Mothers Day Inspiration #AD
My mum is notoriously hard to buy for and so is Matts mum. I bet most mums are and they always say ‘don’t worry about me, treat yourself!’ Nightmare!! So let me help you with a little inspiration.
We have been gifted these fantastic items for inclusion within this post.
Now as a mum I know when you need a rest and want to snuggle down in a lovely dressing gown! Well this White Company dressing gown and Sudocrem is perfect. In a handy tube and tub the Sudocrem is perfect to drop into your handbag or changing bag. Sudocrem can be used on all sorts of things from bites, burns, stings and babies bums, it really is so diverse its great. You can buy Sudocrem from most chemists or supermarkets but today you have the chance to win this amazing bundle below.
Wine for non drinkers! I myself don’t like the worry about having too many drinks and not hearing the baby but like the taste of wine, so Botonique, is perfect for me. Not only does it taste like wine, it looks like wine and is best served chilled. You can achieve the feeling of having a drink but being ok to drive and coherent enough to parent so its perfect. Not only does it taste amazing but it is also only 12 calories a glass! Botonique comes in white and blush and is perfect to take to parties when you are the nominated driver. You can buy yours here.
Now if you fancy the ‘real stuff’ instead but don’t want the heaviness of all the alcohol content of standard wine, try Three Mills wine in red, white and Rose. The wines are all available at local supermarkets and have the convience of a screw cap. All of the wines have their own distinctive taste which is perfect to accompany several different meal types. At only 10.5% ABV it’s ideal for those nights when you just need a glass of something stronger than coffee! The wines are also a bargain too. To buy head to Asda or B&M. The wines have won awards and taste great too.
Kleen Kanteen Insulated Drinks bottle. As mums are always on the go- tea gets cold, drinks go warm and they are always out and about, the perfect solution is a leak proof insulated drinks bottle. The leak proof cafe cap is perfect for bags and on the go drinking. The 20oz (592ml) bottle holds drinks for 14 hours hot and 48 hours iced so great for hot days or taking the coffee you didn’t drink before the school run with you. What’s even better is the bottle is 4 times more durable and chip resistant klean coat than other bottles. You can buy yours from Klean Kanteen.

Last but not least where would us mums be without a good cookbook. I am always after good cookbooks that show me new ways of the world and foods to make you drool and these two fantastic books are no change to that. Chris Bavin’s Good Food Sorted is full of easy classic recipes with a healthy twist. The book also includes a great array of pictures and tips to ensure your kitchen runs smoothly. After that if you want a tantalising desert that isn’t going to stick to your hips in seconds Natural Baking is the one for you- all of the desserts are perfect for budding bakers that love to make dessert but want them to be more healthy. This book is by Carolin Strothe and Sebastian Keitel. The books are available in most good book shops or online at Amazon.
