8. John Lewis & Partners Cross Strap Faux Fur Mule Slippers

Since slippers have become the fashionable footwear de jour, a pair of fluffy slides is now a totally acceptable Mother's Day gift. Urge her to put her feet up, have a cuppa and enjoy a Zoom catch up with you in style. 

2.

‘You Mean The World to Me’ Mug, £11.95

You can’t go wrong with the humble mug. Bright, colourful and meaningful, all other crockery will promptly be pushed to the back of the cupboard. Great for new mums (make them the tea to go in it for extra brownie points).

3.

John Lewis Pyjama Set, £44

Mums have a special ability to get by on very little sleep, but you can still make the time they do get to spend in bed more chic and super comfortable. This 100% cotton, white and light blue striped set are perfect for year-round snoozes and weekends at home.

4.

Aesop Hand Cream, £25

The easiest way to win someone over? Give them Aesop. This hand cream is small but it shows you care – it’s super chic, super moisturising and super smelling. The natural botanicals hydrate hands without leaving them greasy.

6.

John Lewis Scented Pillar Candle, £6

The gift of a candle never fails to excite (trust us, we are candle connoisseurs). This has notes of bergamot, jasmine, sandalwood and tonka, a burn time of 60 hours and comes in at £6, so it’s sure to become a repeat purchase.  

7.

Amazon Echo Show 8, £149.99

If your mother figure doesn’t have an Amazon Echo Show in her life, she needs one. It does everything your regular Alexa can plus so much more – phone calls, appointment reminders, music, podcasts and shows with spatial audio – and you can even display photos on its 8in HD screen. A true multitasking wonder, just like its recipient.

8.

Dyson Airwrap, £399.99

The Dyson Airwrap has received cult status by beauty experts all over the world for doing all the styling work without heat damage, so your lucky recipient is guaranteed to love it. Buy it for anyone juggling lots of kids or who’s simply short on time, it’s going to transform their morning routine.
