Mothers Day Gift Guide 2025 | Give a Gift That Lasts

Finding the perfect gift for Mum is always tricky. Every time Mother's Day rolls around, we panic, spend hours searching the depths of the internet for gift ideas, and usually come up empty handed. This results in buying Mum the same old gift as the year before... supermarket flowers and a garden centre gift card anyone? 

But, it doesn't have to be this way! For Mothers Day 2025, we're urging you to give Mum the gift that lasts. Rather than supermarket flowers, why not opt for flowers that last a lifetime? We have plenty of new and on-trend florals that we know your Mum will love. And the best part is, she can keep them forever. Here are our top picks for Mothers Day 2025. 

  1. A Timeless Classic

    If your Mum loves the classics, then you can't go wrong with our Faux Roses or Faux Viburnums. They're both timeless crowd pleasers that are perfect year-round. Complete the look by pairing with our Zoe Ceramic Vase or Layla Stone Vase.

  4. Perfect Peony

    We all know someone who's favourite flowers are peonies. These frilly, romantic blooms are short-lived in nature, so year-round peonies is the stuff of dreams. Lucky for Mum, Contempee can make this dream come true. Our Faux Peonies are sure to bring your Mum joy every time she looks at them, and what's better than the gift of joy?

Why faux? 

Look, we know that you may still have doubts. Fresh flowers are undeniably beautiful, and sometimes cheaper, so why should you opt for faux? There are several reasons to opt for faux flowers over fresh. 

  1. Fresh flowers last a week, faux flowers last a lifetime.

    Although they can be more of an investment upfront, artificial flowers last forever, meaning you only need to buy them once. In comparison, fresh flowers wilt and die after a week or so, meaning if you want flowers in your home year-round, you'd have to keep re-purchasing them.  

  2. Low maintenance 

    Fresh flowers require an upkeep that faux flowers simply don't. Changing the water every few days, cutting and arranging them to name a few. With Contempee's faux florals, all you need to do is unwrap them and pop them in the recommended vase and voila! You're set with no faff needed. 

  3. Environmental benefits 

    Artificial flowers surprisingly have environmental benefits over fresh flowers. One reason for this is the packaging. Fresh flowers are nearly always packaged in un-recyclable single use plastic. Artificial flowers require much less packaging, and Contempee ship them in cardboard, an eco friendly and easily recycled material. Faux flowers also beat fresh flowers on reusability. While both fresh flowers and faux flowers are typically shipped from overseas, one purchase of faux flowers lasts forever, fresh flowers only 7 days. Less frequent purchases means less emissions.

Still stuck? 

Not sure which floral is the perfect fit for your Mums home?  Let her choose by opting for a Contempee gift card. Load up an amount that suits your budget, anywhere from £10 to £100, and send it straight to your Mums email for her to open on Mothers Day. 

We hope this gift guide has gave you some inspiration. We'd love to see what you end up buying for Mum, so be sure to snap a picture and tag us!
