, “Well done, my son.”
And just like that, Tunde went from “that young man” to “our husband.”
So, TBH, if you want to win Mother’s Day, Sometimes, it’s not just about the gift – it’s about the thought behind it. And when the gift is this good, it does all the talking for you.
On a final note…
Mums remember everything. The good gifts, the bad ones, and the ones you completely forgot (you know who you are).
This year, don’t just give her something. Give her a memory. A moment. A gift that she won’t stop talking about.
And lucky for you? We’ve made it ridiculously easy.
Our treat covers luxurious self-care hampers to gourmet treats she won’t want to share. Plus, we’ve got the perfect package to make this Mother’s Day legendary.
