With Mother’s Day just around the corner, it’s time to start thinking about the ideal gift to treat your mum to. This year, rather than relying on chocolates, flowers or even Mother’s Day breakfast in bed, I’m going to surprise my mum with a more thoughtful gift that she’ll be able to keep for years to come. As my mum loves to cook, I know she’d love a new kitchen gadget or accessory. With this in mind, I’ve scoured the internet for the best Mother’s Day gifts for mums who love to cook.

Here are my top picks:

1. Indoor Herb Garden

What better gift for a mum who loves to cook than an indoor herb garden she can use to grow her favourite fresh herbs to use while cooking?

Not only will this help to add flavour to your mum’s cooking, but it’ll also look rather pretty sitting on the kitchen windowsill.

2. Ornate Cookbook Stand

I recently discovered Lionshome while shopping for a replacement glass beaker for my cafetiere after it smashed into smithereens on my kitchen floor a few days after it was gifted to me for Christmas (typical!) This is now one of my favourite homeware sites because the product range is so extensive; no matter what you’re looking for, you’re spoilt for choice.

My mum loves to cook from recipe books, but she doesn’t have a cookbook stand yet. Lionshome’s kitchen accessories range includes a range of different cookbook stands, from basic plastic offerings to sophisticated cast iron varieties. The elegant, ornate design of this wrought iron Kitchen Craft cookbook stand really caught my eye and as my mum’s kitchen is white, I know she’s going to love it.

3. Personalised Chopping Board

A personalised print on demand kitchen item can make for a thoughtful gift for any keen cook. Treat your mum to this personalised chopping board for Mother’s Day and show her just how much thought you’ve put into her gift this year.

The resilient rubber wood means it’ll last her for years, and it can also be oiled with mineral or sunflower oil for further protection and durability. Furthermore, the ridges on either side allow for easy pick-up.

Although this personalised chopping board normally retails at £49.99, Etsy are running several promotional discounts at the moment, so snap this up soon to grab yourself a bargain!

4. Cat Kitchen Roll Holder

What do you get for the mum who already has just about every kitchen gadget and accessory you could ever dream of?

A cat kitchen roll holder, obviously! This little kitty will perch on your mum’s worktop and she can hang her kitchen roll on his tail. Your mum will be grinning like the cat who got the cream (sorry, couldn’t resist!) when she unwraps this on Mother’s Day!

5. Personalised Apron

A personalised apron may seem like a cliché Mother’s Day gift, but this apron is a cut above the rest because not only can you personalise the title or the name, but you can also add some text to give a little nod to your mum’s signature dish.

Available in either charcoal or navy with a back-strap and adjustable neck buckle, this apron also benefits from a front pocket for storing utensils while cooking.

6. ‘Mum’s Kitchen’ Sign

Surprise your mum with her very own ‘Mum’s Kitchen’ wall plaque she can hang in her kitchen to let everyone know how much she loves to cook.

A simple, yet stylish and affordable gift that’ll make your Mum smile every time she looks at it!

7. Sweetheart Bowl

Any mum who loves to cook will fall head-over-heels in love with this heart-shaped Sweetheart Bowl by Sagaform, complete with it’s very own ‘From Me To You’ gift tag.

8. Lavender and Lovage Cookbook by Karen Burns-Booth (£31.37)

You may remember reading about the Lavender and Lovage cookbook by fellow blogger, Karen Burns-Booth on my blog back in January when I was kindly sent my own copy to review.

While I tend to prefer scouring Pinterest for recipes than flicking through cookbooks these days, I have a real soft spot for this cookbook. It’s not so much a cookbook, but a culinary notebook looking back on Karen’s life and travel adventures, dotted with colourful anecdotes and vivid memories.

Packed with classic comfort food dishes and exotic world cuisine, your Mum will love working her way through Karen’s recipes – almost as much as you’ll enjoy eating her creations!

9. Hello Fresh Recipe Box Subscription

HelloFresh recipe boxes contain all you need to cook delicious, healthy meals from scratch for either two, three or four people. You only have to glance at the Indonesian rice I cooked from my last box (picture above) to get a feel for how tasty HelloFresh’s recipes can be.

You can choose how many meals you’d like to include in your box each week and boxes can be customised for vegetarians, families or people on the go who only have limited time in which to cook.

New customer? Sign-up for HelloFresh by clicking on the banner below and you’ll get 60% off your first box, plus free sides for life.

10. Portable BBQ Gourmet Pizza Oven (£79.99)

If you’re searching for a quirky Mother’s Day gift for mums who love to cook, it doesn’t get much better than this portable BBQ gourmet pizza oven.

Just prep your pizza, place it inside the stainless steel pizza oven (equipped with a 12mm thick pizza stone) and pop it on the BBQ for fresh, authentic pizza at home in just 3 -4 minutes.

Your mum will be top of the guest list at all the summer garden parties this year!

So, there you have it – my pick of the best Mother’s Day gifts for mums who love to cook! Happy shopping!
