Sunday March 15, the most important date in the 2015 Irish Mammy calendar, is just around the corner. And although she’ll probably tell you “not to be wasting money on her,” we all know that Mother’s Day pressies are mandatory. Show up empty-handed on the big day and there’ll be holy war.
Every Irish Mammy deserves to be spoilt absolutely rotten this Mother’s Day so we’ve put together five gift ideas (that won’t break the bank) to give you some inspiration.
A decent bottle of wine
You can’t go wrong with picking up a bottle (or two) of her favourite tipple. And even better if you crack it open, settle in for the evening together on the sofa and catch up on all the news. This New Zeland Sauvignon Blanc is a good choice for only €8.79.
A customised set of coasters
If you’re feeling crafty, try your hand at making some personalised tea/coffee coasters using family photos. All you’ll need are a set of ceramic tiles, white craft glue to stick the photos, and some Mod Podge to make them waterproof. These are really simple to make and she’ll think of you every time she’s having a cup of tea.
A bouquet of flowers
Don’t let your Mammy be the only woman in the country who doesn’t get a gorgeous bouquet on Mother’s Day. Our advice? Splash out on an extra special bunch of flowers that she can spend the week admiring.
A DIY cupake bouquet
What’s better than a bouquet of flowers? You’ve guessed it, an edible bouquet of flowers. If you want to do something creative, we recommend giving this cupcake creation a go. It looks fun to do, and it’ll show that you’ve put in the special effort that your Mam deserves. Click here for a full recipe and guide to making this tasty gift.
A nice box of choccies
If baking isn’t your forte, take the easy route to satisfying your Mam’s sweeth tooth. Pick up a luxurious box of chocolates, present it with a steaming hot cup of tea and you know you’ll be in the serious good books for the day. You can pick up the below for only €9.99.
