These are the top 5 gifts mums would most like to receive tomorrow

Alison Bough

As if you needed a reminder, tomorrow is Mother’s Day and you know what that means. A last minute scramble to get a card and present for your mum.

Apart from homemade gifts, what do mums really want for Mother’s Day? Research carried out by Ovenclean, a cleaning company in the UK, has revealed the top five gifts that mothers would most like to receive tomorrow. And no, it doesn’t include a clean oven…

And no, it doesn’t include a clean oven…

5th Place – Jewellery
Diamonds are a girl’s best friend, right? Well, we’re not saying it has to be diamonds, but with 10% of mums voting for jewellery it’s safe to say that this would be a good choice.

4th Place – Beauty/Spa Treatment
Not many women would say no to beauty and spa treatment, so it’s not surprising that 11% voted to receive this gift, putting it in 4th place.

3rd Place – Experience (such as theatre or afternoon tea)
Experiences and time spent with family is priceless, which may be why a day experience was a popular choice, scoring 14% of mother’s votes.

2nd Place – Gift Voucher
What do you get the mum who has it all? Choice, it would seem, as 15% of mothers would opt to receive a gift voucher to spend in their favourite store.

The Winner – Perfume
Beating off the competition by just 1%, perfume was voted as the gift that most mums would most like to receive on their special day, accumulating 16% of votes.

Other gifts that narrowly missed out on a place in the top five included hair and beauty products, (9%), a holiday or a night away (9%), home or garden items (5%), clothing (7%) or accessories, such as a handbag (6%).

Hope this helps for inspiration.
