Great Ways to Thank Your Mum This Mother’s Day
She brought you into the world, took care of you and dealt with all your teenage angst and Mother’s Day on 10th March is the perfect time to show your appreciation of your dear Mum. Whether you prefer to buy a gift or provide an experience, we have some great ideas for you.
Experiences
This is one day in London never to be forgotten. The Shard, one of the tallest buildings in Europe, has recently opened its viewing decks to the public, offering an unbeatable, panoramic view of the city. Once you have travelled up in the kaleidoscope lifts and enjoyed the multi-sensory experience, you and your mum can both enjoy views of 40 miles in each direction. Just make sure she’s not afraid of heights! Tickets cost £24.95 per adult and £18.95 per child. Advance booking is essential.

If your mother hasn’t seen this phenomenally popular musical yet, tickets to the show in the Queen’s Theatre could make the perfect Mother’s Day gift. The stage adaptation of Victor Hugo’s novel has been enjoyed by over 60 million people worldwide to date and that many people cannot be wrong. Telling the story of a man’s life in 18th Century France, battling with the injustice and revolution of the time, the show is definitely a tear-jerker. Tickets cost from £20.

Michelin-Starred Restaurants
A meal in a Michelin-Starred restaurant is always a memorable experience and London has plenty to choose from, including Galvin at Windows, Dinner by Heston Blumenthal, Marcus Wareing at The Berkeley and Petrus.

Gifts
If you prefer to go down the route of buying your mother something she can keep, have a look at these for inspiration.
Klevercase Classic Book Cover for Kindle
It seems like almost everyone has a Kindle these days but there is something special about holding an actual book. These fantastic covers are a great compromise between the convenience of e-books and the prettiness of traditional books. Disguise your Kindle (or other tablet or e-reader) as Great Expectations, Peter Pan, Pride & Prejudice or various other titles for £24.95.
A tea spoon may seem like an odd gift but there is something very endearing about these personalised spoons from The Cutlery Commission. Use one of the listed Mother’s Day inscriptions or choose your own for a private joke which will bring a smile every time she makes a cuppa. Each item is custom made, the last date for placing your order will be 1st March.
This print by illustrator Ros Shiels is made up of food and cooking-related quotes which will ring a bell with many mums (and non-mothers too!). The typographic print will look great in any kitchen, particularly as it comes unframed so you can choose the perfect frame yourself. “She Who Cooks Never Cleans” is something of a rule in our house…
Of course there are always our gift vouchers for the perfectly unique gift…your Mum can use the time for ticking off any projects she would like started or finished. Anything from 1 – 100 hours, she has up to a year in which to use the time and take advantage of our experienced extra pair of helping hands.
