Let’s get one thing straight: Mother’s Day is not optional. This is the woman who wiped your ermm face, bought your school shoes, and still brings a Tupperware of leftovers whenever she visits. And what do we give her in return? Stress, WhatsApp notifications at 1am, and the occasional bunch of limp daffodils from the Shell garage.
No. This year, be better. Start with a decent card.
A Mother’s Day card should do two things: make her smile, and briefly forget that you once vomited on her new M&S bedding. Ours say things like:
– “Thanks for pretending I’m normal.”
– “Sorry I cost you 18 years of sleep and your pelvic floor.”
– “You’re the best mum in the world. Don’t tell Karen.”
Whether your mum is a prosecco-sipping saint or the type who still irons her tea towels, we’ve got a card that’ll hit the mark. Don’t leave it too late either—Royal Mail doesn’t care about your guilt.And remember: if she says “You don’t have to get me anything,” she’s lying.
