Gift Guide: The Perfect Gifts for Mum

jo malone gift set

Ah, your darling mother. She carried you for nine long months, she showered you with unconditional love from day one and no matter the time of day, even if you interrupt her at the climax of the Downton Abbey finale, she’s always there for you. From the time she put plasters on your bruised knees, right through to those nights when she dried your eyes over that boy who broke your heart into a million tiny pieces, and now as you embark on all that adult life has to offer, there’ll never be a woman as reliable as your mother.

They say motherhood is often a thankless job. And so, every Christmas (and Mother’s Day) we’re given the opportunity to express our continued gratitude for all that she’s done and all that she’ll do, this unyielding superwoman, this best friend.

Here we round up some of the nicest ways to wish your mum a Happy Christmas in 2014.
