Right. That’s the food taken care of. But we still need a gift — and not just any old thing.

This Mother’s Day, why not spoil the old girl rotten with a bit of luxury from our boutiques at The Royal Exchange? Whether it’s jewellery, perfume, or other accessories — this is the best stuff money can buy. And doesn’t she deserve it? 

Boodles’ special collection of Mother’s Day jewellery is the perfect way to show your appreciation. Fitted with rare, sought-after gemstones or dazzling, bright diamonds, these necklaces, rings, bracelets and earrings are stunning works of craftsmanship that will last a lifetime — just like a mother’s love. 

For something seasonal, Jo Malone London has recently released its limited-edition Blossoms collection. This imagines a city of fragrance — with both hustling, bustling centres and quiet green spaces — all filled with the scent of blossom, branch and evergreen. Springtime notes for a fresh, modern perfume: perfect for welcoming back the sun. 

Or maybe she’s chasing it? For those mums with wanderlust (or just a trip planned), Tumi’s 19 Degree collection offers the perfect companion for a holiday escape. And you can feel good about it too — the brand has teamed up with charity “1% For The Planet,” where 1% of proceeds from this collection will go towards “Waves for Water,” a scheme providing clean water for those without access to it. 

Over at Montblanc, you can find a gift “for the woman who thinks of it all.” Whether, that’s the world’s finest writing gear — fountain pens and chic notebooks — or luxurious artisanal leatherwork, it’s guaranteed to spell something a bit different.
