How to Choose the Best Mother’s Day Gift

Let’s face it, shopping for that perfect gift on Mother’s Day can be very painful. 1.

That’s why they are spending tons of money on dinners and clothes. Instead of buying an expensive gift that your mom probably won’t ever use, take a look at the tips to help you pick out the right gift.

Mother’s Day is a very special day. 2. You should try to buy gifts that she truly loves. For example, choose gifts that areabout her favorite foods, childhood memories, hobbies, etc. This will not only show that you care, but your gift will also be meaningful.

2.Think about the good old days.

3. Whether you buy another set of clothes that she used to wear or put together a collection of old photos in a photo album can make her feel special. These are probably the best types of gifts to give if you can pull it off（圆满完成）.

4.Send her a handmade gift.

5. Sometimes, buying gifts can be a good choice on Mother’s Day. However, making a gift by hand shows the thought and care spent in giving the best gift for our mothers. Try something different like making her favourite food or knitting（编织）light blankets for the coming autumn season.

When you come to London for a trip, it's best to plan a day out so as to maximize（最大化）the number of things yon can see. Time permitting，we can offer advice by e-mail if there's anything you particularly want to see.

If you are only in London for a day, a weekend or a week, use our SHORT STAY pages where we show you how to fill as much into your days as possible.

The best season to come is late Summer or Autumn —— recently we have been having Indian Summers （秋季的小阳春天气）from mid-September to the end of October with clear blue skies and 20 degree temperatures. Finally the weather breaks as the storm fronts move in off the Atlantic, then clears up for Christmas. February to April can be terrible, and the weather is very unpredictable. Ask the Meteorological office here for facts and figures but they are so often wrong.

When it's raining there are plenty of museums and galleries to visit —— and the tube（地铁）system is generally very good outside of rush hour.

It's best for you to be near a tube station when choosing a hotel, because buses can be slow and unreliable（不可靠的）and taxis expensive. The yellow circle line on the tube map marks the division（分界线）between central and not-so-central London. Outside of that area your transport bill will rise. The best restaurants are in Islington and the southwest of London which is where the life is.
