Giving the wrong gift is the mother of all mistakes

Looking for 50 ways to thrill your Mammy? From flowers to flour power, the choices for Mother’s Day gifts are endless.

If finances allow, you could splash out on a week in the sun or a pampering spa weekend at home. Not every Mammy’s boy or girl can afford such extravagance, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t dig as deep as you dare. After all, love hurts.

There are alternatives like a beautiful bunch of flowers, some reassuringly expensive chocolates, a shopping gift card or a voucher for a haircut or beauty products.
