So we asked our facebook fans whether we should do a Mothers Day Gift Guide or not. Part of me thinks its all a bit of a commercial cop out (despite believing whole-heartedly that our mum's deserve some acknowledgment) however the overwhelming reply was YES, do a gift guide. So here goes. We've tried to make it entertaining and witty so its a bit funny as well as trying to provide some affordable gift options should you choose to shop with us for your SUPERCOOL mum!
