Strange to think that last Mother’s Day fell just days before the world imploded as we know it and we went into our first lockdown. We know this year will be more poignant than ever as many will still be separated, but with light at the end of the tunnel it’s not too long until we can all be reunited.
If however you are still separated from your Mum this year and fancy treating to something more than the multipack of Crunchies mine will be getting, we’ve rounded up a few treats to put a smile on her face until you can meet again.
Elevate Cocktail Hour
Almost too chic to drink, give her cocktails a boost with this delectable looking spirit. First created in 1785 in The Kingdom of Prussia Lanique's unique taste of rose has been enjoyed for over 200 years, throughout European aristocracy by kings, queens and emperors. £29, 70cl www.lanique.co.uk
Treat Her To A Spa Session
We’re obviously not the only ones counting down until spas reopen. With vouchers from SpaBreaks.com valid at over 300 spas around the country and valid for 12 months she will be spoilt for choice, from spa days to weekend breaks.
An Accessories Upgrade
Radley can always be relied upon for a chic handbag or two and when we’re allowed out of the house again everything, EVERYTHING will be a catwalk. While there are some gorgeous new pieces decorated with delicate floral embroidery, our money is on the dreamy Manor Grove cross body bag (£111 at www.radley.co.uk), the perfect little number for summer outfits. Though given it’s available in a plethora of shades from this pale grey to a dreamy dusky pink and a rather lovely kale green, one might not be enough…
Give the Gift of Great Skin
Clinique is always a winner for gifting, whatever the occasion, so their range of Mother’s Day gift sets is definitely worth a look in. We’re already big fans of the Moisture Surge Intense 72H Lipid-Replenishing Hydrator (see our post from a few weeks ago for what a winter skin lifesaver it’s been), so this triple threat gift set featuring this alongside the Moisture Surge Overnight Mask and Moisture Surge Eye is an irresistible purchase. £38 from www.clinique.co.uk
The Perfect Mother’s Day Hamper
If you fancy spoiling her silly, you can’t beat a Fortnum & Mason hamper. The Spring Hamper, £200, is packed full of utterly delectable treats, from savoury snacks to tooth-tinglingly sweet nibbles. From Welsh Rarebit Cheese Straws, Lemon & Parsley Olives and Fortnum’s Pickle, to Lemon Curd, Toffolossus Biscuits and White Chocolate Florentines, perfectly finished with a cup of Queen Anne Blend Tea and some Sea Salted Caramel Truffles, before cleansing your palate with a refreshing cup Moroccan Mint Tea and the really quite delicious non-alcoholic Sparkling Tea 0% ABV. www.fortnumandmason.com
