Best Christmas gifts for mum - presents she'll really love opening on the big day

Yep, it's that time of the year again... When we scratch our heads and spend hours trying to decide what presents to buy for everyone.

Well, you don't need to worry about the best Christmas gifts for mum, because we've picked out the top buys and done the hard work for you.

From brilliant beauty buys and perfume picks to gardening gifts and chic accessories, there's something to suit all tastes.

And of course, this season is all about comfort, so there's scented candles, sumptuous slippers, cosy dressing gowns and silky-soft nightwear in there too. Now you just have to pick one... Easy, right?

Best Christmas gifts for mum

1. Clarins 'Extra-Firming Collection' Skincare Gift Set

All women love luxury beauty products, and this anti-ageing skincare set is ideal.

It contains a firming day cream that can be used as a daily moisturiser, a night cream and a pampering mask. All contained in a handy and stylish wash bag.

Price: £51.90, Escentual - buy here now

2. Diptyque Limited Edition Insolite Candle

What's better than indulgent, beautifully scented Diptyque candle? One that comes in an exclusive Liberty Strawberry Thief print, of course.

This pretty gift not only looks great but smells wonderful too. There's a rich blend of warm and cold spices, petals, zests, peels and leaves,  inspired by the unique and sophisticated aromas of an eclectic boutique. Mum will love it.

Price: £54, Liberty - buy here now

3. Gucci Bloom Acqua Di Fiori Eau de Toilette

You can't go wrong with perfume, and this Gucci Bloom scent comes in the prettiest packaging as well as being  a fab fragrance.

We love the romantic floral print perfect for looking lovely on any vanity desk, and the aroma  blends the subtle musky tones of Galbanum leaves and the delicate spiciness of Cassis buds with blooming floral notes. A lovely little gift.

Price: £54 for 50ml, Amazon - buy here now

4. Dior Holiday Couture Collection Mascara and Lipstick Makeup Gift Set

Beauty gift sets can be a bit of a minefield as they often come with at least one item you wouldn't use. So keep things simple with an affordable yet high-end set that's streamlined to just two perfect pieces.

Everybody loves a good black mascara, and a red lip is an iconic, elegant look perfect for parties and get-togethers.

Price: £28, John Lewis - buy here now

5. M&S Satin Floral Pyjama Set

Is it even Christmas if you don't get a new set of pyjamas? This pair from M&S are satin-smooth and stylish, perfect as a gift for mum.

The pretty pink is enhanced with a floral print, and there's a handy elasticated waist for a comfortable snooze. Plus, they look more expensive than they really are.

Price: £30, M&S - buy here now

6. John Lewis & Partners Minnie Waffle Robe

This dressing gown ticks all the boxes: it's the perfect length (not too long or too short), it's got pockets, and it's super-snuggly.

Another bonus, of course, is that it also goes with mum's new pink PJs from M&S (see above).

It'll keep mum warm on cold mornings and cosy on the sofa in the evening. What more could she want?

Price: £35, John Lewis - buy here now

7. Velvet Bow Slider Slippers

Slippers are another Christmas must-buy, and this sumptuous yet affordable pair from The White Company are ideal.

The pretty bow-embellished velvet outer in inky blue is lovely to look at but also durable. And the super-soft faux fur-lined interior offers just the right amount of snug.

Price: £39, The White Company - buy here now

8. Morris & Co. Gloves & Hand Cream Gardening Gift Set

As we're spending so much more time at home these days, many of us have taken a keen interest in the garden.

Make sure your mum is stylish and protected while tending plants with these chic gardening gloves from Morris & Co.

The set comes with a full-sized Pink Clay & Honeysuckle hand cream, enriched with pink clay, shea butter, jojoba and macadamia oils to help keep hands super-soft after a day in the garden. We love.

Price: £25, Amazon - buy here now

9. Asterly Clarke Gold Plated Vermeil Silver Celestial Compass White Sapphire Drop Earrings

Elegant, subtle and sophisticated, these drop earrings are a gorgeous gift for mum.

Crafted from high-polished 18 carat gold plated vermeil silver, each of these earrings has a small compass-inspired drop. Giving a nod to the age-old technique of celestial navigation, an engraved star design takes centre stage with eight rays of light shooting out from a glittering white sapphire centre. Lovely.

Price: £85, Liberty - buy here now

10. Hotel Chocolat The Classic Christmas Sleekster

Chocolate is the food of love, so show your mum how much you care with this glorious Christmas collection from Hotel Chocolat.

Expect seasonal classics like Christmas Mess, Mulled Wine and Clementine alongside bestsellers such as The Brownie, Champagne and the molten-caramel Jolly Penguin. The perfect gift for them to tuck into on the sofa in front of a festive film. And, if you're lucky, she might share them with you.
