To Mum, with Love...

March 2006

Mother's Day only comes around once a year and when you think about it, it's not really often enough to say thank you for all the love and attention given over the years. So, how do you show your mum you care and here's a hint, it's not with a bunch of flowers from the 24-hour garage! With a myriad of ideal gifts under one roof, Fishpools could be the answer to your Mother's Day dilemma.

The store's extensive accessories departments are a veritable Aladdin's Cave when it comes to beautiful trinkets and treasures that will make your mum's day.

First thing you need to do is decide on the type of gifts that your mum has loved in the past because as I'm sure we're all well aware when it comes to mums, one size certainly doesn't fit all! Where some mums would shudder at the thought of being bought something practical, others would see an extravagant gift as pure frippery! It's not easy but hopefully you'll have enough years experience to know what gifts mum loves or loathes.

For the more practical mum out there you're probably best off heading for Fishpools' Cookshop where an abundance of beautiful but practical gifts can be found. Choose from ranges by Le Creuset and Kitchencraft, among others.

The China Department will also be a good area for those shopping for more practical mums but let's not forget that practical doesn't have to be boring and when you see new ranges by the ever popular Denby, you'll see why.

And if you're buying china a good way of presenting it on Mother's Day is by using them to present either breakfast in bed or the perfect Sunday lunch ...and don't forget to do the washing up!!

For the less practical mum there is a huge range of more poignant gifts. One of Fishpools most popular products in the Gift shop is the Cuddles sculpture. The contemporary art piece portrays a mother figure being hugged by a child - what could be more perfect for Mother's Day?

The range of pottery at Fishpools will also make the perfect gift. New lines by Poole Pottery proved to be a hit with customers over the Christmas period and the mini vases, available in a beautiful combination of vivid colours, will be the perfect vessel for essential Mother's Day flowers. For the more traditional Mum our range of classic pottery pieces, including the 'Circles of Love' gift set, should prove to be an excellent choice.

Another ideal gift that not only looks good but smells wonderful too is our array of fragranced candles. Available in a selection of scents, Rose Petal and Purple Gerbera from Port Meirion, a favourite style candle in glass jars which are great for this time of year when the night's sky is at that funny stage of being neither light nor dark.

Our accessories departments are full of wonderful extras from beautiful jewellery boxes to perfume bottles and sequined bags. So whatever category your mum fits into, you're sure to find something to suit.
