Mum's the word this Sunday! Although every day is a time to make your mum feel loved, valued and reminded of just how fabulous she is, Mother's day is a chance to really sing it from the rooftops (or hilltops, if you live in do-re-Maria land).
So when it comes to the present, something especially special (a double espr-ecial) is needed. Enter Etsy, which pretty much captures the most wonderful things about mothers: kindness, comfort, creativity, crafty *enter amazing adjective beginning with c".
So here's my (Woody's) roundup of some truly magical gifts for Sunday. If you're in a spin about what to order, these may be just her...
Cup of Tea

Mother's day lace cookie, £6.50, Cookie Art London Custom Slate Coaster, £6.95, Pretty as a Picture 'Thank-you Mum' mug and coaster, £15, A Few Home Truths Vintage teacup candle, £9, Lindsay Lucas Candles Chocolate Dragon Eggs, £15, Sweet Lounge Chocolate Bouquet, £9, Sweet Lounge |
For all my fellow Khaleesis out there, it may be hard to resist the chocolate dragon eggs! The only thing that could top this was the "mother of dogs" T-Shirt I saw on Ebay.... I followed the custom-slate road a couple of christmases ago, complete with american shipping, but I've since become wise to the "Uk only" location filter - stay safe kids, use this button!
I'm still revering from a broken heart, when I tracked a wand-shaped crochet hook to... Illinois. However, if there's one thing the British do well, it's tea, so we're never going to be lost for tea tales here...

Paper flowers, £15, Alana Phoenix & Co 'If Mothers were Flowers' candle, £6, Lindsay Lucas Candles 'Mama Bear' spoon, £10, The Silver Birdcage 3D paper vase & bouquet, £20, Creaton Crafts |
Books and flowers are two of my favourite things; something my mum and I have in common! I received the loveliest book rose from friends last year, just after I went into treatment, and it always brings a smile to my face. As for the teaspoon... there's no 'bear with me' on this one! My WonderList has never looked this paw-some.
