Mother’s Day is an annual celebration which honours the female mother figure in your life.

Depending on which country you live in or you are from, it is celebrated in different months. If you are a blogger and would like some Mother’s Day blog post ideas I have a jam-packed article full of inspiration.

We like to give Mother’s Day gifts to our mother figures. The types of gifts will differ wildly based on your own relationship and their tastes and passions.

What Is Mother’s Day in the UK?

The date changes every year in the UK because it is linked to the Christian calendar. It usually falls in late March or early April and is celebrated on the fourth Sunday of Lent. Lent is three weeks before Easter Sunday.

This celebration is traditionally a Christian religious festival to celebrate Mother Church during the holy festival. The celebration isn’t actually motherhood and is referred to as Mothering Sunday.

Over the years as modern traditions have changed Mother’s Day has become commercialised.

We now shower our mother figure with cards and gifts. Personally, I am a fan of any excuse for presents, buying and receiving I like the gesture. Mother’s day gifts can be as personable as you want them to be, I like to buy self care gifts on Mother’s day or something indulgent for my mum to enjoy.

My Mother

I am one of five children, and being the only daughter and I do have a really good relationship with my mum.

We often have lunch dates and go shopping. When it comes to Mother’s Day I like to treat her to some extra special gifts. Could well be sibling rivalry, but I always like to buy the best present.

Last year I thought it would be nice for us to go and do something together as part of her Mother’s Day gift. My mum is always complaining about having her photo taken and feeling uncomfortable when being photographed.

With this in mind, I booked for us to go and have a makeover and photo shoot.

Primarily this was just for her so she could have some nice pictures of herself. However, it was so much fun and we had a great time doing the poses together that most of the pictures I bought her were of both of us

This year I am attending The Glamour Beauty Festival. It is being held in The Saatchi Gallery in London on Mother’s Day. So I won’t actually see my mum on Mother’s Day. Which is the first in a long time, but I’m sure it will be worth it.

Gifts For Mother’s Day

I am always well prepared with buying gifts and I bought my mum’s Mother’s Day presents earlier in the month. I have bought her Boots No7 Restore and Renew Multi-action cosmetics bundle from Boots.  Knowing it was something my mum wanted to be made it even better it was reduced by £53. Huge savings which I am really pleased about.

As well as Thornton’s Continental Heart Box of chocolates, I take after her we are both hardcore chocolate fans and Thornton is right up there on our favourites list.

I haven’t bothered ordering flowers this year as after speaking to my brothers that is what they intend to get her so she should have a couple of pretty bouquets, but I did have a look on a few sites as I love the Mother’s Day bouquets and the site Serenta Flowers have some stunning designs.

Hopefully, all the mums get some lovely treats from their children. And all the mother figures out they feel special.
