Plan the perfect Mother’s Day with a third off British beef joints to create the perfect Sunday lunch and reductions on a range of top-notch gifts
With Mother’s Day just a week away, the countdown is on to find the perfect gift for the special mum in your life. Beauty treats are always a winner, but practical presents and delicious food are also very much appreciated.
Many will want to spend quality time with mums, step mums, grans, and aunties on Sunday, March 15. This year, Waitrose is making it simple with a third off British beef and 25% off delicious sides, ideal for a perfect Sunday roast.
And it’s not just about the food either. Waitrose is also offering a range of designer gifts for stylish mums, from upscale brands like Lulu Guinness, William Morris at Home, Cowshed and more.
One standout gift item is the Lulu Guinness Water Bottle. A stylish and practical accessory, the 0.5 litre metal-walled vacuum bottle features a multicoloured Guinness lips them theme making it a fun way to stay hydrated.
A popular choice with walkers, gym-goers and shoppers who are keeping an eye on their water intake, one shopper called it “a nice, quirky water bottle.” Another added: “I am a fan of Lulu Guinness. The water bottle was just what I was looking for. It is sturdy, the top fastened tightly so there are no leaks. Water is kept nice and cold.”
Pamper mum with money off food and gifts at Waitrose
Waitrose has a host of Mother’s Day gift options to consider, as well as food options for a celebratory Sunday lunch.
Some shoppers purchased the water bottle to go with the matching Lulu Guinness Tote Bag, which is sadly no longer available. As an alternative, though, the Sophia Webster Kaleidoscope of Butterflies Bag is a pretty choice and a bargain buy at £12.
Treat mum this Mother’s Day with the William Morris At Home Strawberry Thief Wash Bag (£12.80, down from £16), a stylish accessory that is perfect for travel. Or for new mums in need of rest, the Essential Sleep Duo (50ml Pillow Mist & 10ml Pulse Point Oil) is a blend of lavender, cedarwood, coriander, and vetiver, plus magnesium to help soothe and relax for a better night’s sleep.
For mums who like smellies, the Cowshed Travel Set (£18.75 down from £25), contains five miniature versions of the brand’s top-selling products. While everyday pampering begins with the Korres Sea Salt shower gel and body lotion duo reduced to £17.25 from £23, serving up a touch of top brand luxury to start the day.
Elsewhere, the Boots Mothers Day Beauty Box is offering £310 worth of designer goodies for £60. These include treats from Sol de Janeiro, Aveda, Rituals and Liz Earle. Marks and Spencer also has some top gifts on offer, including the Estee Lauder Dream Skin In One Sleep Skincare Gift Set for £45.
Returning to Waitrose, give mum something to look forward to after opening her gifts with great deals on roast beef dinners. Serve up grub she’ll be proud of, with 25% off sides including roast potatoes and cauliflower cheese and even money off the ever popular La Vieille Ferme Rose wine.
Waitrose has received excellent reviews on its food selection. One British beef purchaser, for example, commented: “This joint was excellent. Flavoursome, juicy and lovely both hot and cold.”
Meanwhile, a beef topside joint buyer noted: “Excellent beef, perfect for our roast Sunday lunch. The meat was extremely tender and lovely cold the next few days for sandwiches.” Someone else added: “It was delicious, succulent with a melt-in-your-mouth texture.”
Nevertheless, one customer mentioned it was a ‘little tough’ for their liking. On a more positive note, someone who appreciated the roasting joint commented: “I’ve been looking out for this since it was last on offer. It’s succulent and full of flavour.”
Another person observed: “A lovely joint full of flavour. No waste.”
