Mother's Day in the UK is approaching fast (it's on March 14th FYI) so I thought this week I'd help you out with your shopping by providing 9 gorgeous, handmade gift ideas for that special lady in your life!
Is your Mum a real HOOT?? Ok, sorry, I just couldn't resist!
As I'm sure you know, here at GlassHouse Design I stock a wide range of adorable earrings featuring different animals. I decided to recommend these wise old owls for Mother's Day because my Mum is always my first port of call when I need advice and wisdom.
If your Mum is your wise owl too, these earrings could be a great gift this Mother's day.
2. Ceramic Llama Ring Holder from Blu Beau
As soon as I decided to create a gift guide for Mother's Day, I knew I had to share Liz's work with you.
Liz is a super talented artist who sells her work as Blu Beau, and creates FLIPPIN GORGEOUS ceramic ornaments, jewellery and trinkets from her garden studio.
This fabulous llama is one of Liz's animal themed ring holders, and is the perfect gift if your Mum loves her jewellery and loves having somewhere unique to keep it.

3. Stained Glass Paw Print Window Ornament
These pet families are the perfect addition to your Mum's desk or dressing table, so that she's reminded of her loving family every day.

7. Mum's Angel (or Alternatives)
My range of guardian angels are always a popular choice during holidays. Each angel comes with a card featuring a loving message to your Mum, as well as a window suction hook so that she can put her angel straight up in the window.

8. Bury Town Centre Print from Christopher Walster
Christopher Walster is just a really, really nice chap, and a talented one too!
Christopher creates beautiful black and white drawings of various towns, cities and landmarks around the UK and the world, and they are available as prints, cards and, sometimes, magnets or coasters!
I decided to show you his drawing of Bury in this list because it's my hometown! I'm from there!
Your Mum might be missing holidays to her favourite cities (or her favourite Lancashire Town) and these skyline prints are a great gift to remind her of her travels. Also, being black and white, they will go with all styles of décor and will look great wherever she decides to display them.

9. Crystal Rainbow Maker Window Ornament
During the last 12 months, we've all spent a looooot of time in our homes. One of the things that really brought my joy this past year was seeing the rainbows refracted all over my studio from these crystal rainbow makers. I put them up early in 2020 to take these photos and never took them down!
I make these sweet Rainbow Makers using high quality crystals and hand made glass diamonds and they are just so lovely whenever the sun peeps out.
As with all my products, I can ship these rainbow makers direct to your Mum and you have the option to add gift wrapping and a special message at checkout.
Let me know which of my 9 top picks for Mum are your favourite in the comments below and make sure to check out my friend's shops at Blu Beau, VH Interiors MCR, Tin of Beans and Christopher Walster.
Have a great Mother's Day friends :)
