MOTHER'S Day is just around the corner.

Inevitably this year will be a little different due to coronavirus restrictions.

Many of us will not be able to see our mums in person, but that doesn't mean we can't celebrate.

Our amazing mothers need celebrating today more than ever.

This year's Mother's Day is Sunday, March 14 - just so you don't forget.

But what is the best way to treat mum during lockdown?

There are few better options than a traditional afternoon tea.

There's lots of businesses offering takeaway or delivery afternoon teas in lockdown.

Here are a few:

Tiptree Patisserie

Tiptree Patisserie, part of Wilkin and Sons, has adapted its business to deliver afternoon tea boxes to Essex residents during the UK-wide lockdowns.

Thousands have been delivered over the past year.

But Mother's Day will probably be the busiest day of the year for the firm.

Boxes include the firm’s famous Tiptree strawberry jam as well as cakes, biscuits and scones.

Some packages also include some delicious cupcakes too, or you can get a brownie box if you think your mum will enjoy something sweeter.

There's a special Mother's Day cookie available.

Prices start from £20 and delivery as well as vouchers are also available.
