The Ultimate Mother’s Day Gift Guide (plus giveaway and discount code!!!)

Mother’s Day is just around the corner. Which means it’s time to think how you could show your mum (or your wife, if she’s a mum) how much you love and appreciate her. Of course, hugs, kisses, ‘I love you’s’ and dinners out are ALWAYS appreciated, but it wouldn’t hurt to gift mum something nice on this special day.

With the generosity of some amazing brands, I’ve put together this extensive list of gift items and ideas – from jewellery and beauty (always a winner) to personalised items (for that special touch) to lovely home fragrances and even a personalised cake! There really is something for every mum in here…

PS: And if you’re mum reading this, just leave this page open on your computer/ phone and let your children/ other half ‘happen’ to chance upon it. Happy Mother’s Day!

I call this the ‘wonder oil’ because it really does everything!

It’s a magic potion for pregnant mums-to-be, new mums and mums who just want to get that radiance back.

It has multi-purpose uses and treats stretch-marks, wrinkles, dry skin and even acne-prone skin. The natural oils are great for skin, nails and hair.

Lips
