By Glorious

We know that whilst your mum may be your favourite person in the world, she can also be the trickiest person to buy for!

This year, give that special person a present that will improve her wellbeing! We’ve compiled a list of our favourite items the sporty, wellness-loving woman in your life will love!

MAAREE sports bra

6.  MAAREE, Solidarity High Impact Sports Bra £68

Everyone needs an extra bit of support! Sports bras are a very complex piece of equipment and an essential part of our workout gear. With so many fashion-based companies releasing (non science-based) sportswear, it’s always been difficult to navigate the world of sports bras, until we found MAAREE! We love how comfortable, stylish and versatile all their products are, but particularly their award-winning Solidarity High Impact Sports Bra. The bra is designed with impact in mind! Perfect for anyone who loves exercise like HIIT, running and combat. The adjustable Overband, convertible shoulder straps and a design using non-elastic and elastic panelling, make for the perfect combination of comfort and performance. Sizes range from 30C to 38G

Flower Factory offer a floristry class

7.  The Flower Factory, Flower Market Tour and Bouquet Workshop, £96 per person.

We know we said giving a bouquet of flowers can be a bit of a cliche, but hear us out. What if you and your mum CREATED the bunch of flowers?! Surround yourself with beautiful blooms as you scour one of the best flower markets in the city and get creative with floral design. The Flower Factory is offering a three-hour floristry class that kicks off with a tour around Columbia Road Flower market in London in the morning (before it gets too busy) where you’ll get the insider scoop on the best places to shop for all your flower needs. After the market tour, you will return to the flower studio and learn to make a seasonal bouquet using the spiralling method. The Flower Factory style is wild, relaxed and unique, but there’s plenty of room for you to express your own creativity! Classes run regularly throughout the year.

Ralph Lauren x TrendyGolf mid-layer

9.  Ralph Lauren X TRENDYGOLF, Womens Bandana Mid – Layer £155

Whether she’s heading to the gym, walking the dog or hitting the fairways, a mid-layer is a must. Due to their fast drying technical fabrics, stretch and comfort makes them one of the most versatile pieces of clothing one can own. Our friends at TRENDYGOLF have teamed up with Ralph Lauren to bring you this LE Quarter zip from the new season of RLX Ralph Lauren. This piece is great for layering in cooler conditions and can also be worn on its own in warmer conditions. It features a quarter zip neck, flatlock seams, raglan sleeves and a slightly dropped hem for improved coverage. Aside from its fabulous bandana pattern, it’s made from four-way stretch fabric to help keep you comfortable on and off the course. Oh, and if that wasn’t enough, this top also offers UV 50+ protection, a must for golf, walking or training in the bright sunshine!

Take a break in The Kingfisher Houseboat, Pembrokeshire

10.  The Kingfisher Houseboat, Pembrokeshire, £150-£200 per night

Fancy pushing the er… canoe out?! We’re big fans of The Kingfisher Houseboat located in Kilgetty, Pembrokeshire. This powered off-grid cabin is the perfect place to escape and unwind for a mini-break. The wooden cabin is on the water’s edge and is perfect for those daring enough to take the plunge for a wild swim. A canoe also comes with the cabin – ideal for exploring the lake and there’s plenty of walking trails surrounding this quaint short-stay. Once you’ve had a full day of action, relax by the water with a glass of wine and a BBQ. This beautiful lakeside cabin is sure to leave you and your mum feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. Be quick – there are only a few dates left in March and April.
