Unfortunately for me my mum is no longer with us, so it’s something I don’t have to worry about, but I have 2 children of my own and they always get me a little gift. I also have to get something for my husband’s mum as he doesn’t have a clue and would probably end up at the last minute getting her a bunch of flowers from the local 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 cost a fortune, just be in a style that I like.   I am more than happy with a little ring from one of the High Street shops because to me it’s not about how much was spent, but the fact that they actually took the time to get me something.

Funnily enough last year they both gave me silver earrings.   For kids they do have pretty good taste in ladies jewellery, so something good must have rubbed off from me.

The same can’t be said for the presents they got for their dad on Father’s Day last year.  They both chose men’s jewellery for him, and in all honesty neither piece was something my husband would wear.You never know, perhaps this year they might get him some tools he could use around the house – that would definitely keep him happy.  If it was something to do with his precious golf clubs he would be even happier. I have never met anyone who is so keen on their sport.  My other half is out playing golf in all weathers, in fact the only time he doesn’t go out is when it is thunder and lightning and the golf course is shut.

With all that in mind I have better make sure he hasn’t planned a golf game for 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.
