Harlow Mother's Day Present Ideas
Cards: Harlow now boasts a large selection of card shops so you have a wide choice when it comes to choosing your Mother's Day card. With quality greeting cards at very affordable prices, you may have a bit if trouble choosing that perfect card for Mum!
Flowers: The favourite gift for millions of kids around the world is a beautiful bunch of Mother's Day flowers. There are several florists & flower shops in Harlow, but make sure you order early as they become very busy in the lead up to Mum's big day. As an alternative to flowers, you could also consider buying Mum a plant from one of the Harlow garden centres instead.
Perfume: Mum's favourite perfume as a Mother's Day gift is another option. Available from any of the Harlow perfume shops in the town as well as such stores as Boots chemists and Superdrug.
Chocolates: Most Mum's have a sweet tooth and what better way to show your love and appreciation with a box of Mother's Day chocolates. Not only will you find a Thornton's chocolate shop in the Harvey Shopping Centre, but many of the Harlow supermarkets like Asda and Tesco offer chocolates already gift wrapped for you. While you are there, pop into the wines and spirits section for Mums favourite alcohol drink or tipple, or really splash out on a bottle of the finest Champagne!
Cakes: Another lovely surprise and idea for Mum on Mother's Day is a special celebration cake. Again, with several Supermarkets and a large Marks & Spencer department store, you can buy one already boxed, or alternatively have one specially made at the your local Harlow bakers shop or delicatessen.
Jewellery: Dotted around the town centre there are several Harlow jewellers, being stockists of high quality silver, gold, diamonds or a coloured precious stone. Mum would love anything such as a pair of earrings, a necklace, a watch, a bracelet or a ring as a Mother's Day gift! Who wouldn't? If jewellery is not her cup of tea though, how about a lovely crystal ornament or clock, which you can find it all Harlow jewellers as they now sell a whole range of fabulous gift ideas.
Music: With several music shops in Harlow at the Water Gardens, why not choose a CD of Mum's favourite artist, band or group as Mother's Day Gift. Her favourite film on DVD would also make a good choice of present.
Personalised Gifts: A growing trend in Mother's Day gifts is the ultimate gift of a personalised present with a special message from the family, the children, or even the pets! Rachel's Wrappers, a promotional items company, offers a gift service providing delicious milk chocolate bars with your personalised message printed on one of their beautiful wrapper designs. Just choose your wrapper, send them your message, and your Mother's Day gift will be delivered to you or direct to Mum's door.
Sunday Lunch: Why not treat Mum to a lovely Mother's Day Sunday lunch in one of the fantastic choice of Harlow restaurants? From the traditional Beefeater at Harlow Mill, the Water Margin Chinese restaurant in the town centre, the Miller & Carter Steakhouse near the M11 junction, to Indian Moments in Cawley Hatch, Harlow has a wide variety of restaurants from which to choose to suit all budgets on Mother's Day and throughout the year.
Short Break/ Holidays: Any Mum deserves a break, so why not give her the ultimate gift of a short or long break as a Mother's Day gift. There are always several special offers to be found at any of the many Harlow travel agents and there is always someone on hand to help and give you the best advice, just walk straight in!
Shows at The Harlow Playhouse: Boasting one of the most popular entertainment theatres in Essex, tickets for one of the several shows on all year round at The Harlow Playhouse would make a lovely treat for any Mum. Whether it's singing, dancing, or perhaps a theatrical drama, what a great present idea from any son or daughter on Mother's Day.

Shopping Gift Ideas: If you are not too sure what to buy Mum for her Mother's Day present, why not take a look around the many clothes shops in the Harvey Centre, or outside in the Town Square in Harlow. If you cannot decide what to buy you could always buy a clothes voucher so Mum can decide for herself!
