Five steps to give your mum the perfect Mother’s Day!
MOTHER'S DAY IS SUNDAY 2ND MARCH 2008!! You have been warned!
Mother’s Day only comes round once a year, so to help you make sure it’s a special day to show your mum just how much you care, here’s a simple 5 step programme to ensure you’re going to be in your mum’s good books!
Step 1: Don’t Forget It!
It’s sounds straightforward – but it really is the most important one! This year (2008), it’s Sunday the 2nd of March. So, make sure you buy your Mother’s Day Gifts, cards, flowers or whatever in good time, and make sure you pop round or give her a call early on during the day, so she knows sooner rather than later that you’ve remembered. Keeping her waiting for her Mother’s Day present until the evening without a call beforehand will simply mean she is left wondering if you’ve forgotten all day long. Put her out of her misery, and make sure she knows you’re on the ball!
Step 2: It’s the thought that counts!
When you’re choosing something to buy for your mum, it’s best to think of a Mother’s Day gift idea that is really going to impress. And that usually doesn’t mean the amount you’ve spent – it means the thought you’ve put into it. So, spend a bit of time thinking about what she’d like – and make sure you don’t end up with a tired old box of chocolates and last minute flowers from the petrol station – because she’ll know!
Step 3: The gift of time
Every mum wants to have a little more time dedicated to her. So why not do just that – whether you’re planning to take her out for lunch or dinner, or out shopping, or even on a special Mother’s Day trip somewhere she loves – wherever she’s going to be going – it’s your company that will ensure it’s a special day. Make sure you allocate adequate time for whatever it is you’re planning to do with your mum – if you’re looking at your watch or having to dash off somewhere, you might as well not have bothered. Focus on letting her know that the time you have together on Mother’s Day is special – and solely dedicated to her!
Step 4: Like water off a duck’s back…
Let’s face facts – every mum has that tendency to know the wrong buttons to hit with their children. Whether she makes snide remarks about your partner – or lack of one, or your child care skills – or lack of them, or your weight, dress sense, car, house…the list can go on and on – however irritating this usually is, and however often these comments end up disintegrating into an argument – on Mother’s Day – let them go. Yep, just like water off a duck’s back – just let her get away with it one day a year!
Step 5: The Rest of the Year
The rest of the year – there’s always an excuse not to pop round, not to call, not to send an email or write – so this year, make a Mother’s Day resolution instead of a New Year’s one – one that’s easy enough to stick to – just get in touch with your mum whenever you think of her. Whether that’s once a day or once every other month – it’s bound to be a little more often than you currently get in touch – and bound to be very very much appreciated by your mum. Remember – you were her little baby once!
For help with telling your mum you love her in style, check out our gorgeous Mother’s Day Gifts to suit every budget.

Valentines Day Gifts - the Minefield of Love!
When the dreaded date gets nearer, many of us start to panic. Whether you're in a long, long term relationship, been mildly flirting for a few weeks, or even if you're single, the thought of February 14th can initiate panic like no other date!
So here's a guide to what you might want to buy for your Valentines presents, depending on the sort of relationship you're in...without resorting to a bunch of tired old petrol station flowers on the day itself!
For those of you in the very early stages - a few dates in, not met the parents yet, that sort of thing - it's understatement that's probably the best for your Valentines Day gifts. It's hard to find a card that isn't over the top romance, and often a gift does the trick better. Why not check out Helping Hand Giftbag or Celebrate Silliness or even The Little Bag of Beer - all great gifts for him which hit the right tone - fun, affectionate...but not stalker-esque! For Valentines presents for her, have a look at Pamper Giftbag, Treat Time Giftbag or Sweet Girl Giftbox.
When you're more than a few months in and settling into your relationship, Valentine's Day can be a great excuse to add an extra bit of spice to the proceedings! From sexy gifts that inspire a little Lap Dancing at Home through to a night to remember with Sexy Gifts - the Ultimate Collection, there's something to naughty things up, whatever your budget!
When you know they're the one for you, then your Valentines Day gifts are the perfect way to let them know just how much they mean to you. With romantic presents like I Love You, you combine the loving message with a selection of cool presents too, making sure you get the desired impact with your Valentines presents! There's even an I Love You Too Giftbox and more romantic presents, including Sealed with a Kiss, so, with such a great choice of gifts to say those three little words, you can rest assured you're going to be in the good books for some time to come!
For those who are years into a relationship, buying Valentines presents can be tricky. Your other half is probably sick to death of flowers and chocolates - the usual Valentines Day gifts - and is either waiting for some really cool presents or sexy gifts to get things going in the bedroom!
From stylish and gadget gifts, which always make cool presents for him, to jewellery and pampering gifts - great romantic presents for her, there's plenty of choice to buy Valentines Day gifts to surprise and delight this year! Alternatively, get them raising an eyebrow (or two) in pleasant surprise with sexy gifts like a Goody Bag or even Lust!, or even book up a weekend away...with an essential travel companion to take along for the ride, so to speak, in Naughty Gift for a Weekend of Fun!
If you tend to use Valentines Day gifts as an excuse to buy each other something gorgeous, then indulge in some of our Tasty Treats (perfect for sharing!), of check out our Birthday Presents for more inspirational gift ideas!
