To Every Mum her own Dinner Set: Gift Ideas for Mother’s Day

As Mother’s day gets closer and closer, it is now time to choose a gift to show her your love.
The dilemma often is: “Should I go for a useful present or for a showy one?”. Our answer is: you don’t have to choose!
Let us suggest you several gift ideas for Mother’s day, each suitable for a particular “type” of mum.

Styles, shapes and materials differ, but there is something in common in all of our gift ideas: each is useful and beautiful at the same time. We propose you dishware, tableware and kitchenware that your mum will love for both their functionality and beauty.

The Classic Mum

Let’s start with some gift ideas for the mum who loves the always fashionable classic style. This mum loves to wear pump shoes, medium or high-heeled, as long as they are refined and with a hint of retrò; she likes her sheath dresses (never too short!), tailleurs and elegant silk blouses. Pearls are her favorite, but she does not disdain other jewelry, especially in the evening.
Her distinguished taste shows also at home: she is fond of ancient, precious furniture,  and high-quality ceramics.  In a classic mum’s home, stylish pieces are allowed, but there is no room for extravagance.

We propose you a selection of dinner sets ideal for the classic woman which are elegant, refined but never excessive.

The Modern Mum

Your mum is a 100% modern woman.  She loves the city life, she is more proficient than you with the computer and, rather than calling you, she will text you or message you with Twitter or Facebook.
She dresses in a colorful but sober and comfortable way: jeans, plain pants, flat shoes and sneakers and, only if she is in the mood, she shows off with high heels and more feminine dresses.
Never ever she would wear cameo brooches or have her hair backcombed!

Let us show you our gift ideas for women of all ages but with a modern and metropolitan heart; these dinner plates have a clean, fresh and contemporary look.

The Romantic Mum

Your mother is moved by a sunset, a pretty bunch of flowers or a romantic movie. She loves listening to the crackling of the fireplace while (re)reading a Jane Austen novel, and she takes her baths seriously with scented oils and candle light. She wears retrò dresses with pastel colors or flower motifs and, on the beach, what’s better than a large-brim straw hat?

Here are some dinner sets for the romantic woman that will please her dreamy soul.

The Zen Mum

Your mum is a fan of Oriental culture: she wakes up at 6 a.m. to practice Tai Chi in the fresh morning air; she eats sushi and noodles with chopsticks better than you do with a fork, she reads The art of war by Sun Tzu, Tokio Blues by Haruki Murakami and all the books by Banana Yoshimoto (even though now she is too commercial for her).
She adores the Oriental look, especially in the Japanese flavor: neat lines, neutral colors and natural materials. Even in the kitchen, the zen mother loves purity of forms and colors.

The Party Mum

Your mum loves going out and hanging out with friends. You would love to spend more time with her, but she is always busy with happy hours, theater or cinema. And when she is finally home, she invites her friends over for a dinner party.

Have a look at some suggestions for your party mum that will make her table shine.
