If you’re looking for a special way to celebrate Mother’s Day this year, Aberdeen-based business Platter is here to help you serve up something meaningful.

One of the hardest things that we’ve had to come to terms with over the last twelve months is having monumental milestones and important dates pass us by without celebration—at least, a celebration involving more than a handful of people. Still, that doesn't mean that these days can’t feel special in their own way; and there’s one Scottish business that’s on a mission to make Mother’s Day 2021 on Sunday March 14th a lovely experience for all.

Born in Aberdeen, Platter is known throughout the country for its breathtaking and imitable grazing boards and tables. The company has been offering deliveries of its delectable serves throughout lockdown, which has proven to be a surefire it amongst locals looking to elevate their at-home weekend plans, as well as those looking to send an edible gift (in our opinion, the best kind of gift) to someone special.

True to form, for Mother’s Day, Platter has created some truly beautiful spreads for that special woman in your life, be it your mum, your grandmother, an aunt, a family member, a mentor, or a friend. As with all of Platter’s grazing deliveries, these are sure to sell out fast, so scroll below to see the impressive Mother’s Day line-up, then click through to purchase your favourite Mother’s Day gift.
