Mother's Day gift guide!

So it's come around really quickly again, and this Sunday we will be celebrating Mother's Day. This year is going to be a special one because not only do I get to spoil my own mummy, but my little sister is spending her first Mother's Day as a mummy herself! I've collated together a little gift guide to give you some last minute inspiration if you haven't already got all the bits you need to treat your mummy to a lovely day.


I love picking out a card for my mum for Mother's Day. Sometimes I go for lovey dovey, sometimes I go for funny and sometimes I go for a pretty design. This one is definitely pretty design - I love the background print!

How cute is this little rose gold bath tub?! I would keep it to use in my bathroom afterwards for sure! I love the sound of Baylis & Harding's new pink prosecco range, and I'm sure that my mum would too!

I treated myself to this eyeshadow palette last year and I have used it every single day since. The colour palette ranges from subtle light pinks to a dark brown and burgundy. I feel that the neutral tones are the perfect gift for a mum who wants to try experimenting with their eye make up and they can gradually get darker as they get braver! :)

With Spring/Summer just around the corner... (well hopefully, this weather has been a little all over the place), a pair of new sunglasses are the perfect gift. These are a little expensive but a pair of Raybans are going to last you a very long time. I absolutely love the shape of this style. They have a vintage feel to them and I think they would suit all face shapes.

My mum has actually already been spoilt to these slippers by my sister. I must say though, she absolutely loves them and she will definitely be able to wear them for many more years to come. Her and my sister have matching pairs and I think I'm going to have to treat myself to a pair. I know this is an expensive present, but it's definitely a worthy investment as they last forever.

I swear by this lipstick ever since I tried it. I think it is the perfect shade for a young lady or an older woman. Mac lipsticks are a lovely little present to treat someone you love. 

How yummy do the flavour of these sound?! You really cannot go wrong with treating your mumma to some chocolates on Mother's Day.

Although these may be an expensive choice for flowers, you can always get a bouquet to suit your own mums style and to fit in your price range. I love a big bunch of flowers and coming into Spring this is the perfect time.


The lovely people over at Baylis & Harding sent me over a couple of their Pink Prosecco & Cassis range* to give to my mum for Mother's Day. As I mentioned before it is my sister's first Mother's Day so I will give one to her and one to my mummy. I'm rather tempted to keep them though, how lovely does pink prosecco and cassis sound?! I love the rose gold and cut-out packaging details and I hope that they love them as much as I do!


Thanks for reading :)

Mother's Day gift ideas!

I love being able to treat my mummy, and now that I have a job this is the first time I can treat her in a while! I'm not gonna say what I've bought her yet, as I'm sure she'll read this (Hi Mummy HAHA!), but I'm sure she'll love it either way! Each mum is different, and your mum might want anything from a pair of snuggly slippers to a poster of Marilyn Manson, but I've put together a few things that I know my mum would like, and I'm sure most people wouldn't say no to! :)


I absolutely love this silky, elegant, dusky pink dressing gown! It looks so glam yet cosy and the lace trim cuffs are gorgeous! Make your mumma feel a million dollars with a little silky dressing gown :)

Real Techniques Bold Metals Over Shadow Brush - £15.00
If your mum's into her make up, why not treat her to one of the new Real Techniques brushes from their collection Bold Metals? I've chosen an eyeshadow brush but there is loads to choose from!

KitchenAid Artisan Stand Mixer in Almond Cream - £379.00
 Okay so obviously most people reading this won't be able to afford to buy their mother's this product for Mother's Day, but it's so lovely that I couldn't not include it in this gift guide! I hope to one day have a KitchenAid, and I'm sure your mum would be absolutely delighted if you turned up with one of these! :)

Lindt Lindor Strawberries & Cream Truffles - £4.89
The plain chocolate versions of these are to die for, so I bet the strawberries and cream flavour are absolutely incredible! If I got these for Mother's Day, I would be one happy bunny!

 Jo Malone Wild Bluebell Candle - £40.00
I've been lusting over a Jo Malone candle for myself, for a few months now (I am probably going to take the plunge next payday), and they are just so gorgeous. They have the loveliest scents and I'm sure you could find the perfect one for your mum! I love the sound of the wild bluebell scent :)

 Benefit Roller Lash Mascara - £19.50
I bought the Elle magazine with a free sample of Benefit's Roller Lash about a month ago, and I seriously haven't looked back since, I just love it! I loved their They're Real mascara, and this one is similar but a lot less thick so would probably be better for your mum too! It really curls the lashes upwards, so if you curl your lashes too, it creates the nicest lash shape!

 Paperchase Mother's Day Card - £2.50
I always go to Paperchase when I'm looking to buy a card for any occasion. They always seem to get it right. Whether you're looking for cute, funny or witty, I'm sure that Paperchase will have the perfect card to make your mum smile.

Pandora Heart Lock & Key Charm - £30.00
I understand that to buy a Pandora charm, you're probably going to need a Pandora bracelet (that is another gift idea though haha) but for this one we're going to pretend that your mum already has one ;) I personally love this heart padlock charm for Mother's Day! :)
 
How friggin' cute is this basket full of flowers?! As a floral and picnic basket lover, this is literally perfect for me, and I know that my mum would love it too! Flowers are a cliche Mother's Day pressie, but they can also be gorgeous too, particularly if they're in a basket!

Lush always seem to have a product to suit any occasion, and a pampering present for your mum on Mother's Day cannot go wrong. I love the name Yummy Mummy for this product, and it's described as a 'super-scrummy, sweet and floral shower gel' and to me, that sounds delicious!
