Frequently asked questions

How do you set up a treasure hunt for Mother’s Day?
A treasure hunt is a delightful way for children to lead Mum to her Mother's Day surprise, and ready-made clue cards take the effort out of writing rhymes yourself. The setup is simple: each clue points to where the next clue is hidden, forming a trail that ends at Mum's surprise (a gift, breakfast, or a heartfelt card). To set it up, decide on your hiding spots and the order, work out which clue leads to which, then place them — working backwards from the final surprise is the easiest way to get the order right. A few tips to make it run smoothly: keep the clues simple enough for the children's ages to understand (and read out, if needed); walk the trail yourself first to check it flows and nothing's been moved; choose hiding spots that are findable but fun (the kettle, the sofa, the dining table, a favourite chair); and let the children decorate the cards with drawings to make it personal. You can add a little treat or a hug at each stop for extra fun. The whole thing turns handing over a gift into a playful adventure that gets the children excited and involved, and gives Mum a morning of smiles. It works for any age of child (with grown-up help for little ones) and any size of home. Simple, sweet, and sure to make her feel special.
