Our Mother is an angel – but she is not an easy person to buy gifts for. We're talking Mother's Day treats, how we feel about Hallmark holidays (do wedding anniversaries count?!) and what exactly our mum hated about the one (1!) facial she's ever had.

By the way, the face cream she swears by? That would be the Boots Traditional Skin Cream (RIP), for which there is a change.org petition we're not entirely convinced she didn't start herself.

Please, let us know how you feel about these types of days – and what you think of as a good Mother's Day present!
