BOUX PRESENTS: CHRISTMAS GIFT IDEAS FOR MUM
If there’s anyone we want to show appreciation for during the holidays, it’s mum. But what to get Mum for Christmas is a holiday mystery that leaves most of us hanging awkwardly by the toiletries department. Step. Away. From. The. Bath. Bombs.
At Boux we’ve curated our festive collections to hand-pick the best Christmas presents for mum, so you can show your love and appreciation and add a welcome element of surprise to her Christmas morning spoils.
From nightwear to indulgent dressing gowns and thoughtful slippers, there’s something for every-mum. We’re thrilled you’re starting here (and she will be, too).
FESTIVE FANATIC? CHRISTMAS GIFTS FOR MUMS WHO LOVE CHRISTMAS
Mums never cringe over a well-executed gifting theme. Why? Because it shows thought and consideration, which is exactly what she cherishes most from her family. We don’t mind if you borrow some of that consideration from us, because here at Boux we’ve already put in plenty of festive-themed ‘what to get Mum for Christmas’ groundwork…
There’s pyjamas, then there’s pyjama sets with matching accessories. On the warmest, cosiest end of the spectrum, our Robin fleece pyjamas in a bag and matching Robin socks in a bag will bring her plenty of Christmas cheer. Both come in pretty self-printed storage bags she’ll love for storing small items; they’re especially ideal for travel.
Mums with a sweet tooth may be especially sweet on our Pudding fleece pyjamas in a bag and coordinating Pudding socks in a bag, or give her some mix-and-match versatility with our 2 pack pudding socks in two colourways.
For the mums whose favourite part of Christmas is the gifting, make the many years of presents count with our Present fleece pyjamas in a bag and super plush Present cosy socks to match. It’s a thoughtful way to say “that’s a wrap”, now put your feet up, Mum.
Speaking of festive feet, a novelty slipper delivers even more love and value when paired with coordinating accessories. Pair these Reindeer mule slippers with a Fluffy reindeer eyemask and encourage her to take a well-deserved lie-in (in lieu of all the mornings you crashed her bed at 5AM to get the festivities started).
If she’s an animal lover, let her embrace her cuddly marsupial spirit in the Fluffy koala short dressing gown with two-tone styling and a cute character hood. She’ll love the reference to her years of carrying you on hip, and you can enrich the theme with the Koala short pyjama set (she’ll appreciate they’re pyjamas, but not strictly ‘mum pyjamas’), and Koala mule slippers.
If her favourite movie is Love Actually - and not just during the holidays - then it’s safe to say she’s the most fanatic of the Christmas fanatics. Enter Fairisle: the festive print that truly stacks the holiday decks in her favour. Whether she’s a Fairisle hooded onesie enthusiast or prefers separates like our Fairisle wrap top and leggings pyjama set, she’ll love coordinating with seasonal toes courtesy our 2 pack reindeer fairisle socks.
MORE PYJAMA PRESENTS FOR MUM
If your Mum likes Christmas, but doesn’t love it enough to wear Christmas themed everything, go for luxury pyjamas that outlast the season and make for welcome presents under the tree.
Share the love, wear the love, with our Ditsy heart ruched twosie pyjama set. We love the modern updates to classic pyjama styling, like the adjustable sides for a more tailored silhouette. If you’re buying on behalf of a younger daughter, Mum will love sharing the moment when her little one joins her in our matching Kids heart print twosie pyjama set.
For a warm but light pyjama set that’s versatile for cooler and milder days alike, the Heart fleece short pyjamas in a bag is another way to showcase your love. The button-up short-sleeve reverse top looks smart enough to justify getting into pyjamas hours earlier than bedtime (as if she needs any justification).
If a classic long-sleeved, full-length pyjama set is more likely to appeal, tell her she’s a star with our Star fleece pyjamas in a bag. We love the unexpected cobalt blue and all-over pink print with contrast piping: a definitive upgrade for mum’s PJ drawer.
That standout contrast stripe is also available in our signature Borg fabric: trendy mums will adore the Frosted borg short pyjama set. While there’s no doubt the fabric is warm enough to make up for shorts vs trousers, ensure her toes are warm with Borg stripe cross band slider slippers in an elegant shade of oatmeal.
Of course, Mum’s preferred form of luxury may be a fluff-free alternative: enter satin pyjamas. We have a number of satin nightwear pieces that make perfect Christmas gifts for mum. Is there anything more elegant than emerald? We can confirm, there’s not. Which is why Mum will love the Amelia satin pyjama set in the season’s most sophisticated shade.
Keeping up with the jewel tones, there’s also the Stripe satin pyjama trousers and matching Stripe satin reverse pyjama top in navy. Both are made for melting into the liquid satin fabric, and the latter has mix-and-match versatility with the likes of a Stripe satin cami pyjama top you can swap in for the long-sleeved shirt.
Fluffy soft, satin soft… did we miss anything? In fact, we did! Velour fabric makes our Foil star and moon velour pyjama set stand out with its soft yet smooth feel on skin, and sparkling nighttime print that shines like the North star (a guiding light, much like Mum).
DRESSING GOWN PRESENTS TO WARM MUM'S HEART
We know it’s hard to get sufficient hugs in as we get older, but mums will never stop wanting them. In their place, a cosy dressing gown makes a welcome substitute - especially when it’s from her favourite daughter (you, obviously).
For mums who manage to move with the times, you may want to replace the traditional dressing gown with our Fluffy heart oversized cosy hoodie. She can wear it with leggings to pop to the shops, or mooch around the house to her heart’s content.
We have other pullover dressing gown alternatives to accommodate every mum’s style, like the shiny charcoal (much better than a lump of coal) mid-length Fluffy oversized cosy hoodie. It features a kangaroo pocket to keep her hands warm, as does its longer-length sister Fluffy oversized cosy hoodie, which lends itself to the currently in vogue parka vibe.
You can play it safe with a traditional dressing gown, but Boux still loves to sprinkle in some modern updates Mum will appreciate. Like the all-over sparkle design on our super plush Fluffy sparkle midi dressing gown, the chevron stripe and fur cuffs of the Fluffy chevron long dressing gown, the super chic two-tone accents of the Fluffy plush long dressing gown and the muted animal print featured on our Fluffy animal long dressing gown.
If Mum’s been catching up on Netflix’s Beckham documentary, she might appreciate a 90s throwback (perhaps she shares VB’s love of an LBD) with the Fluffy stripe cut short dressing gown. It’s chic, fashionable and everything she doesn’t expect from a ‘mum dressing gown’ (aside from its melt-into-me plush fabric, of course). This shorter style also comes in a more feminine pink: the Fluffy star and moon short dressing gown is a gorgeous way to say “love you to the moon and back”.
If she’s not really the type to lounge in a bathrobe, our Maya ribbed robe is a cardigan-robe fusion that she’ll wear out of the house as much as she does in the house. Perfect for mums who never stop moving. We love the waist belt and hood to alter its silhouette for every occasion. Add a pair of Sparkle chenille knit mule slippers in a complementary neutral to remind her that it is OK to sit still once in a while.
CHRISTMAS ACCESSORIES FOR MUM
Whether you want to make sure Mum’s stocking is just as full as everybody else’s this year, or simply feel that your main gift needs a little something extra to make Mum feel suitably extra, Boux has just the accessory for the occasion.
Available in three colour palettes from neutral oatmeal to neon yellow, we love that you can match the Ridge sole cross band slider slippers to your mum’s personality.
If her idea of statement style is less bold colour, more added sparkle, then the Embellished slider slippers or Sequin mule slippers will add a festive twinkle to her Christmas morning. And if there are many sides to her personality, let them all come through in our quirky Contrast twisted slider slippers.
Splurged on one of our Borg pyjamas or loungewear sets? Complete her personal collection with our fluffiest slippers yet and choose between the understated-chic Borg stripe cross band slider slippers and (not-so-understated) chic Borg heart mule slippers.
Much like slippers, cosy socks are among the feet-treating indulgences she’ll never gift herself. Make sure she’s ready to relax with Velvet fleece socks in white, red or pink, or our printed two-tone Heart cosy socks. Or give her the choice and treat her to her very own twinkly toes with our 2 pack glitter star cosy socks.
Finally, if the day she last tucked you into bed feels like ancient history, know that it feels like yesterday to her. Give her that nostalgic feeling with the Soft heart blanket - a perfect quilt to wrap up in or use as a bed throw during the winter months. Our Carved star fluffy blanket also has two reversible sides, making it a great choice for a chair or sofa throw that suits nearly every room.
Remember how she can never get enough hugs? Stay with her even when you’re not, by adding the Fluffy heart hot water bottle to your basket (and her thoughtfully curated Christmas gift) as a final, loving garnish.
