HAVE you got your Mother’s Day gifts yet?
If not, you aren’t alone- but local sellers are here to save the day.
Mother’s Day isn’t until next Sunday (14th March) meaning you still have a week you get your mum something she will really love.
Best of all, if you buy from any of these listings you will be supporting an independent business during this difficult time.
From flowers to bathbombs, here are some gifts from local sellers that would be perfect for Mother’s Day.
Flowers
Flowers are a classic Mother’s Day gift that you can never get wrong.
Instead of nipping to the nearest Tesco or Asda for some last minute flowers, why don’t you support a local florist?
Efflorescence Florist, Napier Street in Barrow is just one great place to consider shopping for your mum this year.
They are currently takin orders and are here to save the day for panicked shoppers who have left their purchases to the last minute.
For Mother’s Day, they recommend a handtied Bouquet, a gift box or even a potted plant for the most important woman of your life.
Their gift bouquets start from £20 and you can find out more on their website or Facebook page.
Special Occasions, Crenlin Street
This popular independent is well-loved in the local community.
They also have a whole section on their website dedicated to Mother’s Day.
In this section, you will find teddies, wine glasses, bath bombs and even some signature jewellery pieces.
However, one gift that stands out is a personalised ceramic plaque that reads: “Close together and far apart we will always be connected by heart.”

This would be a particularly heart-warming gift for those who haven’t seen their mothers during lockdown.
Local delivery is available or you can use their newly introduced click and collect service.
Bumblebee at the Hive, Scott Street

This shop sells everything from memory boxes to home décor- so you’re guaranteed to find something for your mum.
If you prefer to put cash in a card instead of giving a gift then this company still has you covered.
They even stock this quirky plaque that reads: “Being a mother is learning strengths you didn’t know you had and dealing with fears you didn’t know existed.”

They have a selection of unique Mother’s Day cards that your mum is unlikely to received from any of your other siblings.
They are £3.25 each.

A bath bomb hamper
If you want to find something quirky and unique, the first place you should visit is Etsy.
BeeBeautifulLtd is a Barrow seller who has made quite a name for themselves on the platform.
They have a 5/5 rating and have secured over 15,000 sales during their time on the platform.
Luckily for you, the family-run business is selling this Mother’s Day hamper.
It’s £9.99 and includes a bath bomb collection, a keyring and a ‘Mum’ coaster.
