Mum's The Word

Now here's a subject I'm something of an expert on. Mums. I have one. I am one. I know loads. And while, although like Valentine's Day, I think it is a celebration for everyday, this year the appointed date is 18th March not three weeks from now. A mother's day gift will naturally be personal to the sender but there are themes that can give us some ideas. Like saying Thank You, I love you and I appreciate everything that you do for me. In my case, I have such a lot to be grateful for and it truly will be the thought that counts because no gift of any value could possibly do it justice. With that in mind, here is some last-ish minute inspiration from some of my favourite shops to help keep your Mother's Day both original and meaningful this year.

Here Comes The Bride...Again!

Yet another member of my close family has announced their engagement about which I am of course completely thrilled. It's time to find another engagement present and I've been avoiding the shops a bit recently for various reasons so let's get stuck in...and I'm striving for originality as well as desirability here.
