32 Christmas Gifts For Mum That Will Put You In Her Good Books Forever
Christmas gifts for mums are some of the hardest presents to buy during the festive season. After all, once you’ve got those scented candles for your in-laws, beauty advent calendars for your sisters, fitness gifts for your best friends, and a party dress (or two) for yourself, the last thing you need is the last-minute stress of finding a present for the all-important matriarchal figure of the family.
When it comes to Christmas gifting, it’s important to remember that it’s the thought that counts above all – but still, you don't want to spend precious time and tonnes of money on a present that falls flat. That's where we come in, with our fail-safe list of presents that are perfect for every type of mum.
FIND OUT MORE ON ELLE COLLECTIVE
For example, if she's a foodie, you can't go wrong with a hamper jam-packed full of festive treats, or one of the new Our Place titanium pans. Those who are real homebodies will appreciate the luxury of snuggling up in a fluffy new bathrobe and UGG slippers, while the party mums out might prefer a personalised bottle of bubbly or perhaps a Dyson hairdryer to help elevate their getting-ready routine.
Luxury lovers are well catered-for, too: we've found a Louis Vuitton vanity case that's the stuff of fashionista dreams, plus the perfect jeans and lots of jewellery options that she's guaranteed to love. And finally, we know first-hand how much busy mums struggle to carve out some much-needed and very well-deserved me-time for themselves, so we've also made sure to include some wellness gifts in there.
With that in mind, here’s our list of the best Christmas gifts to buy your mum in 2024:
Zebe Linen And Cotton-Blend Tablecloth
This vintage-inspired tablecloth from Rixo's new interiors range would make a fabulous addition to any kitchen or dining room. If your pockets are deep enough, there are matching – or cool, clashing – napkins too.

The Lorton 008
This is the kind of high-quality, super-cosy, chunky everyday jumper that will not only stand the test of time, but actually get better with age. That's probably because it's made from some of the best wool in the world, spun by artisans in Loch Leven and finished by hand in Nottinghamshire.
The Token of Love Amulet Necklace
Handcrafted in London from 24kt gold-plated bronze, this sweet necklace will let her know just how much you love her – and make for a stylish addition to her neck stack, too. The fact that 10% of proceeds go to the British Pregnancy Advisory Service (BPAS) only makes it all the more meaningful.
