Leave the details in the comments and we’ll add the best ones to our running list to help more families treat their mums without overspending.
🥂 Free drinks & treats when dining out
One of the easiest ways to treat Mum for less is booking somewhere offering a freebie just for her.
🍾 Free champagne for mums dining out
Many UK restaurants are offering a complimentary drink for mums on Sunday 15 March 2026 when dining with family.
Confirmed examples include:
- Browns — free glass of champagne for mums with Mother’s Day bookings
- Selected UK pubs and hotel restaurants offering free prosecco or fizz for mums dining
- Some venues including a small gift or dessert as well
MoneyMagpie tip:
Book in advance in your mum’s name and forward the confirmation as a surprise gift. You can often pre-pay so she doesn’t spend a penny.
🌷 Free flower delivery & postal perks
Fully free bouquets are usually competition-based, but there are still genuine savings available.
🚚 Free flower delivery deals
- Marks & Spencer is running free delivery on selected Mother’s Day flowers and plants for 2026
- Many flower retailers offer first-order free delivery if you sign up to emails
Send it to Mum:
Order online using her address and include a gift message.
You’ll often pay only the bouquet cost — or nothing if you win a giveaway.
☕ Free coffee & loyalty freebies
If your mum loves a coffee outing, this is an easy win.
🎁 Loyalty app treats
Chains including:
- Costa Coffee
- Starbucks
…offer free drinks through loyalty rewards and app promos that can be gifted.

It feels thoughtful but costs very little (or nothing if you use rewards).
