SodaStream

We love this idea for a Mother’s Day gift from SodaStream . It’s practical, fun and helps the environment. It’s the perfect present to make their day sparkle!

Whether you want to spoil your mum, step-mum, grandma or aunt, no matter who the motherly figure in your life is, they are sure to enjoy making their own sparkling drinks in the comfort of their home with SodaStream. For fitness-focused mothers looking to stay hydrated, a SodaStream will help them reach their water goals with ease. At the touch of a button, they can bubble away to their heart’s content and transform plain old tap water into a sparkling glass of delicious refreshment.

Or perhaps your mum prefers something a little tastier? From sweet and tart Soda Press Co Passionfruit and Mandarin Kombucha to fresh Ginger Ale, whatever flavour tickles her taste buds, with SodaStream there is something for everyone. Or for the mums who take pride in their dinner hosting skills, why not help them take their night to the next level by allowing them to make crisp sparkling water, delicious soft drinks, and tasty cocktails to serve the individual tastes of each guest?

And if your mum is trying to be more eco-friendly this year, a SodaStream is still the perfect choice. Each machine saves thousands of single-use plastic bottles from being used, and just one gas cylinder makes up to 60 litres of bubbles.

With the selection of colours available, whether you’re gifting it to your mum, grandmother, or another mother figure, there’s a sleek, stylish design suitable for all. Plus, if you simply want to spend some quality time with your mum over an evening drink, a SodaStream is there to make those moments extra special.

Once your mum has bubbled away to her heart’s content, she can exchange her empty cylinder and save £10 on the cost of a new one from retailers including Sainsbury’s, Currys, Robert Dyas, Ryman, Lakeland and Argos. Alternatively, she can exchange with the SodaStream Sparkle Saver’s Plan and have gas delivered to her door.
