We know mums are superheroes every day of the year, but Mother’s Day on March 19 gives us the chance to show our appreciation on a day that’s just for her, whether that’s by buying her a special gift, treating her to a meal, or just bringing her a cup of tea and a couple of her favourite biccies in bed in the morning!
So, whether it’s your mum, granny, step mum, friend or guardian, make the one who’s always there for you feel extra special with a little help from Festival Place.
Mum me time
Sometimes, treating mum to some time out can be more valuable than a present she can unwrap. Mums can have their hair done at Hair Lab and Milan Hairdressing, and our beauty salons offer everything from new nails and lash extensions to facials, massages and skin treatments. Check out Sia Beauty, Apple Nail & Beauty, Laser Clinics and Destination Skin.
Choc full of love
If mum loves chocolate, then she’s sure to fall for the Mother’s Day H-Box (£14.95) from Hotel Chocolat. With its sunny packaging and selection of 14 irresistible truffles, tipples and filled chocolates, the H-Box is a winning Mother’s Day gift.
Flower power
You’ll find plenty to delight at M&S this Mother’s Day, from flowers to chocolates, and beauty buys to ornaments.
Lip service
The special lady in your life will love a new lip gloss – try a pretty plumping pink dust gloss from the Make Up Gallery, just £1 at Poundland.
Vue Point
Settle down in a comfy reclining leather seat at the fantastic Vue cinema, either before or after a meal in one of our great restaurants. Settle back and enjoy the heart-warming comedy Allelujah with Judi Dench and Jennifer Saunders, and afterwards, enjoy a meal at Cosy Club, where mums can enjoy a special Mum’s the Word cocktail and prosecco and raspberry posset.
Keep her sweet
Mums with a sweet tooth will love this glass jar full of flower-shaped fruity gummies, £7, at Next.
Give her your heart
This sterling silver Infinity Heart Charm is perfect for mum to add to a bracelet. The heart-shaped charm, with an engraving that reads “Love you Mum” is £20 at Pandora.
Light up her life
Next has lots of ideas for Mother’s Day. Most mums love a candle, so why not give her one that reminds her how much you love her every time she lights it? This Lovely Mum boxed candle is fragranced with lily, jasmine and honeysuckle and costs £8.
Make a splash
Active mums will find lots to enjoy at Basingstoke Sports Centre in the heart of Festival Place. This vast fitness, leisure and sports complex spread over seven floors has a huge 186-station mixed gym with functional training zone, two swimming pools, three squash courts, a 5-badminton court sports hall and a ladies-only gym ‘Shape’.
The gift of choice
If you’re stuck for inspiration, why not get mum a Festival Place Gift Card, which can be spent throughout the centre on anything from makeup to movies, fashion to food and gadgets to games? Buy one online at https://www.festivalplace.co.uk/giftcards or visit the Customer Lounge.
