“My mother had a great deal of trouble with me, but I think she enjoyed it.” - Mark Twain
If you think Dad is tough (he's a pussycat really), meet the real boss of the house. Yes, that's your MUM. The brains of the whole operation - without her, does anything really work?
There since the day you were born (obviously), she is the one person who is proud of you no matter what you do, how well you do it and who you do it with! You turn to her without a simmer of doubt of her loyalty. Whatever you need, whenever you need it, mum is only a phone call away. Mums are blessed with the only true undivided love we all crave. She's always encouraging and you can be sure that she wants you to succeed or be just YOU.
So without any further ado, whatever the occasion, your mum will appreciate the extra effort you put into making her the real apple of your eye and she only deserves the best. That's because she is the best!

The 'ONE' gift a mum WILL ALWAYS love you for
An engraved pendant, with special photo (of her when she was younger, the whole family, you together, or even just you). An item to truly treasure, forever!
Only a Mother can...
Show your bath-time photos of you to all your friends.
Ask you to explain how to use technology, again, and again and again!
Get you to clean your room, 4 times a day.
Smack you before you have even answered her question.
Ground you for proving them wrong in an argument. Hey!
Love a good old gossip with your friends.
Know everything that is going to happen, before it even happened.
Save children's lives with Facebook status updates.
Exaggerate your achievements to other mums.
Be on a mission to make you eat more vegetables.
Be sexier than you in the gym.
Most of all, know exactly what time you got home, even when she is asleep!
Buying gifts for mothers
So in summary mothers fall into two categories: the ones who are easy to please (yippee) and the ones who aren't easily impressed (you can't really blame them).
The Easily Pleased are happy with a sweet phone call, some flowers or some chocolates, but you may have your work cut out with the Not So Easily Pleased, who expect designer labels, the latest trends and a heavy price tag.
We will leave it with you then, but don't forget: Mum only deserves the very best gift!
