There’s a kind of unspoken and unwritten rule about what you can and cannot give mum for Mother’s Day. Mum will always appreciate gifts like fresh flowers, chocolates, snacks, wine, and anything that she will see as a treat like bath and body products. The kinds of gifts that you should avoid are those that relate to housework. So, no matter how much you think she might like a new iron or vacuum cleaner, it might not be the best idea.

For those who enjoy entertaining for tea, anything along these lines would be well-received. Tea hampers are lovely for providing mum with all the tea and snacks she needs. You can even buy her a new fancy teapot and cup set to go with it if you lik
