Surprise your mum with a relaxing spa day or treatment. Most places will have an array of pampering options to pick from. You could pre-book the full day at the spa, with access to the pool and sauna, or book a single session for a massage, pedicure, manicure or facial. And if you’re not sure what she would most appreciate, just get her a gift voucher so she can pick for herself.
