See, we're looking out for you! So don't forget. It's not too late to get that card, pop it in the mail, or even better, arrange for flowers to be delivered to her home or office on Friday. And if that's not enough, we've got a gift list below.

Since Mum is the purest of them all, treat her to some products from Ila Spa, which creates products that are not only organic, but come from plants or minerals sourced from the foothills of the Himalayas and the rock mines of Kashmir. If you're unsure, buy her an Orange Blossom Candle to remind her that spring is near.

If you're still feeling guilty about your stint as a hellion child, a piece of jewellery from Verdura in St. James would no doubt be appreciated. Check out the brooches, which are both traditional and modern.

For your gardening Mum, let us suggest a membership to the most famous garden in the UK (that's Kew, silly).

For your foodie mum, a delicious book:

• The Food Snob's Dictionary: An Essential Lexicon of Gastronomical Knowledge by David Kamp, Marion Rosenfeld, and Ross MacDonald
• My Last Supper: The World's Greatest Chefs and Their Final Feasts by Melanie Dunea
• Kitchen Mysteries: Revealing the Science of Food (Arts & Traditions of the Table: Perspectives on Culinary History) by Hervé This
• Backstage With Julia: My Years With Julia Child by Nancy Verde Barr
• No Reservations: Around the World on an Empty Stomach by Anthony Bourdain

If you prefer to be guided and not led, check out these good sources of inspiration:

• British Museum Shop
• The Tate Shop
• Design Museum Shop
• The V&A Shop

And lastly, if there someone you'd like to make a mum, Liberty has a new lingerie department.

Just don't get the gift boxes confused.
