Despite her insistence that she “really doesn’t need anything!”, the mum in your life deserves a thoughtful gift this Mother’s Day. Not that pyjamas and bed socks aren’t thoughtful, but there are only so many pairs of both that one needs. This Mother’s Day, look for a gift she wouldn’t necessarily buy herself — a skincare set she might deem too indulgent to gift herself or a luxurious piece of knitwear you know she’ll wear on repeat all autumn and winter long.

This Mother’s Day, we’re thinking (and shopping) outside the box. Think practical yet fun gifts that are special without breaking the bank. Here, we round up six sweet and sophisticated gifts guaranteed to delight her, even if the thing at the top of her wishlist is just spending time with her favourite people.

For the self-care queen

There’s nothing more indulgent than Chanel. For the self care-loving mother figure in your life, treat her to Chanel’s Home Spa Essentials gift set. Comprised of the iconic house’s La Crème Main Texture Riche, La Mousse Anti-Pollution Cleansing Cream-to-Foam and Le Lift Flash Eye Revitalizer, there’s no gift more luxurious than giving her a moment to herself.
