Great Christmas present and stocking filler ideas for your mum

I adore spoiling my mum at Christmas, I buy her a stocking and lots of presents each year. I know it’s not all about the presents, but she works very hard for our family and really deserves it. Here are some ideas for gifts and stocking fillers to get your mum for Christmas.

Beauty gifts to pamper your mum this Christmas

• Hand cream is always a great place to start and is the perfect stocking filler.
• Nail varnish also fits perfectly into a stocking and you can find some really jazzy colours, I love Barry M’s metallic range at the moment and it’s super long-lasting.
• Crystal nail files, they last much longer than regular nail files and are better for the environment.
• A face mask is a really nice touch and reminds your mum to take some time to sit down and relax.

Food and drink gifts to treat your mum to something yummy for Christmas

• A Christmas edition of her favourite chocolate bar, because who doesn’t love chocolate!
• Make her something personal like cookies or truffles, the effort will be clear and she’ll love them!
• Buy her a bottle of her favourite wine, that will always go down a treat.
• If you have a Christmas market near you, they always do the best fudge, a pack of this would be perfect for a stocking.

Books as gifts this Christmas, because… do I really need a reason?

• Comedy books are great little stocking fillers and I bet your local bookshop will have a table dedicated to them at this time of year.
• Check and see if her favourite author has anything new out that she hasn’t read yet.
• Ask a bookseller for advice, you could tell them a few books your mum enjoys and see what they’d recommend.
• Have a look at the year’s bestsellers and see if there’s anything from that list your mum would enjoy.

Clothes gifts to make your mum feel extra special this Christmas

• Socks are always going to be a winner and the perfect fit for a stocking.
• A lovely pair of gloves will always be loved, you can get some really cute ones or a sophisticated, smart pair.
• A pair of slippers seem to be the perfect Christmas gift every year!
• Dare I add in a scarf? If you have the talent, why not make one yourself?

Experience gifts that will be a unique surprise for your mum this Christmas

• Top of this list will always be a massage because I think mum’s need reminders to relax and take time out for themselves.
• You could book in for a spa day for the two of you to enjoy some quality time together.
• Tickets to a show, maybe in a city near you or in your local theatre.
• Perhaps there are some classes you could attend together, a baking class or ice skating even.
