Hopefully this won’t come as a shock,
but today it is exactly one week till Mother’s day if you are in the UK.
My mum is a great women, who I truly
love and respect, and while I should show her my appreciation everyday,
Mother’s day is the day I try my best to pamper her, and express how much I
love her.My mum isn’t too bothered about
mountains of gifts; she’s much more an experience and memories person, which is
why for Mothers day I try to create a day doing all the things she loves.
So I’ve created a gift guide that helps
create a sense of occasion for your mum.
When my mum wakes up, I like to pounce
on her (usually before she’s actually fully awake to be honest) with a big
bunch of flowers. Interflora- the home
of flowers, are doing some great flowers for Mothers day. These I just thought
were so bright and cheerful, it would make my mum smile from ear to ear.

Who doesn’t love breakfast in bed? The
first thing I always do is treat my mum to breakfast in bed. Asda are doing these amazing heart
shaped crumpets at the moment, which would be perfect with a jam and butter. If
you have a hard time saying how much you love your mum, well let the food do
the talking!
In the afternoon, I usually like to do
Afternoon tea. For tea, there is no one better than
Wittard.
Now of course everyone knows Afternoon is
really about the treats. While traditionally its scones and cream, macarons are
the in thing of the moment. And let’s be honest, they are so heavenly.
Also I think sharing is an excellent
bonding experience, and combine it with chocolate and well! Mother-Daughter
relationship is solid! Plus a few giggles over dripped chocolate wouldn’t hurt
anyone (I tell you, if they did chocolate dipping as team building games at work
instead of those silly giant Jenga games, then our boardrooms would be so much
more productive!)
Now we have to be traditional in
Afternoon tea sometimes, which I’m not complaining when it means cake. And what
better than a giant version of the mothers classic Custard cream
If after all that you can fit anymore in, then maybe, just maybe, we should include some savoury, you know, for health reasons...
Finally,
even though I said my mum is not massive on gifts, I always have to include
something. So a nice pampering gift set, so she can have a hot soak is always nice
way to finish off the day.
So go
on this 10th March and spoil your mum rotten. She deserves it.
I’d
love to know what you are planning. Let me know below.


Lovely post! Really helpful.
ReplyDeleteYou once commented on my blog asking me about an Iphone case and I finally got it! The quality is great, the picture is good, the case doesn't snap or anything like that so I think it's worth the money. But I'm holding a giveaway on it over on my blog if your interested on a free iphone case, check it out if you'd like! <3

We are so close to our mom as well and love to celebrate her by taking her out to tea. We love the one at the Huntington Library Rose Garden Tea Room in Pasadena, CA. It is a buffet and the scones are DIVINE! Love the lush products as well...my mom's favorite is ocean salt.
