Hello everyone,
Just a quick reminder for you all, on Sunday it's Mothering Sunday!!! Yeah, you didn't remember right!! Well I'm here to help you out, I've been thinking what to get my own mum for the day, so thought I'd share with you some gifts.
Flowers Always Work -
Well lets say it... I'm biased as I work in the trade, but flowers are beautiful and whats better than giving them to your beautiful Mum right? You can choose flowers or colours that your mother prefers, there are plenty to choose from online, but to make the best of your present to your mum, you should visit your local florist...These are the people who KNOW about flowers, they will be able to help you, work with the price range you have, add that part your mum would love. A florists will also have plenty for you to choose from to make sure its perfect for your mum!
Here's two designs from Interflora to get you thinking:
Mothers Day Basket - From £29.99
Includes Roses and Carnations
Mothers Day Tea Cup Saucer Arrangement - Starts from £34.99
Includes Roses, Freesia and Germini.
Take Your Mum Out -
The whole point of Mothers day is to remember your mum, your the person who is like a mother to you, and what better way to show them how much you love them than going out with them for the day. How about taking her out for afternoon tea!
Here's a quote I found about where afternoon tea came from:
"Tea consumption increased dramatically during the early nineteenth century and it is around this time that Anna, the 7th Duchess of Bedford is said to have complained of "having that sinking feeling" during the late afternoon to her butler. At the time it was usual for people to take only two main meals a day, breakfast, and dinner at around 8 o'clock in the evening. The solution for the Duchess was a pot of tea and a light snack, taken privately in her boudoir during the afternoon.
Later friends were invited to join her in her rooms at Woburn Abbey and this summer practice proved so popular that the Duchess continued it when she returned to London, sending cards to her friends asking them to join her for tea and a walk in the fields."
You can search the web to find your local place, many hotels offer this, most prices range between £8 - £15, you can get a selection of cakes and mini sandwiches. It will make a lovely day, which I'm sure your mum will love!
Make a Hamper
Collect a few items together such as ranges of food and drinks - Like chocolates, jams, honey, tea and a bottle of wine, grab a box, wrap your box in a nice paper, add all your items, place a bow on top and
you've got your own gift box made with your own mum in mind. You could create a great pamper box with bath bombs, shower gels, face masks and other pampering items, tell your mum to relax. Or even a beautiful fruit basket (As many people are trying to be healthy). You can buy many different hampers online if you haven't got time to get all the items, but also many of the companies deliver to your mothers door too!
I found this picture on line, but it gives you an idea.
Create a Homemade gift
Who know your mother better than YOU! You can make an item just for your mum, and if you are short of money this is the perfect answer. There are many things your can make, from cakes, dinner, ornaments or even a voucher book, where you give a list of jobs you can do for your mum that she can use at anytime.
I hope I've been of some help and got your thinking ready for Mothers day as its only days away.
Love Lolly
xoxo
