I’ve been searching far and wide for the best Mother’s Day gifts – and have come to realise one thing. There isn’t really one single best gift for mums this Mothering Sunday. The best Mother’s Day gift for your loved one depends on what she loves – and your budget. But don’t let the sheer choice prevent you from being prepared.

Your chic, extra-special superwoman of a mum – or the mother-in-law/grandma/mum-to-be in your life – deserves to be thanked and appreciated with something more than a gift card or bottle of cheap hand lotion. Luckily, there’s a range of Mother’s Day gifts to choose from.

In this gift guide, we’ve kept things pretty classic, with afternoon tea hampers, fresh flower deliveries, letterbox truffles and home fragrance gift sets – but we’ve also included some luxury gifts for those with a little more to spend. Think: Mulberry’s new season Amberley Satchel and Hermès Beauty’s limited-edition nail polish carrousel.

What to buy mum for Mother's Day, our top picks:
