If your Mum loves cooking (and I mean REALLY loves cooking – not just tolerates it to feed you and your family) then why not treat her to some really top of the range kitchen pans? I know my husband always swore he would never buy me kitchen stuff, as felt it was a nessecity. I was gutted! He soon saw that my folks and loved ones, often get me posh pans and how happy they made me. I guarentee there are many others like me who full appreciate this gift. So, what are my absolute favourites? I adore the two pan frying pan set from Padova. It is £125 but is incredible quality and will hopefully last me forever.

 

I am also obsessed with my pans from Staub. My Nana has some that she has had forever and I really hope that they will one day be passed down. The quality is absolutely incredible and absolutely anything in their cast iron range makes an incredible (and generous) gift that will last forever.
