A Newcastle shop specialising in Geordie-inspired cards and gifts says the run-up to Mother's Day has been busier than Christmas as canny bairns look to celebrate their mams.
Geordie Gifts, based in the Grainger Market, has been hugely popular since it opened in 2017 thanks to its souvenir items, like mugs and keyrings featuring northern slogans.

The 33-year-old from Wallsend said: "It's been crazy. It is busier than Christmas!
