Short answer: For a gift your mum or mother-in-law will actually wear, go cosy and easy: a long knit cardigan, a soft viscose nightshirt or a warm pyjama set. Callista designs and makes all of these in Egypt, in S to 2XL or free size, with delivery to every governorate and cash on delivery inside Egypt.
The rule: give her comfort she'd never buy herself
Mums (and mothers-in-law) have enough mugs. The gifts that get worn are the soft, practical ones that still feel a little special: a long cardigan for chilly evenings, a nightshirt for slow mornings, a pyjama set that looks put-together. Here are the Callista pieces that fit, all designed and made in Egypt.

FAQ
What's a safe gift if I don't know her size?
Go free size: the Folk Long Cardigan and the Corazon de jaguar Cardigan are both free size. A printed square scarf, like the Bold Pattern Soft Intentions Scarf (90 x 90 cm), needs no size at all.
What's the warmest gift for an Egyptian winter?
A tricot knit cardigan, such as the Folk Long Cardigan or Corazon de jaguar Cardigan (100% acrylic), or the Velvet Gulzar Pyjama in velvet-touch polyester that feels soft and warm.

Mother's Day in Egypt is on 21 March every year. For winter birthdays, Christmas or New Year, the same cosy picks work just as well.
