Mum’s home entertainment cave
Think of this as mum’s own media room where she gets full control of the TV remote to binge-watch Bridgerton (for the third time). She’ll appreciate the elegance of the super thin Samsung 55" The Frame 4K QLED Smart TV allowing you to match your TV to the aesthetic of your space as the TV transforms into a stunning piece of art when not in use. Is there space for a Omega 34 Bottle Freestanding Wine Cabinet, too? We know so. Top it off with great audio, courtesy of the JBL Go 4 Mini Bluetooth Speaker - Purple. With its sturdy waterproof and dustproof build, mum can take the speaker to the pool or beach without any concerns.

Mum’s workout cave
You don’t need a home gym to get mum’s heart pumping. An empty bedroom corner with the right fitness equipment will do the trick. Whether she’s a fitness fanatic or workout newbie, the BH Fitness NLS12 Program Elliptical is a must-have for her workout cave. Customise the machine to mum’s height and stride, so she can glide through a no-impact, high calorie-burning routine. Mum will also love a recovery tool, like the Homedics Pro Massage Gun, which has six massage heads for hitting the right spot. The Sony Premium Noise Cancelling Headphones are perfect for blasting her workout playlist and come in Silver and Black.

Mum’s chill-out cave
Every mum deserves a calm space to get centred, relax and take time out, so why not create a mum-only zen zone in the living room or a cosy corner in the study. The Ellia Pure Aroma Diffuser Ceramic & Terrazzo can transform any room into a beautifully scented relaxation haven. It’ll not only fill the space with mum’s favourite essential oils, but also up the ambience with a colour-changing light and a library of calming sounds. For a true spa-at-home experience, team it with the Homedics Shiatsu Bliss Foot Spa With Heat Boost, which keeps the water warm for 30, 60 or 90 minutes – plenty of time to try out its magnetic therapy, deep-tissue massage and vibration massage. Kick the chill-out vibes into overdrive with the Therabody Theragun Elite Black, so every inch is pampered.

Mum’s beauty cave
The best gift you can give mum is the time and space for some self-care. Finding the space is easy – there’s no reason her ensuite can’t moonlight as a home salon (aka beauty cave). As for time, the salon-grade VS Sassoon Super Power 2400 Hair Dryer will save her plenty. Its superpower is its super-fast drying time, even on thick hair. For styling, you can’t go past the Dyson Corrale Cordless Straightener. In true Dyson style, it can also operate cord-free for up to 30 minutes, making it great for throwing in her gym bag. For her skin, the Homedics 10 Litre Radiance Beauty Fridge allows for beauty on the go with house and car power adaptors.
