I do love a bit of shopping! Here are five picks for perfect presents for mum:
Hands that do dishes…
…and nappy changes, more dishes, lunch preparation, more dishes…our hands take a bashing every day so treat your Mum’s to a luxurious hand cream to restore the damage that real life throws at it! This Velvet Hands Repair Cream by Boo Boo is packed full of natural ingredients and I love the gorgeously retro styling of the packaging. £11.99, www.naturalbabyshower.co.uk
Say it with flowers
No Mother’s Day would be complete without some beautiful blooms. Give something that will last with this dainty English Rose necklace by Kit Heath. £55, Kit Heath
A Grand Old Lady
No shopping mission would be complete without splashing out! If you’re feeling extra nice (and generous) wow your mum by presenting her with her very own bottle of Veuve Clicquot La Grand Dame Champagne. Well if it’s good enough for Mme. Clicquot herself… £130, Selfridges
Spoil Me
Why let Mum have all the fun? Enjoy a girly evening of pampering together over a glass of wine and a treatment in the tranquil surroundings of Champneys Day Spa. Monday 11th March 2013 at all Champneys Day Spas (seven UK locations) and an extra date of 12th March 2013 at St Albans. £15 per person, Champneys
Last but not least
Of course there are only two more shopping days left until Mother’s Day (or two and a half if you’ve dashed away from the office early tonight and hit the shops already) but that doesn’t mean you need to resort to a tired bouquet courtesy of your local garage forecourt. The high street still has plenty of inspiration, especially at failsafe department stores, like this super stylish nail polish set from Nails Inc. Around £20, Debenhams
