What to get your Mum for Christmas:

Four awesome concepts for your mum’s Christmas present

What to get your Mum, or person in your life that holds the important mother role for you, for Christmas depends quite a lot on who she is, what she loves, and who / how old you are.

When my daughter was 4, she made a yogurt pot bell for the Christmas tree and I’d have been delighted to have that as my present from her. Now she’s 19, I prefer what she chooses based on our relationship. And I’m not sure how many uni students make yogurt pot and pipe cleaner Christmas tree decorations these days.

Something to wear

Splash out

For a touch of luxury, Mum will feel completely spoilt by this classic cashmere v neck sweater. You’re splashing out on this one at just over £85, but Mum is worth it, right?

Steal

For the steal, there are a couple of bargain ways to treat Mum with something to wear. First up is a vibrant scarf. We love this bee design from Claudia&Jason for just £7.89. You don’t even have to go for the obvious yellow colour choice, this design comes in 13 different colourways, so Mum’s favourite is likely to be in there.

CLAUDIA&JASON Glitter Bumble Bees Scarf 

Large lightweight scarf excellent quality.

Beautifully designed multi-purpose scarf can be used as sarong, cover up, scarf or wrap.

Another something to wear is a hat. This time we’ve gone for a chic beret, looks far more expensive than it is – at only £4.49. And again there’s an array of colour choices so that you can go with one that suits Mum to a tea.

JOOWEN Women’s Classic French Artist Solid 100% Wool Beret Hat

Something to read

A different way to give Mum a break is to encourage her to read. 

Splash out

For the foodie Mum who likes to get away from time to time in fancy restaurants and posh hotels, you can splash out on this lovely coffee table book from The Pig, a collection of restaurants with rooms in Hampshire, Devon, Dorset and Somerset – and soon in Kent, West Sussex and Cornwall. 

With this £25 treasure, Mum and any house guests can enjoy The Pig from the comfort of the living room. Within its pages, they’ll devour a seasonal approach to the good life with delicious recipes, how-to guides, tips, tricks and stories.

Deal

For the mum who likes the occasional tipple, and the shopper who loves a bargain, we recommend either Wine Uncorked, or The Alchemist Cocktail book, both down from £16.99 to under £13.

Wine Uncorked is Fred Sirieix’ guide to the world of wine. This one is for the Mum who says, ‘I wish I knew more about wine,’. It’ll double the pleasure she gets from a glass, and mean she knows what’s what on the supermarket shelves – no matter what her budget.

The Alchemist Cocktail Book: Master the dark arts of mixology is more for the Mum that likes to entertain. With 100 cocktail recipes, she’ll work some magic at home, elevating her mixology skills and bringing some creativity to the home bar.

Steal

In the bargain reads, we’ve found the perfect book to bring a smile to Mum’s face this Christmas. For just £6.65 Mum can enjoy one of a series of Ladybird books that help grown-ups with the world about them. The combination of large clear script, careful choice of words, frequent repetition, clever illustrations enable grown-ups to think they’ve taught themselves to cope. 

Featuring original Ladybird artwork alongside brilliantly funny, brand new text. 

How It Works: The Mum: (Ladybird For Grown-Ups)

The PERFECT GIFT for Mum would be to let her take the day off while you do everything for her. Why not get her this book instead?

Something she wants

The most subjective of all. But I’ll hazard a guess here that most mother figures want to enjoy time with their families as much as they need time off. So let’s shop for ways to give your mum time together, neatly wrapped, in eco-christmas wrapping paper, as a present.

Spree

Splashing out at £49.99 is the Family Fun Gift experience. Let mum choose from nearly 500 ways to spend time together as a family. Will she want to spend a couple of hours in the cinema, eat out together, or go on a family adventure?
