With Mother’s Day around the corner, we’ve teamed up with BAFTA-winning actress and mum of five Daisy May Cooper to find out which gifts are on her wish-list this year.

Part of our exclusive John Lewis X Anine Cecilie Iversen collaboration, this butter dish is made from fine china and is inspired by Scandinavian gardens in bloom. As Daisy says, “This is what grown-up joy looks like. What could be better than buttering your toast without ripping a massive gaping hole in the middle of your bread? Beautiful and practical.”
