Mother's Day Gifts

Buy Mother's Day gifts online in the UAE

In the UAE and across the Arab world, Mother's Day is celebrated on 21 March every year, the first day of spring. It is a day to thank the woman who holds the family together – with flowers, a family lunch, handmade cards from the children and a gift chosen with love. Perfume is one of the most meaningful Mother's Day gifts because it is personal and lasting: every time she wears it, she is reminded of you.

This collection brings together Mother's Day gifts from 11:11 – rose, floral, musk and oud perfumes for mum, bakhoor and home fragrance for the house she has made a home, and elegant gift sets. 11:11 is a UAE perfume brand that sells online only. Every 50ml 11:11 eau de parfum is AED 75 (was AED 99), made with up to 30% perfume oil and designed to be long-lasting. Perfumes arrive in a white 11:11 gift tube and bakhoor in a black 11:11 cube box. Delivery is free across the UAE within 2 business days, and you can pay by cash on delivery, card, Tabby or Tamara, backed by our Golden Guarantee.

Mother's Day traditions in the UAE

In many UAE homes, Mother's Day is a family affair. Children gather at their mother's or grandmother's house, often for a long lunch or an evening of Arabic coffee and sweets. Schools prepare cards and small crafts, and many workplaces send messages to the mothers on their teams. In Emirati and wider Arab culture, the mother holds a place of deep respect, and gifts are a way to express gratitude for everything she gives. It is common for siblings to share one special gift, and for grandchildren to bring something small of their own. Because it falls on a fixed date, 21 March is easy to plan for – ordering a few days early means the gift is ready for the family gathering.

Perfume gifts for mum

Many mothers love elegant, comforting scents: soft rose, white florals, clean musk and warm rose-oud. Think about the scent she already wears and the moments she enjoys most – family gatherings, quiet mornings, evenings out – and choose a perfume to match. Explore women's perfumes, discover long-lasting perfumes for women for scents that stay with her through the day, and see our best perfumes for women for proven favourites. A popular floral choice is 11:11 Lina, a bright floral-fruity eau de parfum. You'll find more in perfume gifts for her.

Gift ideas for every kind of mother

• The traditional mother – a rich rose-oud or oud perfume, and bakhoor for her majlis.
• The elegant mother – a refined white floral or jasmine for lunches and evenings out.
• The busy working mother – a clean musk or light floral that's easy to wear every day.
• The new mother – a soft, gentle musk and a calming home fragrance.
• The grandmother – a classic rose or oud and a box of bakhoor for the family house.
• The mother who has everything – a gift set or a discovery set so she can explore new scents.

Mother's Day gifts by scent family

• Rose – the most loved Mother's Day note, romantic and timeless; see rose perfumes.
• Floral – white flowers and jasmine for a feminine, uplifting scent; see floral perfumes and jasmine perfumes.
• Musk – soft, clean and comforting for everyday wear; see musk perfumes.
• Oud – rich and traditional, beautiful for family gatherings; see oud perfumes.
• Vanilla – warm, cosy and sweet; see vanilla perfumes.

Mother's Day arrives as the UAE weather starts to warm up, so lighter rose, floral and musk scents are especially pleasant for daytime, while rose-oud is lovely for evening family dinners.

Bakhoor and home fragrance for mum

For many mothers, home is everything – so a gift for the home can be just as personal as a perfume. Bakhoor is lit to welcome guests and to make the house feel festive, and ours comes in a black 11:11 cube box. Browse bakhoor and add a home fragrance from our air fresheners for a gift the whole family will enjoy at her next gathering.

Mother's Day gift sets

A gift set makes Mother's Day feel extra special. The 11:11 White Diamond for Women set is a luxurious choice. Browse more gift sets and perfume boxes, or if you're not sure of her taste, a perfume discovery set lets her try several scents and find a new favourite.

How to choose a perfume for your mother

Start with what she already loves. Look at the perfume on her dressing table or think about the scent you remember from her: if it's floral, choose rose, jasmine or white flowers; if it's rich and Arabian, choose oud or rose-oud; if she prefers something subtle, a clean musk is perfect. Consider when she'll wear it – a light scent for daily use, a richer one for occasions. If you're buying with siblings, a gift set combining a perfume and bakhoor gives her something personal and something for the home. And if you're still unsure, a discovery set is a lovely way to let her choose.

Mother's Day gifts from children, partners and colleagues

Who is giving the gift can shape what you choose. Grown-up children often pool together for a luxurious perfume or a gift set, while younger children love presenting a perfume they have “chosen” themselves with a little help. A husband may choose a romantic rose or a richer evening scent for the mother of his children, adding a personal note about everything she does for the family. Colleagues and friends usually keep it simple, with a soft musk or a light floral that suits any taste. Whatever the relationship, a perfume in its white 11:11 gift tube feels thoughtful and complete.

Gifts for mothers-in-law and new mothers

Mothers-in-law hold a special place in many families, and Mother's Day is a lovely chance to show respect and affection. A classic rose-oud or an elegant floral is a safe, graceful choice, and bakhoor for her home is always appreciated. For a new mother celebrating her first Mother's Day, choose something soft and comforting – a clean musk or a gentle floral – that she can wear during busy days at home.

Making the day special

A perfume gift feels even more personal with a few small touches: write her a handwritten card from all the children, gather the family for lunch or Arabic coffee in the evening, and let the grandchildren present the gift. Light a little bakhoor before she arrives so the home welcomes her with fragrance. These simple gestures turn a beautiful bottle into a memory she'll treasure.

Other family occasions

Celebrate every family moment with fragrance: plan ahead for Father's Day gifts in June, and keep birthday gifts in mind for her special day later in the year.

Caring for her new perfume

Help her enjoy her gift for longer with a few simple tips. Perfume should be kept away from direct sunlight and heat, so a cool drawer or dressing table is better than a sunny windowsill or a hot car. Spraying onto moisturised skin helps the scent last, and the neck, wrists and behind the ears are the best places to apply it. Encourage her to keep the white 11:11 gift tube – it protects the bottle and makes it easy to carry in a handbag.
