Ideas for Mother's Day

What actually works

What lands is evidence that you know her as a person rather than as your mother — the thing she mentioned once, the hobby she picked up, the brand she keeps rebuying. Some people arrive here shopping for a first-year mum, and some arrive missing theirs.

The usual mistake

Flowers on their own, and anything with "World's Best Mum" printed on it. Both are affectionate and neither is specific.

Still not sure?

Tell us about them in your own words, what they are into and what you have already given, and we will narrow it down properly.
