Which Mum is mine? – Gifts for Mum
When we hear the word ‘Mum’ we all think of our own mothers; we draw from our own experiences and whether we might call her ‘Mum’, ‘Mother’, ‘Mummy’, ‘Mom’ or ‘Mam’ the associations that come with the word are all similar. 
Mum, Mother, Mummy or Mam, give something back to the leading lady in your life.
That leading lady in your life is everything from the caring, loving and friendly mother who after any challenging day is still upbeat and gleeful to the nagging, annoying, angry, irritating, stressful mum who loves a bit of a conflict and that coat you slung over the sofa will need to be ‘TIDIED UP NOW!’ Or she might be frugal, sensible, educated or just downright hilarious. I am sure every single person reading this will have picked at least one word from the list above that describes their mother down to a tee. Here we describe the 7 typical mother types, their strengths, complexities, legacies and things that they love, so take a look to find out the answer to your question, ‘Which Mum is mine?’
