The old saying goes that ‘Mum knows best’ and well, that is a pretty hard sentiment to debate. Just think about it, when you find yourself in an argument with your partner or a squabble with friends, who do you turn to? Mum will always be there with some helpful advice, a hug and maybe even a tissue or two if you need it. She always knows just what to say and it’s really rather remarkable.
All of that maternal wisdom didn’t happen overnight though. The reason your Mum knows you so well - what makes you tick, what vegetables you definitely don’t eat and the songs that make you cry - is because she has spent years looking out for you and teaching you everything you know. We hardly think it’s a controversial statement then, to say that Mums deserve to be shown just how much they are loved.
Sure, you could (and should) buy her flowers or write her notes of appreciation any day of the year, but Mothering Sunday is so special because it’s a day solely dedicated to all of the wonderful Mums out there - young mums, old mums, fun mums, and mums that only know Tik Tok as the sound that the clock on the mantelpiece makes.
This year Mother’s Day falls on Sunday 30 March, so you’ve still got plenty of time to organise something extra special. Whether you’re able to be with your mum physically or not, you can still make sure she has a great day by sending her a gift in the post. Or, if you are living with your Mum and able to see her, why not whip up a restaurant quality meal with a DIY kit that can be delivered straight to your door? To help make sure that your Mother’s Day 2025 is as special as it deserves to be, we have rounded up the best Mother’s Day meal kits, gifts and hampers that Mum will love. Read below to see our favourites.
