It’s Mothering Sunday on the 3rd of April this year, so I thought I’d post a few quick ideas for those of you planning to buy something special. I’ve created a new section on Mimimyne for Personalised Gifts which has some great ideas for personalised gifts that any mother would love! Sally Walton’s beautiful Carry-a-bags can be personalised and for shoe-lovers there is a very cute Shoe bag as well as the perennially popular Mum’s Bag. I’ve also of course got a selection for Eco Gifts for Mum with some other lovely gift ideas.

I’d love to recommend my own mother Jocasta Innes’ wonderful book, The Country Kitchen, as well! Jocasta is happy to add a personal message and her signature when she sends you your copy. There really could be no more special gift for a fan of Jocasta Innes and her cookery books.
