You don’t have to do Mother’s Day. But if you do - we’re here to help.

by Paul Edmunds on March 04, 2021

The thing with these annual celebrations like Mothering Sunday and Valentine’s Day is that they’re not for everyone are they? 

This year Mother’s Day falls on Sunday 14th March. Traditionally it is a Christian festival and one where people returned to the churches in which they were baptised as children to gather with their families and loved ones and children would pick flowers to give to their mothers on the way to church. Servants in large houses were given the day off as a holiday and would use this special time to visit their mothers and take home a gift. 

Nowadays we celebrate Mother’s Day as a way to honour the wonderful women in our lives; to give thanks to our mothers, grandmothers - and even great grandmothers for their love and support. 

But I am very aware that there are many for whom the day can be filled with pain or sorrow, because of grief, loss, infertility, shattered dreams or even anger. If this is you, please know that I am thinking about you and I hope that there is someone in your life that can hug you just a little bit tighter on that day of all days.

But if this is a day that you choose to celebrate, as a first time Mum, a mum of toddlers or teenagers, a grandmother of many….then I hope we have a little something that fits you and your loved ones to give as a gift.

During the Lent fast, people traditionally avoided rich food and indulgences. However, the fast was lifted a little on Mothering Sunday when a delicious marzipan covered Simnel cake would be shared with the family - not at Easter when we tend to make it nowadays.

In modern times it’s usual to find a thoughtful something for them in a little gift shop - albeit a slightly more commercial way to go! But hey - you can’t blame me for trying, can you? So here’s a little idea of a few presents we think would honour all those women you hold dear.

  1. Wonder-Mum Mother's Day Card

  5. Bird On A Branch Necklace One of my personal favourites is this exquisitely designed sterling silver bird on a branch necklace. The 18ct gold vermeil bird sits perfectly on a beautifully textured branch. The movement and unique design of this necklace makes it a very stylish and desirable piece of jewellery.
