12 local last-minute gifts you can buy your Mum this Mother’s Day from Liverpool

Mother’s Day is fast approaching and there’s lots of things you can treat your Mum to across Liverpool

She spent years picking your dirty socks up off the floor, chasing after you to school when you’d forgotten your PE kit, and giving you a hug when your latest love had broken your heart – and she’s still there with constant support and words of wisdom, and a Sunday roast that’d put Gordon Ramsay to shame.

That’s worth a thank you surely?!

So why not treat your mum with something that tells her how great she is, like a fab gift that you can get right here in the city…

Nature’s Treasure, Royal Albert Dock 

This dockside treasure trove is a paradise of natural world wonders, with an assortment of silver and fashion jewellery, unique home furnishings and eye-catching crystals, so you know any gift’ll be one of a kind – just like she is!

Sponsor an animal at Freshfields

Now this is cute, it’s kind and it’ll help make a difference!

Freshfields Animal Rescue is asking you to consider a bit of a different gift this Mother’s Day, by sponsoring an animal. From £4.50 a month or a one-off annual payment of £40, you could sponsor a dog or a farm animal, or how about a rabbit mother and her babies? (What could be more fitting for Mothers Day?). Your mum will receive a sponsorship certificate, a photo of her animal and a Freshfields car sticker, and she’s get a yearly email update about her chosen animal.

Now that’ll put a smile on any animal-loving mum’s face.
