That all important Mother’s Day is coming up and not long to go as well. Still looking for ideas or indecisive about what to get your deserving mum? Then you will be glad that ‘The Liverpool Line’ has compiled a list for you of the five best and ideal places to treat your mum on Sunday. (yes, that’s this Sunday…you best hurry…)
1. Cake shop in Aigburth: As nice as flowers are, for a special occasion such as ‘Mother’s Day’ it takes something unique to show your appreciation for your special mother. Personalised and or specially decorated, a little cake goes far and sugar can just about delight any day so this is why we recommend visiting Aigburth’s ‘The Cake Boutique’ which is making all kinds of cakes especially for ‘Mother’s Day’. With cupcakes starting from as little as £4.99, shop worker Angela told us “the competitive prices” is one of the reasons this is the perfect location to pick out a cake for your mum.

2. Spa: Being a mother can heap its rewards but taking a break from all the duties and tasks it brings on ‘Mother’s Day’ is possibly every mothers wish. This is why a day at the spa would never go a waste and therefore we recommend booking some time out (for your mum) at the Olympus Health Club & Spa. Situated in the city centre, it means you are not too far from away from town for any other errands.

3. Take her shopping and for lunch: Mother’s Day could also just mean that your mum just wants to spend time with her children and or family, so taking her for a simple day out for shopping and lunch will more than meet her desires/wishes.
Liverpool has a unique shopping centre in the rather impressive Liverpool One. During the day, you could plan a few surprises and even buy her a few gifts.
Figure out her favourite shops and tease her with the idea of buying that handbag or those shoes she has been looking out for…before wrapping it up for her in a gift set and heading out for some relaxing afternoon lunch, in one of the many city centre eating places/restaurants.
4. Cook for her: And if you do not fancy eating out, a cooked meal is just as appreciated as Liverpool mother Catherine told us: “We are also cooking her (mum) big fancy 3 course meal, which is a tradition in our family on Mother’s day. My daughter has also apparently picked me a surprise, however she is not yet two so I think my family have orchestrated that one. It is lovely being a mum on mother’s day, you feel really loved, and I like spending time with both my mother and daughter on it.”
5. Restaurant: A family meal at the newly re-opened Everyman Bistro restaurant could also go down as a treat this Sunday.
The Everyman Bistro restaurant is offering a menu with a “feast of culture”. (Liverpool Echo quote) You can choose from a variety of courses, including a two meal course for £14.95. As part of a Mother’s Day deal any Bistro visitors who order the day’s special menu will be able to book tickets to see the new play, Hope Place, showing at the Everyman theatre, costing £10 for performances between Friday 9th and May 13th.

Liverpool student Emily Rice says the experience of taking her mother out is wonderful for Mother’s Day and enjoys as a treat for her mum. Emily said: “meals are good because it’s a nice relaxed way to spend time together and it’s nice to be able to treat my mum instead of the other way around.
My sister and I have taken her out for a meal before and it turned out really well and she was happy” she added.
