Here are some great gift suggestions for all the mums who pride themselves on being, well...not ya average Ma!

Boden spotty cashmere jumper, $240

Every mum loves a nice bit of cashmere – pity most of the stuff on offer is stuffy and stitched-up. Not this gorgeous spotty jumper from Boden. Not only is it made with cashmere sourced from inner-Mongolia (that’s the good quality stuff), it’s also manufactured to be machine-washable. We’re in love.

Cool coffee cup, $16

The new Jacob’s Creek Better By Half range is half the calories and half the alcohol of similar wines – that’s 5.5% and 36 calories per 100ml glass – which is a winner in our eyes. If your mum is all about moderation but still loves a sneaky glass of wine, this gift might just put you in her good books. Available from Liquorland and First Choice.
