5. Name a Box of Chocolates Gift

In the box is:-

• The ‘Chocolate Foundation’ Certificate
• Full colour brochure of the 40 Hand made chocolates you can choose from
• History of chocolate
• Chocolate recipes
• Chocolate book

9. Pamper Days

Choose between various pamper treats and send Mum off on her own or with a friend to enjoy some well earned ‘me’ time. There are various locations so check if there is one near you before purchasing. The ‘All About You’ Pamper Day for example includes treats like a facial, back and neck massage plus the usage of the spa for the day.

We Say “Give Mum a day off to remember.”

10. Cut Out Mounts Gift

Gather the pictures of your family that you treasure most and place them in a frame ‘cut out’ to form Mum’s name. It’s a simply idea and what makes it special is first the name and second the choice of pictures you have to make to fill the ‘cut out’; a gift that shows real care.

We Say “Mum’s name enlivened by family pictures is a memorable and most unusual idea.”
