With Mother’s Day fast approaching it’s time for all us children to think about what our mum’s would like as a little gift.

Sadly for me my mum is longer with us, so personally it’s not something I have to think about, but I have 2 kids of my own and they always splash their cash on a little present for me. I have to shop around for something for my husband’s mum as he doesn’t have any idea about what she likes and would end up with a last minute gift of a bunch of flowers from the garage!!

From a personal point of view I’m especially keen on silver rings and have quite a large collection. It doesn’t have to be expensive, just a style that I like. To me a little ring from one of the shops on the High Street is just as precious as an expensive jewellery shop, because it’s the fact that they have taken the time out to go and buy me something.

Funnily enough last year they both gave me silver earrings. For children they have fairly good taste in women’s jewellery, definitely something that has rubbed off from me.

It’s a pity the same can’t be said of the presents they got their dad last year for Father’s Day. They both chose men’s jewellery for him, and in all honesty neither piece was something my husband would wear.This year they are thinking of getting him some tools to use around the home, that would certainly keep him out of mischief. Or better still something to do with his precious golf clubs. I have never met anybody so keen on a sport. In fact the only time my husband doesn’t go out on the golf course is when it is shut due to thunder and lightning.

Having said all that, I had better ensure he hasn’t gone and booked any golf on Mother’s Day. Although the children may stretch their pocket money to buying me a present, hubby is the one who cooks the breakfast as there is no way the children would be let loose in my kitchen.
