Baked In cookie heart bundle

• Available from Baked In (£17.50)

This sweet gift set is a fun Mother’s Day activity for families with young children. The bundle comes with a large jar of Baked In cookie mixture, a 20cm heart-shaped cake tin and a tube of ‘twisty frosting’ ready to decorate the cookie to your heart’s content. The cookie is available in three flavours – triple chocolate, milk chocolate or oatmeal and raisin: we tested the milk chocolate and enjoyed a super fudgy cookie with rich brown sugar flavour and crispy edges. The jar makes enough dough for one heart cookie and eight extra cookies (we put the dough in the freezer). Get baking with the kids ready to present to Mum or Grandma.

Nc’nean organic single malt scotch whisky

• Available from Master of Malt (£46.94, includes 2 beeswax candles), The Whisky Exchange (£46.95, includes 2 beeswax candles), Amazon (£57.48)

Buying for a whisky fan? This single malt, made from organic Scottish barley, has a lovely richness and depth of flavour that’s unusual for such a young spirit. It’s deliciously smooth and clean, with light citrus notes, peachy overtones, a touch of spice and a subtle sweetness which comes from having been matured first in ex-bourbon, then in ex-red wine barrels. For more whiskey reviews, check out our guide to the best whiskies to buy as gifts.
