What's everyone's take on how commercial Mothers Day is?
In answer to your question......in past years I have made my mum a card........done her picture albums and discs of the places we have visited each time we have gone on a trip.......done a Journal for her......all very personal gifts with very little financial outlay....and of no interest or use to any other mother.

This year I bought her a couple of books that she wanted.......and we took the trip to Whitby......we had our lunch out, but we would have been doing that anyway. So I don't feel that our celebration of Mothering Sunday was particularly commercialised.
