Mother’s Day is coming up again this year with just a few weeks to go until Sunday the 10th of February – the date this year’s Mothering Sunday falls on. With a short time left until the big date (one that sneaks up on you), it can be stressful trying to find a special, interesting gift – not to worry, for the Arcade has everything you need.
The obvious first stop would have to be Card Shack – can you guess what you can get there? That’s right – Card Shack is the Arcade’s home of independent card art. With a massive range of independent and local artists providing designs for cards for all occasions – including, of course, Mother’s Day! Card Shack go beyond cards though, with striking wrapping paper options, and gift ideas like mixed sweet jars with special messages.

For more gift ideas, there are plenty of other unique, independent shops in our Grade-II* listed shopping Arcade.
Take, for instance, Afro Street – a designer boutique offering Afro-Caribbean inspired designer clothes and luxury goods. If your mum or mother figure is of Afro-Caribbean heritage, it could be a wonderful, thoughtful gift to get her a beautiful piece from Afro Street’s range – but anyone could appreciate the other products Afro Street has, from unique spirits to imaginative jewellery.
Speaking of jewellery, The Arcade is also home to Silver Scene – a jewellery boutique specialised in hand-made sterling silver jewellery. Whether your mum would want a ring, a necklace, a bracelet or something else, Silver Scene has something beautiful for everyone, from plain silver, to stone-embedded – or even special sets.
Some mums might be more interested in an experience – perhaps a beauty treatment? At the Arcade, we have five different beauticians with a host of specialisms: for your nails, there’s the cracking Kelly’s Nails, or for hair we have the masterful Milanese Hair Salon. For eyebrow threading, head to the excellent Maya’s Eyebrows, and there’s the superb Smmmile for cosmetic dentistry. For everything else, from facials to eyelashes and waxing, there’s the brilliant Beauty Zone.
Whatever your plan is for Mother’s Day is, you can get what you need at the Arcade!
