Twelve top ideas to put a smile on your mum’s face…

Fresh flowers
Nothing says ‘I love you Mum’ like a beautiful bouquet of flowers. We have some talented florists in our area who will make up a bespoke floral collection.
A magazine subscription
A gift that lasts all year round and gives you a wealth of choice. Pick a title you know she loves – or find an inspirational one that could introduce her to a new interest, or even keep her going on a New Year’s Resolution.
A photo shoot
Treat mum to a session with a local photographer for a family photo with her favourite child (that’s you!) Brothers and sisters and grandchildren could be included too.
A fancy frame
For the glamorous photo you took of her last summer, a special card or document, or choose a gorgeous print by a local artist.
Quality time
How about a pamper session for you and mum to enjoy together? It doesn’t have to be a full-blown spa day (although that would earn you many Brownie points!) a manicure followed by a glass of something nice at your favourite local pub could work.
Something sparkly
What mum wouldn’t like a nice piece of jewellery? Pick something pretty you know she’d like or buy a gift voucher and go along to help her choose. We’ve got some fab jewellery shops in our local towns so you might find a unique piece.
A meal out
This would be a welcome treat on Mothering Sunday. Be sure to plan ahead though as the best venues will be booked up well in advance.
Learn together
Why not book the two of you onto a local one day course or craft workshop? It’ll be a good time to bond and potentially discover some shared talents!
Cakes and chocolates
A no brainer, right? Bake or make your own (there’s plenty of time for a few practice bakes), or look locally for something a bit different – you could even get your cake personalised.
A good book
A romantic fictional tale to get lost in, or a pageturner thriller she won’t want to put down – the choice is yours.
A great day out
Lots of options locally to enjoy exploring; an interesting stately home, an attractive garden, or grounds – and finish in a tea shop! You might want to cut straight to the tea shop (we’ve got lots of those locally!) or make a garden centre the focus of your day – the best ones sell drinks and cake too after all!
Tickets for something to look forward to
A trip to the theatre, a comedy, a musical performance, a film… the options are endless. We’re lucky to have so much talent and choice on our doorstep.
TOP TIP If mum has a cat, it is essential that your bouquet does NOT contain lilies as these are extremely poisonous to cats.
