If you’re looking to break from the tradition of flowers this Mother’s Day, Etsy has your back.
Its independent sellers stock gifts in all shapes, sizes and budgets that can be delivered to your (or your mum’s door) before the 31 March.
Here are eight of our favourite unusual items that you (probably) won’t find on the high street.

‘I Am Not A Regular Mum’ Make Up Bag, Little Things By Lucy, Etsy, £12.50
Inspired by Amy Poehler’s infamous line in Mean Girls, this bag is the ultimate gift for any mum who’s determined to identify as a ‘cool mum’. Each bag is handmade, so the seller provides the option of changing the message to something totally unique if you wish.

Leaf Necklace, Olive Bella, Etsy, £32.33
Instead of buying fresh flowers, splash a little extra on this pressed leaf pendant that’ll last far longer. We love the gold-plated hexagon-shaped case and the fact that each necklace will be slightly different.

Available in white or silver, this water bottle is perfect for sporty mums who love to run. Send her off for a jog while you prepare the lunch for extra Brownie points.

Mama Sweater, CBInteriors Cheshire, Etsy, £19.99

Proud Member Of The Motherhood Mug, Claire Close, Etsy, £12.00
Mother’s Day mugs from the supermarket can sometimes be a little garish. But this understated, feminist design gets a thumbs up from us.

These versatile earrings are a perfect diddy gift. Add your name and a personalised message and your mum will know you’ve gone to that extra effort.
