Our guide to celebrating Mother’s Day with The Royal Exchange.

Mother’s Day. It’s a shout-out to the amazing women who shape our lives: do it with heart, here at The Royal Exchange. From the elegant boutiques of worldwide luxury to the best of British cuisine, you’ll find gifts and experiences a-plenty for crafting the greatest present of all — a memory that will last. Read on for our guide on how to make Mother’s Day truly unforgettable.

From Fortnum’s, enjoy a breath of fresh air in rustic, floral form with the English Garden Bouquet (pictured above). Or celebrate the Sunday in style with the Mother’s Day Delights Hamper: including a selection of teas and coffees, delectable Pistachio & Clotted Cream Biscuits and the delicate sweetness of Spanish Orange Blossom Honey. Savoury delights, too, such as Fortnum’s Original Cheese Sables and Amalthea Gin Olives rounded off by Prosecco Magnum or Amalthea Gin.

For a gift as stylish as it is versatile, Aspinal of London’s iconic Midi Mayfair Top Handle Bag “offers refined vintage styling with a contemporary flair, perfect for transitioning from weekday meetings to evening events.” As worn by the likes of Selena Gomez, Lily James, Jenna Coleman and Gigi Hadid, the bag is “handcrafted from the finest full-grain leather,” explains the brand, and “opens to unveil a luxurious grosgrain lining with a central zipped compartment and open pockets.”

This year, Montblanc has curated two distinctive collections of gifts for Mum that are “just as extraordinary as she is.” Explore the brand’s impressive range: one that runs from world-famous watches to luxury clutches and, of course, the writing instruments for which they are so renowned. Choose from a selection compiled for creativity — for those with a love of writing — and a list of the brand’s copper-bottomed icons: including a personalised Meisterstück.

This month, Bremont sings the praises of women who embody the spirit and tenacity of its guiding tagline: “Take it Further.” Like Ocean Ramsey, Bremont ambassador, marine biologist and shark and marine conservationist, whose inspiring work has drawn global interest and awareness for crucial ocean conservation and research — not least her mission to educate about shark behaviour and replace fear with scientific fact. She is pictured here wearing the Supermarine 300m.

Treat mum to the best, bar none at Fortnum’s Bar and Restaurant — set in our iconic central courtyard, this is possibly the best way in the City to while away an afternoon. For an extra special treat, join Fortnum’s for Afternoon Tea, where you can savour handmade scones, sandwiches and a selection of pastries, available Monday – Friday from 2.30pm – 4.30pm. Looking to raise a glass instead?
