Florist shops in Cookstown and Magherafelt are incredibly colourful at this time of the year with a huge selection of bouquets ranging in price for sale.

Local gift shops and card shops are also gearing up for a busy few days as the search for that 'special something' intensifies.

If you are stuck for a gift idea a Mid Ulster Gift Card is worth considering as it supports local high streets and main streets.

The card is valid in more than 200 local, independent businesses, and gives you great choice, from food to fashion. Further details are available from the Mid Ulster District Council website.

A number of activities are also taking place across the Mid Ulster Council area to coincide with the occasion.

At the Burnavon Theatre in Cookstown there's a Mother's Day Boxed Framed Artwork Activity. Suitable for ages 8+

What better way for a child to express their love on Mother's Day than to create their very own special personalised framed sentiments.

Using colourful die-cut shapes i.e. hearts for love, flowers for a garden, each child will design and create their own picture selecting their own message to add to their own unique artwork before it is presented in a box frame to take home.

This event is taking place as part of the Mid Ulster Arts Showcase which will run from March 1-31.

At Hill of The O'Neill & Ranfurly House in Dungannon for a Mother's Day Crafted Glass Workshop with Lina Morgan from A Misty Kind of Blue, which is also part of the Arts Showcase.

Why not show your mum some love this Mother's Day with a colourful hanging mobile. You can lovingly paint acrylic discs and shapes with glass paint that will then be artfully attached to a golden hoop with aluminium wire - create a unique decoration handmade with love!

So, whatever you decide to do, have a good time!
