Ways to Celebrate Mother's Day

Mother’s Day becomes increasingly difficult each year as you seem to run out of ideas. The normal response is a nice bouquet, chocolates or store brought jewellery. But on the day, you don’t have to spend a bomb to show your appreciation. With our guides to gifts, we won’t leave you short of new inspiring ideas to give your own personal twist to a gift.

1. Photo cube

Mums seem to love nothing more than a family photo together because there always seems to be no opportunity to do so. With a photo cube, you can place all your favourite memories together and include any new photos to the collection and by having a box it proves to be practical as well as sentimental.

2. Make your own bouquet

Every Mother’s Day it seems to be the ritual of the bouquet and chocolates to show our appreciation. Maybe it’s time to switch up the gift by making something she can keep. You can make or buy artificial flowers (if you aren’t crafty). You can decorate a mason jar to put the flowers in whether it’s just a few decorative rocks at the bottom or a tag simply saying Happy Mothers’ Day.

3. The restaurant experience in your own home

After all the home cooked meals your mum may have provided day after day, Mother's Day is the day to return the favour. Whether it is something simple as beans on toast or a lemon and herb salmon dish, your mum will be grateful for all the hard work and effort put in. If you are struggling for any recipe ideas check out our recipes page!

4. Personalised sweets jar

Instead of chocolates, sweets can make a great gift especially as they have a longer life expectancy. You can buy a mixture of sweets from a local store and make your mum, her very own pick and mix.

5. Make the gift an event

Still struggling with ideas? You can always take you mum to a small place, she has always wanted to go. Even if it is a local café for afternoon and a treat to look around the shops or take her somewhere that is special to her. It could even be a completely new experience and check local what’s on guides to see if anything could take her fancy. Making memories is always a precious gift which will never go unnoticed.
