All Mums want for Mother’s Day is a nice lie-in

*Remunerated Post*

This Mother’s Day is going to be a very different one for so many around the world. It is taking place under extraordinary circumstances and, with so many families making the right choice by staying indoors and self-isolating, nipping out to find a present isn’t as simple.

I have to admit that it was never about the gifts for me. My kids are gifts enough – as is the fact that I am lucky enough to still have my mum in my life. Thank goodness too for technology as I fully intend to Facetime her tomorrow. Fortunately, new research has shown that UK Mums are in agreement with me and aren’t actually fussed about expensive presents.

Show mum you care

According to a study conducted by British skincare brand, Sudocrem, it’s the little things that count when you’re showing us Mums that you care. Smaller gestures like letting her sleep in a little longer, watching a film she likes, or have a soak in the tub can be worth their weight in gold.

the all important lie-in

Of the 1,000 mums who were surveyed, 94% said they would love 8 hours of sleep this Mother’s Day, 80% said a long bath would be wonderful and 51% suggested a lock on the bathroom door. A further 66% said they would love a personalised gift and 47% said they would enjoy not having to share their stuff for a day. An hilarious 63% of mums also said that they would appreciate a pelvic floor for Mother’s Day.

What do figures like this show us? Being a mum is tough and having a baby can mean waving goodbye to luxuries like personal space, privacy and a good night’s sleep. Showing your appreciation for mum can sometimes be about putting yourself in her shoes. 77% of the women surveyed said that they’d really appreciate some adult conversation this Mother’s Day – it’s an easy gift, easy on the wallet too.

Taking inspiration from real mums, this year Sudocrem have created “Mum’s Little Sudocrem”, a limited-edition pot that can be purchased in Boots and Tesco. I am pleased to say that I already have some and featured it in my recent Mother’s Day gift guide. If you want to design your own, it’s also possible to use the personalised Sudocrem portal.

Alice Bamford, Sudocrem brand manager commented:

Personal space becomes a luxury when you’re a parent and even more so over the next few months. Mum’s Little Sudocrem is a pot just for mums to use, away from sticky fingers.”

From the makers of Britain’s favourite nappy cream, Mum’s Little Sudocrem can be used for a variety of things. Whether it’s to soothe dry patches of skin, an annoying spot, shaving irritation, or even dry hands from too much hand sanitiser! Whatever the need is, this little pot of soothing magic cream, made especially for mums, is your bit of “ahhhhh”…
