1. Flowers That Live Forever
Who doesn’t love receiving flowers? However, if you’d like your bouquet to last a little longer, wooden flowers are the way to go. The ones we’ve found here are laser cut and can be personalised with an engraved message to mark the occasion, so they’ll make a great keepsake, too.

4. A Calming Candle
Nothing relaxes quite like a quality candle and a bubble bath, so this scented candle from Neom Organics + an offer to fill up the tub + a cup of herbal tea (or glass of Prosecco) while they soak is sure to bring a big smile to Mum’s face. The candle’s made with Moroccan blush rose, lime and black pepper, plus 14 other essential oils.

5. Snuggly Hot Water Bottle
If your partner is pregnant or just had a baby, then this long, soft-fleece hot water bottle will soothe away any aches and pains.

6. Huggable Tablet Stand
This vintage floral ‘huggable’ tablet stand is a really useful find. Available from Not Another Bunch Of Flowers (a website set up by a former breast-cancer patient, Anikka Burton, who was overwhelmed with the flowers she recieved during her time in hospital), this stand makes it easy to prop up your tablet in bed, meaning a new mum (or simply a tired mum!) will be able to watch films, read and surf the internet to her heart’s content. A percentage of all sales made by this company go to good causes, so others will benefit from your gift, too.
