When I come to organise my Christmas shopping I always find the category of Mum difficult. Either buying for my own Mum or answer the question of ‘what would you like for Christmas?‘. Take my Mum whenever I ask her what she would like for Christmas I am generally met with the ‘whatever’ or ‘anything’ answer – one year she asked me for some new socks so I filled a gift box full of them, strangely she has never asked for socks again.
I’ve gathered a few suggestions of what you could add to your own Christmas wish list or what do your Mum this Christmas…
Microwavable Cream Cozy-Boots
Not wanting to stereotype all Mums but I know I love coming home, taking my shoes off and popping on my slippers. With the colder nights what better way to keep your feet cosy than with a pair of microwavable cream cozy-boots. Scented with lavendar to help relax after a busy day

Cala Lily Amber Earrings
Jewellery is always a classic favourite to buy Mums for Christmas, however this year instead of buying something generic take a look at the Museum Selection to see if you can find something a little more unique.
Theses Cala Lily Amber earrings are a beautiful and I’m sure a welcome addition under the Christmas tree – Cala lilies were a recurrent motif in the work of Art Nouveau designers such as Émile Gallé (1846-1904); a symbol of purity.
