With Mother's Day fast approaching, it might feel tough to find the right gifts to fully express the love and admiration you have for her.
Luckily for you, the Art UK shop has an amazing range of gifts to spoil all the special women in your life: whether it's a grandmother, mother-in-law, stepmother or simply a person who makes your life better. We have cards, prints and homewares featuring beautiful artworks, as well as books and jewellery for the art lovers that you want to spoil.
Greeting cards
Picture-perfect bouquets on a greeting card with your heartfelt message inside is a sure-fire way to make your mum smile.
Punny frames
Perhaps our limited-edition beautiful botanical prints with a witty caption are more their style? If not, feel free to browse our other floral prints from famous artists including Claude Monet and Samuel John Peploe.
