With Mother's Day just over a week away, sons and daughters across Edinburgh will no doubt be scrambling around online or in-store trying to find a different kind of flowers or scented candle than they got last year.
We all know the struggle for Mother's Day every year. They say they don't need or want anything, but they secretly do. If you turn up without as much as a card then that's the day ruined already.
So, if you, like me, find it difficult to search for something that you have not gifted your mum in the past, why not think outside the box and visit the bargain buys aisle in either Lidl or Aldi.
