Top 10 Mother’s Day Gifts for Food Lovers

Mother’s Day is fast approaching, and let’s be honest - your mum has put up with a lot. From your questionable toddler tantrums to your teenage ‘phases’ (yes, we all had one), she’s been your biggest cheerleader, therapist and personal chef come taxi rolled into one. 

So, how do you say “Mum, you’re amazing and deserve the world”?  

For me, its just about showing your care. Mums are inherently grateful for any effort that shows your appreciation but to maybe treat her to a nice meal out or something more out of the ordinary will show that you have thought outside the box and taken time to truly deliver a heartfelt gift to say thank you for all that she does.  

 Here at WonderDays, we feel just as passionate about treasuring our mums as you do, so we’ve rounded up the Top 10 Mother’s Day foodie experiences from WonderDays that will have her feeling loved, appreciated and well-fed - because let’s face it, a mum with exquisite food is a happy mum. 

1. Afternoon Tea – But Make It Fancy  

A cup of tea and a scone can fix almost anything, and mum deserves the best of the best. Whether it’s a sky high afternoon tea with a view, a gin-infused tea session, or a lavish hotel spread, this is a chance for her to sip, snack and feel utterly spoiled. 

Perfect for: The mum who always has a biscuit stash and believes tea solves everything. 

 2. Chocolate-Making Workshop 

Your mum spent years making sure you didn’t eat too much sugar. Now’s her chance to rebel. Let her dive into a hands-on chocolate making class, where she can melt and taste-test to her heart’s content. And the best part? You can subtly hint that she might want to ‘accidentally’ make too much so you can help her out. 

Perfect for: The mum who ‘only wants one bite’ but eats half the bar. 

 3. Wine Tasting & Vineyard Tour  

Give your mum the gift of swirling, sniffing, and sipping like a true connoisseur. Whether she prefers bold reds, crisp whites, or a cheeky rosé, this vineyard tour and wine tasting experience will make her feel like the queen she is. And if she’s feeling extra fancy, some experiences even offer cheese pairings (because of course they do). 

Perfect for: The mum who’s perfected the ‘just one glass’ pour. 

 4. Michelin-Star Dining Experience  

Forget the usual ‘Mum’s Night Off’ takeaway - this is the real VIP treatment. Michelin-starred meals, beautifully plated dishes, and a dining experience she’ll talk about for years. No cooking, no dishes, and an excuse to get dressed up? Sounds like the dream. 

Perfect for: The mum who deserves five-star treatment, every day. 

5. Sushi-Making Masterclass  

If your mum loves sushi but hasn’t quite mastered the art of making it without everything falling apart (relatable), this one’s for her. A hands-on sushi-making class will have her rolling, slicing, and showing off her new skills in no time. 

Perfect for: The mum who watches ‘MasterChef’ and says, ‘I could do that.’ 

 6. Cheese & Wine Tasting  

A well-crafted cheese board is an art form, and if your mum is the kind of woman who takes her brie very seriously, she’ll love this cheese and wine experience. Expect delicious tastings, expert tips, and plenty of “Ooooh, try this one!” moments. 

Perfect for: The mum who always ‘accidentally’ buys the extra-large cheese platter. 

 7. Cooking Class 

If your mum loves cooking shows and secretly thinks she could outdo the contestants, now’s her chance. From pasta making with an Italian pro to patisserie lessons fit for a Parisian bakery, this experience will let her unleash her inner culinary queen.  

Perfect for: The mum who critiques TV chefs like she’s on the judging panel. 

8. Gin Tasting & Distillery Tour 

A gin-credible experience (see what we did there?). Mum can tour a distillery, sample handcrafted gins, and even mix her own. If she’s a fan of a well-made G&T, this is basically the equivalent of winning the lottery. 

Perfect for: The mum who asks for ‘just a splash’ of tonic but means ‘barely any’. 

9. Afternoon Tea River Cruise 

Imagine mum enjoying tea, cake, and bubbles, all while gliding down a picturesque river. It’s a perfect blend of relaxation and indulgence, and let’s be honest - she totally deserves both. 

Perfect for: The mum who loves a scenic view (and a sneaky second helping of cake). 

10. Whiskey Tasting & Cocktail Masterclass 

If your mum prefers a stronger tipple, a whiskey tasting session or cocktail-making class is a fun and boozy way to mix things up (literally). She’ll get to shake, stir, and sip like a pro. 

Perfect for: The mum who can out-drink the younger crowd at family parties. 

Mums work hard. Like, really hard. So, this Mother’s Day, skip the supermarket flowers and give her an experience she’ll truly love (and talk about for months). Whether she’s a chocolate lover, a fine-dining queen, or a cocktail-shaking pro, there’s a WonderDays foodie experience that’s just perfect for her.
