16 best gifts for Mum to say thank you for all she does

An anti-ageing serum, a resurfacing moisturiser and an eye cream for tackling dark circles are just a few of the beauty favourites inside this set. Worth £443, this skincare treasure trove contains six full-size Avant Skincare products and, better still, the brand is offering our readers a further £10 off right now (just use the exclusive code BEYOND10 at checkout).

These retro mini Roberts radios make the best gifts and are built to last. They look adorable on any countertop, and she can either use them as Mr Roberts surely intended (as a DAB/FM radio) or as a portable Bluetooth speaker to stream her latest singer-songwriter obsession.

This adorable duo of blushers from Refy, complete with dual-ended soft-bristle brush, is a gorgeous gift for someone new to the brand. The coral-coloured Malaya shade is ideal for adding a little light colour to tanned cheeks, and the cherry shade is the ideal companion for party season – with this duo, Mum will be set for blush for every season. The creamy formula is also fab for more mature skin.

These cute clogs are the perfect slipper for a mum who likes to keep things cosy when she’s pootling in the garden or walking around at home, without forgetting to look stylish and put together. These wool felt mules are more lightweight and much more affordable than the heavier Birkenstock styles that are more than twice the price.

Chilling on the sofa with calming natural oils floating through the room is the only right way to get through the long, dark winter months in one piece. Neom’s Wellbeing Pod was a big hit with the GH team in testing, even the diffuser-deniers. So, treat her to The Wind Down Starter Pack and a little bit of quiet time. All her stresses will, momentarily at least, melt away.

Once you’ve introduced Mum to Rise and Fall, she might hold it against you – the products are so gorgeous that shopping there can become an expensive habit. From ultra-soft bedding to this cashmere scarf, the brand puts a real emphasis on quality fabrics that feel genuinely luxurious.

An umbrella may seem like a fairly boring gift, but practical doesn’t have to mean dull in this instance. Enter: Original Duckhead, the playful brolly brand that will make leaving the house in a nasty rainstorm a walk in the park for Mum – we think they call it ‘water off a duck’s back’?

These creamy, perfectly pigmented eyeshadow sticks are the most convenient way to transition your makeup from day to night, particularly during party season. The formula is delightfully smooth so it doesn’t cling to creases around the eyes, making them ideal for more mature skin, and there’s a set for everyone: one for making blue eyes pop (rose gold and bronze), one for enhancing brown eyes (taupe and grey) and one for green eyes (pink and copper). We’ll be wearing ours on Christmas Day.

This delicate, silver-plated bracelet comes in the cutest packaging for Mum to open on Christmas Day – it’s like a card and a present in one. You can order it in silver or gold, and you can also personalise it by adding extra letter charms on to the chain. It’s stretchy, too, so should be one-size-fits-all.

This surprising collaboration may raise eyebrows at first, but M&M has sweetened the deal here – 12 iconic OPI shades for £3.75 each means Mum will be set for at-home manicures for the whole of 2027. Our favourites for a full-glam festive mani are the ‘I Caramel For You’ and the ‘Bite Sized Behaviour’ shades.

There’s no better way to blow off the cobwebs from a string of Christmas parties than to go for a bracing, chilly dip with friends or family, and Boxing Day is one of the most popular days to take a dip. As is New Year’s Day. Make sure your mum’s prepared for the occasion with this fluffy Regatta robe, which comes in almost every colour!

Clarins is always a great place to start when looking for a gift for Christmas Day. This divine Double Serum set – including the UK’s bestselling serum – boasts the brand’s nourishing lip oil and the radiance-boosting Beauty Flash Balm to help restore her glow – all housed in a beautiful festive box. Expect an ear-to-ear smile from Mum when you hand it over.

Give the gift of relaxation with this delicious, bestselling bath oil from skincare legend Susanne Kaufmann. Poured into her bath, it will help Mum relieve muscle tension, counteracting even the most overwhelming of schedules, while the immunity-boosting pine and spruce needle oils invigorate the senses.

When you buy one of these UK-wide vouchers, you can redeem it whenever you’re both free (she’s obviously taking you) at lots of gorgeous independent spas across the UK – from Manchester to St Albans, Aberdeen to Brighton.
