Foodie Shopping Spree

I know it has been a few weeks since Mother's Day but I absolutely loved shopping for presents for my mum and went into some of my favourite shops. Whenever I buy presents for my close family and friends, it is always hard to choose what to buy as I want to buy everything for them, but realistically that would not fit into my budget! Sometimes I buy a couple of lovely items and other times I prefer doing hamper-style presents where you buy a nice bag or basket and get little pieces to go in it.

Last year I bought mum a spa voucher so this year, I decided to buy something different but there is a slight theme in her presents and no surprises the theme was FOOD! I went into M&S and John Lewis as they are two of my favourite shops and my mum and I have similar tastes so I bought things I would like as I know she loves them too!

In John Lewis, I picked up a beautiful little wooden crate that had fudge, lemon curd, stem ginger biscuits, orange whiskey marmalade and strawberry and champagne jam. I also found some cute chocolates that spell out LOVE so put them in my basket also!

I then went to M&S in search of Turkish Delight which is a family favourite treat! I also found some Swiss chocolates which I couldn't resist, so they fell in my basket also! Mum loved all her presents and laughed at the foodie theme, and asked me if I thought she wasn't eating enough!
