When I was
a child every year just before Mother’s Day my sister and I would head to the
shops with our Mamgu to buy our mum a gift to go with the homemade card and
gift we had made together to give her on Mother’s Day. For a number of years in a row in-spite of
looking elsewhere we always ended up buying her a gift from The Body Shop,
creating a little family tradition of buying a gift from The Body Shop for
Mother’s Day.
Now
whenever I visit The Body Shop fond memories of browsing the store with my
sister and Mamgu looking for a gift for my lovely mum to give her for Mother’s
Day come flooding back. When I think of
The Body Shop I think of family, love and pampering.
Now that I
am a mum even though I do not need a gift for Mother’s Day as the cuddles, love
and joy I get from my son is gift even for me, remembering the excitement and
happiness I felt as a child to be able to pick a gift to give my mum on
Mother’s Day to help show her my love and make her feel special I realise how
important it can be for children to experience gift giving.
With the
fond memories I have of The Body Shop and love for their products I was
delighted when they sent us a gift set.
