The long awaited big day is arriving, and after all that planning it is guaranteed to go without a hitch.

Mother's Day is the perfect time to show your Mum exactly how special she is... and we're not talking about a bunch of wilting carnations from the local garage, or a bottle of wine from your kitchen! Now's the opportunity to put some real thought and effort into thanking your Mum for all those years...

Of all the big questions in the world - what is the meaning of life? Why are we here? Who ate the last Hobnob? - There's only one that needs no explanation and that is 'why is my mum so fab?' Mums just are - they feed and water us, spend years cleaning up after us, drive us about to parties in our t...

Women, they're amazing aren't they? They're wonderful. Mums are great at making you feel better when you're down, sisters always know how to make you laugh and girlfriends are obviously great at all of the above. When it comes to making them happy though, how high do you score? How well do you k...

To some it is an art-form, to others it's almost all but dead; yet no matter if you're love's young dream or an old romantic at heart, romance is here to stay.

Mums have long been recognised as being out of this world - imagine year upon year of cleaning, ferrying, chivvying and generally showering you and your siblings with all the love and support you need to grow into adults... and even now you are probably taking home your washing every Saturday and ra...

A mother's work is never done! Seriously, it isn't. There's an old saying that cleaning the house while the kids are around is like shovelling snow while it's still snowing and it's true. If there isn't house work to be done, someone wants a lift somewhere or you have to do over time at work, so pre...

Does the world of Mothers Day Gifts leave you perplexed? Would you admit perhaps that you've never gone out of your way for your mum? Have you - dare we suggest - never treated your mum for Mother's Day? Do you even kn...

Given that Valentine's Day is meant to be a time when people celebrate their love and surrender to all things romantic, February 14th can be a surprisingly difficult time of year for anyone. Singletons dread it and many couples seem to fall out over it; but even the most ardent fans of Valentine's D...
06 February 2009

No matter what the occasion, it's always important for us to make that special person in our lives feel loved and cherished. The giving of special Romantic Gifts really isn't just something to be done on Valentine'...

With Valentine's Day just around the corner, it's time to get those thinking caps on and look for the best ways of reminding that special someone just how much you really love them and as we all know, but rarely ever admit to it, those

There is little that today's woman needs more than a chance to put her feet up. Women really do it all these days. They work hard, study hard, help family members constantly, keep themselves fit and pretty and even find the time to make you laugh. They're practically magic really. They do so muc...

With Christmas excess and New Year hedonism fading away, our thoughts now turn to the celebrations of 2009 - all of which are a perfect occasion to mark and enjoy everything that's important in life, such as friends and family. Of course, no one could be more important than your mum, which is why Mo...

Isn't it ironic that Mothers Day is all about showing our emotions and expressing our love for the person who brought us into the world, yet we often feel embarrassed to show how we feel? We fumble our way through, snatching a Mother's Day card from the local shop and maybe grabbing a bunch of roses...

Some people call it sentimental, others prefer the term 'reminiscing' and then there are those unfortunate few who think mums simply don't need any excuse at all to get the old embarrassing photographs out; and always at the most inappropriate times. We've all had the awful haircuts that she thought...
12 February 2009

Whether your mother is a bit of a meddler, or has embarrassed you on more occasions than you care to remember, there's no denying that whatever she does, she's still the one person you know will love you unconditionally. Mothering Sunday is that time of year where people all across the country celeb...
13 February 2009

We've probably all been a bit guilty of not putting in the effort when it comes to Valentine's Day, and it's easy to think of it as just another event in the calendar that has been taken over by the retailers. But, in these darker economic climes, perhaps we should be a little bit more grateful for ...

It's unlikely you'll ever have sat down and thought about it before, but what exactly does the word 'mum' mean to you? Very often it's the first word we utter as we learn to speak, in any one of its many variations, whether it is mummy, mum, mam, mom, mama... But as we grow up we begin to learn its ...

It can feel awful knowing that you could have got your girlfriend or wife something so much better for her birthday. It's even worse when someone else has got her something you know that she loves more and which puts your present in the shade. If you want to show her that she's the most importan...
17 February 2009

We all tend to take them for granted from time-to-time, and we probably don't ever tell them we love them quite as often as we should do; but Mothering Sunday is the perfect opportunity to make amends and remind the number one woman in your life just exactly what she means to you. A bunch of flowers...

We could never say that we aren't spoilt for choice when it comes to greetings cards, there seems to be a card for every special occasion these days, and even for those occasions that might not be quite so special – has anyone ever actually bought a 'Congratulations on Passing Your Medical Test' car...

Dancing is romantic. It's sensual, it has a vigour and a life all of its own. Whether you're interested in sophisticated tango, glamorous salsa and ballroom or some down to earth street styles, it can take your breath away to watch it and to do it. Most girls love dancing, it's the rhythm, the m...

When it comes to 18th Birthday Gifts, we all like to think that we've got a bit of a reputation for getting it just right; granted this may be a case of self-delusion in some cases, but the key to gett...
19 February 2009

What do mothers, girlfriends and sisters all have in common? No, it's not a joke and the answer isn't a female tendency to nag. It's actually their love of the words 'pamper', 'relax' and 'indulge.' The reason for this is simple. These days, women are overworked. They're nothing short of superhuman....
19 February 2009

No matter what the occasion, the giving of gifts is a serious business that individuals trivialize at their own risk. After all, giving gifts that really impress can leave the recipient with an amazing feeling and warm ...

If you've ever known what it feels like to have someone forget your birthday, or if you've ever really wondered how much that special someone cares, then you'll know that the expression 'It's the thought that counts' really does ring true.

Whoever you are, there are probably several men in your life who you have to buy gifts for at various times of the year.

Birthdays and anniversaries are celebrated in different ways around the world and can be extremely flamboyant or subdued events. Weddings are celebrated in a variety of ways to...
23 February 2009

Boyfriends are infamous for forgetting important days. They'll forget anniversaries, think about nothing but food over Christmas (so you end up with a bottle of perfume and a candy cane) and if you didn't remind them how old you're getting, they'd probably forget your birthday too. You have an advan...

Anniversaries are special occasions; no matter whether it's in celebration of a marriage, or a celebration of two people meeting one another for the first time, remembering these special days are what life is all about.

Thanks to the rise in the popularity of auction sites, there are now so many different opportunities for buying and selling gifts, getting rid of unwanted rubbish that's been laying around in the loft for years, and even finding the odd valuable antique or two. After all, when it comes to the buying...
25 February 2009

I have no idea why, but there always seems to be a spate of weddings around spring time. Everyone wants to get married when the blossom is just appearing on the trees, when the world is emerging from a cold and miserably damp winter. It must be something to do with fresh hope, new green shoots sprou...

As the seasons change everyone who is fond of gardening has several tasks to do. There's seedlings to grow, plants to care for, pests to thwart and then of course, come harvest time there might be some fruits or veggies to pick. Gardening itself can be a rewarding and relaxing pastime for many p...

She is the most important woman in our lives to each and every one of us. She is the one who built us, fed us, sat up all night with us when we were ill. This amazing woman would still put us first, given the choice and would lay down her life for us in the blink of an eye without a doubt. The bond ...
26 February 2009

One thing that's definitely true about life is that we never get anything for nothing. Whether it is money, fame or success in all its shapes and forms, we really do have to work hard to earn it, which includes influencing those around us. The same very much goes for our own personal relationships. ...

Mother's Day is coming up again in March and this year you have an opportunity to really put a smile on your Mum's face.
