Moonpig to the rescue for Mother's Day gifts

If you still haven't sorted Mother's Day, you can get a last minute reprieve with Moonpig.com. If fact, order by 2pm Saturday and they'll have your gift delivered on Sunday leaving you glowing in glory, so even the last-minute dad's out there have got no excuse really.

I went along to their Spring/Summer showcase last week and was treated to a tea-tasting session with The English Tea Company and a bouquet master-class with aptly named in-house florist 'Aster'.

You'll be forgiven for thinking Moonpig just sell personalised photo cards, but nowadays they do a whole lot more.  From stunning floral displays of English flowers, to bespoke looking hampers bursting with products from some of the country's hippest independent producers.

Here's a few of my favourite products to get you in the mood.

Fairtrade Sunshine Bouquet £35:

Show mum you care about others with this sunny yellow fairly traded bunch of sunshine.

British Grown Tulips £25:

A gloriously colourful hand-tied bouquet of 25 spring tulips grown in the UK.

Meg Rivers Cookie Tin £12:

A wonderful vintage style tin, bursting with lemon and ginger biscuits made by artisan bakery Meg Rivers.  I sampled some of these and they are perfectly crumbly, old-fashioned shortbread biscuits made with stem ginger and fresh lemon.  Such a homely gift.

English Tea Shop Classic Collection: £6

A selection of four of the best loved organic teas - English Breakfast, Earl Grey, Peppermint and Rooibos.  Talking to the people behind The English Tea Shop their passion for quality was clear.

Hope & Greenwood Tuck Box £25:

Let mum re-live her youth with this retro styled candy-stripe selection of old skool favourites. You had me at sugar mice and cola bottles! 

There's so much to choose from I think you'd be surprised.  If you haven't checked out Moonpig lately, you're in for a bit of an eye-opener.
