Read the full storyThis Mother’s Day, we pause to celebrate the incredible women who shape our lives with their love, care, and endless support. Whether they are mothers, grandmothers, stepmothers, or motherly figures, these special women deserve to be recognised for everything they do, both the little things and the big sacrifices made without hesitation.
Mother’s Day is more than just cards and flowers. It’s a chance to say "thank you" for the advice shared over countless cups of tea, the words of encouragement when things get tough, and the quiet strength that keeps families together. It’s about celebrating those warm memories and the simple moments that mean the most.
Whether you're planning a family lunch, sending a heartfelt gift, or simply picking up the phone for a long chat, the most important part is letting Mum know just how much she’s appreciated. A handwritten note, a small act of kindness, or time spent together can mean more than the grandest gesture.
Shopping locally is another great way to show love this Mother’s Day. Local businesses offer beautiful, thoughtful gifts and experiences, and every purchase helps strengthen the community, something Mum would no doubt be proud of.
No matter how you choose to celebrate, take the time to remind the mother figures in your life just how valued and loved they are. After all, where would we be without them?
To all the mums and mother figures — we thank you, we celebrate you, and we wish you a very happy upcoming Mother’s Day.
