Who would have thought that shortly after Mother's Day last year we would find ourselves in the throes of a whole year of juggling work, homeschooling, not seeing our friends and family and having to come up with endless ways to keep the family busy at home? One thing's for sure, for Mother's Day 2021 we DEFINITELY deserve something spesh. Our advice: hand this Mother's Day gift guide to the kiddos/person in charge of the prezzie buying, stat. It's full of gorgeous ideas from some of our fave small businesses, and we've even got some special discount codes lined up for London for Kidz readers. And when they're done ordering us all the lovely things, they can head over to your guide to Mother's Day afternoon tea delivery AND to our DIY Mother's Day gift guide. #wewanttobespoilt
