Mothers Day Gift Idea #15 – Ruby & Ed slippers. Yes, we suggested slippers.
Well, yes, slippers are about as glam as getting socks. Or a pinny. I know. BUT. These aren’t really ordinary slippers, are they? And if Mothers Day Gifts are all about making you feel special, and pretty, and pampered – then these check all the right boxes. Satin, crochet flowers, bead work, dainty almost-not-there mule elegance… We love them. And – they’re from Ruby & Ed. So there. Those rather...
Mothers Day Gift Idea #14 – The Telegram. No, really.
Just how gorgeous are these telegrams? Each one is hand crafted, totally unique and designed to celebrate the classic British Telegram. An original 1940’s typewriter is used, and they even add vintage stamps and authentic franking.

And I’m also aware that M&S probably aren’t the first name that springs to mind when you think internet flowers. But. Can’t you just smell those hyacinths from there? And just look at this jug of sweetness: That’s a mini rose bush...
Mothers Day Idea #8 – The Spa Day
Peace. Even Tranquillity. Water softly cascading. Candles. Lighting. Warmth. No need to speak for hours. Pure Calmness. And rela-a-a-ax. Tell me this is not what every Mother wants. Just for one day.

The treatments are excellent, the atmosphere is perfect (noise and...
