Top gift ideas for mums
Space Mask eye masks
I was given a set of these self-heating eye masks for Christmas and I LOVE LOVE LOVE them.
They are the most amazing way to switch off from the world and relax at the end of a long day.
You just open up a pouch, pop the mask over your eyes and relax as it begins to heat up.
It’s all natural stuff… oxygen molecules in the atmosphere cause the mask’s iron particles to warm.
They are literally bliss-inducing.
Just the gift that every mum needs!

Personalised wooden bath caddy
There’s nothing better than having everything to hand as you relax in the bath – door shut, no kids allowed!!
In fact, sometimes a little time without the kids around is the perfect gift for mums!!
The thing is to make sure that the alone time is as relaxing as possible.
Which is where this personalised bath caddy comes in.

Leather bound photo albums
Go analogue and create a personalised leather bound photo album of happy memories as a gift for your mum or as a gift from the kids to their mum.
This is a particularly lovely present for a new mum. Fill the album with baby’s first year.
Alternatively, just give the album as a gift to a mum to create her own book of magical photo memories.

Hand-in-Hand gloves
These gloves literally make my heart melt. One of the most joyful things that I experience as a mum is the feel of my daughter’s hand in mine.
There is literally nothing better than walking along happily holding hands and chatting with your child.
So these gloves are so spot on its untrue!

Rose & Oud soy wax candle
I adore the scent of rose and when oud is added, it only becomes more sensual and aromatic. So this soy wax candle is the perfect gift for mothers who need a bit of pampering.

Personalised notebooks
I’ve really reconnected with using paper over the last few months, I’ve started reading actual books and I’ve started writing notes and lists in real notebooks, after years of relying on digital diaries and calendars.
Digital still has its place, but there’s something lovely and tactile with handling a beautiful notebook.
This set over five notebooks in different colours, can be personalised. You simply choose which words you’d like on the spine of each.

Maman bracelet
Maman – French for ‘mother’ . So chic, so perfect. This is one of those gifts that will be treasured for years and years to come.

Letterbox Flowers
Subscriptions are a big thing at the moment. What better subscription to make a mum feel special than one that delivers fresh flowers every month.
I just love the idea of this as a gift, Letterbox Flowers make the idea super user friendly by ensuring the flowers are packaged so they can fit through a letterbox, so no delivery hassles.
This service is currently UK only, but there are are other flower services if you do a quick google for your local area.

Personalised gold interlocking heart necklace
You can choose to have the hearts on this necklace handmade in either solid 9ct gold or solid 9ct rose gold.
One of the hearts can be personalised… up to 12 characters, so I think initials are a great idea.
