Mother’s Day guide

For her body…
Debenhams are stocking the recently launched Betty Jackson Black all-in-one face palette (£15). Alternatively the Relaxing Gift Set (£16) offers the perfect selection of products for a bit of pampering and the Mini Travel Set (£10) is ideal for a mum who’s heading off on a short break.

The Sienna Spa at the Radisson Edwardian hotel is offering a one-hour facial and a luxurious Jessica Manicure for £150 per couple. In addition to these treatments, visitors will be entitled to use all the health club facilities including the swimming pool, relaxation rooms and the Jacuzzi. Packages can be booked at www.siennaspa.co.ukClassic fragrances are the scent of sophistication and 4711 is both classic and sophisticated. Originally created in 1792, the perfume is still available today from as little as £6.08. For more nostalgic aromas, there’s also Tweed, Panache and Lace (all £9.95 for 25ml) available from Boots.

Alice Temperley has joined forces with Elemis to ensure that you’re ready for summer’s arrival. The Safari Traveller for Women (£79) contains a selection of Elemis’ best sellers and is available exclusively in John Lewis until 27 March.

Yummy mummies around the city can look flawless in chic dresses from AX Paris. Clothes last much longer than a box of chocolates and can be enjoyed long after 4 April has passed. www.axparis.co.uk

Ni’elle in Stockport has created a range of Mother’s Day gift boxes. Each gift box contains a voucher of your choice and is finished with a delicious Lollicake to complete the pampering present. www.nielle.co.uk

Instead of ordering a bouquet of flowers, Element jewellery has crafted some simple single posy silver studs (£26) and a Lily Pad silver charm (£35) that won’t wilt away. elementjewellery.com

Spa in the City have been offering the popular Garra fish pedicures (from £6) for a while now, but Mother’s Day is a great excuse to pay it a visit. Click here.

For her home…
There’s a great range of products available from Me to You that will help you show mums how we really feel about them. The ‘Love you this much’ bunting Tatty Teddy (£9.99) definitely gets the right message across whilst the ‘Love you Mummy’ heart holding bear (£19.99) is sure to be well-received from young kids. www.metoyou.com

For mums who enjoy floral patterns, The Whispering Trees collection of gifts is ideal. With heartfelt message cards (£1) and key rings (£3.50) offering beautiful words of appreciation, more substantial gifts are also available with a mug and coaster set (£8.99) and a Gerbera patterned mum candle (£8.99).

Marks & Spencer has plenty of gifts for the house-proud mum. The Elizabeth Cake Stand (£25) and Elizabeth Teapot (£25) have a dainty, vintage look to them whilst the Bird Box (£9.50) is an original gift idea for wildlife loving mothers. If you’re after a practical gift then the Kirstie Allsopp Sewing Basket (£19.50) is beautifully adorned and full of cottons.

Intricate white storage jars (£10) and mirrors (£16) are alternative gift ideas from BHS. For a splash of colour, the range of towels (£8) and the vintage bedspread (£60) will add brightness to the home lifting everyone’s spirits.

For her taste buds…
If your mum is looking for something a bit more exciting this Mother’s Day then the Gosling’s Family Reserve Old Rum (from £44.15) is sure to give her a kick. There’s no reason why women can’t enjoy a tipple of rum any time of the year and Mother’s Day is certainly no exception. Buy online at www.thedrinkshop.com

The River Restaurant at The Lowry Hotel has created an indulgent four course menu (£35) especially for the day with a live pianist and a Bellini to keep you entertained before the meal. Afternoon tea (£25) includes finger sandwiches, fresh scones and pastries and chocolate dipped strawberries and can be reserved at theriverrestaurant.com
