As much as your mum may well insist that a bunch of daffodils and a peck on the cheek is all she wanted this Mother's Day, the minimalist approach feels a tad pitiful.
Most mums deserve the Earth, and yet are so rarely treated to the max. Rather than opting for a traditional present, give your mum the gift of self-care this year by booking her in for an indulgent beauty treatment -from tension-easing massages and skin-saviour facials to indulgent pedicures and bouncy blow dries.
