Do cupcakes make a good Mother’s Day gift?
Absolutely! Who doesn’t love a cupcake?
Most mums will simply want your time, and anything else is a bonus – even more so when you come bringing cupcakes.
For some Mother’s Day gifts often include flowers, or a box of chocolates, so why not buck the trend with a box of decadent cupcakes?
Plus, cupcakes make a great gift as they can double up as being your own afternoon tea from the comfort of your own home, which is a winning formula in our books.
Cupcakes can vary in price, so they also make for an affordable gift for your mum especially for those on a budget. But let’s remember, it’s the thought that counts.
