Flowers and an M&S gift card might be nice, but they're not the most thoughtful of Mother's Day gifts. So if you've been thinking about going the extra mile for mum this year, an editor-approved present might be the way to go.

That's where where I come in. I've put together a list of the best home, fashion and beauty buys - all reviewed and chosen by our expert testers. This year is your chance to really raise the bar and pick up a thoughtful present that your mum will truly love.

Our editors and writers are constantly trying, testing and obsessing over the latest and greatest products - be it new in John Lewis fashion drops or Marks and Spencer's latest luxury homewares. 

The below picks are genuine tested products and recommendations that are guaranteed to deliver. We're talking jeans that flatter, lip balms and hydrating cleansers that deliver spa-level glow at home and kitchen must-haves like coffee machines, casserole dishes and frying pans that earn their space on the worktop. 

Every item in this guide has been properly put through its paces, so consider this your shortcut to being the favourite child whether your budget is £20 or £200.

I think the best home gifts should be practical but still feel like a treat. You want them to be useful to your mum's space but not add clutter. Whether she is queen of calm or a serial redecorator, the right homeware is a great Mother's Day gift.

Here, we've focused on pieces that combine style with real life practicality. This includes appliances that save time rather than create more washing up, garden furniture to help her relax and little luxuries to make things like have a coffee feel a bit more special. 

These are the items our editors genuinely use at home - the kitchen products we couldn't live without and the stylish accessories that make a space feel just right.

Buying clothes for someone else can feel risky, especially when it's your mum - but when you get it right, it's the gift that keeps on giving.

Our fashion team have tried on countless pieces to find the styles that are flattering and confidence boosting for every age and body type. From jeans that take years off to timeless wardrobe staples, these are fashion finds that impressed the best. 

No awkward fits or scratchy fabrics here - just the best jeans, winter coats and blouses chosen by our fashion experts.

If there is ever a time to treat her to a little pampering, this is it. Skincare and makeup can feel like a 'safe' option for a Mother's Day present but that's only if it's something she actually wants

Our picks below are the products we have tried, loved and recommended to friends. From glow boosting skincare for dry skin and hair heroes that tame frizz and add shine, these are products that will make any mum feel properly spoiled.

If there's one way to to guarantee disaster, it is picking a random, unverified item off the shelf. You've heard your mum likes bathroom goodies or perfume? Don't just grab the first thing you see in tesco.

Not all bath oils, washes and smellies are created equal. You're much better off doing your research first and in our opinion, spending a little more usually gets you a better product.

Also, make sure you know what types of fragrances and formulas your mum likes, rather than getting something you think is good. It's ok to ask her.

It might sound obvious, but you should also avoid anything that revolves around cleaning. Sure, maybe she'd like a nice vacuum but Mother's Day is not the time to buy her a gift that revolves around chores. Stick with gifts that revolve around pampering and hobbies like crafting, cooking and decorating.
