Best gifts for mum 2024: Thoughtful and personalised present ideas she will love (nearly) as much as you

Spell out how much you care with a Missoma pendant. Featuring a cursive initial placed on a fine trace chain, the piece is perfect for layering. The jewel is crafted from recycled materials and has a carbon-negative footprint, meaning you can shop stylishly and sustainably in one fell swoop.

A two-in-one delight, John Lewis’ classic camel-toned scarf coat has an instantly luxurious silhouette. We love the fact that it prevents the need to carry extra components for winter protection with its built-in blanket scarf.

If they appreciate luxury design with a playful edge, Anya Hindmarch's Eyes series hits all the right notes. This card case finished with the motif is perfect for keeping their plastic safe while the central slot can hold a few folded banknotes too. Made from capra leather, it comes in matte black and metallic silver.

Haven't you got enough black jumpers? Breathe zingy freshness into your winter looks with Lisa Yang's beautiful brushed cashmere jumper offered in a sharp apple green. It's a relaxed fit with dropped shoulders that can be worn over a collared shirt or a vest - or casually draped around the shoulders. 

And my goodness, the softness! Let's just say it's reflected in the price tag.

There's nothing like a good set of drinking glasses to cheer a table up. Maison Balzac's pom pom hand-blown coupes, sold as a pair, bring a playful tilt to the mix, somehow making Champagne taste all the sweeter.

Think pink when it comes to festive drinking; Champagne Laurent-Perrier is always a welcome addition to our table - especially when its Cuvée Rosé is dressed so beautifully for the occasion.

This year, the brand presents one of its bestsellers with ribbons wound around the delicate cage. It looks as good as it tastes with a fine stream of bubbles and red berry flavours that pair well with seafood or dessert plates.

A stunning gift for your party host.

For the mum who's always on the move, a set of retractable makeup brushes will ensure she looks her best on arrival. Otis Batterbee's set of four (including two double-ended), has e head for every eventuality, from topping up concealer, finessing eyeliner, and adding mattifying powder.

Creed may be best known for its Aventus aroma but don’t sleep on the luxury fragrance house’s opulent candle collection housed in quietly luxurious porcelain vessels. There are five scents that comprise the range but the most suitably seasonal is the Vanisia, a contemporary vanilla aroma that turns the signature sugary ingredient on its head by combining it with musky amber.

A retro design with contemporary functions, this Roberts radio is the perfect gadget to keep around the house or office.

The vintage 50s-look body is armed to the teeth with the latest tech, including a smart radio that can broadcast web radio as well as DAB+ and FM stations. It can transform into a Bluetooth speaker and play your favourite tracks from Spotify and Deezer, all with crystal-clear audio.

Available in a range of bright and muted shades.

An exceptional vintage of Champagne? Well, only the best for mum.

Laurent Perrier has bottled the best of 2015, a year that offered excellent grape-ripening conditions, and allowed it to age and develop complex notes. Light gold with a stream of fine bubbles, it's full of warm, floral flavours ending with sweet marmalade and buttered toast.

Combining medical skin science with spa-like products, we are continually impressed with Kate Somerville's line of products. This bundle showcases three of her best: the Kateceuticals Resurfacing Overnight Peel, ExfoliKate treatment and HydraKate Recharging Serum. Each one delivers fast results; glowing, refined skin will be yours before you know it. Use together, love forever.

How many times have you wanted just one glass of wine but wound up drinking the whole bottle for fear it will ‘go off’ from oxidation? We’ve all been there.

Thanks to the innovative wine tool Coravin Pivot though, your mum can enjoy as much or as little as she likes without removing the cork. The rest will keep for years with a new glass tasting fresh every time. Not only does it preserve wine, but it aerates as it pours too, so her vino will taste just as the producers intended.

There’s also the Coravin Sparkling, which can preserve Champagne and other sparkling wines for up to four weeks. No longer will she have the excuse of waiting for a special occasion to sip something extraordinary. This little gadget will allow her to enjoy a little luxury, every day.

It's one of the most talked-about productions in town, with streams of sequinned-speckled party-goers flooding the DLR’s Pudding Mill station for every performance.

Set in a purpose-built cathedral to one of Sweden's greatest musical exports, ABBA Voyage is the party every disco-lover must experience. With incredible lightwork and avatars that will leave you rubbing your eyes to believe aren't real, this is a peek at what the future of gigs could look like. 

If your mum is up for dancing, standing tickets are most budget-friendly (nudge your way back to take it all in) while seated options mean you can see the 40-years-in-the-making production in all its glory. 

Want to make it extra special? Add lounge access for bubbly and nibbles before the show takes off. 

Bookings are available from £104.50.

Slippers are a failsafe gift for mums, but give them a disco makeover with this metallic silver pair from Moshulu. They're as comfortable as they are glitzy and come with a cushioned heel and faux fur collar, ensuring comfort with each step. Lightweight Moshulu patterned EVA soles mean you can run outside for the post or bins without fear of getting them soggy.

Once you get past the curiously sexist name (MUM5), the Bosch kitchen machine is excellent. Not only is it a stand mixer, but also a blender, citrus juicer, food processor and meat grinder. You can even buy more attachments if you have alternate kitchen desires. While all these attachments take up a lot of space (packed with the mixer in a ginormous box), the basic tools and food processor blades come in a handy little bag — something that other stand mixers could definitely do with.

The shape of the mixer is pleasantly square, so tucks nicely into the corner of your kitchen. There’s a red light to tell you when the machine is switched on, which flashes at you if there’s something going wrong, such as the head not being locked in place. The only minor complaint we have is that the bowl is hard to click into place, but after a few goes you should get the hang of it.

Looking for understated elegance? These darling celestial-themed earrings with a pearl droplet are perfect for bringing sartorial sparkle to everyday wear. They're made from recycled silver and covered with 14k gold vermeil but if you're more of a silver jewellery kind of person, you can find them in sterling silver too.
