Phone mum

Mum’s mug
- Ember smart mug, £99.99 from Lakeland – buy now
Is your mum always forgetting her brew, reheating it in the microwave and forgetting it again?
This will let her know when it’s cooled to her perfect temperature.
It syncs with phone to alert her to the heat level – and also tells her how much is left.
Keep mum on track
- Tile Bluetooth tracker, pack of four, £19.97 from Currys – buy now

Give mum a squeeze
- Lakeland Electric Citrus Juicer, £19.99 from Lakeland – buy now
What is better to wake up to than a glass of freshly squeezed OJ?

Make mum melt
- The Velvetiser Hot Chocolate Maker, £99.95 (chocolate sold separately) from Hotel Chocolat – buy now
Pour in cold milk, add the official chocolate shavings or break up a bar — and this heats and whisks them into a frothy hot chocolate.
And it comes with two cups — one for mum and one for you.
Alexa, tell mum I love her
- Amazon Echo Dot with clock, £59.99 from Amazon – buy now
Mum’s very own virtual assistant to play her favourite songs and podcasts — or let her know what the weather is.

Coffee for days
