As we slowly crawl into a sunny spring (we’re feeling optimistic), the annual realisation that Mother’s Day is just a few weeks away is about to boost the sales of hampers, flowers and fragrances across the country.
Halloween, Valentine’s Day… while there’s plenty of cynicism about annual events some feel are simply designed to get consumers to spend more money, it’s pretty hard to argue with a day devoted to bigging up the women who raised us. Granted, this shouldn’t be confined to a single day, but it’s certainly a good place to start.
