With Mother’s Day nearly here (this Sunday the 31st of March!) we’ve been brainstorming some gift ideas for all the lovely mothers in our lives. Whether you’re shopping to surprise a cook, baker, gadget lover, dinner party host, or a foodie, we’ve got some ideas for you!

1. Find her the perfect Apron!

Sophie Allport Aprons - €24.95

If your Mam loves spending time baking and cooking, why not get her a new apron that showcases her personality? Regardless of her style, we’re sure to have an apron she loves. We have a huge range of patterns available, sure to cater to all tastes; bright and cheery lemon themes, elegant minimalist designs, and for animal lovers, designs ranging from cats and dogs to chickens and cheetahs! 

2. Bring her out for Afternoon Tea – or make one at home!

Plate Stand – €10.95

You could visit one of the many wonderful purveyors of afternoon tea in Dublin and beyond, but for something extra special, on or why not treat your Mam to a homemade one? Complete your afternoon tea with this lovely three-tier plate stand for serving all your treats. Check out Odlum’s lovely scone recipe here, Little Green Spoon’s delicious recipe for chocolate and pistachio dipped cookies here, or why not try this amazing prosecco cupcake recipe from Food Ireland!

 

3. A book on cake decorating

Cakes in Bloom -  €22.95

This gorgeous book by Peggy Porschen Cakes has everything you need to know about the art of sugarcraft flowers. It would be the perfect present for any budding cake decorators.

The photos of the creations inside are unbelievably beautiful, making it a lovely coffee table book for brainstorming cake ideas outside of the kitchen!

Plus, we stock all the plunger cutters, floral wire, and food colourings needed to get started on some floral masterpieces.

 

4. Bird patterned cake stand and server

Stand - €25.95 Server – €12.95

Another baker-centric idea is this lovely cake stand set, ideal for serving spring and summer cakes and desserts.

 

5. A Lovely Lunch Bag

These beautiful insulated lunch bags make a thoughtful and practical present for anyone on the go – make sure your Mam gets a good lunch on her busier days!

And if that’s not big enough, what about a beach basket? Perfect for non-beach adventures too!

 

6. For the Foodie…

If your Mum is less of a cook, and more of an appreciation of fine food, she may love one of our fondue sets, or something from our extensive cheese section – the perfect tools to enjoy some cheese and wine.

We also have this beautiful once-off Nicolas Vahe hamper, full of delicious treats she’ll definitely enjoy.

Call in to us this weekend to see all this and more, just in time for Sunday!
