Desire Matte Black Jug Blender from Russell Hobbs
For the mum who is also a passionate cook, the Desire Matte Black Jug Blender from Russell Hobbs would make a great, functional gift.
Whether it is sauces, soups or smoothies, the 1.5L glass jug blender with stainless steel blades (with serrated edges) ensures smooth blending each time after time. The powerful blades can blitz, whiz and blend up any ingredient.
The build quality of the blender is great with safety and stability taken into consideration. A safety lock on the base prevents the jug from separating from the base mid blend and non-slip feet are in place for increased stability so that the person using the blender has a safe and pleasant blending experience!
With this handy appliance in the kitchen, mum can whip up milkshakes, smoothies or soups in a jiffy. A fantastic, practical gift!

DeFacto offers a wide range of quality fashion for women, from clothes and shoes to accessories and jewellery.

I have picked two lovely products from DeFacto for inclusion in this guide.
First up is a Patterned Wallet (£16). With a beautiful print and in a compact enough size to fit into a handbag, the wallet is perfect to store cash, cards and receipts. Made with a combination of Polyurethane and Polyester, the wallet looks hard-wearing and an all-rounder that is sure to last a long time. A fab, practical gift for mum.
Next I selected a Faux Leather Bag with Chain (£16.00). Made from Polyurethane, the bright pink bag is simple yet stylish and can comfortably accommodate a purse, mobile phone, keys, cosmetics etc. The bag is compact, has a front flap and a chain detailed strap adds to the style factor. A great little bag for the coming season!
Shining Star Jumper & Reversible Gilet from Cotton Traders
Cotton Traders have some really gorgeous pieces of clothing and I picked these two pieces from their website to include in this guide.
First is the Shining Star Jumper (£36) which I think is a wonderful gift for any mum because after all mums are shining stars to their children. The jumper features a super soft knit and has a ribbed crew neck with long sleeves with a slight drop shoulder. The highlight is the sparkling contrasting intarsia star to the front, embellished with sequins! It's beautiful.
My second pick is the Double-Up Reversible Gilet (£39) which is a very versatile and practical gift. It is a fully reversible gilet for two stylish looks in one! On one side there is a spot print and diamond quilting with popper-fastening slanted flap pockets and on the other side is a beautiful floral print and horizontal quilting popper-fastening slanted welt pockets. The sleeveless gilet offers warmth without feeling restricted and is complemented by princess seams for a flattering fit.
Do check out Cotton Traders' online as they have lots of great gifts for women.

The MasterClass Smart Silicone Round Cake Pan is made of high-quality, food-safe silicone that distributes heat evenly for a great bake.

GameSir X2 Lightning Mobile Gaming Controller
If your mum is a gamer, then this next suggestion is for her.
The GameSir X2 Lightning Mobile Gaming Controller will turn an iPhone into a handheld gaming console. I tis compatible with leading cloud gaming services including Xbox Game Pass, Stadia, Amazon Luna, Vortex, Steam Link, hundreds of popular mobile games including Call of Duty Mobile (iPhone only), Minecraft & many more.
The controller supports plug-and-play, is easy to install, has no game delay and operation response in time, which greatly meets the needs of players for the sensitivity of the gamepad.
The gaming controller features a durable stretchable design (100-173mm) and is compatible with many mainstream iPhones (Max Length of 173 mm, Thickness of 1cm) like iPhone 11, iPhone 12, iPhone 13 Pro, iPhone 13 and iPhone13 mini. A soft rubber grip makes it more grip-friendly than the iPhone itself, providing enough comfort, even if one were to play a game for a long time. And while the GameSir X2 itself does not contain a battery, it supports charging and playing and is powered by the phone through the Lightning port.
