Mother's Day falls this Sunday and though we hardly need an occasion to celebrate our lovely mams, it's still an excuse to show them how much they mean to us.
From my experience, most Irish mammies hate a fuss - maintaining that a nice cuppa will suffice - but marking the day with a food box from one of her fave local restaurants is a surefire way to win you some brownie points.
Set the table, swap the milky tea for some bubbles and present her with a feast she won't forget in a hurry.
Here are 15 different Mother's Day meal kit options to choose from.
Toons Bridge Dairy
A collab between Toons Bridge Dairy and Neighbourhood Wine, the Mother's Day kit includes a mix of cheese, charcuterie and five cannoli - accompanied by one bottle of white and one bottle of red. Divine.

Pulling out all the stops, Tang's Mother's Day bunch box even comes with a beautiful bunch of dried flowers from Shop the Garden. Two birds, one stone.

The Butcher Grill
Designed to feed a family of four, The Butcher Grill has only one rule when it comes to prepping their take-home feast and that is - "No mothers allowed in the kitchen unless to top up their prosecco".

Hoping to cater to many different tastes, Two Pups has a couple of different options to choose from - including their famous French toast kits, a Mother's Day cake box full of delicious treats, and their weekly supper club (which includes a starter, main and dessert).

Network
Order a Mother's Day brunch box from Network and they'll throw in flowers, chocolates and a handwritten card too which is
extremely sound of them I think you'll agree.

Bake Delicious
Not necessarily a meal kit, this one is for the more sweet-inclined. Nothing says love like personalised cupcakes.

Woodruff
Catering to two or four people, Woodruff's Mother's Day meal kit has apple and blackcurrant crumble on the menu... so that's me sold.

Berman and Wallace
Letting the kiddos prep breakfast in bed may sound like more hassle than it's worth, but Berman and Wallace have put together a handy kit that makes it a relatively straightforward process. All mammies appreciate the luxury of a lie-in.

Asador
Perhaps a fancy Sunday tipple sounds more like what you had in mind? Asador has a champagne and cocktail gift set that includes a mini Moet bottle, two pink margaritas and two espresso martinis. So tell your mam to don her gladrags and enjoy.

Another spot with Afternoon Tea on the menu, The Old Orchard Inn's offering comes complete with a cake stand and a choice between two cocktails (the vintage tea party cocktails or the bellini box cocktails). Notions eleven.
