Shopping for your mom in London
Good places to browse in London include Covent Garden, Marylebone High Street, Liberty and, on Sundays, the Columbia Road Flower Market.
The Tube and buses make a lunch-break shopping trip easy, and same-day delivery covers the centre, so a late gift is still possible.
Buying for your mom
Think about her routines: what she does in the morning, what she watches, what she keeps meaning to try. A gift that supports one of those lands well.
Photos of the family, framed or printed, almost always work.
If you are shopping at the last minute
New Year gifts can be small and still feel considered. Spa vouchers, breakfast deliveries and a personalized game arrive fast, and an oin game is usually emailed within an hour of payment.
Keep it light. After the holidays a small, thoughtful gift is more welcome than a large one.
A gift that does not depend on London
Shops in London cannot sell this one: a pixel game with her as the hero, two letters from you and a quiz about your shared memories. It is emailed, usually within an hour. The final level is set in Almaty today, with New York and Tokyo coming soon.
