Mother’s Day Gift Guide — Shop Local in Kenilworth
Mother’s Day is the perfect excuse to slow down and choose something thoughtful — the kind of gift that feels personal, meaningful, and made with care.
If you’re shopping locally this year, Kenilworth has some absolute gems. From beautiful home fragrance to books, flowers, and handcrafted spirits, here are some of our favourite businesses to help you find the perfect gift.
Artibus Yard
If you’re looking for something elegant and personal, Artibus Yard is a wonderful place to start.
Their hand-poured natural candles are a firm favourite of ours (especially my wife’s). Each candle is named after local towns and villages, with its own signature scent inspired by the area — which makes them feel even more special to gift.
Alongside candles, you’ll find beautifully curated treasures including locally grown dried flowers, jewellery, bath and body products, and homeware pieces you won’t see everywhere else. It’s the kind of shop where you always discover something unexpected.
Perfect for: mums who love interiors, relaxing evenings, and thoughtful details.
Kenilworth Books
A true gem of an independent bookshop.
Kenilworth Books is beautifully curated from the moment you walk past the window. Inside you’ll find an inspiring mix of books, gifts, and greetings cards — all chosen with real care and knowledge.
The team are always welcoming and full of recommendations, and they regularly host author events and book signings, which makes the shop feel like a real part of the community. It’s been part of the town for years, and honestly, Kenilworth wouldn’t feel the same without it.
Perfect for: readers, lifelong learners, and mums who deserve some quiet time with a good book.
Paintbox Blooms
A flower farm and florist based at East Chase Farm — yes, on the very same farm as East Chase Distillers.
Paintbox Blooms grows seasonal, sustainable cut flowers in a dedicated flower field, working with nature and the British growing seasons. The result is flowers that feel fresh, natural, and full of character.
For Mother’s Day you’ll find gift bouquets, subscriptions, workshops, and special seasonal arrangements — including collaborations with East Chase Distillers.
Perfect for: flower lovers, garden lovers, and anyone who appreciates something locally grown and seasonal.
East Chase Distillers
Set in the heart of the Warwickshire countryside, East Chase Distillers produces gin and vodka using natural botanicals in their Holstein still.
Everything is created in small batches, with a focus on smooth, balanced flavour and real ingredients — no shortcuts. It’s proper craft distilling with attention to detail you can taste.
For Mother’s Day, you’ll also find special gift bundles available on their website (including flowers), making it easy to give something a little different this year.
Perfect for: gin lovers, foodies, and mums who enjoy a well-earned drink.
Shop Small, Make It Meaningful
Choosing local businesses doesn’t just mean buying a gift — it supports real people, independent makers, and the character of the town we all love.
And honestly? The gifts usually feel far more special too.
