Gifts & Things To Do in Devon For Mother’s Day - 2024 Update

Mother’s Day in the UK is celebrated on the fourth Sunday of Lent. This year it falls on Sunday 10th March and is all about treating and thanking your mum, Nan or special lady in your life. Traditionally Mother’s Day is the biggest flower buying day of the year in the UK but there are lots of other ways you can celebrate this special day too! With this in mind we have put together some alternative Mother’s Day gift ideas along with a selection of things to do in Devon on Mothering Sunday. Many local attractions have special Mother’s Day events and we have included a few here but be sure to look out for more as we get closer to Mother's Day. Meanwhile, read on and be inspired!

Cream Tea Hampers

Devon Heaven Cream Tea Hampers are top of the list for Mother’s Day gifting. What could be better than receiving a traditional afternoon tea by post! Perfect for sharing or for mum to enjoy all to herself. All Devon Heaven Hampers include a gift card with your personal message and delivery is free for orders placed before 12pm on Thursday 7th March for delivery on Friday 8th March. Clotted cream and scones are good for up to 4 days from dispatch so afternoon tea can be enjoyed at any time over the Mother’s Day weekend. Devon Heaven Cream Tea Hampers are great value starting from £19.50.

Mother Day Afternoon Tea Hamper

Mother’s Day Hampers

If you’re looking for a non-cream tea hamper, Devon Heaven has a selection of hampers containing artisan food and drink produced here in Devon. Willies Cacao, Mrs Gills Heavenly Chocolate Brownies, Teoni’s Cookies, Otter Vale Chutney and Devonshire Tea are just some of the tempting treats in our Mother’s Day Hampers.

 

Mothers Day Hampers

 

Hampers are delivered in a Devon Heaven branded gift box with your personal gift card message included. They are the perfect way to let your mum know she is appreciated and you are thinking of her, especially if you live far apart and can’t be together on Mother’s Day.

Mother’s Day Afternoon Tea Gift Vouchers

Going out for afternoon tea on Mother’s Day can be busy and hard to arrange, especially if you live far apart and would like to be together. Giving a Devon Heaven gift voucher is a thoughtful gift to receive and means your mum can choose to have a cream tea delivered on the weekday of her choice and might even wait for a time to be able to share it with you! 

For those looking to go out for afternoon tea somewhere in Devon our blog also contains details of lots of lovely hotels and cafes offering afternoon tea in Devon.

Spa Days in Devon This Mother's Day

For a really luxurious gift, treat your mum to a day of pampering at one of Devon’s exclusive spas. The Aztec Spa in Torquay offers a wide range of relaxation and beauty treatments. Dip and dine is a great avoidable option as its large Aztec themed pool and seating area is relaxing enough. In Exeter, the REN Spa at the Magdalen Chapter is nestled in the hotel’s walled garden offering both locals and residents a wide selection of treatments for the ultimate Mother’s Day gift of relaxation. The spa also has a peaceful outside pool that is heated to a pleasant 29 degrees. For more spas in Devon try TripAdvisor’s Best Spa Hotels in Devon list.
