12 local last-minute gifts you can buy your Mum this Mother’s Day from Liverpool
3 years ago
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.
Scouse Bird Shop
The Scouse Bird Shop is the perfect place to find your Ma the perfect gift this Mother’s Day. It’s pretty much an Aladdin’s Cave of treats for your mum with everything from Liverpool inspired gifts, beauty items, clothing and even Spanish cleaning products (that we know every Mum in Liverpool loves). If she’s a gin lover be sure to check out the now famous Scouse Bird Gin and there’s even a dedicated Mother’s Day guide on the website here.
Say it with flowers at MQ Flowers, Metquarter
What did the Scouse lad get his mum for Mother’s Day? Son flowers! Terrible jokes aside, you can’t ever go wrong with a beautiful bouquet for Mother’s Day, and MQ Flowers at Metquarter is a family-run florist that specialises in fresh flowers and arrangements, and will be happy to offer advice on the best blooms for your mum.
So whether you know exactly what she loves or maybe you just know she likes ‘those big yellow ones’, the team’s more than happy to give you a helping hand. Give them a call on 07989 227979 or pop in for a chat.
The Nest, The Colonnades, Albert Dock
Ooh, you’ll find loads of lovely things in here, with a collection of handmade goodies from Liverpool and the surrounding regions – the Nest is the perfect place to support local independent businesses and buy the best pressie for your ma. You’ll find colourful prints, jewellery, dried flower bouquets, greetings cards and more, so if you’re looking for inspiration…it’s a good place to start. We like the ‘Alright, Tatty ‘Ed’ Organic Cotton Tote Bag, for £12.
Liverpool Pictures
What about a reminder of the Liverpool she loves to hang on the wall? Championing local art and photography, Liverpool Pictures is a gallery with the soul of the city at its centre. You can choose from a range of prints, pictures and photographs capturing the region’s most iconic destinations by artists like Ian Fennelly, Andrea Harvey and Ron Davies.
Still on the art front – The Art Quarter at Metquarter, Whitechapel
Art Quarter is a great collective of local artists who have come together to make art more accessible on the high street, with work in pastels, acrylic painting, photography, letterpress and glasswork. The artists work in the shop so you’ll even have a chance to speak to the person who created the work in front of you. They also stock a great range of greetings cards perfect for the occasion.
Spa treat
