It’s coming up to that time of year again where we have the perfect opportunity to say thank you and show love to that special lady in our lives, yes it’s Mother’s Day. This year Mother’s Day falls on Sunday 10th March, so it’s time to get thinking about what gifts or surprises you can arrange to celebrate…
Give Her the Day Off
Sundays of course are a favourite for Sunday Dinner with the family, and often it is the lady of the house who does all the cooking. We suggest giving her the day off, by cooking the dinner for her, or treating her to a fabulous Sunday Dinner out at her favourite pub or restaurant.
Treat Mum to PiPii’s Palm Leaf Picnic Pack for 5 at £14.99 so she doesn’t have to do any washing up through the day either! Its even biodegradable, compostable or recyclable too.
Get Making
Sometimes the best gift ideas are not the things we buy, but we can instead put our time and effort into making something…
- Why not get baking and make some tasty cupcakes, brownies or a traditional Victoria sponge? Think about your mum’s favourite sweet treat and get baking. We love this perfect Victoria sandwich by our favourite baker Mary Berry.
- Instead of buying a box of chocolates for you mum, why not make your own chocolate truffles. This guide on BBC Good food makes it easy, with a video to illustrate the steps involved.
- You could also make your own teacup candles, as shown previously on our blog, created by Shelley from the Roman at Home team.
