Mother’s Day is the perfect time to celebrate the incredible women in our lives, and if your mum loves music, a gift that reflects her passion is sure to strike the right chord!
Whether she plays an instrument, dances along at live gigs, or simply enjoys putting together the perfect Spotify playlist, these ten gift ideas will be music to her ears. From heartfelt keepsakes to practical must-haves, there’s something here for every music-loving mum.
1. Music-themed jewellery
Jewellery is a classic gift, but when you personalise it to match Mum’s love of music, it becomes something truly special. Instead of a generic piece, choose something that reflects her passion – whether it’s her favourite instrument, a beloved song, or a symbol of the music she loves.
Some thoughtful ideas include:
- A charm bracelet with miniature musical instruments
- A treble clef or music note pendant or earrings
- A little brooch of the instrument she plays
- A custom soundwave necklace featuring the waveform of a favourite song
With a gift like this, every time she wears it, she’ll be reminded of both her love for music and the thought you put into choosing something just for her.
2. Online piano lessons
If your mum has always dreamed of learning the piano or brushing up on her skills but struggles to find the time, an online course could be the perfect gift. With flexible lessons that fit around her schedule, she can learn at her own pace—whether she’s a total beginner or already has some experience.
My Learn Piano Blues course is designed for those who want to dip in and out whenever they have a spare five minutes. There’s no pressure to stick to a set schedule, making it ideal for busy mums who can’t commit to regular lessons. Best of all, she’ll love how quickly she sees progress, keeping her motivated and inspired to keep playing!
3. Custom vinyl record
Vinyl has made an incredible comeback in recent years, with album sales skyrocketing by nearly 300% since 2016 (Spotlight). If your mum loves the warm, nostalgic sound of records, a custom vinyl could be the perfect heartfelt gift.
Why not create a personalised record featuring her favourite songs, a meaningful playlist, or even a special message recorded just for her? Companies like Vinylify (US) and Etsy creators can transform personal audio into a one-of-a-kind keepsake that she’ll cherish forever.
Whether she’s a serious collector or simply enjoys the magic of vinyl, this gift is sure to earn a special place in her heart—and on her turntable!
4. Concert tickets
There’s something truly magical about live music—the energy, the atmosphere, and the joy of experiencing a favourite artist in person. This Mother’s Day, why not treat your mum to an unforgettable night out with tickets to see her favourite band, singer, or even a classical concert if she loves orchestral performances? If the show is a little further afield, you could turn it into a full-day or weekend experience with dinner or a hotel stay for an extra special touch.
If her favourite artists aren’t on tour, or she’s not as mobile as she used to be, a virtual concert subscription—like Digital Concert Hall for classical music lovers—lets her enjoy world-class performances from the comfort of home. However she experiences it, music has the power to create lasting memories, making this a gift she won’t soon forget!
5. Bluetooth record player
If your mum loves the nostalgic charm of vinyl but also appreciates modern convenience, a Bluetooth record player offers the best of both worlds. These turntables let her enjoy the warm, rich sound of vinyl while also giving her the flexibility to stream music via Bluetooth—perfect for switching between classic records and digital playlists with ease.
Some top-rated options include:
- Victrola Vintage 3-Speed Bluetooth Suitcase Turntable – a stylish, retro choice
- Audio-Technica AT-LP60XBT – great for beginners who want quality sound
- Crosley Cruiser Deluxe – lightweight, portable, and full of character
Pair this with a selection of records featuring her favourite artists, and you’ve got a thoughtful gift that will keep the music playing for years to come!
6. Personalised music box
There’s something truly magical about a custom music box—its delicate, nostalgic melody makes it a timeless and sentimental gift. While many stores offer only a small selection of pre-set tunes, Miium.com stands out by allowing you to turn any song into a music box. They also have a vast catalogue of over 2,000 songs to choose from, making it easy to find something meaningful.
For an extra personal touch, many online stores offer custom engravings or gift packaging, so you can include a heartfelt message alongside the melody.
Whether it’s a classic tune she adores or a song that holds special memories for you both, this is a gift she’ll treasure for years to come.
7. Music-themed home accessories
If your mum loves adding a personal touch to her space, a music-themed home accessory is a great way to bring her passion for music into her everyday surroundings. Whether she prefers subtle décor or bold statement pieces, there are plenty of creative options to suit her style.

These gifts let her surround herself with the music she loves, creating a space that feels both stylish and personal.
8. Musical experience day

10. High-quality headphones
If your mum loves listening to music, podcasts, or audiobooks, a pair of high-quality headphones can take her experience to the next level. Whether she enjoys immersive sound, wireless convenience, or studio-quality audio, there’s a perfect pair for her.
Some great options include:
