Frequently asked questions

What are nice things for kids to do on Mother’s Day?
Mother's Day is a lovely chance for children to show Mum some love, and the most treasured gestures are the heartfelt, homemade ones rather than anything expensive — mums overwhelmingly value the thought and effort over the price tag. A scavenger hunt is a fun, active idea: with a grown-up's help, children hide a trail of clues around the house that lead Mum from one spot to the next, ending at a surprise like a homemade card, a little gift, or breakfast in bed. It turns the morning into a playful adventure and gets the children excited and involved. Other lovely things for kids to do: make her breakfast in bed, create a homemade card or a 'why I love Mum' keepsake, pick or make her some flowers, make a voucher book of treats (a lie-in, jobs done, cups of tea), do a chore or two to give her a break, draw a picture, or simply give her a relaxing morning. Getting children involved in planning and making something — with a bit of grown-up help — is what makes it special and memorable for everyone. The key is that it comes from the heart: a child's handmade effort, a thoughtful surprise, and some quality time together mean far more to most mums than a shop-bought gift. Keep it fun, personal and low-pressure, and it'll make her day.
