SHARING TIME
Gifts You Can Enjoy Together
Sometimes the best gift is time spent together. Plan something fun that shows you know what she loves and gives you both something to look forward to.
• High tea at a local café or hotel – Finger sandwiches, pastries, and a pot of tea = a perfectly elegant Mother’s Day outing.
• Pottery or art class – Create something together, whether it’s a wonky mug or a painted masterpiece.
• Wine tasting or a picnic in the park – You get the idea - gourmet snacks and a bottle of bubbles. Cheers!
Shared experiences are memory-makers—and pairing them with a thoughtful gift (like that Willow & Zac bag) makes the day even more special.

HEARTFELT - LOW & NO COST
Keepsake Gifts with Meaning & Love
Some families are doing it tough right now. You don’t need to spend a lot of money to show how much you love Mum. Some of the most meaningful gifts are very low cost.
Here are a few ideas that come from the heart:
• Create a “Reasons I Love You” jar, notebook or storyboard. Fill a jar with handwritten notes listing everything you adore about her.
• Create a “Best Memories” Jar or notebook. Include handwritten reflections on beautiful memories of things your Mum has done with or for you.
• Write an old-school letter. Tell her what she means to you, or share your memories that will make her smile. Words are powerful and I promise it will go straight to Mum’s Keep Forever stash.
• Make her a special meal. It can be the traditional breakfast in bed, or a treat to have with her coffee. Keep it simple and serve it with love (or make something amazing if are a great cook)
• Give her a “day off” or vouchers for help around the house Take over Mum’s jobs for the day and let her relax. PS If you give a voucher to wash her car or clean the bathroom, lock in the date, and get it done!
• Organise a photo slideshow or memory book – Use your phone to put together a digital (or printed) walk down memory lane.
• Make some vouchers for the personal care your Mum loves. Back rubs, hair massages, a manicure, massage, back scratches. You know the thing that makes her happy.
• A Mum Date. Make a time to go for a walk, a coffee, or shopping trip. Spending time together is something Mum really enjoys.
These are the kinds of gifts that become keepsakes in her heart—and that’s what Mother’s Day is all about.

Celebrate Mum your own way
Whether you’re buying a carefully considered gift, organising a thoughtful day out, or writing a heartfelt note—Mother’s Day is about showing love in your own way.
And don’t forget—sometimes, the most treasured gifts aren’t wrapped at all. A hug, a cup of tea, a shared story… those are the moments that matter most.

Wishing all the Mums a very Happy Mother’s Day.😍😍
