Perfect Mother's Day Gifts
Mother’s Day is the one day of the year when you need to pull out all the stops when it comes to gift-giving. This is your chance to say how much you care for your mother so make it special and, above all, make it personal. This gift, more than any other, needs to be more than just a present. It needs to express your emotion in the clearest possible way.
Mother’s Day Flowers
It’s easy enough to visit the florist and pick up a bunch of roses. Put a bit more thought into it and choose flowers carefully. If you don’t know what flower your mother likes best, pick something that has special memories that you have shared with her. Perhaps flowers that you helped her grow as a child, or the flowers she wore in a corsage at your wedding.
Send flowers with a personalised message from Serenata Flowers or Flower Station.
Jewellery for Mum
Jewellery needs to be selected with thought and sensitivity. Why not buy a pretty locket, and hunt out a couple of photographs of you with your mother, or family snaps, to put in the locket. Be sure of your mother’s preferences for jewellery. There’s no point buying gold if she only wears silver.
Make it personal with engraving and personalise your jewellery at The Jewel Hut.
Luxury Chocolate Gifts
Chocolates are always popular, but don’t settle for a box from your nearest store. Take the time to find an artisan selling hand-made chocolates, and have a box made up with your mother’s favourites.
Create your own gift hamper at Chocolate Trading Company or simply choose one of their ready made hampers or gift packs.
Mother’s Day Crafts
The best gifts of all are the ones you have spent time putting together. Find a nice vintage photo frame and put together a montage of photographs showing all the family. Or, if you can get hold of a photograph of your grandmother, have it framed up, to show respect for, and remembrance of, mothers past.
Photographs are great for using in hand-made cards too. Look round your local craft shop for card stock and embellishments. It doesn’t take long to make a professional looking card, and it will mean so much more to your mother, simply because you have put the time and effort into making it.
Make a card your mum will treasure with crafting essentials from Baker Ross.
How many times have you heard that it’s not the gift that matters, but the thought behind it? Mother’s Day is the one day of the year when these words should always guide your choices. Make it special, make it personal, and make your mother’s day.
