Mum’s the word right now as we prepare to mark Mother’s Day. Next Sunday 1th March gives us a chance to thoroughly spoil mums. We've put together an edit of thoughtful gifts to help inspire you.
For a personal touch choose a beautiful Emma Bridgewater cup decorated with 'Mum', which will make her feel special every time tea is served. Indulge her senses with a luxury Neom beauty set, sure to leave mum feeling zen. Saying it with flowers may be slightly cliché, but you really can’t beat a fragrant bouquet of fresh blooms to raise a smile - especially the beautifully scented lavender bouquet we've chosen.
