Halesworth’s pedestrianised Thoroughfare and the Market Place are a delight to mooch around whilst shopping for special gifts. Packed full of unique and independent shops, whether you are looking for something a little bit different or something traditional, you will be sure to find it here. Our knowledgeable shop keepers offers a friendly service and are always happy to offer suggestions and advice – something you just don’t get online! Support your local shop this Mother’s Day.
If Mum loves flowers, the Halesworth Florist in the Thoroughfare is an excellent choice. With specialist bouquets, ready-picked blooms, house plants, decorative plant pots and a delicious selection of hand finished chocolates & other goodies, you are sure to find something she will love. You can even put together a lovely hamper, pictured here. For perfect plonk or some bottled beers or ciders, pay a visit to Peter at Bacchus Beyond, or Tom at the Tap room – both will be very happy to advise you. For a jewellery-loving Mum, sparkly presents can be found at Denson’s Jewellers or AWD Goldsmiths. Give the gift of peace and quiet with a brand new book from the Halesworth Bookshop. If fashion or homewares are more her thing then The Marketplace Artisan Store, Boho & Blyth, Gecko Shoes or Huus Living have a beautiful range of gifts from locally produced artwork, jewellery, accessories, fashion, shoes, handbags, to lifestyle gifts, kitchen & homeware with some special items just for Mothers Day – like the ones pictured here from Boho & Blyth.
If you are treating Mum to a meal out, then the Angel, the White Hart, the Golf Club and Farmhouse Bakery all have special Mother’s Day menus available. For something more relaxed then how about a burger at the Tap Room or tea at Chinny’s. If you are going the extra mile and preparing a meal for Mum yourself the Allen’s Butchers and Melons Greengrocers have a top quality selection of meat, cheese, fruit and veg and more. The Spar or the Coop will no doubt have everything else you may need. If a quiet night is in order so Mum can put her feet up, then why not grab a delicious takeaway – choose from Indian, Thai, Chinese, pizzas, kebabs or good old fish n chips. If you think Mum would appreciate a foodie gift, then fresh pastries or cakes from one of Halesworth’s bakeries or deli’s could hit the spot – Black Dog Deli, Focus Organic, Tudor Bakehouse, Rhubarb & Rose or Farmhouse Bakery all have an amazing selection which are baked daily – just look at the cookies and cake pictured here from Farmhouse Bakery – yum!
