If we've proven anything during Women's History Month, it's that tools aren't just for men. (Seriously – just read our International Women's Day blog if you haven't already).

So, why not forgo the flowers and chocolates stereotype and grab your mother something practical for Mother's Day? Whether she's the go-to fixer in the house or a professional tradeswoman, show her just how much you love her with a gift from UK Planet Tools.

And if you're stuck on what to buy, not to worry – that's where we come in. We've listed 6 products that we think will make her day extra special (and you the favourite child). Okay, we can't promise that last part, but it's worth a try, eh?

1) TOUGH MASTER® Craft Line Paint Brush Set Professional Brushes with Natural Bristle - 3 Pieces (TM-PBW3)

If a nice bonding session is what you're after for Mother's Day, why not grab her some paintbrushes? Together, you can redecorate the walls just in time for Spring, livening up your (or her) household with a lovely bright colour while you chat to your heart's content. Alternatively, you can buy them for her to top up her stock if she's a painter/decorator. Basically, you can't go wrong with this simple, affordable gift idea.

There are many features of the TM-PBW3:

Premium materials: This paint brush set is of the best quality, with durable, long-lasting bristles that assure a smooth application and won't fall out as you brush
