I love going for Afternoon Tea as I always find its a wonderful experience, but, what if your mother is like mine? She doesn’t like to go out of the house on a Sunday, as this is seen as a relax and chill day. So, why not make an Afternoon Tea style lunch for you both? Here are some ideas to help you with your upcoming Mothers day.
THOMAS FUDGE’S
Thomas Fudge’s have an indulgent selection of florentines,
Tip: The Belgian white chocolate Zesty Lemon
I suggest making a huge pot of tea or coffee if you prefer and enjoy the tastes of several sweet treats. Unless you are feeling bubbly and would prefer a glass or two of prosecco, then we won’t stop you.
Why not be extra fancy and serve on an afternoon tea stand as I did? I mean, after all, its the effort that counts.
You can purchase these delightful treats from your local supermarkets from as little as £2.50.
Lir discovery collection
Who doesn’t like chocolate, right? Why not splash on these Lir chocolates Discovery collection – Award-winning, indulgent handcrafted chocolates. 8 mouthwatering flavours awarded 2018 great taste award, your mother won’t be disappointed. Lir Chocolates takes pride in discovering new combinations to give you that surprise and delight in each bite. She may even let you try one, fingers crossed because they are unbelievable. My favourite was the dark chocolate torte:
“Vanilla from the South Pacific is set within a crisp dark chocolate shell in this rich intense dark chocolate torte.”
You can purchase these from your local supermarket from as little as £8.00
Popcorn Shed
Sometimes we don’t want to leave the house, especially on a Sunday. So, why not have a Movie day/night in. Accompanied by the best mouthwatering popcorn you have ever tasted. Do you prefer sweet or savoury? Popcorn Shed has you covered with several delicious flavours. My favourites were Pop’n’Choc and Salted Caramel. I really do have a sweet tooth though. I love how there are different flavours especially the cheese one, guess what? It’s actually really nice. Sometimes strange sounding combos are the best! Don’t be scared to taste outside your comfort zone, it’s all a part of the fun.

Creative Nature Superfoods
Creative Nature superfoods have the cutest tubs of Pink Himalayan crystal salt. Both can be used for multiple purposes from baths to cooking even sipping that fine martini. So, which ones best? It really depends on what you want to do with it. Coarse grade for baths and making your salt grinder look pretty. The Fine grade can be sprinkled on top of food, cocktail glasses or in a bath. Being a natural source of salt it’s reported that this contains 84 trace minerals found in the human body – not bad eh?
I love how each tub contains a timeline including ideas of how to use it and to prompt when to restock. I love a brand with a sense of humour and this brand certainly covers that. Even with a little warning about drinking responsibly only if you are over 18!
“Creative Natures Pink Himalayan Crystal Salt comes from ancient caves, deep in the Himalayan mountain range. it is salt in its purest form, unharmed by pollutants or toxins “
