Martini glasses are a non-negotiable addition to any drinks cabinets and this set of four from LSA would pair perfectly with the aforementioned martini gift set. They're beautifully made with a delicate stem for that cool, classy factor.

This basil flavoured olive oil would make a fabulous addition to salad dressings and the bottle is worthy of displaying on your kitchen counter. It's the perfect gift for the mum that's a keen cook.

Earn kudos with your mum by gifting her this gorgeous Italian rosé from the brand Pasqua who make some really unique and flavourful wines.

11 minutes is a fresh rosé with an intense and complex floral taste, created to compliment your spring and summer meals.

It's named 11 minutes to refer to the duration of the skin contact phase (the pressing of the grapes) which then gives it a slightly rosy colour when bottled.

Skeppshult have been making cast iron cookware since 1906 and the Scandinavian brand is a must-have in the kitchen if your mum loves to cook.

Alongside cast iron pots and pans, they also have this nifty spice mill which replaces a typical pestle and mortar, and takes up way less space if the recipients kitchen is on the smaller side.

Add your spices into the bottom compartment and grind away by twisting the main body. Once you've finished grinding your spices, you can store leftovers in the top compartment which has an airtight rubber seal (to keep moisture out) along the walnut wood lid.

St Germain is a wonderful gift idea if your mum loves a sweet drink. This French liqueur is made with fresh, hand-picked elderflowers and has notes of citrus, honeysuckle and pear.

It works really well in a spritz cocktail, or you can even add it to your next margarita for a floral take on the classic cocktail.

This affordable set comes with a 50cl bottle of the liqueur plus a glass for your mum to enjoy her spritz from.

Luxury, non-alcoholic sparkling tea brand, Saicho, have a wonderful Mother's Day gift which is available for next day delivery on Amazon up until Sunday so is perfect for those still needing to buy a last minute gift, whilst staying thoughtful.

We often gift our loved ones with delicious bottles of wine and champagne but for those who don't drink alcohol, this isn't an option. Designed as a luxury alternative to wine or champagne, Saicho is the perfect alternative.

Zwilling's impressive range of home appliances is a great option for mum's looking to upgrade their kitchen essentials. This new milk frother in a stylish matte black finish is part of their Enfinigy range which uses energy efficient specifications.With its two attachments for stirring and foaming, this milk frother will give you an incredibly creamy and barista-quality foam. Plus, it can even handle plant based alternatives too.

The Mexican elbow lime squeezer is a favourite utensil for our cookery team. It's their lime squeezer of choice in the Test Kitchen and makes squeezing citrus easy and efficient. It's a must-have for keen cooks (or margarita enthusiasts).

The Biscuiteers signature tea features a luxurious selection of delicate finger sandwiches, exquisite pâtisserie, freshly baked scones and their iconic hand-iced biscuits – all hand-made by their patisserie team.

Served with their bespoke blend of Tregothnan tea, and for those special occasions or simply just because, why not include a glass of Biscuiteers fizz?

This versatile cutting board is made from American black walnut wood and keeps your knifes sharp. Plus, it has a genius juice trench to keep mess to a minimum, and it doubles as a beautiful serving platter for any centrepiece meals.

Make your mum's next coffee one to remember with this cute art deco-inspired ceramic cafetiere. It'll jazz up their kitchen instantly with the bright pink and orange print.
