Choosing the perfect Mother's Day gift can be tricky, especially if you want to give her something that's both meaningful and practical. Whether you're after heartfelt gifts, something pampering, or a home essential she'll genuinely appreciate, these suggestions go beyond the usual scented candles, scarves and skincare gift sets.

Mum loves coffee, you love mum, so buy her this gorgeous coffee machine from Sunbeam so she can make café-quality coffee at home! Even better, buy some quality beans, set the machine up and make her a beautiful barista-style cappuccino for the best start to Mother’s Day.

The Sunbeam Café Series Duo is a manual espresso maker that combines precision and speed. Its dual thermoblock system heats milk and coffee simultaneously for a faster brew, while the commercial-sized group head and intuitive controls make it easy to craft everything from smooth flat whites to rich espressos.

Pilates is one of the fitness trends of recent years that has well and truly proved that, actually, it’s not a trend and is here to stay. Classes in studios with reformer machines book out in no time, but what if that didn’t stop mum practising her Pilates technique?

The Lifespan Fitness Contour 2 Folding Wood Pilates Reformer combines elegant design with practical features to support a full-body Pilates workout at home. With adjustable resistance, included accessories like a jump board and foot strap, and a foldable frame for easy storage, it suits a range of fitness levels and spaces. Smooth carriage movement and a sturdy maple wood build give it a studio-quality feel.

Ninja’s CREAMi ice cream maker had a bit of a moment recently, and with good reason, but the latest must-have for entertainers is the brand’s SLUSHi drink maker. The first round of frozen margaritas will be ready in only 10 minutes, and with capacity for around 10 drinks at a time, guests won’t be kept waiting too long for a refill.

It’s not just for cocktails, of course; the Ninja SLUSHi FS301 makes it easy to whip up milkshakes and soft drink slushies with no ice or blending required. The five preset drink modes help you get the right texture without any guesswork: nobody wants a watery slushie or sludgy smoothie. With a compact design and dishwasher-safe parts, it’s equal parts party and practicality - perfect for pamper nights or relaxed entertaining.

This stylish hair dryer from Remington is actually a lot more than just a dryer. With four versatile styling attachments it will let mum leave the bathroom looking like she’s just stepped out of the salon.

The Remington ONE Dry and Style Hair Dryer has four attachments, including two diffusers and a flyaway tamer, to suit different hair types. With a powerful 2000W motor, it dries super fast while the Thermacare sensor and Dual Ionic System protect hair from heat damage and reduce frizz. With eight heat and speed settings, it can help mum achieve everything from smooth styles to defined curls - a thoughtful beauty gift idea for mums who like to look polished with less effort.

How cosy does this look? With Autumn well and truly here, where else would you rather be on a cold dark evening than snuggled up under this super soft and cosy heated fleece? The only problem with choosing this for mum is that you might be tempted to keep it yourself, so maybe order two.

The Sunbeam Feel Perfect Sherpa Fleece Heated Throw has a soft and safe warmth with nine heat settings and SleepPerfect® technology that adjusts to changes in your body and room temperature. Its plush faux fur and microfleece design make it super wrappable to keep mum cosy in the cold months, whether she’s on the couch, in bed or working.
