What is a unique gift for Mother's Day?
Why not replace the flowers and chocolates with something your mum will truly value: your time? Most mums rarely want superficial gifts and would rather spend quality time with their children. So, here is the list of our favourite things to do on Mother's Day with our mums.
Being in the beautiful counties of Suffolk and Norfolk, everyone at Tilley & Grace has contributed valuable ideas on their favourite things to do with their mum in the charming towns of Southwold, Aldeburgh and Woodbridge to help you with some inspiration for the big day.
Best things to do on Mother's Day in Suffolk
Suffolk is a county filled with natural beauty on the East coast of England. Here at Tilley & Grace, we love the glorious Suffolk coastline and think visiting it is a perfect way to spend Mother's Day.
Boat trips in Suffolk
We think the best Mother's Day should be made up of things you can do to create memories together. If your mum loves the sea and water as much as we do, why not book an experience for you both to share and never forget, like a boat trip? Many companies offer boat trip experiences, a perfect way to explore the coastline and spend quality time with each other.
Visit a Suffolk seaside town
If you and your mum would enjoy a day by the sea for Mother's Day, why not visit a Suffolk seaside town? These seaside towns are popular because of their instant charm and beautiful natural features.
If your mum is outdoorsy, the beach is perfect for walks and spending quality time together. Why not explore one of our favourite Suffolk seaside towns?
Aldeburgh
One of our favourite Suffolk seaside towns is Aldeburgh. Aldeburgh is world-renowned thanks to its rich cultural identity in music, history, art and literature. The pebbled Aldeburgh beach is dotted with charming pastel-coloured 19th-century holiday villas and is the perfect place to promenade on a beautiful Mothering Sunday. As you walk, you can enjoy looking at the fishing boats or visiting some art galleries, and you can't miss the giant scallop sculpture.
Once you've worked up an appetite on your seaside walk, why not treat your mum to a delicious Mother's Day meal? Aldeburgh fish and chips are famous for their outstanding fish and chips, which have had rave reviews from national publications. Or, opt for a sit-down meal as the perfect Mother's Day gift. Here is a list of the best Aldeburgh restaurants to enjoy this Mother's Day with your mum.
Southwold
Another favourite seaside town that we think is a delightful place to spend Mother's Day is Southwold. The sandy Southwold beach with beach-hut-lined promenade is the perfect place to spend a Sunday. Why not stroll along the Southwold pier as part of your Mother's Day activities? The pier stretches 190 metres into the sea and has various arcade games, amusements, eating places and shops to enjoy with your mum.
Woodbridge
Last but not least on our list of favourite towns in Suffolk is Woodbridge. Considered a 'gem' in the Suffolk crown, this town is a delightful place to spend Mother's Day. There is so much to do in Woodbridge. Whatever your mum's favourite thing is, you can choose indoor or outdoor activities.
Visit a Woodbridge museum.
Woodbridge has a deep and intriguing history. If your mum enjoys soaking up a town's history on a relaxing Sunday, taking her to the Woodbridge Museum is a thoughtful way to show you value her interests.
Best things to do on Mother's Day in Norfolk
In the north of East Anglia, you have Norfolk. With stunning coastlines, blue flag beaches and unspoiled countryside, Norfolk is the perfect place to spend quality time with your mum.
Stay in a Norfolk cottage
Whether you're local or coming from further afield, why not give your mum the ultimate Mother's Day gift that she deserves: a weekend away? Turn Mother's Day into a Mother's weekend retreat to really pamper her. Norfolk is a stunning destination to book a cottage and spend a memorable weekend with the world's best mum.
Visit the Norfolk coast
With 90 miles of pristine coastline, golden sands and soaring cliffs, the Norfolk coast is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with nature reserves, seaside resorts and family-friendly activities. Norfolk coast is the perfect destination to take your mum on Mother's Day for stunning walks and great places to eat and shop.
