As if you needed a reminder, tomorrow is Mother's Day and you know what that means. Yup, being woken up extra early to be inundated with homemade crafts and (an inedible) breakfast in bed. Aww bless their little cotton socks.
Apart from gifts made out of painted toilet rolls, what do mums really want for Mother's Day? Research carried out by Ovenclean, a cleaning company in the UK, has revealed the top five gifts that mamas would most like to receive tomorrow. And no, it doesn't include a clean oven...
5th Place - Jewellery
Diamonds are a girl’s best friend, right? Well, we’re not saying it has to be diamonds, but with 10% of mums voting for Jewellery it’s safe to say that this would be a good choice.
4th Place - Beauty/Spa Treatment
Not many women would say no to beauty and spa treatment, so it’s not surprising that 11% voted to receive this gift, putting it in 4th place.
3rd Place - Experience (such as theatre or afternoon tea)
Experiences and time spent with family is priceless, which may be why a day experience was a popular choice, scoring 14% of mother’s votes.
2nd Place - Gift Voucher
What do you get the mum who has it all? Choice, it would seem, as 15% of mothers would opt to receive a gift voucher to spend in their favourite store.
The Winner - Perfume
Beating off the competition by just 1%, perfume was voted as the gift that most mums would most like to receive on their special day, accumulating 16% of votes.
Other gifts that narrowly missed out on a place in the top five included hair and beauty products, (9%), a holiday or a night away (9%), home or garden items (5%), clothing (7%) or accessories, such as a handbag (6%).
Good luck to all the mamas in the gift and sleep lottery tomorrow.
