Let’s just put the facts out there up front – Sunday 18th March is Mothering Sunday. We’ll be closed to spoil our loved ones with cakes but there’s plenty of time to get the card and gift ready. Here’s a selection of our gift ideas…

1/ HAY Tea Towels £9.90

Great design and great colour combine with this kitchen pick me up, all we ask is that the giver does the washing-up not the recipient.

2/ Letterpress Journal £9.60

Escape routes, holiday destination wish-lists or daily errands a lady should never be without a notebook. With many more in store, here’s a letterpress favourite.

3/ Karen Walker Eyewear – Perfect Day £140.00

The tortoiseshell makes this a classic (read as: hand-me-down in waiting if you like to share accessories) and the shape is one of Karen’s most wearable frames. Oh, and the name, well need we say more.

4/ Sabrina Dehoff – Triple Stone Orchid Necklace £95.00

Sabrina’s hand-painted Swarovski crystals are a winner, their bright colours might make them on trend for Spring/Summer but we can see this worn daily.

5/ The Gentlewoman £6.00

A wowzers cover with Christie Turlington and great stories to boot, this magazine should come with a ready-made pot of tea, biscuits and a footstool. You’ve been warned.
