Mother's Day is Sunday, the 3rd of April 2011 (Ireland)

Mother's Day is the 3rd of April this year in Ireland - a little bit later than usual this year, but at least it gives you plenty of time to plan that extra special gift for the mum in your life who has done so much for you.

We have a wide range of gifts, even more than last year and we hope that you'll find just what you're looking for.

Mother's Day, as we call it here in Ireland, is also known as Mothering Sunday and is traditionally the day that we set aside to honour our mum's and pamper them a little bit. Typically we try give our mums a break from the never ending work that they do for us or that they did while we were growing up and squatting free of charge at home. Most people treat their mams to a small gift, a bunch of flowers (tulips are the favourites) and even a card.

What mums tend to appreciate even more than the gifts we shower on them, is the chance to just take a break. For that reason, although we can't say its a tradition, it is a good idea to make the dinner for a change or even better still, bring mum out to lunch at one of her favourite restaurants.

Whatever you decide to do for your mum, she'll appreciate the gesture all the more if you put that extra bit of effort and thought into it. An original gift or a present that brings a smile to her face is bound to go down a treat as you hand it over to her over Sunday lunch or dinner.

If you need any ideas, feel free to give us a call - we'll be happy to help if we can in anyway. If you're living abroad outside Ireland, don't panic. Just order online with us and we'll make sure that everything is taken care of. If you need the gift wrapped, a message included or anything that you don't see on the website, just let us know. We'll deliver your gift and card or message to your mum anywhere in Ireland (or internationally) and take care of the details for you.

Have a look at our Mother's Day gifts selection and don't forget to pick a card too if you want to make it extra personal.

Have a great Mother's Day!
