35 best gifts for mums in 2026, approved by Glamour's gifting editor

Leather Flight Jacket

Ralph Lauren is known for its classic button-downs and cable knits — AKA premium basics you'll call on forever. Take this chocolate-coloured jacket, crafted from buttery leather and cut into a ‘90s-esque bomber style. Perfect for pairing with wide-leg jeans or throwing over a summer dress to edge it up, it’s the kind of considerate wardrobe addition your mum will rave about for years to come.

Love Luxury Signature Candle

One thing my mum is never not grateful for? A scented candle. The woman has one light at all times, using it to create, and I quote, 'a cosy vibe’. With notes of amber and tonka bean, layered with woody base notes of blond tobacco and oud, this is sure to deliver exactly what she wants. Plus, a £10 contribution from the sale of this candle goes to The King's Trust, who help young women who are facing disadvantage and adversity to get the support they need to build a better future.

Sunburst Bouquet

I'm prepared to fight on this one: Arena Flowers do some of the best letterbox bouquets — so much so that I've treated nearly every woman in my life to a bunch. The Sunburst comes packed with apricot roses and chrysanthemums, hand-tied and delivered to her doorstep. A low-effort, high-reward gift.

Shark SilkiPro Straight Hair Straightener + Dryer in One Tool

What mums really want? Extra hours in the day — and Shark's newest launch might actually help her find them. Designed to simultaneously dry and straighten, this will help her skip an entire step, while also leaving her hair silky smooth. But it also arrives with two interchangeable combs to allow for a customised finish. Personally, I almost forgot how naturally frizzy my locks are, and now I can't go a morning without it.

Picton Wool-Cashmere Scarf

It could be the height of summer, and my mum will still carry with her an extra layer to throw around her shoulders so she doesn't get cold. The perk of the Picton scarf, though, is its 95% wool, 5% cashmere-blend, making it super soft and cosy.

NEOM x Face the Future Perfect Pamper Kit

While this gift set supplies her with everything she needs for an effective hour of self-care, it'll also act as a physical reminder to carve out time for herself. Designed to deliver healthy doses of calm, comfort and indulgence, the gift set includes:

• Real Luxury Magnesium Body Butter
• Real Luxury Magnesium Bath Milk
• Real Luxury Cocooning Shower Cream
• Real Luxury Bath Foam
• Complete Bliss Travel Candle

… and all packed inside a reusable pink striped pouch. Adorbs!

Keshi Pearl Small Drop Earrings

Pearls? Part of the mum uniform. But Monica Vinader has substituted a string to be worn around her neck with these statement earrings, crafted from recycled 18k gold vermeil and pearls. I especially love the wrinkle finish detailing, which dresses these down a little, making them suitable for daily wear.

Linen-Blend Cocktail Leopard Geo Print Long Pyjama Set

If I somehow lost all of my matching pyjama sets — 17 and counting — a Chelsea Peers pair would be top of my list to repurchase. They're, handsdown, the comfiest of all I've tried. I love the leopard print and pink squiggle decorating these — and even more so that they're available in every size from a UK6 to 18.

Haus Labs Eye Library Eyeshadow Palette

This gorgeous eyeshadow row features complementary shades of pearl pink, terracotta, champagne, and shimmering gold, plus it comes with all the necessary instructions for creating a gorgeous eye look. Ideal for beauty novices and committed smoky-eye fans alike.

Oxford Envelope Silk Pillowcase

For those not in the know, a silk pillowcase reduces the risk of hair breakage and minimal transfer of skincare from face to pillow. Think of it as a little luxury she can enjoy daily, and therefore an ideal gift for your hard-working mum.

Pony-Hair Leopard Square-Buckle Belt

FYI, leopard print is a neutral, and so this belt should work with everything in her wardrobe. Paired with jeans and a white tee, it'll add a pop of personality or an edge of confidence when layered over her go-to wide-leg trousers for work. Just don't make the mistake of promising not to borrow it…

Starter Stack

Trinny London's Starter Stack is a great present for anyone — and even better for always-on-the-go mums. It comes with all the essential makeup staples she needs for a flawless complexion, including:

• BFF SPF 30 Cream
• Likp2Cheek Multitasking Matte Colour
• Lip Glow Hydrating Lip Gloss
• Eye2Eye Cream-Based Eye Shades

Mini Cookware Duo

Find someone I haven't raved about my Our Place pan to. Yep, my Mini Always Pan 2.0 sautes, fries, bakes, sears, boils, braises, strains, serves and stores whatever I've conjured up — usually some form of pasta — and makes clean up easy, considering it's non-stick, too. But this two-piece set, also including the Mini Perfect Pot 2.0, is primed for mums who love to host. And that ‘Forget Me Not’ blue hue? The brand's best yet.

Mixed Metal Small Double Heart on Belcher Chain

A pendant is an everyday staple — but one adorned with individual hearts to represent each of her mini me's? A sentimental keepsake she'll treasure forever. But the brand has eco-credentials, too, considering this necklace features a recycled sterling silver chain made by a member of the Responsible Jewellery Council.

Damask Rose Silk Sleep Mask

After eight months together, I now can't sleep without my Drowsy eye mask — and after hearing my rave reviews, my mum is convinced she needs one too. Made from 22-momme mulberry silk, it's light-blocking, sound-muffling and hypoallergenic. Plus, the soft-to-touch material replicates that 'cool side of the pillow' feeling all night long.

WOLF X LIBERTY Ianthe Small Travel Jewellery Zip Case

It's a struggle every mum can relate to — trying to find a way to transport all her favourite jewels without them ending up broken or tangled. Thankfully, this jewellery box, part of a limited edition collab between WOLF and Liberty, will keep them safe and tarnish-free, thanks to the LusterLoc lining, which works to absorb all hostile gases responsible for discolouration. Cute and smart!

Assouline Travel Book

A (stunning) photographic ode to one of my favourite Spanish islands, this is the ideal gift if your mama is keen to plan her post-retirement travels — or mentally escape while her other half painfully watches their sporting team flop on telly.

Perrier-Jouët Grand Brut Non Vintage Champagne

My mum hates the thought of me spending money on her. But she's my best friend, therapist, and voice of reason in one, so of course I'm going to take the opportunity to shower and spoil her. With notes of blossom, honeysuckle and yellow fruit, this option from Perrier-Jouët — the first house ever to experiment with producing dry Champagnes — is light, fresh and a little floral.

Personalised Metal Photo Keyring

If your mum carries her entire life in her handbag — from hand cream to snacks and her emotional support water bottle — then chances are it takes her a good five minutes to find her keys. Make it easier (and cuter) by attaching this personalised keyring. Plus, she'll be reminded of you every time she fishes them out.

Yves Saint Laurent Libre Le Parfum

Thanks to the addition of spicy saffron accord, this is an intense upgrade on the bestselling floral scent. The base? A blend of cool Diva lavender Heart from France and sensual orange blossom absolute from Morocco, making it a favourite of our European Senior Commerce Editor, Sophie Cockett. A gift we're sure won't disappoint.

Clara Pink & Green Glass Electric Diffuser

If your mum, like mine, is constantly sending you pics of chic hotel interiors she's spotted in the likes of Condé Nast Traveller, then a considerate gift would be homeware that slowly moves her towards her vision board. This vibrant electric oil diffuser from Oliver Bonas has four time settings and another four light options. Plus, each is totally unique, due to the fact that each glass cover is handmade.

Primrose Baby Changing Bag

One thing my sister got overly excited about when expecting her first child? Choosing a chic baby changing bag — and yes, such a thing exists. So, cross one thing off your expectant pal's list by hand-delivering her ROKA's new Primrose Bag, fitted with three bottle pockets (including one insulated), a small waterproof pocket for anything wet, a padded laptop sleeve and a dedicated dummy pouch. Plus, they'll get a coordinating padded changing mat thrown in, too! Choose from one of seven colours, including this Mean Girls-pink.

Velvetiser Pebble Machine

We might be heading out of hot chocolate season, but I can guarantee my mum will still be making herself a mug of the good stuff every evening for the foreseeable. Although this upgrade on the viral Velvitiser now gives her the option to make both hot or cold drinkable choc. Fun fact: it was designed in collaboration with Royal College of Arts ceramicist Andrew Wicks, inspired by the shape of a cacao pod.

Youthbomb Glow Power Duos

A supercharged glow-boosting serum that helps unlock radiant skin? Yeah, this is one of those gifts we might beg to borrow upon opening. Packed with 15 active ingredients, including 3% vitamin B3, 3% vitamin C, hexapeptides, proteins and exopolysaccharides, this is the definition of effective skincare. But also included in this gift set is the Youthbomb Breakthrough Repair Cream, which we can confirm is deeply moisturising, firming, and dark-spot brightening.

Magic Potion Mug

If, like mine, your mum's pet peeve is teeny tiny coffee mug, anna + nina is the brand to put her onto. This soup bowl-style server is the ideal size for her AM cappuccino and comes adorned with a fairly accurate message.

Merino Wool Triangle Scarf

Chances are, your mum will already have had her eye on this viral triangle scarf – seen on many a fashion influencer on TikTok and Instagram – but has been putting off buying it. So, why not surprise her instead? Plus, it's an easy way to brighten up any combo of wardrobe basics.

Polly Lock Chain Layering Set

The fashion set might be predicting a switch to silver, but Glamour editors are still wearing stacks of gold jewels. This vintage-inspired chain bracelet, crafted from 18ct gold plate on brass, is lightweight enough to be worn daily. Plus, there'll be no concerns about what to pair it with, considering this set also includes the coordinating necklace.

The Counting Sheep Sleepy Box of Hugs

Founded by three sisters after they struggled to find letterbox gifts for their mum as she recovered from a brain tumour, Box of Hugs offers considerate alternatives to flowers. This gift set is packed with new mums in mind and includes a ‘No Sleep Club’ mug from Eleanor Bowmer, as well as a cosy pair of socks, a Biscoff-flavoured sweet treat, an aromatherapy-powered pillow mist, warming eye patches and a card, printed with a message of your choosing.

The Little Book of Self-Care for New Mums

For the expectant mum who needs a little bit of guidance. It can be hard knowing the right thing to say or do when our pal (and new parent) admits they're struggling. Luckily, this book is primed for regular pep talks while also offering top tips on how to care for themselves post-birth.

Charlotte Bold Ring

If it wasn't obvious by the bold collars and attention-grabbing over-the-knee boots we're into this season, we're leaning into the maximalist side of things. That rule applies to our jewellery too, hence why this thick, ridged ring is top of our wishlist — and likely your mum's too.

Damson Madder x Papier Painterly Stripe Notebook

If your mum is one of those people who can't go to bed without emptying her brain onto paper and planning every hour of the next day, then a personalised notebook is a super considerate gift. This one comes packed with thick leaves and an on-trend blue/burgundy stripe outer. The epitome of practical luxury.
