Gifts To Claim You Thought Of: Screen Mums Edition

With Mother’s Day around the corner, let us make light work of delighting the maternal figure in your life. Taking our lead from the most iconic mums ever seen on screen, we’ve rounded up a host of thoughtful, unexpected gifts for that special someone in your life. Whether yours is the last one standing at any party or tied to her desk, leans towards impossible-to-please or seems to already have it all, here you’ll find a little something to make her smile.

IMPOSSIBLE-TO-PLEASE MUM

The mum everyone wants to be, give The Impossible-To-Please Mum’s devotees something to lust after with ToutiBo’s Ella bracelet. Named for the little girl who inspired it, this delicate contemporary chain is crafted from 14ct gold and detailed with a diamond-set initial of your choice. Know an impossible-to-please mum with an impossibly-spoilt baby? Forge an early bond with this ultimate insider and present her newborn with the brand’s baby bracelet - a matching set for mummy and her mini-me that will warm the hardest-to-please heart.

Completely unique, just like her, gift mum a one-off Monopoly board game with custom cards, title deeds, board and box. Appeal to her most narcissistic tendencies with a game board personalised with her image - choose a favourite photo and let The Dice Guys’ designers create a player based on it. With unrivalled tenacity at work and at play, see if mum can also corner the market at home.

Gift mum something that money can’t buy and remind her just how much you love her with a personalised phone case - an at-all-times in-hand reminder. Every case is personalised in Spain and as unique as the love between you and your mum - feel free to steal that for the card.

THE MOMAGER

This busy, always-hustling mum makes sure to cut to the chase. Speak her language with a Candlols vegan, scented candle. Emblazoned with lighthearted messages in unmissable bold fonts, we love this You've Done A Great Job Raising Your Children and Husband candle gifted to an underappreciated and overworked mum.

If your mum spends all day scribbling notes, she should do it on something pretty. Memo Press’s exceptionally beautiful writing paper comes in a choice of ten whimsical house colours, keeping her image flawless from-outfit-to-accessory at every meeting. Personalise it to your mum’s discerning taste with a hand-calligraphed monogram in a pretty, contrasting hue for a thoughtful touch.

You can’t go wrong with Candle Flair's Ribbon Candle Set in a chic cream; a classic and timeless shade, just like her. Whether she's an avid hostess or a homebody who loves an atmosphere, this set of candles are the ultimate gift for a mum. A chic homeware addition she's bound to love.

'DON'T CALL ME MUM' MUM

This hot mum can always keep up with you and your friends - the only problem is getting her to leave. Tell her what she already knows with this hot water bottle by Pickles Knitwear. Knitted in London from buttery soft Scottish wool, it reads I Think You're Hot. Detailed with red intarsia script across baby pink knit, this is a cool colour combo that never fails to please.

Expel any lingering evidence of last night’s excess with Cardsome’s Happy Hangover matches and a luxurious scented candle. Embossed with a Bloody Mary recipe in glittering gold script, these extra-large matches will glam up any nightstand. This vegan, scented candle from Candlols reads Thank You For Funding My Lifestyle - the perfect way to thank her for always knowing the importance of the little things.

All of mum’s friends know she’s the life of the party so why not warn strangers too? The Refined Spirit’s Just A Girl Who Loves Margaritas cap is crafted from luxe cotton twill embroidered with a playful graphic of her favourite hangover cure. An added bonus? It lets the waiter know to start mixing one as soon as she arrives at brunch.

HAS-IT-ALL MUM

The Has it All Mum can never have enough jewellery - just ask her third husband. Touti Bo's initial ring is crafted from 14ct yellow gold and sprinkled with natural diamonds in a highly contemporary, stacked form. A thoughtful way to put a personal touch on the decadence you know she loves.

A person can never have enough cushions. Add to mum’s collection with Pickles Knitwear’s Love At First Sight cushion. Woven in London from soft Scottish wool, the crimson lip-shaped slogan adds a hint of ‘70s cool to any room - the finishing touch to a snuggly, piled-high sofa or romantic bed curation.

The woman who has everything needs a way to say thank you for it all, so what better gift than Memo Press’s refined note cards. Detailed with calligraphy and the wording of your choice, it’s up to you if she sends all future thank yous care of ‘World’s Best Mum’. Choose her favourite colour from ten pretty House tones and you can’t go wrong.
