How to make your Mother’s Day


Winter is now behind us and Easter is just on the horizon. Daffodils are in bloom, lambs are in the fields and the days are looking just that little bit sunnier and are slowly getting longer.

March brings us Mothering Sunday, on the 30th just in case you need a little reminder! 

Although it may not seem like a day to associate with self storage, it is a day devoted to your mother and we are always finding new ways to show the ones we love that we care. It’s usually shown through a beautiful card or a big bunch of Spring flowers, but what about something different this year?

For those of you that already have a storage unit, what better way to show your mother or grandmother that you care by taking a trip down memory lane. Get out those old photos and home videos and reminisce on old times. It can be great fun and gets everyone in the family involved. You could collect your old photos and scan them to make a digital memory or find your old bits of school artwork and get them framed for her.

Alternatively, perhaps a good declutter and tidy might make your mother’s day? You did move out of her house years ago but there are still the odd bits and bobs you left behind that you knew you would come and pick up eventually. You’ve been using her spare bedroom as a storage unit and now it is perhaps time to get a storage unit of your own. Our smaller units, such as a 35 sq ft unit, would easily fit those bits of furniture left in her garage and those boxes of CDs under her spare bed that you just can’t throw away. You may even have a little extra room to put those extra priceless belongings that are still in her attic.

So, we would like to know how will you make your Mother’s Day this year?
