It’s Mothering Sunday this weekend in the UK and I’ve put together a gift bundle that may inspire you to wrap your gift to Mum a little differently this year. The usual thing to give on a day such as this is a gift of sorts, a card and some flowers. But you can wrap the whole thing up in to one delicious bundle if the mood takes you.
Books are a great gift to give to anybody as they last a long time and can bring great enjoyment. If you decide to give vintage Beatrix Potter or the latest ‘Chick Lit’ then tie the book bundle up in some ribbon instead of covering the whole thing in wrapping paper.
Then tie a large parcel tag to the top of the book bundle. I decorated my tag with buttons that I sewed on by hand, a tiny brooch that covered the hole at the top of the tag and painted on some simple blue daisies and the word ‘Mum’
A Mother’s Day gift wouldn’t be the same without some flowers. If the gift you give is small in size you can slip a simple posy in to the ribbon at the top. I love posies. They are lovely to work with and simply hold in your hand. Wrap ribbon tightly around the stems of the flowers and secure with a pin. This way you can slip them under the ribbon easily.
You can then present your gift bundle to your mum or leave it on her pillow to find all by herself.

Have a lovely weekend. Robert the Husband and I are doing some random ‘Baby Prep’ this weekend. We’ve had to get a another car, bye-bye Mini, and there are some bits and bobs to sort out for that. I’ve got some staking to do in the paddock and we’re also raiding my sister’s loft for all of her baby clothes.
Lovely times, these. Quite calm, still quiet and Robert and I are still able to work to our own timetable. Mmmmm, looking forward to seeing how next year’s Mother’s Day post will differ from this one.
Lots of love
Cherry xoxo
