Fun for All of the Family – Meal Kits to Do with the Kids

If you’re a mum looking for an activity to take part in with the kids this Mother’s Day but don’t quite have the time to organise anything – why would you, it is 2021 after all – how about checking out Franco Manca’s Pizza in the Post that has nationwide delivery? Not only it is convenient, but you can put your creative skills into practice and rustle up either a margherita or chorizo pizza, all the while creating Mother’s Day memories; it’s especially great to do with smaller kids.

What kid doesn’t like a burger? Shake Shack has just the ticket this Mother’s Day with its DIY Shake Burger Kit, meaning that a family of four can create its signature ShackBurger, all from the comfort of your own home. Both of these have nationwide delivery options.

Meanwhile if you live within a four-mile radius of Canary Wharf you can take part in that more dexterous activity that is ROKA’s Maki at Home kit where you can make its renowned rolls in your own kitchen. What’s more it comes complete with virtual instructions by its Canary Wharf head sushi chef, Satoshi; simply scan the QR code on the box.

One for Sweet Tooths

There’s nothing quite like hearing the doorbell ring and a gift arriving at the door, but as an alternative to a big bunch of flowers, in this case it’s okay to think inside rather than outside the box with Crosstown’s Mother’s Day Gift Box. Not only does it comprise of six doughnuts or cookies, but it includes a Natural Spa set and an Ohros candle, meaning that mum can treat herself to some much deserved ‘me-time’. And to make it that extra bit special, there’s also the option to add a bottle of sparkling rosé or a bottle of red or white wine to complete its luxury set.

Alternatively, if you are looking to really get the message across about how much you’re thinking of your mum this Mother’s Day, how about telling her by writing a personalised message on a box of half a dozen Krispy Kreme’s? Finally, Hotel Chocolat has a range of ideas; from its Happy Mother’s Day Sleekster Box to its Champagne Collection, she’s sure not to be disappointed. All are available for nationwide delivery.

Dinner and Dessert: Virtual Experiences

Special guests will be performing live soul hits while mothers across the country dine on its either its slow-cooked spring lamb, fish pie or a vegetarian dish, all the while washing it down with two gin and tonics and a bottle of Veuve Clicquot Rosé Champagne.

For an after-party activity – and further dessert – how about opting for this Mother’s Day Cupcake Dinner Kit from Lola’s Cupcakes, so you and your mum can decorate six freshly baked sponges with a variety of coloured icings, sprinkles and top with Mother’s Day themed adornments? Both are available for nationwide delivery.
