How did you spend last year’s Mother’s Day (or the one before that, for that matter)? Toasting your mum over a Zoom quiz? Watching her open gifts via FaceTime? Well, not this year. Lockdowns are (hopefully) a thing of the past so this year it’s time to pull out all the stops and treat your mum to the day she deserves.

And, for Mother’s Day 2022, there are few better destinations for top-to-toe pampering than Harvey Nichols. The Knightsbridge department store is putting on an array of treats for mothers and their offspring to enjoy together, as well as a whole host of options for those who prefer to get together at home – but don’t want to miss out on the decadence.

A Meal for Mum

We can think of few better ways to treat mum than with a lavish shopping spree followed by an elegant lunch – and Harvey Nichols’ Fifth Floor Café is more than happy to provide. For Mother’s Day 2022 it has devised a spoiling package including a three-course meal, paired cocktail and, to keep the pampering going, a Sisley Black Rose facial to enjoy at a later date.

Settle in with a Ketel One cosmopolitan or espresso martini before choosing from an exquisite set menu featuring dishes including chicken and leek terrine with rhubarb chutney, salmon with golden chowder, and beef rump with mash and devilled sauce. For dessert, there’s milk chocolate and coffee bean tart, cheesecake, or vanilla and passion fruit mousse while all guests will be welcomed back to Harvey Nichols’ First Floor beauty space for a complimentary Sisley Black Rose Hydrating and Glowing Facial throughout April.

Harvey Nichols Hampers

Hampers may be more traditionally associated with Christmas but, if there’s anything that the proliferation of afternoon tea deliveries and Michelin-starred meal at home during lockdown taught us, it’s that there’s never a bad time for a wicker hamper full of delectable treats.

Accordingly, Harvey Nichols has put together a whole host of boxes, bags and baskets for mums of all kinds this Mother’s Day. Highlights include the classic Tell Your Mum You Love Her hamper, packed with savoury snacks, sophisticated sweets and Harvey Nichols’ best-in-class alcohol-free fizz. For a bigger celebration opt for the Mother’s Day Afternoon Tea hamper, filled with champagne, fine tea and coffee and enough sweet treats for a full day of festivities.

Weather forecast looking good? Harvey Nichols’ Mother’s Day picnic gift box packs a bevy of al fresco delicacies – including prosecco, nuts, crackers, olive paste and fudge – into a pastel-hued floral tote bag perfect for the park. Better yet, pair it with the department store’s hat box, brimming with Premier Cru champagne, passionfruit cocktails and sweets to really get the party started.

Beauty Treatments

So now you’ve booked lunch and picked out a gift, the only thing left is to make sure she looks and feels like a million dollars – which is where Harvey Nichols’ beauty department steps in. Along with an extensive array of counters selling the latest make-up and skincare products, the department store is also home to a host of treatment rooms and salons offering cutting edge facials, relaxing massages and indulgent beauty treatments.

Why not kick the day off by treating her to a high-tech facial courtesy of The Light Salon.
