From relaxing essential oil blends that will ease tension and help her relax in the comfort of her home, to a special afternoon tea or a spa getaway from the everyday.

We have Mother’s Day gifts to suit every budget, but more importantly, thoughtful gifts that tell her she’s loved.

1. Mother’s Day Afternoon Tea

A true classic, you can’t go wrong with a Mother’s Day Afternoon Tea (£35 per person / £17.50 per child). It combines everything you might want from a special Mother’s Day; time together at a beautiful hotel in the heart of the New Forest National Park and delicious sweet and savoury treats. All this is perfectly paired with a pot of Birchalls’ finest silk prism teas or fair trade coffee, or even a glass of Taittinger Champagne (£17 per person) to add even more sparkle to the occasion.

This year, we’re marking the occasion with a magical take on the classic escape. Step into our Enchanted Forest Afternoon Tea – a woodland-inspired feast, featuring playful sweet treats, elegant savouries, fluffy scones and fine teas.

And then, after your indulgent treat you always could go for a wander in our beautiful forest, this time of year is so special, hearing the birdsong and feeling the spring sun and crisp air on your face.

 

2. The Gift of Choice

You know she’d love every experience at our New Forest hotel; a spa day at SenSpa or a spa break escape; a hotel stay with dinner, or an afternoon tea or lunch for two. But which one to choose!

Let her have the choice and give her a hotel gift voucher this Mother’s Day. Valid for 12 months, a hotel gift voucher can be used towards any hotel experience, from relaxing weekend breaks and pampering spa days to a midweek retreat, lunches, dinners or afternoon tea. Plus, a monetary voucher gives you flexibility to align with your budget and it gives mum the wonderful gift of choice and something special to look forward to.

3. A Day Just for Mum

The wonderful thing is, at our spa hotel in the New Forest we have a range of spa days to suit different budgets. Half day spa experiences are available from £99 per person, which include access to all spa and health club facilities. Like the Afternoon Delight, which gives her time in the spa and a delightful afternoon tea. And then there are full day spa days, which include lunch and a treatment, like the Dew You Spa Day, designed to hydrate, nourish and replenish mind and body.

A spa day gift for Mother’s Day is special because it’s time just for her. It gives her the essential time she needs and deserves to relax; it acknowledges all that she does and the energy she gives to her family. A spa day isn’t simply an indulgence; it recognises the need for important self-care and restoration.

 

4. SenSpa At Home

What could be more wonderful than turning your home into a spa. This Mother’s Day if you know she’ll love SenSpa’s relaxing aromas, give her the gift of SenSpa at home.

The SenSpa Signature Gift Box (£39.95) contains SenSpa’s most popular products so she can fill the room our immersive, enveloping essential oil blend, used exclusively at SenSpa, or add a few drops to a soothing bath and completely unwind from the comfort of home.

Or perhaps you know she’ll love our SenSpa Relax & Calm Collection (£12.00); the luxurious travel-sized Relax & Calm assortment infuses lavender with a dreamy and exotic blend of essential oils and it’s a budget-friendly way to give her the gift of calm this Mother’s Day.

5. SenSpa Occasions

This is the gift that keeps on giving! SenSpa Occasions vouchers start from £195, and are a collection of 5 or 10 vouchers, giving 3-hour evening passes to all of our hotel’s fitness, relaxation and spa facilities. The best part is, the vouchers are transferable, so she can share them with you, friends or other family members if she wishes.

SenSpa Occasions vouchers give her the chance to create her very own evening spa experiences, should she wish to book additional treatments and even dinner in the Zen Garden Restaurant to accompany her spa session.

 

6. The Gift of Time Away

The ultimate gift of deep relaxation is time away on a spa break surrounded by nature in the New Forest National Park.

This Mother’s Day why not book her the new Clear Head Club Spa Break. An overnight stay with continental breakfast and essential time to slow down and feel renewed. She’ll have full use of the Health Club facilities throughout her stay, dinner in one of our three hotel restaurants each evening, a spa day with a relaxing 30-minute treatment of her choice and a complimentary forest therapy guide so she can get out and enjoy mindful walks in the National Park right from our doorstep.

Give her the chance to reconnect with nature and re-engage her senses this Mother’s Day.

7. Make it a Special Dining Experience

Show her she’s loved with a special meal out; sit down to modern British dishes, tempting Thai flavours or classic French cuisine. Take her out for lunch, or dress up and go for dinner at one of our three on-site hotel restaurants this Mother’s Day.

Cambium’s menu celebrates our British coast and country using fine seasonal ingredients from our New Forest larder. The Thai chefs at the Zen Garden have crafted a menu of aromatic, expertly balanced flavours of authentic Thai cooking. Or, whisk mum off to Paris for an afternoon at Le Blaireau – our corner of France in the middle of an ancient woodland.

This spring, choose the tranquil settings of our New Forest hotel restaurants as the beautiful backdrop to your Mother’s Day celebrations. Whether you come in for lunch or dinner, or gift her an unforgettable spa day or a deeply relaxing spa break.

 

There is no doubt that our New Forest hotel is the perfect place to celebrate Mother’s Day, with options to suit any budget, whether you wish to whisk Mum away for a night, or give her the gift of choice with a thoughtful gift voucher and something special to look forward to.
