In 2020, we celebrated Mother's Day on 22nd March, a day later the UK went into a full lockdown. This year, on 14th March 2021, we will celebrate the first Mother's Day during a global pandemic, which has radically transformed our lives. In its modern form, Mother's Day has been celebrated for over 100 years - honouring the strength and resilience of all of the mums everywhere.
Of course, motherhood is filled with abundant joy, but as we are getting used to this new normal, many households are also faced with the aditional challenge of juggling working from home, homeschooling and maintaining the home all whilst trying to preserve a sense of normalcy and stability. That's why it is important, more now than ever, to show mum our love, gratitude and kindness.
Here is a list of 10 Quiet Mark certified gift ideas for a mum that deserves a bit of peace and quiet... and let's face it... that's all of them, isn't it?!

Hair dryer design hasn’t fundamentally changed since the 1960s. Most still use large, bulky motors that can only fit in the head of the machine. The Dyson Supersonic™ is different. It’s re-thought. It’s small yet powerful digital motor sits in the handle, completely changing the way it works.
A glass bead thermistor measures the air temperature 20 times per second, guarding against extreme heat damage to protect natural shine.
The heart of the machine is the small and powerful digital V9 motor for fast drying. Conventional motors can be slow as 12,000RPM. The Dyson V9 motor is fast, at 110,000RPM, moving 13L of air each second to create a controlled, high velocity airflow.
It’s engineered for balance, with a motor that sits in the handle, for a new kind of drying experience.
It’s acoustically tuned for conversation. The powerful motor is tuned to produce one inaudible frequency. And it’s enveloped by a vibration reduction system, further reducing the transfer of noise between the motor and the case.
