If I see one more ‘gifts for mum’ section on a retailer’s website that includes a hand cream in floral packaging, a mug with ‘mumma’ written on it or a lavender-scented mesh bag to put in my sock drawer, I will scream.
As a 37-year-old mother of two, I definitely fall into the ‘mum’ category, but I’m always surprised when I see the range of gifts that are supposedly aimed at me. Is that really how the world sees me?
To be honest, I’d be very happy for my kids to give me one of their sweet little drawings or paintings made from splodgy handprints for Christmas – it’s certainly preferable to an ‘I love mummy’ teddy or similar.
But, if I did have to choose a gift to receive (hint hint, dear husband), these are some of things I believe mums would actually want to be given for Christmas….
One of the best books I’ve read this year.
Summer in Worcestershire, 1577. Eliza Litton, a talented artist, is in love with childhood friend, Francis. But her tyrannical father, who rules the household with insults and fists, has other ideas. As summer comes to an end, Francis vanishes after a drunken night at the inn and Eliza’s father forces her to marry a gentleman, Edmund.
I’ve been lusting after a gold T-bar necklace for a while, and this is the right balance of chunky. elegant and affordable.
National Art Pass is a membership which gives you across London and the UK. Think of it as the gift of me-time!
As a busy mum I never have time to fake tan in advance, so this ultra-convincing faux bronze is an absolute hero in my grooming kit.
The best ‘school drop-off to supermarket to gym’ leggings going – the high waist sucks you in and they’re unbelievably soft.
Gift great hair, glowing skin, stress-melting massages, and every other beauty treatment your mum is dreaming of.
Everyone I know who’s tried this ultra-hydrating moisturiser loves it. You can’t go wrong with a luxe-y bit of skincare.
