Pen Heaven Parker IM Brushed Metal Gold Trim Ballpoint & Rollerball Pen Set
My mum is very particular about handwriting, which is a shame because mine is shocking, I think because my brain works faster than my hand and write. I find that a nice pen helps, especially one that is nice and smooth to write with – if you know, you know!
This Parker set includes a rollerball pen with a fine nib and a ballpoint pen with a medium nib so you get the best of both worlds, depending on your preference. It is also a really classy brushed metal with gold trim so it looks the part too.

Kingfisher Lego
If you ever watch my Insta Stories you will know how much I love Kingfishers and Lego and this combines the two!
I find Lego really relaxing, it is the one thing that I can shut off and do without getting distracted which is a minor miracle having ADHD. It is also something that my boys also love so we can enjoy a hobby together. If your mum is anything like me she will love a Lego gift, there is so much variety like flowers, birds as well as ranges from the likes of Star Wars!

Dundee Candle Works Marmalade and Lime Reed Diffuser
Dundee Candle Works is a small Scottish business producing traditionally made candles and diffusers. I have had this Reed Diffuser a couple of weeks now and it is lovely! It is a nice, fresh scent that isn’t too overpowering – even Monsieur Incidental approves which is saying something as he doesn’t usually like reed diffusers. It would make a great gift for a mum while also supporting a small business.
There are other fragrances available as well as candles and gift sets.

The 6 cupcakes are Lemon & Elderflower, Raspberry & Rose and a beautiful pink Vanilla flavoured cupcake. I had the lemon one which had a gorgeous lemon curd filling and lashings of icing.

VistaPrint
VistaPrint can print your favorite photograph on pretty much everything – mugs, mousemats, cushion covers, blankets and so on. I went for the more traditional option of a framed photo. This is actually for my outlaws, it’s one of their favorite photographs. Sadly it’s a bit grainy but that is due to the original photo not being the best quality, not due to the printing process. They will still love it, I’m sure.
VistaPrint gifts start from a couple of pounds, this framed print was £48.00 (it’s large!) from VistaPrint

Haier Series 5 Toaster
Seriously, this toaster is amazing! Well, as amazing as a toaster can be until it can load the dishwasher and mop the floor but still.
It takes a whole slice of bread without leaving the top of the crust sticking out which is a novelty, how hard it is for all toasters to have that ability I do not know! It’s also extra wide so it can accommodate thick slices of bread, french stick and so on. As if that wasn’t enough it also has the option to toast one side meaning you can have a bagel with a crispier leaving the other side more soft.
Series 5 Toaster is currently on offer £79.00 (usually £119.00) available directly from Haier
