Mother’s Day haul from Orla Kiely Covent Garden

Happy Mother’s Day to all you mum’s out there. Mother’s Day always comes so close to my son’s birthday and my own birthday that we don’t usually make a fuss about it. I love handmade cards and this year my children spoilt me with cards made at school.

I was a pretty lucky lady because yesterday we were in London for our London Duck Tours outing and I popped into the Orla Kiely shop in Covent Garden. My husband let me pick something for Mother’s Day and I chose a basket of goodies specially put together. There were two to choose from and I opted for the blue basket.

It contained a pretty hand spot flower towel in lemon and cream, large tonal striped mug, a lavender scented candle, Grow Your Own Chillies in an enamel pot and a tube of the Orange Caraway intense hand balm. This was all wrapped up in cellophane and came with a gorgeous Mother’s Day card.

As well as this lovely gift my 5 year old made me a handprint picture of me. As we walked home from school on Friday she asked me what colours my eyes were! I said they were green so she said she might have to change the card when we got home. Luckily she left it as it was because I love it.

My 7 year old also used his hands to make a lovely Mother’s Day card – two hands joined together with a little message inside. He put a lot of effort into it and I will treasure it.

Hope you all have a great day.
