10 Gorgeous Cornish Gifts to Spoil Mum With
Mother’s Day is just around the corner, and what better way to show your love and appreciation for the woman who has always been there for you than with a heartfelt gift? As much as she protests that there’s no need to buy anything, why not go the extra mile and treat her to something beautiful from our range of artisan Cornish gifts?
From elegant pieces of jewellery, to striking works of art, and exceptional homewares, you’re bound to find a present that perfectly suits her personality and style.
So, forget about the run-of-the-mill gift card and chocolates and surprise Mum with something truly special that speaks volumes about your gratitude.
Give thanks with art
Express your love for Mum with Niko Brown’s Blue Love Bubble. This handcrafted work of art features a cluster of fused glass hearts – little pebbles that are individually unique works of art in themselves. Made in Cornwall with the greatest artistic passion, this piece comes professionally framed and ready to gift.
The ultimate in luxury
Give Mum the very best with Atlantic Blankets‘ new Pink Cashmere Merino Blanket. Traditionally woven, with a contemporary design, this 100% natural blanket blends super soft cashmere with cosy merino wool. We feature the pretty soft pink, but it also comes in 5 other attractive hues so you can pick Mum’s favourite colour.
Eye-catching bronze
She’ll be wowed by a pair of bronze earrings from Cornish jeweller, St Justin. Crafted from bronze that is made from recycled copper and Cornish tin that was rescued from an ancient shipwreck, each set of these special earrings carries the history and essence of Cornwall.
We love the Oak Leaf and Bee designs, and you’ll find a charming selection of other bronze earrings at St Justin – perfect for all kinds of Mums.
Cornish gifts for keen cooks
Caitlin’s Cornish Textiles have the kitchen accessories sorted with their stylish range of Aprons and matching Tea Towels. Handmade in Cornwall from soft, yet hard-wearing cotton, they are both machine washable and suitable to tumble dry. And with prints as wonderful as the duck egg blue Seed Head pattern, what’s not to love? Gift alone or as a pair to make Mum’s day!
Incredible skincare
Pamper her with a bar of Chamomile and Calendula Handmade Vegan Soap by Kelsey Cornish. Lovingly made in small batches, using the traditional cold press method, this all-natural soap is exceptionally kind to sensitive skin thanks to its blend of skin-loving oils and nut butters.
Nourishing and moisturising for both the face and body, and with an appearance as gorgeous as its scent, this soap looks lovely on the bath side and feels like paradise on the skin.
Bespoke ceramics
Lovers of fine ceramics will be thrilled to receive the Black Indra Salad Bowl by Studio Agni. With an elegant and minimal design, this striking bowl works equally well as a display piece, as it does a functional piece of tableware because it’s dishwasher, microwave and oven safe.
Studio Agni artist, Funda Ersoysal, takes great inspiration from the organic shapes in nature and transfers this to her pieces – right through to the unusual speckled glaze that, along with the bowl’s shape, makes each and every piece unique.
Chopping boards with a personal touch
The beauty of wood is in its distinctive shades and markings. And an example of that is in Hartwood Timber’s Oak Chopping Boards. Made for use as a bread or cheese board, or indeed everyday chopping, these quality boards are made from lengths of sustainable European oak – all equally beautiful, but unique in their own way.
Have one personalised with a special message or a meaningful date, and it becomes a gift that she’ll treasure even more.
Seashell jewellery
Remind her of happy beach days spent together in Cornwall, with a Limpet Necklace and Bracelet from Sea Spirit, a Cornish jeweller based close to the quaint seaside village of Port Isaac.
Both the necklace and beaded bracelet are made from sterling silver and enhanced by beautiful limpet pendants that are sculpted from 100% recycled silver. A stunning silver replica of the limpets that we see dotted all over the rocks in Cornwall, and an original gift that Mum won’t have seen before!
Bathtime bliss
Mums deserve some quality downtime after everything they do for us, and a soothing bath is the perfect way to unwind.
Elevate her bathtime with a sprinkle of The Woods – Pink Himalayan Salt Soak by Bloomtown. Mineral-rich, with the fresh woodsy scent of vetiver, cedar and bergamot, this natural salt soak is packed full of pink Himalayan salts and enriched with vitamin C to help instil a sense of calm and tranquillity in body and mind.
Spring sips
When it comes to authentic Cornish gifts, you can’t beat Elemental Distilling Co’s Spring Citrus Gin. Using locally sourced ingredients to stay close to their roots, this Cornish company has created this wonderfully zingy and citrusy gin that makes a great spring G&T!
Think Elemental’s Classic Gin with the addition of fresh oranges and lemons and you’ll get an idea of the zesty sweetness this delicious gin has to offer. We think it makes a delightful Mother’s Day gift, and you never know, Mum may even share it with you!
