With Mother’s Day just around the corner, it’s the perfect time to celebrate all those wonderful ‘mum figures’ in your life and give them a little something back.

The Hunts Post have teamed up with St Ives business Box of Hugs to give one lucky mum figure the opportunity to win a ‘box of huugs’ delivered in time for Mother’s Day.

“As a growing business run by three sisters, family is at the centre of everything we do and our mum is a constant source of inspiration to us,” said Sophie, from Box of Hugs.

“From raising five children whilst running her own business with our dad, to overcoming major brain surgery in 2009 with some lasting side effects, to now at 71 still running every morning, volunteering and not to mention the childcare and dog walking stints.”

“There’s something so lovely and uplifting about receiving an unexpected package in the post,” said Lucy from Box of Hugs.

“The default gift is often a bunch of flowers, which is lovely of course, but with a Box of Hugs you can send something a bit different, a bit more personal and that lasts.”

We’d love you to share with us your stories of why you’re mum; grandmother, wife, aunt, sister or mum friend is amazing to you and deserves to win a Box of Hugs, just in time for Mother’s Day (March 31).
