She's been there for every dress fitting, every wedding wobble and every late-night phone call about the seating plan. A gift for the mother of the bride is your chance to say thank you for all of it.
Here are nine mother of the bride gift ideas she'll love, from keepsakes she can wear on the day to little treats for once the celebrations are over.
9 mother of the bride gift ideas
1. A keepsake bracelet
Our Joma Mother of the Bride Bracelet (£18.99) is a delicate piece she can wear on the wedding day and treasure forever. It comes on Joma's sentiment card, which reads "thank you for helping us tie the knot today".
2. An embroidered cotton pouch
Perfect for keeping her lipstick and tissues close on the big day, our Embroidered Mother of the Bride Cotton Pouch (£5.99) is a pretty keepsake that's practical too.
3. A book just for her
Our Mum In A Million Book (£9) is a little book of uplifting quotes on love and motherhood. Write a note inside and she'll return to it again and again.
4. A little bracelet to say thank you
For a simple, heartfelt touch, our Thank You Mum Bracelet (£6.99) and Mum In A Million Bracelet (£6.99) say it all.
5. A pamper set for after the big day
She's worked hard. Put together our Wonderful Mum Candle (£7), Wonderful Mum Bath Bomb (£4.99) and Katie Loxton Wonderful Mum Hand Cream (£7.50) for a well-earned evening off.
6. A personalised keepsake box
Our Personalised Blue Magnetic Keepsake Gift Box (£12.99) is a pretty blue alternative to pink. Personalise it with her name and fill it with her favourite things. Personalised products can take up to 7 working days to dispatch.
7. A wedding morning treat
Our Rosé Prosecco Gummy Bears (£3.99) are a fun extra to share while you're all getting ready.
8. A sash and gift bag for the hen
If she's joining the hen party, a Mother of the Bride Satin Sash (£2.99) and Mother of the Bride Gift Bag (£3.99) make her feel part of the squad.
9. A letter from the bride
The gift she'll treasure most might be the one you write yourself. A handwritten letter, maybe with an old photo of the two of you, is guaranteed to bring a happy tear.

When should you give the mother of the bride her gift?
Most brides give it on the wedding morning, while everyone's getting ready together. It makes a lovely quiet moment before the day begins. If she's coming to the hen, a sash or gift bag there is a sweet way to include her too.
Who gives the mother of the bride a gift?
Usually the bride, or the couple together. Bridesmaids sometimes club together for a small gift too, especially if she's helped with the hen or the wedding plans.
Don't forget the mother of the groom
Matching gifts mean neither mum misses out. See our mother of the groom gift ideas, or browse our mother of the groom gifts.
