Many of us will have barely seen our mums over the last year, so you’ll want to make this year’s Mother’s Day extra special. Here is our ultimate guide to your Mother’s Day gift ideas for your mum, nan, mum-to-be, step-mum or your awesome mum-like superstar.
Get organised!
Add the date into your diary, Mother’s Day 2021 is Sunday March 14th. So, do you have any Mother’s Day gift ideas yet? Rather than leaving it to the last minute, why not start planning especially as many small businesses like us have a last order date. This ensures that your Mother’s Day gift arrives on time. Just in case you’re wondering our last date to order for delivery on Saturday March 13th is Wednesday, 10th March.
Hold a virtual afternoon tea party
Mother’s Day 2021 is the perfect excuse to have a Zoom afternoon tea party with your family, after all everyone is a zoom expert now! Nothing beats a cup of tea and a freshly warmed scone. We might be celebrating at home (again) this year, but that doesn’t mean you can’t get the best china out.
Indulge your Mum, with the ultimate Mother’s Day Afternoon Tea. Bursting with teatime treats, your Mother’s Day Afternoon Tea at home will delight even the sweetest tooth! Luscious lemon sponge layered with zesty citrus buttercream finished with a floral topper; soft and squishy chocolate cake filled with Sicilian orange oil buttercream; flaky, buttery fruit scones paired with our signature homemade summer berry jam; lush white chocolate and raspberry blondies; fragrant rose petal vanilla cookies; a selection of indulgent macarons and not forgetting your English Breakfast tea.
Why not indulge too
After all your mum won’t want you to miss out. Join in the fun and savour all the treats yourself by ordering a second afternoon tea delivery from our kitchen to your home too. It’s almost like being together (albeit virtually) and turning the day into a real celebration for all the family.
Personalise your Mother’s Day gift ideas
Did you know that every cake we make includes a handwritten card to your Mum or extra special mum-like superstar in your life. Simply add your message into the ‘notes’ when you checkout, making the cake very personal to you.
Pimp your afternoon tea
If we (mum and daughter, Erica and Charlie) are having afternoon tea, we have to add a glass of Prosecco. It’s just not the same without it…in our opinion!
Unusual and unique
When you know your Mum would secretly like something different to traditional flowers, what can you possibly find that’s an unusual Mother’s Day gift idea? How about the ultimate Mother’s Day cake delivery – exquisite edible hand painted flowers on a light, soft and scrumptious homemade sponge. Give their taste buds a treat by choosing between our two designs – Spring Cherry Blossoms or Bold Mosaic Floral.
A gift box of happiness
One of our customers recently described our macarons by post as a little box of happiness. We loved this idea and think your Mum would too, as a lovely way to simply say ‘I’m thinking of you.’
Whether you’re celebrating your mum, nan, mum-to-be, step-mum or your awesome mum-like superstar, more important than any gift you might buy, simply tell her that you love her.
