With Mother’s Day fast approaching (in the UK it’s March 30th, in the US you’ve till May 11th), let’s take a quick look at some gift ideas.
Lucky Figural Mug 101 Dalmatians
The Disney Store is always a reliable source of weird and wonderful things. Not only is the Lucky mug from 101 Dalmatians rather cute, but it’s also hilariously odd. Who doesn’t want to drink from the head of a puppy?
‘Mother of the Empire’ Ltd Ed. Hard Iced Tea Gift Pack
Yes, that’s a Stormtrooper dressed as Queen Victoria. Yes, it’s entirely a pun. Sci-Fi fans notoriously like a good drink, and those fine folk at Stormtrooper have produced a light, lemon-ish ale. The gift pack comes with a chalice-style glass, making it the Holy Grail of geek gifts.
Canal Toys Photo Creator Instant Camera
Canal Toys comes up with cheap and cheerful toys, mostly marketed at teens, but they’re fun for all their family. Their Photo Creator Instant Camera takes photos and prints them out on thermal paper. Pick up some sticker rolls for extra fun, which is perfect for making that Sunday meal memorable.
For the spookier mums out there, you can’t go wrong with a classic spooky board game with a bit of back-stabbing. Monopoly meets The Traitors by way of Halloween in this classic horror-themed game, now in a shiny new edition.
And finally, rather than taking your Mother to go see a movie about Snow White, get her a classic Terry Gilliam movie. Everybody loves Time Bandits, yes?
