And because we know new mums really deserve a break, there’s also lush-smelling soaps (for the rare occasion when mum gets to chill), relaxation candles and spill-proof wine glasses (essential for new mums).
For cool mums, you’ll also find equally cool mothers day gifts in our collection – think sexy pyjamas, slogan tees, personalised aprons-with-attitude and anything leather. For quirky mums, we have slightly more unusual mothers day gifts, like a personalised hanging mug vase or a mini cup of tea in a matchbox.
The best mothers day gifts are those that can be personalised. Our picks include glass jewellery boxes that can be engraved with a special message to mum, and jewellery that can be customised with a charm for each family member.
