These ‘Gisele’ pajamas by Eberjay are a best-seller for a reason – they’re made from stretch-modal jersey that feels incredibly soft against the skin.

Who doesn’t have wanderlust right now? Inspired by the lagoons of Malta and their deep azure hues, this Cross Wanderlust Rollerball is decorated with swirling blues and turquoises that look like the sea washing across the shores of this archipelago.
You may not be able to go anywhere near the Mediterranean right now but this pen takes you a small step in the right direction.

OK so that spa trip got cancelled but why not get her a massage at home? From tense shoulders to tired lower back muscles. The Gtech MYO Touch is an at home massager that is fully adjustable for varied massages. Mum can use the adjustment handle and tensioning cord to tailor the pressure or move the track pegs to focus treatment on certain areas or go for a full-length massage.

Very Nice Vodka
Let’s face it – she could probably use a drink right about now. Why not gift her with a bottle of some great vodka.

It tastes lusciously different and you can personalise the bottle with a name or message.

Clean Water
Better than your average Britta – the LifeStraw removes microplastics, parasites, bacteria and chemicals and heavy metals while leaving in potassium, calcium and magnesium. It does all of this in a smart and sleek glass pitcher and filtration system.
For every LifeStraw product you buy, a child in a developing country receives clean drinking water for an entire school year – a pretty perfect gift for any mum.
LifeStraw Home Water Filter Carafe, £54.99, Lakeland
At Home Hair
Mum may want to avoid hair salons right about now – but she is less than thrilled with her root situation.

Using Aveda’s 96% naturally derived hair colour, his award-winning team of stylists can carry out the full range of hair services that are available in the salon group’s luxurious locations.

It’s also really simple to use, with a push button control to let her choose her drink, an anti-drip system for less mess, and a cup warmer that makes it easy to make more drinks for friends and family hanging around.
