Bottle of bubbly

Prosecco Spumante Conegliano from Lidl.

Who doesn't love a bottle of bubbly, whether that's champagne, cava or prosecco? Mother's Day is a time to celebrate and nothing says celebrations like a bottle of fizz!

If you've got a Lidl supermarket close by they have some great options.

Irish jewelry

Beautiful Irish jewelry.

Claddagh, Celtic crosses, meaning Celtic symbols and contemporary modern Irish designs. Everyone loves a little bit of bling and your Mom will too. Perhaps this Mother's Day you can lift her spirits with some special Irish jewelry.

Irish chocolate

Before we get into any kind of debate, Irish chocolate is the best! Let's start with Cadbury and then we have the fancier brands like Lillie O'Briens and Butlers. Irish chocolate is loved around the world and a great way to say "I love you."
