It’s just over a week until Mother’s Day so I’ve put together a little gift guide to help anyone out there who’s stuck for ideas (that includes you Hubby!)
With this dull, winter weather we’re having brightening up the house with some beautiful flowers from Beards & Daisies could be the perfect gift for your loved one.
Beards & Daisies kindly gifted me ‘The Clemmie’ bouquet and it has to be one of my favourite bunched of flowers I’ve received to date. They really are beautiful. If you want to order flowers and guarantee they will be delivered even if no one is home, Beards & Daisies offer letterbox flowers.
If you fancy ordering a bunch for someone they have kindly given me a code to share with you that gets you £10 off your order. Simply enter ‘MOTHERS DAY‘ (capitals, 2 words) at the checkout. They also offer free delivery!
Of course I couldn’t write a Mother’s Day gift guide without including my new slogan sweatshirts! If your mum/partner and whoever you’re buying for drinks Coffee, Tea or Wine, then they would most like appreciate my new slogans.
As a little treat here’s to my readers here’s a 10% code off the new range. Enter code MOTHERSDAY10 at the checkout to get your discount. Please note, I do not have every style/size in stock but can order in. If you are concerned about receiving in time for Mother’s Day please email me and with your order and we can discuss the best option. (Either ordering something I have in stock, or receiving a voucher to give your loved one to order a sweatshirt themselves.) As a tired mum I’ve become a little obsessed with decent make up and skincare products. There’s a few brands I’m obsessing over at the moment and would make lovely gifts for Mother’s Day.
Clarins Beauty Flash Balm is one of my favourite skincare products. I either use it under my make up as a primer or as a mask before bed. It’s one of the only products I’ve used that I can genuinely see helps my improve the look of my skin.
I’m also obsessed with brand The Ordinary at the moment. I’ve got so many of their products (shhhh… don’t tell my other half). Actually they are so well priced it doesn’t break the bank when you stock up, so go for it, have a splurge! I buy mine from Cult Beauty or ASOS.
One of my favourite make up brands at the moment, and another brand that won’t break the bank, is NYX. If the person you’re buying for loves make up then you could certainly buy them a selection of these products. My fave items at the moment are these 2 eyeshadow palettes which you can buy from Cult Beauty or ASOS. (Only £8 each!)
Mums tend to like an alcoholic drink every now and then… I certainly do! I love a decent gin & tonic and Fever-Tree tonic is my fave brand at the moment. Their Elderflower tonic is lush. I actually saw this set in Aldi this morning and I’m pretty sure it was only £8! So if she loves gin, then head to your local Aldi and grab this bargain.
If you ask any mum what she wants for Mother’s Day, most of the time they will say ‘peace and quiet’. So what about organising a quiet night in. Maybe take the kids to Grandmas to stay and give her a ‘night off’. Some candles, bubblebath, prosecco and treats.
Another gift idea could be a new print for the house. My lovely friend Beth sells gorgeous print over on her shop Freddie & Co and this family print is lush.
One thing I have been really lusting after is a Neal’s Yard Aromatherapy diffuser and essential oils. My friend has one and every time I’m at her house and she’s using it, I instantly feel relaxed. So if you’re reading this hubby (which is unlikely) you know what to buy me!
Finally, Grace Cole sent me a couple of their products to try and OMG they are delicious. They kindly sent me a Wild Fig & Pink Cedar fragrant candle and relaxing bath soak which smell so lovely. These products are beautifully packages and would make such a lovely gift for someone on other’s Day.
That’s it for my Mother’s Day gift guide this year. I hope I’ve inspired you! And please make use of the fab discount codes if you fancy some flowers or one of my *amazing* sweatshirts!
Happy Shopping!
