My new website of the week is Bizzy Balloons. The name for this online shop says it all – a one stop balloon shop, busy with ideas for presents to suit plenty of occasions.

I love finding little niche gift shops online and I have just discovered a real gem. Sallyjo.co.uk is a lovely boutique offering gifts hampers as beautiful presents for lovely ladies.
Choose from a selection of gorgeous gifts, or select a ready made hamper if you are spoilt for choice and can’t make up your mind.

Many mum’s love nothing better than pottering around in the garden. Especially if they have retired, as it is a very popular hobby.
If your mum is an avid garden potterer, what better gift than this girly pink Garden Kit for Mother’s Day or her birthday.

I bought my own mum this Name A Rose gift set for her birthday last year and realised what a fabulous gift idea it was for Mother’s Day and too.
Rather than get a bunch of flowers that’ll last a few days, get her a rose that’ll last forever!

I think original artwork is a fantastic gift idea – it is something that can provide enjoyment and last for years. Nowadays you can buy original paintings online and for a fraction of the cost than buying from a gallery.
Roy Kruse’s work caught my eye recently, especially the snow scenes, a perfect seasonal portrait.
