Gift Focus - Jan/Feb 2018 (Issue 105)

giftfocus 25 mother’s day mamma mia Always a special time to appreciate the role of mums, on this day we also remember grandmothers, step-mums and mother- in-laws. It’s become the norm to arrange celebrations of Mother’s Day involving taking time to visit mum at home, or arranging an afternoon tea or even a pampering session. Cards and flowers are still overall the most popular gifts for this day, along with toiletries and little treats. However, amongst the most treasured items received are even the smallest of gifts from the younger family members. Better than chocolates, accompany a glass of something special with one of Gaeltag Keltika’s beautifully etched/metallic wine glasses featuring Megan Claire’s witty designs which RRP at just £14.99. Gaeltag will be showing at Spring Fair Hall 4, stand 4DO1.
