Ways to make your mum feel special
The Sun also reported on the number of different ways shoppers can help make their mum feel special on Mother’s Day.
Follow these tips — and show how much you care, without spending heaps of cash . . .
TOP TIPPLES: Brew tea in a pot (as opposed to the mug) for the best taste and you can then use it to top up all guests.
Loose leaves are often more flavoursome than tea bags. Ikea has a glass teapot, £10, with an integrated infuser that will do the job.
A glass of fizz makes the experience feel a little more luxurious. A bottle of prosecco spumante is £5.45 at Lidl.
SWEET TREATS: You don’t need to lay on lots of different varieties of sandwiches. Cucumber, cheese and tuna or salmon are more than enough. Simply trim crusts and cut into rectangular fingers.
Making your own cake is a nice touch for Mum.
You can create a Victoria sponge cake for 48p a serving by following the recipe on realfood.tesco.com.
If you’re not feeling creative in the kitchen, head to Lidl and you can pick up a four-pack of scones for £1.49, plus clotted cream, £1.99, and strawberry jam, £1.49, if you’re a loyalty member.
You can also get cakes including carrot cake, lemon drizzle and red velvet for £2.50 from Sainsbury’s with a Nectar card.
TOP TABLE: Dig out a clean table cloth and napkins to make the experience feel fancy. And add some cheap blooms to the table. A bunch of daffodils is £1 from Sainsbury’s.
