Treat mum to a special gift from one of the city’s wonderful small businesses
If you’re shopping for a last-minute gift for Mother’s Day on Sunday March 15, let us serve you some inspiration from the city’s best homegrown brands. Whether it’s a set of personalised pyjamas, candles, or jewellery, these thoughtful Mother’s Day gifts are sure to impress.
Sketch Dubai
Sketch is the brainchild of two Dubai-based sisters who created their brand to elevate luxury gifting. Perfect for gifting something that feels totally bespoke, their personalised pyjamas come in cotton and satin, with both long and short styles available. Alongside pyjamas, they do loungewear and accessories.
Jesse + Boo
Jesse + Boo create lovely personalised childrenswear, but this Mother’s Day, they’ve extended into adult clothing with a Mother’s Day tee. As much a keepsake as a present, the blank back allows children to write their own messages to mum on, sharing a sweet reminder of all the things they love about her.
Krump
For the Pilates-loving mum, female-founded Krump is behind a gorgeous range of elevated Pilates accessories. Designed by Dubai Pilates professional Freja Rampe with the form and fun of your workout in mind, the range features wearable weights, grip socks, band straps and suede mats, all designed to elevate your next mat or Reformer session.
Happy Tribe
Co-founders Gillian and Jess launched The Happy Tribe in 2022 to bring a bit of colour – and personalisation – into the gifting world. They began with personalised pouches, but their product range has expanded into so much more: think gym bags, totes and accessories.
House of Habanero
The UAE’s first dedicated retailer for all things spicy, a gift from House of Habanero, is perfect for mums who like to turn up the heat when they’re cooking. Flavour enthusiasts can discover some seriously good hot sauces and condiments that are sourced from all over the world at this one-stop shop, featuring everything from BBQ rubs to seriously spicy seasonings. Find them both online and at their newly opened Alserkal store.
Home and Soul
For the interiors-obsessed mum, a piece from Home and Soul is the kind of gift that turns a house into a home. This lovely Dubai-based concept store handpicks pieces that are packed with character and add a unique dimension to any space. Blending style, comfort, and functionality, the collection features everything from soft furnishings and home decor to outdoor homeware and lighting.
Victory Clothing
A newcomer to the athleisure scene is Voctory Clothing, designed to flatter and support all shapes and sizes, whether you’re on the school run, working out, or grabbing coffee with the girls. Pieces range from matching bra tops and leggings in a kaleidoscope of colours, to sports dresses, jackets and tennis sets.
Never Far Home
Dubai-based Lucy Gow launched Never Far Home as a luxury linen house, hand-designed in Dubai and inspired by Australia. While the roll-up beds are the perfect accessories for days outside or picnics in the desert, they also have a beautiful range of pillowcases and bedding, ideal for making home feel that little bit cosier.
Seawashed Dubai
For the free-spirited beach lover, Sea Washed’s collection of timeless designed-in-Dubai bags and accessories are inspired by sunlit shores, salty breezes, and treasures found along the tide. Their signature straw bags are the perfect bag to throw everything into for a day at the beach, and are all handwoven with natural straw and embroidered with oceanic-inspired motifs. Crafted by talented women artisans in Bali, each bag supports traditional weaving communities.
Wicks and Pages
Created by two book-loving sisters, Wicks and Pages is a Duba-born brand creating beautiful hand-poured nostalgic scented candles. Inspired by great literature, these small batch candles all use 100% soy wax, lead-free & zinc-free cotton wicks. Themed scented candles include Lady Whistledown, Mr Darcy’s Library and the Forbidden Forest.
Home Soda
Add a little luxe to mum’s favourite outdoor spaces with Home Soda’s collection of striped outdoor cushions, pool floats and bean bags. Whether it’s for the balcony or the garden, Home Soda’s premium outdoor soft furnishings were made for bringing a little wow-factor to outdoor spaces, whether it’s lounging in the pool or curling up with a book.
Bake my Day
For mums with a sweet tooth, Bake My Day has proudly been making some of the city’s most delicious snacks since 2014. As well as individual cookies and brownies, it’s the tins that we turn to when we’re looking for a gift that’s designed to share, coming both as deep-dish doughs or tins of mini cookies.
