10 of the best Mother’s Day food & drink gifts for 2026

From the restaurant kitchen of Browns at the Buttercross in Tickhill, a historic Yorkshire market town, these Signature Brownies have become a local institution and a recent Great British Food Awards winner, described by judges as “the best brownie we’ve eaten in a very long time… rich, ultra-fudgy and packed with smooth chocolate flavour.” 

Made gluten-free to achieve their dense, melt-in-the-mouth texture, each batch is baked in small quantities using high-quality Belgian chocolate. After five years building a devoted local following, they’ve now launched a nationwide letterbox brownie delivery service, beautifully packaged with the option to include a personalised message.

Your mum only needs so many scarves!  

Instead, for Mother’s Day this year, give her the joy of discovering limited edition honeys from small scale beekeepers across the UK. She’ll experience a wide variety of flavours and textures that capture the meadows, gardens, woodlands and fields the bees have visited. 

On each jar, Hive & Keeper writes where the bees were kept and how many jars of that honey they made – truly limited edition and totally unique.   

Gift subscriptions begin at £42 for three months, including the story of the beekeepers. 

Rosemullion distillery may have humble roots, but it also has an international reputation for making beautiful Cornish gin and other spirits.  A great Dry Gin like theirs, mixed with an excellent, quinine-tasting tonic, ice and a slice of lemon or lime makes a straight-talking classy highball that pleases drinkers world-wide – from Beverley Hills to the streets of Mumbai, from London’s Mayfair to the famous Bellevue Hill in Sydney. 

Dry Gin is the classic gin, and it is more than willing to be dressed up or casually depending on the drinker’s mood or the occasion. Happy to jump between dress-down days and unabashed high-glamour. 

Mum will love it! 

Chef Simon’s chocolates are quite simply some of the finest in the UK. We’re talking flavours that turn heads, artful, jaw-droppingly-beautiful designs, and an approach that champions real ingredients, and exceptional technique. Every element, from ganache and caramel, to praline, mallow and pate de fruit, is crafted by hand, from scratch. 

The maker’s seasonal selection changes throughout the year, with the current collection containing such marvels as Smokey S’Mores (smoked cinnamon caramel, torched vanilla mallow and digestive biscuit), Jaffa Cake (orange pate de fruit, mandarin caramel, shortbread and popping candy), and Coffee & Walnut (espresso syrup, coffee ganache, roasted walnut pieces and walnut gianduja). 

If it’s good enough for the Queen, it’s good enough for mum, right? Famously this gorgeously pink-hued wine was served on the Royal Barge for the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee. 

Named after a nearby crystal-clear lake, Silent Pool Rose is luscious, delicate, and elegant – Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier grapes delivering soft notes of crushed summer fruits and cream. 

The family-run vineyard in the Surrey Hills is one of the most sustainable in the UK, working organically and biodynamically, in a way that supports all the little creatures that scurry and fly across the landscape. And the packaging is 100% recyclable too – touches we think make this wine taste even more exquisite. 

Once you’ve tried ‘real’ fudge, you can’t go back. If your mum has a penchant for the smooth, rich, melt-in-the-mouth variety, get in touch with Slab to arrange her Mother’s Day gift. 

Hand stirred and churned on the Isle of Wight, Slab’s creamy fudge truly is something to behold. And there’s a very good vegan selection too. 

Within the Mother’s Day collection are 24 hand cut pieces of artisan fudge in Raspberry & White Chocolate, Lemon Meringue, Sea Salted Caramel, Maple & Walnut, Cookies & Cream, and Death by Chocolate flavours. 

We think she’ll find these irresistible. The packaging is biodegradable and recyclable too. 

For more than 200 years, Lanique has been revered as one of the world’s most extraordinary specialist spirits. While its origins stretch back to Prussia, it was proudly revived in Britain in 2015, stacking up numerous awards since. The heady, perfumed, distinctive flavour of Lanique is achieved by steam distilling the very very best, most fragrant rose petals. 

This results in a spirit that sings of rose, raspberry, cherry, lime and juicy Turkish delight. Mum will adore this over ice with tonic in a spritz, stirred into cocktails, dashed into fizz, or even dropped into cooled ice tea on a warm day. 

When it comes to the ‘wow’ factor, macarons tick all the boxes. Their delicate appearance conjures Parisian bakeries, where they’re presented, almost like jewellery, in antique casements, or carefully stacked into beautiful pyramids. 

Handmade in Derbyshire, Macaron Bliss’ macarons are everything you want them to be  - pretty as a picture, and a combination of three different, remarkable, unmistakeable textures (crisp outer shell, chewy heart, and soft, creamy middle). 

There’s a flavour for every mum, be that Double Chocolate, Espresso, Passion Fruit & Milk Chocolate or Hazelnut Praline.  

Combine mum’s love of cocktails and tea with this fun gift from Bird & Blend. The kit is packed with a cold brew bottle and four loose leaf tea blends – Appt Spritz, Spicy Marg, Cococabana Coola, and MojiTEA. 

There’s also the maker’s Perfect Tea Spoon and a how-to guide. 

All mum needs to do is stick the kettle on, infuse, shake and pour to enjoy all the flavours of a classic cocktail, without the hangover! 

The soothing ritual of ending the day with a warm cup of cocoa is something more of us (but women especially) are enjoying. 

Marimba’s specially curated gift box delivers absolutely everything your mum could need to whip up the most indulgent hot chocolate ever this Mother’s Day. 

It includes a Dualit Cocoatiser, milk chocolate spoon, Marimba Melt mug and saucer, and three of Marimba’s premium, single-origin hot chocolate melts – Colombia 36% White, Venezuela 43% Milk, and Ecuador 71% Dark. Oh, there’s a pack of marshmallows too.
