A Fresh Take on Mother’s Day

With spring around the corner, Mother’s Day is perfectly timed for fresh blooms, brighter days, and the promise of new beginnings. But this year, we’re going beyond the flowers and chocolates; we're giving Mother’s Day a whole new, fresh take! 

Celebrating the Women Who Shape Us

Mother's Day isn't only about celebrating biological mothers; it's a day to honour all the women who have played a maternal role in our lives. Whether it's a grandmother, an aunt, a mentor, or a friend who has been like a mother, this day is an opportunity to express gratitude for their love and support. And, in true Twinings fashion, we’re here to give you some simple ways to do just that.

The Power of Tea

In our fast-paced lives, it's easy to overlook the simple joy of gathering around a table and sharing moments with our loved ones. Commensality, the act of eating and drinking together, holds a unique power to strengthen bonds and create memories. So, whilst sending flowers or a gift is a lovely way to show them you care, why not embrace the beauty of this tradition by sitting down for a heartfelt conversation over a cuppa? 

Tea has long been associated with comfort, warmth, and connection. A cup of tea can really bring people together and give us a chance to slow down with the ones we love. Take the time this Mother's Day to savour some of these simple pleasures in a fresh, new way.

1. Breakfast in Bed

  1. Instead of a traditional brunch, why not plan a breakfast picnic, either in the garden or in your local park? Pack a picnic with plenty of delicious pastries, juice, biscuits, and bacon sandwiches, and don’t forget to pack that flask of tea. Or why not level up your picnic with one of our sparkling tea recipes, full of spring ingredients? 

Gift her picnic in our Brighter Breakfast Hamper. 

2. Sunday Lunch with Love

Make her lunch. Either invite your mum round or make Sunday lunch for her at home. Prepare the table with fresh flowers and create a delicious lunch for you and your loved ones to share. Include all her favourites, and be sure to leave the kitchen spotless when you’re done. No mum wants to be cleaning on Mother’s Day. 

And, why not leave the kitchen extra clean with the addition of our Cosy Country Kitchen Hamper. The ideal gift.

3. Walk and Talk

A great way to share time together is with a walk. Head to your favourite spot, bring a cup of tea in your KeepCups or plan your route with a pit stop in mind.

And, as your gift, pair your walk and talk with her very own Keepcup and Superblends wellbeing collection teas. Shop here.

4. Letter of Appreciation

Take the time to write a heartfelt note expressing your gratitude and love. This is a great way to share specific memories and the things admire most about her —especially if it feels hard to put into words. It's a simple yet profound way to make her feel truly appreciated. 

Pop the letter in our Greatest Start to the Day Gift Box, which is full of delicious teas and treats. 

5. Mindful Moment

Mindfulness is the gift that keeps on giving. So why not gift her some mindful moments?

Set a quiet space for her to relax with some a scented candle, a blanket, and a cup of tea. Encourage her to try a guided meditation or breathwork exercises to unwind. You can even include a little notebook as part of her gift so she can try some mindful journaling. End her relaxation with a warm bath, a hot cup of tea, and some soothing music. 

Accompany her mindful moment with our Wellbeing Collection Gift Box. 

This Mother's Day, let's break away from the ordinary and embrace the extraordinary moments that truly matter. These simple ways help to celebrate the women who have shaped your life and encourage you to press pause and share some simple joys over Sunday lunch, a cup of tea, or a delicious breakfast.
