Shophandmadeuk's Mother's Day Gift Guide 2023
Mothering Sunday - Sunday 19th March 2023.
Mother's Day is a day to celebrate the loving bond between mother and child. But it can be a sensitive subject and time for many, some who can't be a mother, some who have lost their mother, etc. I think this day should be used to celebrate the 'mother like figure' in your life, whether that is your mum, auntie, grandma, sister, cousin or friend. It should be spent with someone who inspires you to be your best self, someone who is there for you when you need it most, at the happy times and the low times.
Of course you don't need to spend money to show someone you care but if you do want to show your appreciation then here are a few gift ideas you could purchase for that special woman in your life.
Shopping small is so important, now more than ever. Let's support the individuals who make and sell their own handcrafted items... items made with blood, sweat, tears and a whole load of love. Let's help small businesses as much as we can because when you purchase from a small business an actual person does a happy dance! Ask any of us, it's true! I promise! You can also find some great priced items from small businesses too, so even if you are on a tight budget you can still shop small!

This Mother's Day remember: Buy one of one, not one of one million!

I aim to capture in my work, the moments of joy when you're out exploring and come across a wild bloom in the hedgerow or wings in the sky, the magic of new growth in spring or seed heads left behind in autumn and winter.
