You’re excited to celebrate Mother’s Day on Sunday – while you’re looking forward to receiving that handmade card and breakfast in bed, you’re also secretly hoping for a gorgeous gift. Something in another league – truly aspirational. (Go on, admit it.) In all the excitement of being a mum, don’t forget your own mum. What are YOU going to give her? Smelly soap? A toiletry bag? Will it be (another) mad dash for a bunch of flowers and some choccies. *Yawn.*

Forget the predictable (and the aspirational). It’s time to get unusually inspirational.

Inspire your mum by giving her a gift that can make a real difference to the lives of mothers and children in the developing world. Choose a life-saving, life-changing UNICEF Inspired Gift, like sponsoring measles vaccines for 50 children (a measly £12) or blankets for 10 babies (a snug £20). All come in a gift box and are available for the first time exclusively at Selfridges.

What Mini says:

I don’t yet know how to spell philanthropist, but that’s my ASPIRATION!
