Great Mother's day gift ideas – in pictures

Fountain pen, £46

Waremakers is an excellent new online boutique dedicated to the best-designed and crafted products from around the world, supporting smaller scale but higher quality makers. For instance, this fountain pen from German producer Kaweco - who have been making pretty much the same design, in hand-polished solid aluminium, since 1910 - is a piece of stationery heaven.

Well OK, there's spring lambs and chicks and bunnies, but fruit liqueurs work much better in a glass of prosecco or a martini. These two are particularly fine. And of course you get to share, right?
