Quite frankly, if you haven’t got any idea by now what you are going to buy your Mother for Mothers Day this Sunday, then you are leaving it a bit late!

Obviously the easiest thing is to go and get some flowers, or if you don’t want to be that cheesy then you could always ask her. But most mothers will say nothing special, just a little something. But after all the years that they have looked after you, they deserve something special!

And that is why I am suggesting that you give the gift of an experience! Think about it, rather than traipsing around shops on Saturday scratching your head and wishing you could find some inspiration, why not give your mother something that will be a long held memory?

Makes sense to me… something you don’t have to think too hard about, but one that will be cherished. And if you get something for two, she may invite you along too! (But no guarantees that she won’t ask a friend along instead).

My number one choice would be a Spa Day treat – which Mum doesn’t deserve a bit of pampering and relaxation? Starting at just £30 or so you could get anything from a pamper treat choice right up to exclusive trips away at health resorts.

Here’s a selection of what is available on Amazon right now:

• Over 650 pampering gift experiences for either one or two people to choose from at venues across the UK

If a Spa Day or treatment is not suitable, then why not opt for an afternoon tea for two, where you can experience a trip out to taste luxury sandwiches, scones and cakes in a choice of settings.

You may want to opt for a meal. This Taste of Italy from Buyagift may remind your Mum of that romantic Tuscan holiday that seems like oh so long ago now.

Or perhaps a Steam Train Ride will evoke distant memories of happy days.

As you can see, there is a huge choice of things that you could purchase as gift experiences. Names to look out for are Buyagift and Red Letter Days.

So go on, prove what a great child you are, treat that special lady to something meaningful for a change, and make life easy for you at the same time.
