It’s her special day

By Tania Martin
THE time to show your mum how much you appreciate and care for her has come around again with Mother’s Day on Sunday, 14 May.
Mother’s Day is time to spoil your mother with chocolates, flowers, gifts and even give her breakfast in bed.
The history of the day originates in the time of ancient Greeks where festivities were held to honour Rhea, the mother of the gods.
The early Christians celebrated the mother’s festival on the fourth Sunday of Lent to honour Mary, the mother of Christ.
Since those early festivities, Mother’s Day has grown as a global day of appreciation for everything that mothers do for their children during the year.
When looking for that perfect gift for Mother’s Day, think about providing your mum with a total relaxation package.
Buy her some massage oils or a pamper basket with soaps and bath salts.
Chocolates, flowers and perfume are always popular gift ideas.
Or why not go all out and buy your mother a gift voucher for a day of pampering at a day spa?
Whatever the gift, Mother’s Day is a day for returning a mother’s love and care.
Mother’s Day is a time for mums to put up their feet and ask for that much needed foot rub or just find the time to relax and unwind.
