There’s no such thing as a ‘one-type-fits-all’ mum. Some mums romanticise the fabulous skin that belonged to their younger selves, while some answer work calls while packing tiffin boxes, and some just want five minutes alone with a hot cup of chai before they roll up their sleeves to face the chaos. This is exactly why gifting for Mother's Day shouldn’t feel generic.
This year, skip the predictable mugs and flowers. Instead, gift her something that actually feels like her. From the main-character mum to the homebody, here’s a guide for every kind of mama in your life.
