5 Reasons Why Mum is the Best
With Mother’s Day falling on Sunday 11th March (so early this year! Is it in your diary?), it only seems fit we take this opportunity to celebrate mums everywhere. Not only did these wonderful women give us life, but their guidance and influence helped shape us into the people we are today. Who else would teach us that experimenting with hair bleaching ends only in tears or that an apple a day is what keeps the doctor away? For their worldly advice and silly anecdotes to unique little quirks and mannerisms, we wouldn’t have our mums any other way (most of the time ). In anticipation of this year’s occasion, we sent out a survey…
Tips for New Mums
Mother’s Day is a great excuse for us to sing the praises of the latest mum from our department here at Red Letter Days. Hayley left recently to have her second daughter, and baby Charlotte was a big hit when she came into the office recently, with Hayley and big sister Annabelle. It goes without saying we abandoned our desks and Hayley and the girls became the centre of attention. Charlotte slept on despite a chorus of cooing around her, Annabelle showed us her funky shoes and excitedly announced that she would be 4 the following day. Hayley showed the calm and patience she is famous for as we sat her down for…
What Do Mothers Want?
Maybe she’s your confidante and your conscience gauge; perhaps she’s both mentor and tormentor; your biggest critic and most loyal fan. What about money lender, chauffeur, adviser, babysitter, and a thousand ever-changing roles throughout your life? This year, Mothering Sunday (or Mother’s Day) falls on 26th March. (We know how important a date it is, which is why we’ve dedicated a whole selection of Mother’s Day Presents to the occasion!) But what’s the best way to show her your gratitude? Since Mother’s Day comes round only once a year, we wondered if a cup of tea in bed, a £1.50 card and a vague promise to behave really cuts the mustard these days. In…
Mother’s Day Gift Ideas
Mothering Sunday originated as a Christian celebration to honour the Virgin Mary. Every year Mother’s Day is held on the fourth Sunday in Lent, exactly three weeks before Easter.

Fear not, we have got relaxing, luxurious and unique Mother’s Day gift ideas for you to make your mum’s day a special one this year and ensure she has the ultimate #RLDMums Day Off.
#MakingMemories – The Best Shared Moments with Parents
At Red Letter Days, our business is all about providing memorable experiences for friends and family to share. The team here on the blog often invite their loved ones on experiences, like when Brooke took her mum for gourmet dining at The Benefit and the York and Albany. That spirit of giving back to our parents is what makes Mother’s Day or Father’s Day so special. But why keep the spirit down to two days? Seems far too insignificant for the remaining 363 days of the year. AND it doesn’t always have to be material. Precious moments spent with parents live on past the cards we send on Mother’s Day, blog posts about family…
