Letter from Farhi HQ

Welcome to the third issue of Sweet Talk. Our last issue brought you everything you needed for Valentine’s Day from luxury gifting to sweet surprises and in issue three we’re continuing to celebrate love with Mother’s Day. As spring finally unfurls and we bid goodbye to winter and say hello to warm, sunnier days, it’s time start thinking about what lies ahead, starting with Mother’s Day. This year, Mothering Sunday as it is also known falls on Sunday 27th March and not long after we celebrate the special women in our lives, comes Easter.

In this new issue of Sweet Talk, we explore the history behind Mother’s Day as well as the fascinating traditions from around the world. Looking for the perfect present to say thank you? We’ve also rounded up the ultimate in luxury gifting ideas to celebrate the special woman in your life. Whether she’s a mother, mother-in-law, grandma or mother figure - what better way to surprise her than with a luxury sweet gift from Rita Farhi?

Along with the arrival of Spring, not long after Mother’s Day comes the long Easter weekend, starting with Good Friday on April 15th. Whether you’re hosting a luxury Easter Egg hunt or looking for chocolate Easter alternatives, here at Rita Farhi we have everything you need to celebrate the holiday in style, from delicious sugar coated speckled eggs to cute vegan jelly carrot sweets. You can explore our full Easter range on pages 10-11.
