Unusual gifts for Mum

A present for Mum should feel chosen, not grabbed. These come from independent makers and shops across the UK: woollen throws from Melin Tregwynt's working mill in Pembrokeshire, dried flower bouquets from Design By Nature in London, and niche perfume from Pairfum London.

Add rare loose-leaf teas from Rare Tea Company, forgotten 20th-century books in grey covers from Persephone Books in Bath, and stoneware from Potters in Ramsgate.

Every mum is different, so if you know what she loves, try the gift finder for ideas matched to her.

Every piece is in stock at the time of loading and links straight to the shop. If you buy, the shop may pay us a small commission, at no cost to you. How we work
