When it comes to Mother's Day gifts, there's so much to choose from: with chocolates, cookbooks (opens in new tab), perfumes (opens in new tab) or - that mainstay of Mother's Day gifts - a bouquet of flowers (opens in new tab), all high up on the list.

19. Mini Massage Cushion
Treat her to an at-home massage whenever she likes. This mini massage cushion soothes away aches and pains with a rotational massage at four pressure points. There’s also an optional ‘heat’ mode for especially tense and sore muscles.
Selina Maycock, tested out the product for Goodto.com and was impressed. She said, “The mini massage certainly packs a punch when it comes to undoing the knots in your lower back area. Sitting down at a desk working most of the day is when the aches and cold starts to creep in. I plugged in the cushion and placed it on my chair in the lower back position and using the hand control I set the speed and heat setting. The infra-red will warm the skin area, while the cushioned mechanics get to work while you work. Not only is the device relaxing and time-saving, but it’s also an instant mood booster. After 15 minutes, my tight muscles felt eased. And I popped it on again at the end of the working day for relief before making a start on dinner. There’s no need to wait for your other half to get home or to shell out £60 an hour on a back massage. Perfect for pampering on a budget.
