I love Mother’s Day. It’s a great excuse to catch-up with my mum and have some ‘girl’ time. We usually go out to eat or sit at a cosy café and chit-chat over a coffee. We do this all year round, to be fair, but on Mother’s Day, it’s her day and I am on my best behaviour.
Giftwise, I usually get her some beautiful orchids (her favourite) or a giant bouquet of flowers. I also make her a card – you can’t beat handmade – with our photos on it: adorable, right. She loves it, although she does insist that I mustn’t get her anything.
This year, I want to step it up a bit, go for uber-daughter points and get her some spa gifts. One day, I will book us a mother and daughter Spa Day – I can’t imagine a better way of celebrating. But for now, I have hand-picked some lovely, eco-friendly (of course) items that I know she will enjoy. I want her to feel special, pampered and beautiful as a reminder that she means so much to me and I’m so grateful for everything she does.
Towelsoft Luxury Towelling Bathrobe (£54.90)
The Towelsoft luxurious towelling Bathrobe is a perfect spa themed gift. It’s made of pure Egyptian cotton and a 550gsm in weight, making it snug and cosy. It’ll feel like you’ve just stepped out of a hot tub. It has a shawl collar that’s snug and deep cuffs. It’s also unisex and has several colours you can choose from – this gift is literally like a warm hug to your mum!

I hope mum loves her gifts – and a happy mother’s day to you and yours.
