Gifts for mum: jewellery, natural skincare & personalised mugs

Choosing gifts for mum

Mums are often the hardest people to buy for, because they rarely ask for anything. Think about what she would enjoy but not buy for herself, such as a piece of jewellery, a skincare set or an evening with good chocolate. A personal detail, such as her birthstone or a drawing from a grandchild, makes any present feel chosen. Harfi makes most of the jewellery here, alongside Rize, Habulous, Flawless, MadeKind and Wild Rising Skincare. We reviewed every brand for its ingredients and how it makes its products.

Jewellery for mum

Harfi makes pendants, studs and huggie hoops set with each month's birthstone, plus star sign constellation earrings, zodiac pendants and initial necklaces in gold vermeil, gold plate and sterling silver. An initial necklace, or a charm bracelet with her children's birthstones, makes a lasting Christmas present. Rize makes silver jewellery, including a minimal pearl necklace and layering necklaces, and Give Yourself Kindness makes You Are Loved and You Are Enough charms.

Skincare and hand care for mum

Wild Rising Skincare makes skincare sets such as The Glow Getter and a face oil set, and Flawless makes a botanical pamper gift box, a rosehip and argan facial oil and a body wash gift set in glass bottles. MadeKind makes a natural hand care gift box and hand lotions in lavender and geranium, and orange blossom and grapefruit. Hand care boxes make nice gifts for mum in winter, when hands get dry.

Personalised gifts and gifts for a new mum

Habulous makes mugs by hand that can be personalised with a child's drawing or handwriting, which suit a mum or a grandmother. Bouclé makes a personalised mother of the bride or groom candle. Among gifts for mum after a new baby, Silvan Skincare makes Mama's Balm, Give Yourself Kindness makes new mum affirmation cards, and The Mood Club makes a Sweet Memories notebook. Firetree makes dark chocolate library sets for a quiet moment to herself. Jewellery Gifts has more jewellery, Birthstone Jewellery has gifts by birth month, Skincare Sets & Gift Sets has more skincare sets, and Self-care guide: The maintenance that keeps everything else running has ideas for a slower day.
