Our Little Mother's Day Gift Guide
Sophie Lombardi
UK Mother’s Day falls on March 30th this year. This moveable feast has a different date and origin to the celebration in other countries such as America, Japan and Australia. In the Middle Ages, girls and women were given the 4th Sunday before lent to spend with their families. At the time, it wasn't uncommon for children to leave home to work when they were as young as 10 years old, so this was an opportunity for families to meet up again and attend church services. On the way home, children would often pick flowers and give them to their mothers and the tradition of Mothering Sunday was born.
There is nothing more gorgeous than a beautiful posy, however if you want your Mothers Day flowers to last forever, you might consider picking a beautiful Liberty fabric depicting clusters of fauna and flora in your Mum’s favourite colours. We have plenty of pillowcases and cushions in stock that would make beautiful gifts. This Liberty fabric ‘Felicite’ is one of our favourite classics featuring a rose trail design in yellow, peach and light green. Mum’s always need more sleep and silky Liberty Tana Lawn Cotton pillowcases are the ultimate treat.
Many of us feel bored of your home after the long winter months. A new tablecloth and napkins can breath a bit of life into your dining area. Why not choose your Mum a beautiful tablecloth or napkins handmade in our Cornish studio from premium laundered linens. Super-absorbent and easy to launder, the women in your life will love these practical and pretty table linens. Mix and match napkins and tablecloths for a unique and special dining setting.
Tablecloth and Napkin in Wimbledon Linen
Our generous drawstring bags are such a practical addition to any bag collection. Perfect for laundry, travelling, gym or whatever you choose. They also look great slung on the back of a door. Available in three gorgeous linen fabrics and lined with cotton.
To be honest, all I would really like for Mothers Day is an amnesty on sibling fighting. However given this is unlikely, a gorgeous gift from a small business would be very welcome. I know my Mother has always treasured the little things we have given her for Mothers Day so choose carefully and made well.
We’ll be doing a giveaway over Mothers Day so please keep an eye on our Instagram posts.
