Imagine the scene- the day is fast approaching, you’ve been the busiest bee to have ever lived at work and those creative juices just aren’t flowing. YOU. HAVE. NO. IDEA. WHAT TO GET. Here’s our get out of jail free card to Mother’s Day shopping. These ideas are sure to get you a whole bunch of brownie points.
1. Get something that’ll last!
Avoid the chocolate and flowers this year. Get something less perishable, something that will withstand the withering passage of time and become a dear keepsake. This can’t be just anything, a random piece of jewellery won’t cut it, you need to choose something specific. Which leads on to the next point...

4. Reference a recent conversation!
Has your mum mentioned a book she’s really enjoying recently, or perhaps a TV show that’s thoroughly engrossed her? Maybe she’s just started to hit the gym or.. indulging in more chocolate. Show her that you’re paying attention with this years gift.

5. Get something funny!
With so much mushiness going on around on the big day, a little humour will be a welcome relief. Not everything has to be an overblown display of affection. Maybe she really dislikes doing all the washing up, or regularly sets fire to dinner. Get something that’ll make her smile.
