The last year has brought new challenges for many of us, with financial insecurity, health anxiety and social isolation becoming the norm. Few have been impacted more heavily than mums and parents, who in addition to the above have had to take on essential new roles – including homeschool teacher and family hairdresser.  That’s why, this Mother’s Day, we want to repay mums, parents, caregivers and mother-figures across the UK for all the hard work and additional unpaid labour they have taken on this year. If you want to join us in showing your gratitude, here are a few helpful things you can do to repay them for all that…

Unsurprisingly, more than half of us have received unwanted gifts, according to a survey by Finder.com. Whether it’s a loud jumper from your gran or a helmet from Dad for the bicycle you sold two years ago, some Christmas presents just don’t hit the mark. These well-meaning gifts can be expensive too; the average unsuitable gift costs £47.10 and we receive an average of three every year.
