Mother’s Day is a time to celebrate the women who raised us, nurtured us, and continue to inspire us every day. If you’re looking for a gift that’s thoughtful, beautifully crafted, and timeless, look no further. At Forge de Laguiole, we offer more than just exquisite cutlery and accessories — we offer heirloom pieces, made in France, that your mum will treasure for years to come.
Whether she loves to entertain, sip wine, perfect her grazing boards, or tee off on the golf course, we’ve curated a gift guide with her in mind.
Why Choose Forge de Laguiole for Mother’s Day?
Before we get into the gift ideas, here’s why Forge de Laguiole is so special.
Our pieces are handcrafted in the historic village of Laguiole in southern France, using time-honoured techniques and the finest materials. Every knife, corkscrew, and carving set reflects a legacy of craftsmanship, tradition, and timeless French elegance.
With each Forge de Laguiole product, you’re not just giving a gift — you’re giving a story, a piece of history, and something your mum will truly appreciate.
1. Cheese Sets – For the Grazing Board Queen
Does your mum love creating stunning charcuterie or cheese boards? Then a Forge de Laguiole cheese set is the perfect gift.
Our cheese knives are beautifully balanced, razor-sharp, and available in a range of handle materials including olive wood, horn, and precious woods. Each set includes different blades for soft and hard cheeses, ensuring both function and flair.
💸 Price Range: $250 – $670
🎁 Best for: Mums who love to host or style the perfect grazing platter.
2. Cutlery Sets – Everyday Elegance or Full Table Luxe
Forge de Laguiole cutlery is where French tradition meets everyday luxury. These aren’t just knives and forks — they’re pieces of art designed for daily rituals and special moments alike.
Choose from a 6-piece knife set or a full 24-piece table setting for the entertainer mum. With options in stainless steel, olivewood, horn, and other high-end materials, there’s a set to suit every taste and table.
💸 Price Range: $880 – $5,235
🎁 Best for: Mums who love hosting, tablescapes, or simply appreciate fine dining.
3. Corkscrews – For the Wine-Loving Mum
Our handcrafted sommelier knives (waiter’s corkscrews) are a tribute to French wine culture — sleek, practical, and artisan-made. Every Forge de Laguiole corkscrew is assembled by a single artisan and combines high-quality steel with natural handles like juniper, ebony, and horn. Choose additional options like a Damascus Steel blade or personalised engraving for a more personal touch.
If your mum enjoys a good Pinot or a crisp rosé, this is the wine accessory she didn’t know she needed.
💸 Price Range: $390 – $1,540
🎁 Best for: Mums who enjoy wine, host tastings, or collect unique bar tools.
4. Carving Sets – For the Sunday Roast Hero
There’s something timeless about a roast dinner, and Forge de Laguiole carving sets are designed to elevate the tradition.
These two-piece sets include a razor-sharp carving knife and a matching fork, perfect for roasts, holiday feasts, or even barbecues. A beautiful and practical heirloom that mum will reach for time and again.
💸 Price Range: $370 – $2,240
🎁 Best for: Mums who love cooking, slow Sundays, and creating family traditions.
5. Golf Divot Tool – For the Mum Who Tees Off in Style
A little unexpected, a lot elegant. The Forge de Laguiole golf divot tool is a unique gift for any golf-loving mum. Made with the same precision as our knives, it’s available in light or dark horn.
💸 Price: $335
🎁 Best for: Mums who golf and appreciate bespoke, functional accessories.
