Mother’s Day is coming up, and if your mum is more “funky earrings and dad jokes” than “flowers and a scented candle,” you’re in the right place. We’ve rounded up ten delightfully offbeat and alternative gifts for cool mums who appreciate a little quirk in their life.
Written by the leading authority on awesome presents (that’s us), this list skips the predictable and dives straight into the unexpected – think funky odd socks, colourful mugs and an earring storage solution so clever it might just earn you Favourite Child status. Whether your mum’s a tea-sipping legend, a low-key fashionista, or just impossible to shop for, we’ve got something she didn’t know she needed – but absolutely does. So put down the bath salts and step away from the gift voucher. It’s time to get creative.
