Mother’s Day Gift Guide

Mother’s Day is about showing your appreciation to the important person in your life who helped make you who you are today. Whether it be your Mum, Step Mum, Nan, or anyone else who helped to nourish, guide and support you, show them you care with a thoughtful gift this Mother’s Day. While every woman is different, there are undeniably a few ‘types’ who are tricky to buy for. In our Mother’s Day Gift Guide, we’ve hand-chosen products to make gift-buying a breeze. 

The Busy Bee

Her diary is bursting at the seams and she always has somewhere to be. For the Busy Bee, the most precious gift (short of finding more hours in the day) is the gift of relaxation. A Neom candle makes the ideal thoughtful present for the hard-working woman in your life. Available in five unique scents, try Calm & Relax, which uses ylang ylang, frankincense and patchouli to create a calm atmosphere in the home.

The Natural Mum

If you have a mum who is conscious about the environment and trying to make greener choices, choosing the right gift can be a daunting task. Thankfully, when it comes to Mums who value the healing properties of natural ingredients and eco-responsible packaging, Philosophy has everything you need. In particular, try their Nature In A Jar range, which boasts a Body Lotion with Cactus Fruit Extract, and a Gentle Detoxifying Cleanser with Agave.

The Mum Who Has Everything
