Instead of chocolates or flowers, why not surprise your mum with a gift from The Handpicked Collection that will really show her how much you care.

Is your mum a granny who dotes on the little darlings? The Photo Tray (£27.95) will ensure she can have her morning cuppa with her grandchildren while the colourful leather Boasting Envelope (£22.95) or Photo Key Ring (£13.95) means she can brag to her friends in style!

If granny loves the kids’ art but is reluctant to ruin her walls with blue tac the Children’s Art File & Frame (£14.95 for a single) is perfect. Doubles and triples are also available. Looking like a work of art in itself, these innovative frames means a scribble can transform into a mini Monet! Alternatively, immortalize a child’s special picture onto the Mini Picasso Keyring (£17.95) – you provide the art and it is turned into a heartfelt keyring.

For the domestic goddess, the fun Pink Spotty Frying Pan (£9.95) will put a smile on her face while the Heart Olive Wood Chopping Board (£24.95) or Silver-Plated Heart Toast Rack (£23.95) will show her how much she is loved.

Does your mum love entertaining? The Natural Slate Cheeseboard (£16.95) and Boxed Three-Piece Cheese Knife Set (£29.95) will enhance any dinner party table especially if the Black + Blum Candelabra Loop (£17.95) is set in the centre.

What most mums really want is some pure and unadulterated pampering so The Handpicked Collection’s Abahna range is perfect. Choose from the Mini Bag Set (£14.95) that includes bath foam, lotion and soap, indulgent Bath Oil (£23.95) or the Foam Blending Set (£39.95) for someone deserving real spa time out.

If you are just looking for just a small token of love, The Handpicked Collection has many inspiring gifts including Luxurious Heart Soaps (£7.50) and Year of Heart Soaps (£8.95) both of which are beautifully packaged, while the Yummy Mummy or Goddess Mugs (£7.95) will bring a smile to any mum’s face.

If you have a supermum who has been especially fabulous this year and you really want to give her a big treat, how about a Style & Colour Consultation (£375 for both)? This full day’s outing will have mum looking like a celebrity by the end of it and can be a great confidence booster.

Or how about a gift that lasts for nine months with a Magazine Subscription (£29.95). With a choice from Marie Claire, In Style, Essentials, Ideal Home, Woman & Home or Homes & Gardens there is a choice for any mum whether green fingered or fashion conscious.

Or why not treat your mum to some quality time together and book two places on the L’atelier des Chefs Cookery Class (£89.95 per person). This two-hour course teaches between three and six recipes and then you can catch up on all the gossip over a glass of wine and a delicious dinner.
