The 64 best gifts for mums that she actually wants to receive

Shop GQ’s edit of the best gifts for mum this year. From hampers and scented candles to jewellery and books, it’s time to give back to mummy dearest

The category of ‘gifts for mum’ is such a large and varied one — in contrast to the relative scarcity of gifts for dad — that choosing her a birthday gift can seem like a dauntingly vast undertaking. Outside of the Mother's Day cycle, where does one look when the most important woman in your life needs treating? Without guidance, it can seem an impossible task. Instead of facing the endlessness of the internet's gifting options alone, read on: we've conspired with a series of GQ's writers and editors to come up with a list of the very best gifts for mum.

For more inspiration, look to our best gifts for women guide, and if you're in the swing of pressie-buying, get Father's Day presents sorted with our gifts for dads and best gifts for men guides.

What are the best gift ideas for mums?

The flower delivery service may be your first port of call when shopping for mum, and we wouldn't blame you a jot. Brands such as Bloom & Wild, Flowerbx and Appleyard Flowers are all goldmines for the gifting search, with many offering add-ons such as candles and vases to bulk out your order.

On the subject of home accessories, pleasantly-scented ornaments — candles and diffusers chief among them — rarely miss: try Jo Malone, The White Company or Neom for starters. Another one of our failsafe choices also concerns the home: silk sleepwear such as pyjamas or a wrap-around eye mask have the prestige of a luxury gift without the price tag of one.

Mum already has all the flowers, candles and silk pyjamas she could ever have need for? Try Kiehls or Clarins for skincare, Noah's Box or Cast for crafts or Charlotte Tilbury and Trinny London for make-up.

Need something quicker? Here are our top picks.
