Mums should know they’re appreciated all year round, but Mother’s Day is a great excuse to go all out and show her how much you care.
It may not be as easy as popping to the shops this year, but plenty of businesses in Sunderland are still open for click and collect or online orders and shopping local means you’re supporting the high street at the same time.
And if you received a Sunderland Gift Card for Christmas and you’ve yet to find something to spend it on, then why not use it to make sure your mum has a special day to remember?
