With Mother’s Day around the corner, many will be thinking of a way to celebrate the leading lady in their lives. Whether you’re looking to treat an aunty, grandma, friend, or other motherly figure, finding the perfect gift can often be a difficult task.
One idea that has been growing in popularity in recent years (and is sure to make her burst with joy next Sunday) is a matching mother-daughter gift. The fun appeal of coordinating with a loved one is more prominent than ever across social media, with over 1.5 million posts on Instagram for the hashtag ‘#matchingoutfits’ and over 12k posts on TikTok for ‘#mummyandme’. Plus, Google searches for the term ‘matching outfits’ are up 8% since last month, so the matchy-matchy trend is showing no signs of slowing down anytime soon.
To help you pick out a Mother’s Day present she’ll remember, the experts from UK family footwear retailer, Wynsors, have put together a list of matching mother-daughter gift ideas.
Offering stylish footwear at a range of prices, there’s a gift for everyone at Wynsors – such as the women’s Kisses Penny Mule slippers (£8) and matching kids’ Kisses Penny Bootee slippers (£6). In striking pink leopard print, both mother and daughter will not only be making an at-home style statement, but will also enjoy ultimate comfort thanks to the super-soft faux fur.
Or perhaps you’ll be hitting the dancefloor instead this Mothering Sunday? The women’s Platino Dream heels (£18) and kids’ Miss Riot Glow party shoes (£12) are both ideal for bringing some coordinating glitter and glam to the next family do.
To help make sure the big day goes off without a hitch, Wynsors has also shared some tips for how to host the perfect Mother’s Day morning, so the mother figure in your life feels cherished and celebrated from the moment she wakes up:
- Start the day by preparing a personalised breakfast in bed. Consider her favourite breakfast, whether it’s a homemade omelette, fresh fruit, or pastries from a local bakery. Then, present the breakfast on a carefully arranged tray with a small bouquet of flowers and a heartfelt card to show your thoughtfulness and add a touch of luxury to her morning.
- Set the mood for the perfect Mother’s Day morning by creating a relaxing atmosphere. Why not play her favourite music softly in the background or set up a playlist of soothing tunes? Dim the lights and use scented candles or fresh flowers to add a pleasant fragrance to the space, creating a calm and peaceful environment for her to unwind and enjoy the special day.
- Consider taking the celebration outdoors with a scenic morning stroll. Choose a picturesque location – whether it’s a nearby park, beach or nature trail – and plan a leisurely walk together. This means she can enjoy the beauty of nature, breathe in fresh air, and engage in meaningful conversation. Why not bring along her preferred hot beverage and some light snacks for a cosy picnic at a scenic spot along the way?
