Mothering Sunday gift ideas

Here are my top 5 Mother's day gift ideas, allready?! (which actually could work for valentines gifts as well but they are not really orientated towards men?? well...maybe some men). But they are not really in any sort of order so maybe we'll call it 5 Favourites :)

As lovely as flowers, chocolates and bath smellies are, I have tried to find things that are a bit different and all £10 or under!

These Cath Kidston brooches are adorable and at £8 not a bad price for a gift.

Oooh pretty ribbon!

Am I the only one who gets excited by a nice ribbon??

This 3m spool of ribbon is a great little gift and available for around £5 and comes in lots of lovely designs.

Pretty useful. Mums love useful AND pretty things, don't they? Or maybe it's just my Mum who has an obsession with boxes and tins.

You get three cases in alternating sizes and I belive it was £10 for the three from the British Heart Foundation shop.

And if you are feeling particularly generous you could even buy a case and fill it with lovely little gifts?

Tea for one.

I wish I could buy this for my mother only she tells me she doesn't like tea. Sad times.

I think I will have to start drinking tea so that I can collect teapots, it is my ambition in life to become an old lady who collects teapots and garden gnomes. They are the best kind of old ladies.

At £9.95 that's another gift for under £10

And finally...

what about a set of fabric badges for £3, or maybe you could make your own??

I hope this has been sufficiently inspirational.

Happy Shopping and Thank you for reading,

Valentines and Mother's day cards

I have been busy making stock of cards ready for Valentines and Mother's day. Over a month early!!

So here is what I came up with...

Lots of these designs use hearts as a base for flowers, butterflies and wreaths.

I think lots of these would be suitable for both occasions or even general birthday/greeting cards and as allways they are available from the gift shop 'for you' in Felpham village. Also, I am currently looking into opening a Folksy or Etsy account to start selling online. It would be good to know if anyone would be interested and what sort of items would be desired so please leave a comment or e-mail me at milliebutler-hiorns@hotmail.co.uk
