How to create a special day for mum?

  • Let mum sleep in first! The day before, give her a Mother’s Day gift: a new pillow and soft bedding for a good night’s rest. Extra thoughtful: wash and dry the set first, so it’s ready for the bed!
  • Once she’s rested, treat her to breakfast in bed. Serve everything on a tray that can go straight from the kitchen to the bed, saving the kids from any mess. Add playful details and a few flowers to put a smile on mum’s face. As a surprise, gift her a new teapot and mug with breakfast.
  • If breakfast in bed isn’t her thing, prepare a Mother’s Day brunch for the whole family with mum’s favourite foods. Create a beautiful platter of treats and serve little nibbles in serving bowls to show you’ve taken the time! (Then do the dishes and tidy up!)
  • End this cosy or relaxing day together. Add extra blankets and pillows to the sofa, snuggle with the family, and read stories or watch a movie together. Happy Mother’s Day!
