This Mother’s Day, we want to celebrate the women making the gifts you’ll be giving. Many of our makers are mothers themselves, creating with care, skill, and a sprinkle of love – often between school runs, bedtime stories, grandparent duties and everything in between.
In this feature we’ve picked a selection of wonderful Mother’s Day presents, and are sharing a little about the mother’s who made them, their experience of motherhood and the many ways it’s impacted their designs and approach to crafting. You can read the full features in our Mothers Who Make interview series.

“I absolutely appreciate how lucky I am to be able to make a living doing a job that I love – and which also enables me to be present and available for my family.“

“The reality is it is so difficult to carve out time for yourself and your passions as a new mum. It is difficult to make time to shower and brush your teeth, let alone practice your craft and manage a business.”
Cross Stitch Bookmark Kit by Craft Giraffe
“And being a mum you are constantly bombarded with tiny bits of plastic no matter how hard you to try to avoid it! Party bags, magazines cover toys, crafts that can’t be recycled, it can be overwhelming. So I try to carefully consider everything I use in my kits, I have to think of more creative ways to create sparkle and colour.”
Meadow Daisy Earrings by Peach Plot
“I keep my mums love love of nature and plants at the heart of my work, (even if I did not inherit her green fingers!) and always wanting to try and learn new skills to add to my practice exactly which was always her approach too.”
Every gift in this roundup is a labour of love, crafted by mums who know how special Mother’s Day is. By choosing a handmade gift like these, you’re not just celebrating the mother in your life – you’re supporting another mother’s craft, creativity, and passion.
Whether it’s a personalised piece of jewellery, a hand-painted homeware item, or a lovingly stitched keepsake, these gifts carry stories – of motherhood, creativity, and connection – that a high street buy can’t match.
