Mother’s Day is coming up soon (10th March) and I wanted to share some gift ideas for the amazing mums out there – be they in the trenches of new motherhood, mothers of teens or mothers whose spawn have flown the nest. With Etsy, you can find anything – whether your mum is a connoisseur of cosy comforts, a lover of all things green, or an avid collector of timeless accessories, we’ve got you covered. From intricately hand-painted ceramics to bespoke jewellery pieces that sparkle with elegance, there’s something here to delight every kind of mum.
But, I wanted to start today’s post with my recent Mother’s Day gifting blunder.
Last Mother’s Day, I wanted to treat my own mum and get her something personal and personalised. My mum really is my best friend so I wanted to get her a sweet gift to show her that. I shopped around until I found the perfect sign for her garden that should have said something like “If Mums were flowers, I’d pick you”. Lovely idea, right?
Well, in the midst of my own lack of sleep and juggling it all as a mother myself, I misspelt part of the personalisation and didn’t think to check until it came to giving it to my Mum.
Fast forward to Mother’s Day and the present opening time. The look on her face should have been happiness and awe. However, her reaction was one of puzzlement and horror. In my error, I’d written bums instead of mums. Yep, the sign read: “If bums were flowers, I’d pick you.”
Luckily, she saw the funny side of it and the sign still hangs, pride of place, in her garden.
