Flowers, chocolates, candles...perfect presents for the perfect woman in your life

Abig weekend coming up for everyone as Mother’s Day is next Sunday. You don’t have to be a mum to recognise the importance of the date, you only have to be a daughter or a son. The one thing every human being on the planet has in common is that they were created by a woman.

There are so many ways it can come about – biologically, through surrogacy, through adoption or by simply having a female in your life. All in all, in some shape or form, we were all “made” by a woman.

And that’s why next Sunday most likely is one of, if not the, most important dates in the calendar. It is something we mark and celebrate from an early age. We have made endless cards, picked flowers and baked cakes until we were old enough to buy all of the above for our mums/ mother figures as a thank you. And you don’t have to spend much, as with mums/mother figures it literally is the thought that counts.

They are the only ones who love you unconditionally and never ask for anything in return – apart from a token to remind them you love them even a fraction of how much they love you.

Personally, I only really got the importance of it all when I myself became a mum. From my first surreal Mother’s Day when I got to watch her watch me as I eat my breakfast in bed and opened her little gift until this week when I receive the little card she makes me in school.
