Good Afternoon Lovelies, 

Mother’s Day is coming up and there is nothing like a handmade gift! Whether it be a card, gift or better yet a cake, I always think when someone has taken the time to actually make you something there is so much more love in it. It feels more personal!

Every year, I like to treat my mum to a goodie bag of gifts full of films, bath bits, magazines and a homemade coffee and walnut cake, as they are her favourites. In fact, it is pretty much always a cake filled day aha, as she starts with croissants, before going on to cakes and biscuits. All of which I like to make with good presentation and fun tools.

This year, I will definitely be making her the same cake, but with the help of Handmade at Amazon, who have some amazing options to store the cake and make the cake in. I mentioned a few items from them the other day on my Amazon guide, but I wanted to share more on how they can help you bake the perfect treats for your mum this mother’s day.

Whether you are making them with her, with your kids to celebrate the day or with fellow family members, you will definitely need to pick up these great items to help make the day even more perfect…

These brilliant gifts will make for a fancy day, which has that handmade charm to them, as Handmade at Amazon have made sure that all of their gifts are made with care and attention. I am seriously debating whether to buy my mum the cake tin to store her coffee and walnut cake lovelies because I think it will look so fancy in our kitchen and remind her of the big day. Plus, it will mean that she can tell everyone to stay away from it.
