Yvonne Ellen - Mum's Cuppa Bundle
Looking for a gift that shows you appreciate the hours of excruciating labour she endured for you?
Well it's here, in the gorgeous shape of Yvonne Ellen's Mum's Cuppa Bundle.
The luxurious, bone china set comes in equally gorgeous gift boxes - no wrapping, BOOM - and feature the award-wining designer's trademark, quirky illustrations, in pretty pastels with gold detail.
The teacup is emblazoned with "Mum" so nobody can steal her brew, alongside a saucer decorated with a sleepy dormouse.
And the deliciously eccentric teapot features a regal white mouse, bearing a crown.
So get the kettle on and toast her you-making skills with an opulent brew in these bad-boys.
Lola's Mother's Day Cupcakes
These cakes lasted as long as it takes to say "mum" - and we can testify that they will make you the favourite child.
The box is bulging with six beautifully presented, handcrafted cupcakes in three delicious flavours.
Our favourite was the Blueberry & Earl Grey, a delicate tea sponge filled with blueberry compote, finished with purple cream cheese icing and delicate, edible flower decoration.
She can have her cakes and eat them. The Vanilla Blossom is crowned with silky buttercream, dried lavender, and viola flowers, along with a heart etched with "mum."
The Lemon & Poppyseed cakes also disappeared with alarming speed – zesty sponge cakes with a heart of lemon curd, topped with white chocolate cream cheese icing and a delicate lemon macaron.
BUY FROM LOLA'S CUPCAKES. £23.70 for 6. Delivery available from 25 to 30 March
HEY DUDE - Austin Lift Classic
Impossibly lightweight, super stylish and so comfortable it feels like you're walking on a cloud made from marshmallows and kitten fur - Check, check and check.
This is what makes HEY DUDE'S Austin Lift Classics the ultimate gift for any mums who value comfort which doesn't scrimp on style.
We have lived in our suede Austin Lift Classics, which have light-as-air platform outsoles, and a raised heel edge to keep trotters exactly where they should be.
They come in a range of super cool styles, from leopard print to metallic silver, tan, blush and rosette.
Those feet carried you for nine months and trod on your LEGO, so this is the LEAST you can do.
BUY FROM HEY DUDE, £74.99
Formation Co. - Emerald Curb Bracelet
Emeralds are the perfect stone for Mother's Day, representing rebirth, renewal, fertility and love.
And words have not been invented to describe how beautiful this Emerald Curb Bracelet is.
Formation Co's delicate jewellery is made to order and never mass produced, using ethically sourced materials in every aspect of production, from metal to packaging and using recycled metals where possible, so that each item is entirely unique.
This beautiful bracelet is light, dainty with gorgeous golds and greens which come to life in the light.
Ramsbury Raspberry & Wildflower Honey Gin
This is the perfect alternative to flavoured gins, for a more discerning mum's palate.
We loved the sweetness of the luxurious wildflower honey, which cut through the tart juiciness of the natural raspberry juice - all sourced from the Ramsbury Estate, along with the wheat used to distil the gin.
It's a vibrant taste of the summer countryside in a glass and makes the perfect G&T to toast your your mum, endlessly.
Passport Piccanté - World Flavours Hot Sauce Gift Set
Take your mum on a delicious trip around the world, with this ultimate world flavours hot sauce gift set.
We were blown away by this beautifully presented box of extraordinary spices from around the globe - 10 of the 12 sauces are Great Taste Award winners, so the quality and flavours are on spicy point.
Ranging from mild to hot, the brilliantly versatile selection is perfect for adding excitement to dishes from breakfast to dinner, with flavours including India's spicy Forever Phall sauce, Mexican Fury, and traditional Louisiana-style BBQ sauce.
We used ours in everything from the ultimate secret sarnie ingredient, to zingy salad dressing, marinades, stews, dipping sauces and soups.
A special shout-out to their insanely moreish Sriracha - one of our favourite sauces and we couldn't get enough of their version on our eggs and avo inthe morning and salmon in the evening.
St-Germain X Issy Granger Cocktail Carafe Set
This stunning, limited edition cocktail set is a mic-drop of a Mother's Day present.
The beautiful box has a swish drawer, which pulls out to reveal a wonderfully unique, handblown Issy Granger cocktail carafe, embazoned with dainty glass elderflowers, and inspired by the iconic St-Germain bottle.
There is also a generous, 50cl bottle of dreamy St-Germain elderflower liquer, a bottle of Harvey Nichols Premier Cru Brut Champagne, a matt gold cocktail spoon and St-Germain recipe cards - we heartily recommend their famous Spritz, a refreshing combo of St-Germain, fizz, lemon and soda water.
The only downside is that it's almost too beautiful to use... although we're very glad we did.
The Copenhagen Company - Cedarwood & Sea Salt Candle
These luxurious candles are sophisticated, ethical and sustainable with an impressive 45-hour burn time - and this is the fragrance your mum deserves.
The fresh and salty sea breeze blends beautifully with the delicate blue freesia scents, with middle floral nots of Jasmine and Gardenia, carried to every corner of your room by a warm and spicy cedarwood and musk base.
They are affordable, but smell divine and will look the part on your mum's table this Mother's Day, giving all of the Hygge and fresh, Spring scents.
BUY FROM COPENHAGEN CANDLES. £13 for small to £17 for large candle
The Book of Love - Melt Chocolates
A stunning, luxury book of love that you can eat, made by Melt Chocolate artisans and featuring the greatest paintings on love? Now that's a Mother's Day present.
The Ancient Greeks had eight words for the different flavours of love, Eros, Philia, Ludos, Agape, Philautia, Pragma, Storge and Xenia - and these are all represented in 12 beautiful artworks, containing luxury chocolate bars.
It is too beautiful to eat, but when you do, you will be rewarded with treats like their gourmet Amazonia dark chocolate, Madagascan red berry, an orgasmic blonde pistachio plus a range of smooth milk chocolates like their sea salt or Love crunchy bar.
BUY FROM MELT CHOCOLATES. £69.99
Kairos Contactless Wine Aerator
This extraordinary gadget is the world's first contactless wine aerator, and will transform mum's vino time.
In three, elegant colours - Mallard green, Charcoal and Burgundy - and small enough to fit in your pocket for restaurant trips, this gift is a game-changer for wine lovers, shortening the aerating time from minutes to seconds.
We simply placed the aerator near our wine glasses - it works on up to four glasses - selected the desired aeration time, and in under a minute, it had transformed our glass from a basic Malbec, to a soft, fruity and fragrant treat.
We specifically chose a high tannin Malbec to test it with, and were blown away by its advanced electromagnetic wave technology, which mimics a traditional decanter by accelerating oxygen molecules on the surface of red wine.
It's the must-have gift for the wine lover in your life, and means you don't have to wait to toast her over Mother's Day lunch.
BUY FROM KAIROS. £199
Greenpan Padova Reserve Pink Frying Pan Set
These blush pink frying pans are a sizzling showstopper of a gift for mum.
They come as a child duo in two sizes (20cm and 19cm) and feature the latest PFAS-free Thermolon™ ceramic non-stick coating on high quality reinforced aluminium in a range of delicate pastels including Blush Pink, Mint Green, Light or Sky Blue and Sunshine Yellow.
Complemented by elegant stainless steel riveted handles with a hard-wearing, matt gold protective coating, the range has a gaggle of different pans and pots with tight fitting lids, in various sizes and prices.
And they're even dishwasher proof, although ours are so pretty, it took a while for us to brave soiling them with food.
BUY FROM GREENPAN. £95 for two piece frying pan set
Bellamie Apéritif
Toast mum with this elegant new French apéritif, crafted exclusively from cherry tree blossom, fruit and stones and natural ingredients.
It’s a wonderfully original alternative to the traditional citrus or bitter aperitifs, with a bold combination of sour, jammy cherries and sweet spice.
We loved it simply sipped over ice, but it also elevates a glass of bubbly, or a summer Spritz and makes a perfect, sour cherry Negroni - its ruby red colour looks great in a glass, too.
It’s a modern take on the French Guignolet liqueur, which originated in the 17th century and might just be our new favourite tipple this summer.
OHS Ribbed Fleece Dressing Gown
This super soft, affordable and cosy dressing gown is a great Mother's Day gift option.
We opted for the regal, deep blue, which feels like a hug from a Hygge Monster.
It has hoods, pockets, an adjustable belt and pretty ribbed texture, which feels pleasing to stroke, while watching the latest Netflix serial killer doc on the sofa, with a cuppa.
BUY FROM OHS. £19
OHS Velvet Scallop Edge Cushion Cover
Mums can never have enough cushions, and we love the pleasingly cartoonish design of these playful, scallop edge cushion covers in matte velvet.
Available in pink with red trim or lilac with pink trim, and coming in packs of two, they are great (and super affordable) statement pieces, which wash well and are super soft to cosy up with on the sofa.
BUY FROM OHS. From £13
We have been gifted samples in order to provide honest and accurate tried and tested reviews. But we never feature anything we don't recommend
