Shoppers can explore their family background and reconnect with relatives with the kits, which are currently £43 for Mother’s Day
With Mother’s Day rapidly approaching, many of us are looking for the ideal present for the maternal figure in our lives. Whilst classic gifts like flowers, sweets or an afternoon tea out are favourites for many of us for a reason, those looking for something a bit different can snag a bargain on a DNA kit which gives recipients the opportunity to discover their own heritage – perfect for anyone interested in delving into their ancestry.
MyHeritage gives users the chance to investigate their family tree, reveal ethnic backgrounds going back generations and establish connections with relatives they might not even be aware of. Perfect for those wanting to present a thoughtful gift, it’s the present that continues giving long after bouquets have faded or chocolates been eaten.
Usually £79, MyHeritage’s DNA kit is currently £36 plus postage, giving bargain hunters a £43 saving in a better-than-half-price offer. This kit enables Mum to trace her heritage across 2,114 regions, whilst also providing the chance to locate new family members through matching DNA.
There’s also currently an offer available in time for Mother’s Day that features everything mentioned above, along with a 30-day free trial to the MyHeritage platform that allows people to further investigate their family background and tree, along with access to photo features and the ability to browse an impressive 39 billion historical documents.
Family historians are definitely well-provided for this Mother’s Day. Alongside the £36 MyHeritage deal, Ancestry has reduced their family history package to £49 plus postage. Meanwhile, at 23andMe shoppers can save up to 55% off kits with the brand’s basic ancestry service now £88, reports the Express.
