Today on the blog, Charis Sharpe, our guest blogger, is having a look at some awesome Oxford indies to help you make Mother’s Day extra special for your Mum this year.


With Mother’s Day fast approaching (it’s on Sunday 26th) if you are wondering where to take

your mum or are stumped on where to get a thoughtful gift or gorgeous flowers we’ve done

the legwork for you…

Pick up a beautiful bouquet from Jane Gandon at Bicycle Blooms on the Magdalen Road

Or the lovely Daisies in Jericho

Or choose from the wonderful selections in the Covered Market at The Garden of Oxford or

Jemini.

Now that you’ve got the flowers pop along to A Rosie Life Store for one of Rosie’s yummy

candles or a treat from her new bath & body range?

If you want to pick up some beautiful jewellery or a gorgeous piece of homeware head to the

High Street to visit the newly opened Babylon Trading or Podarok.

Once you’ve got the flowers and gift sorted you just need to decide where to eat… if you’re

planning a brunch date head to the Handle Bar, this hidden gem will hit the spot!

If you’re meeting your mum for coffee and cake then you simply cannot go wrong with

Barefoot, their cakes are delicious, the sizes are generous & who can resist sipping a latte

out of a china tea cup?

Lastly, if you fancy a Sunday lunch treat try the Turl Street Kitchen or the Magdalen Arms,

both do an amazing roast, just be warned that you could end up in a food coma…!

I’m really passionate about Independent Oxford and supporting and promoting independent businesses in Oxfordshire. Indie businesses are the life blood of our towns, cities and communities, but they need support to survive and thrive. Creating a network that provides a space for indies to find peer support, knowledge and information is so important, and means businesses are far more likely to continue. Supporting indies means a stronger local economy and a closer, inclusive community for all.
