Let’s face it, mums are amazing. Make sure she knows it by buying her a gift that shows her just how much you care. And if you’re all out of ideas, read on, we know just what mums love and have put together the ultimate Mother’s Day gift guide featuring some of our favourite products from retailers at The Mall.
Gifts for the green-fingered
Spring is finally here and some days it even feels like summer’s just around the corner, so how about buying your mum something to brighten up her garden? B&M has a great outdoor range, which includes garden furniture, pots, lighting, hanging baskets, dining sets, BBQ essentials, cushion and rugs – all of which make fantastic seasonal gifts. It’s also worth paying Primark and TK Maxx a visit, where you’ll find other key garden pieces such as outdoor candles and lanterns.
Scent-sational suggestions
Whether your mum likes to stick with the classics or try out new scents, with four fragrance retailers in the shopping centre (The Perfume Shop, The Fragrance Shop, Arabian Desire and Sunnamusk), you’re sure to find the perfect perfume for your mum. The Perfume Shop and Fragrance Shop have some brilliant seasonal deals, so you may even get a gift set or bag a bargain while you’re at it. As an added bonus, they all offer a gift-wrapping service too, which saves you another job!
Elevate the everyday
Has your mum got a favourite lipstick, a must-have moisturiser or a bubble bath that makes her feel blissed out – you know, those really nice products that she for saves special occasions because they’re too expensive to use all the time? Boots, Superdrug and TK Maxx stock all the big names at great prices, so treat her to some designer make-up or indulgent skincare and insist she uses it every day…because she absolutely deserves it.
Budget-loving beauties
You don’t have to spend a fortune to show your mum – or the mother figure in your life – that you care. Retailers like Primark and Card Factory specialise in good-quality yet budget-conscious gifts that your mum will love. You can’t go wrong with a Primark scented candle or reed diffuser, their fluffy socks cost less than a fiver and they’ve got some lovely pamper products too – all suitable for those on a smaller budget.
As for Card Factory, they’ve got a huge range of Mother’s Day gifts that are low in cost but big on sentiment. They’ve got lots of pretty stationery items too, which are ideal for when you’re counting the pennies.
Blooming brilliant
If you think flowers are boring, then come and see what Anne’s Florist has to offer. Our resident florist will be back on 29 and 30 March. A bunch of flowers may be a classic gift, but it’s one never goes out of date, especially when it’s hand-tied, exquisitely arranged and chosen by you.
Spring is the best time for beautiful blooms – pick a vibrant bouquet of Anne’s finest flowers and bring some seasonal colour to your mum’s home. And the good thing about flowers is they’re a gift that keeps on giving. Long after you’ve left, your flowers will continue to bloom and bring joy.
Movie moment
Does your mum love a rom-com? Rather than buying her a physical present, how about treating her to a film and some food? For the full Turkish experience, Kervan Sofrasi is taking Mother’s Day bookings, or if you fancy a quick bite to eat on your way in, Cineworld is ideally located next to The Bridge, where there’s a choice of different cuisines. Don’t forget to leave room for a huge bucket of popcorn though, it’s not a movie without snacks!!
