Mother’s Day on 15th March is a special opportunity to celebrate the women who support us. In Farnham, it’s more than just a date; it’s a chance to shop locally and choose gifts with heart.
At Elphicks, we’ve helped families on West Street mark these moments for over 140 years. This year, our “She gives you everything. Give her this moment” campaign highlights that very sentiment.
Whether you are planning ahead or need last-minute Mother’s Day shopping in Farnham, our curated gift guide is here to help you find something she will truly treasure.
Gifts For the Beauty Queen
In our experience, every family has a beauty queen. She’s the mum who appreciates a well curated skincare routine, delights in a new fragrance, and understands that a long, luxurious soak in the bath at the end of a long day can feel restorative. For her, Mothering Sunday is the perfect excuse for indulgence and a well deserved moment of self care, so she’d love to receive top products from premium beauty brands.
At Elphicks, our Beauty Hall brings together some of the most respected names in skincare and fragrance, all under one roof. Choosing beauty gifts in store means you can explore textures, test fragrances, and speak directly to our experienced team. They can guide you towards products suited to sensitive skin, anti ageing concerns, or simply a preferred scent family. This personal service is one of the reasons so many customers describe us as the best place for Mother’s Day gifts in Farnham.
Skincare She Will Love
Clarins remains a firm favourite among customers who stop by our Farnham department store for Mothering Sunday. With plant based formulations and luxurious textures, Clarins gift sets offer both visible results and a sense of indulgence. From nourishing body creams to advanced serums, a carefully curated Clarins skincare set can transform her daily routine into a moment of calm.
For those who prefer dermatologist developed solutions, Clinique is an equally popular choice. Known for its allergy tested formulas and iconic three step system, Clinique makes it easy to select a thoughtful, practical gift. A beautifully packaged gift set featuring cleansers, moisturisers, or subtle spring makeup shades is always well received.
Fragrance and Bathing Indulgence
When it comes to bath and body luxury, Molton Brown remains a firm favourite. With its distinctive scents and elegant packaging, Molton Brown bath and body collections elevate daily life into something special. Plus, a beautifully boxed set makes a statement without the need for elaborate wrapping.

Fashion is far more than clothing; it is self expression, confidence, and creativity woven into everyday life. For the mum whose wardrobe is her canvas, Mother’s Day is an opportunity to add a piece she will reach for again and again. Perhaps she loves elegant tailoring, relaxed coastal style, or timeless British classics? Whatever her look, our womenswear department is full of inspiration.
Buying fashion as a gift can feel daunting, but visiting our Farnham department store for Mothering Sunday displays allows you to see the collections up close and speak to knowledgeable staff. We are always happy to advise on sizing and styling, and gift receipts provide additional reassurance.

You will also find the ever popular White Stuff collection in store, loved for its relaxed British style, colourful prints and effortlessly wearable pieces. Even better, you can enjoy 20% off all White Stuff womenswear in store until 4th March, making it the perfect opportunity to treat Mum to comfortable, feel good fashion she will reach for again and again.
Timeless British Elegance

A soft spring knit or a versatile midi dress could be the perfect addition to her wardrobe for Mother’s Day in Farnham in 2026.
For refined, classic style, Hobbs remains a go to label. Hobbs is synonymous with polished tailoring, elegant dresses, and investment pieces designed to last. A structured jacket, silk blouse, or beautiful handbag can become a style staple for years to come, making them thoughtful gifts for the mum who appreciates classic British fashion.

Gifts For the Home Cook
It sounds like a cliché, but for many mums, the kitchen is the heart of the home. It is where family traditions are created and shared, where Sunday lunches are prepared with love, and where favourite recipes are perfected. If your mum finds joy in cooking or entertaining, our homewares department is filled with inspiration.
Shopping in person allows you to appreciate the weight of a cast iron pan, the glaze of a ceramic bowl, and the craftsmanship behind each piece. It is this tactile experience that makes visiting us for last-minute Mother’s Day shopping in Farnham both practical and enjoyable.
Iconic Cookware
Few names are as iconic in cookware as Le Creuset. Instantly recognisable for its vibrant enamelled cast iron, Le Creuset pieces are built to last for generations. A classic casserole dish or grill pan is not simply a practical gift, but a family heirloom in the making, destined to be used for countless future meals.
Alternatively, Le Creuset’s stoneware mugs are designed for lasting durability and everyday use, combining style with exceptional heat retention. Until 2nd March, you can also enjoy a special in-store offer at Elphicks, with four Le Creuset stoneware mugs available for the price of three, making it even easier to create a colourful collection that she can use every day.
Charming Table & Glassware
For a touch of British charm, Emma Bridgewater offers delightful ceramics that bring warmth and personality to the table. From patterned mugs to serving bowls, Emma Bridgewater designs are both practical and joyful. A beautifully wrapped mug paired with her favourite tea or coffee can be a simple yet heartfelt gesture.
Gifting for an avid home cook can also extend to elegant glassware, sustainable stoneware, table linens, and assorted home gifts available at our Farnham department store for Mothering Sunday. Thoughtful details transform everyday meals into occasions, and Mother’s Day is the perfect excuse to elevate the dining table.
