Portable Candle Diffuser
I’m a little bit obsessed with this portable candle diffuser from Lights4Fun. It is SO clever – simply select one of the Lights4Fun fragrances, insert the oil jar into the base of the candle and it’ll release gorgeous scent into the air as it flickers and glows. It’s incredible, and the oils last ages. Cannot recommend this enough. I’m buying in bulk for friends and family this year!
Travel Mug
We can’t get enough of a Stanley these days, can we?! This travel mug keeps drinks hot or cold for hours, is dishwasher safe and leakproof. Plus it comes in a range of colours. I mean, what more could we want?! The ideal gift as well as it’s just pricey enough that it’s hard to justify for ourselves, right?!
One Line A Day 5-Year Journal
One line a day feels just about doable! Love the idea of chronicling five years together in this gorgeous canvas-covered journal. A great gift for Mum friends wanting to capture the moment.
Naughty Corner Cushion
Bet I’m not the only Mum who’d quite happily take a time out in this naughty corner! Love this humourous play on the parenting classic from Rockett St George.
Family Birthstones Sliding Bracelet
What a gorgeous idea. Enable your friend to carry the whole family with her wherever she goes with this beautiful personalised family birthstone sliding bracelet. Custom design in silver or gold with up to five Swarovski crystal birthstone representations.
2025 Year Wall Planner
Every Mum needs a bit of help with their year planning. And I just love Good Tuesday’s beautifully styled planners to give that helping hand. Available in Portrait and Landscape, and with accompanying stickers to help add the detail, this is just the ticket for a great start to 2025!
You Can't Say 'Umm...' Game
This game literally has our whole family rolling around on the floor laughing. With increasingly more ridiculous rules, two teams compete to see who can get to the end of the board first. Would be a great game to play with a group of friends too. Just remember to think before you speak…!
Sofa Mouse Pad
For those Mums working on the go, this Sofa Mouse Pad is the perfect gift. Ergonomically designed, it was Highly Commended in the 2024 Gift of the Year awards and is sure to be a winner with any regular laptop users.
Bridgerton Biscuit Tin
Know any Bridgerton fans? They are bound to love this charming Biscuiteers Bridgerton biscuit tin. Enjoy the delightful contents and then repurpose the sensational tin for one’s trinkets. How utterly divine. I’ll send for Queen Charlotte at once…
Christmas Tea Towel
Adore the sentiment on this teatowel! And it’s sure to strike a chord with many a mum friend. I think this would make a fabulous little gift on its own, add it to a gift hamper, or use it to wrap a wine bottle for something extra special.
Shea Butter Rich Body Cream
Picking beauty products for someone else can be daunting. But, let’s face it, there are not many people that will turn their noses up at a bit of L’Occitane. And this gorgeous shea butter body cream is so silky on the skin and not that heavily perfumed so shouldn’t offend anyone!
Personalised Snack Pot
Love this cute little personalised snack pot from Sophia Victoria Joy. Help your mum friend settle down to enjoy a bit of me time with a movie or book and snack of choice on hand!
Prosecco Socks
Let the socks do the talking! Brilliant personalisable pair of cosy socks from Solesmith, that have a very important purpose. A fun gift for a Mum friend in need…!
Everything Oversized Tote Bag
It was on the list last year but it’s back with good reason. This oversized tote from Alphabet bags is one of my all-time favourites. Soooo useful and beautifully made. To be honest, anything from the fabulous Alphabet Bags store is a winner in my eyes!
Love Rope Necklace
What a statement! This gorgeous rope necklace from Handmade by Tinni will brighten anyone’s day. Lovingly handmade by Paulomi, it’s bold, colourful and fabulously cheerful.
Personalised Family Christmas Wreath Light
I adore Melanie Porter’s gorgeous Christmas Wreath lights – I have one for my Gingerbread House Christmas Studio! Love these personalised family designs but everything is customisable so have fun creating the perfect one for your Mum friend!
Melanie Porter Design Personalised Family Christmas Wreath Light
Personalised Embossed Notebook
Can you really go wrong with Martha Brook?! Adore her entire collection but I was lucky enough to be gifted one of these last Christmas and it’s been making me happy all year long so I can confirm that it is a wonderful gift to receive!
Monthly Flower Subscription
One of my favourite gifts to send – letterbox flowers each month with a subscription to online florist Bloom & Wild. Choose from 3, 6 or 12 months. Plus, get £10 off your first order with our link below.
