Choosing the best Mother's Day gift has never been more important than in 2021. Whether it is your mum, step-mum, grandma, auntie, dad, or carer; this year they deserve to be thanked and appreciated for holding your hand (albeit virtually) through the pandemic and what has been one of the hardest years of our generation.
Use 14th March as an excuse to spoil and celebrate them and all that they represent in your life. Be thoughtful with your gift and say it with gestures that echo a thousand words. Many of us will not be celebrating with our loved one in person this time round but, thanks to our Rushden Lakes gift guide you’ll be able to pull out all the stops to show just how much you care.
For every different kind of mum, we’ve listed some really chic and practical presents that say a big fat "THANK YOU.” Start the day with breakfast in bed. Great food and a hot drink are some of life's simple pleasures and with this delicious continental hamper from M&S, you’ll be delivering a meal fit for a queen.

Alternatively, add a candle making kit to your basket or even a Puppy Latch Hook Kit to create a dazzling design perfect as a cushion cover, decorative wall art or even a statement rug or bathmat. You will earn some brownie points for the arts and crafts touch to your gifting.
