Mother’s Day Gift Ideas
Spring is well and truly upon us, thank goodness, and Mother’s Day is fast-approaching. If you’re a bit short of inspiration this year, here are some great ideas to get you started. PS - they would all make lovely gifts for you too!
The Self-care movement has well and truly taken off over the last 12 months and there has never been a better time to focus inwards and get in tune with our bodies. Many of us have been unable to maintain regular tweakments such as Botox, and have been seeking effective home alternatives. Enter the Hayou Method with Gua Sha - a form of self-massage using specially developed crystal tools delivered to us by Chinese medicine expert Katie Brindle. The Gua Sha technique claims to boost circulation and lymphatic drainage, plump lift and contour the skin and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. All you need is a beauty restorer and some facial oil to get started

The original Jade beauty restorer used alongside a moisturiser or quality facial oil is all you need to get Mum started.

The Hayou Method have just teamed up with Net A Porter and released an exclusive range of Gua Sha tools made from precious Nephrite Jade, used in ancient China by the beauties of the Imperial Court for the ultimate multi-sculpting facial tool.
If your Mother is in need of a little TLC why not treat her to the gift of wellness and boost her daily regime with supplements? With celebrity devotees including Megan Markle, Margot Robbie and Yasmin Le Bon, Lumity is a revolutionary brand of supplements free from binders, preservatives and fillers that are formulated to promote anti-ageing and youthful wellness at a cellular level.

The sustainably packaged 3 month course of morning and night supplements work with your circadian rhythm to support optimal nutritional needs as your body changes throughout the day. Benefits can include a significant improvement in the health of skin, hair and nails, better sleep and more energy.
If the absence of hair salons have left your Mum’s tresses frazzled and untamed then why not introduce her to the luxurious range of silk products that beauty editors and hairdressers swear by?

The jewel-tones Silke hair wraps are worn like a glamorous turban every night and promise to reduce frizz, cut back on grease, preserve your blow-dry for longer and even promote hairgrowth.
Their silk hair ties are also brilliant and there is no collateral breakage.
For the ultimate bedtime silk treat a silk pillowcase not only cares for your hair but is also an effective beauty aid, absorbing less of your night cream than cotton and reducing ‘sleep creases’ on skin, which as we age become more pronounced.
Feeling organised is good for mental health. Fact. One way to keep our handbags accessories or makeup sorted is via a selection of pretty pouches that can double up as a stylish clutch bag for evening or travelling.

You can’t go wrong with this little one from H&M, it’s wipe-clean too.

Loved by influencers, I Know the Queen have a really fun range of bright and bold - and often tongue in cheek clutch bags which definitely shouldn’t be kept for best, and would make great storage for bits and pieces when your Mum’s not out on the town. If you hurry you can get them personalised too.
Flat shoes are definitely having their moment, and as we hope to ease out of Lockdown and back into civilisation comfort will remain our high priority, not least of all for our feet. House slippers and slides will be centre stage, and come in a dazzling array of variations. These two are my favourites.

These faux-fur slides from Mint Velvet would be perfect for easing into Spring and would great with Lingerie, Loungewear or even jeans.
Splash
These slides from Dear Frances are made from the softest, buttery leather. I particularly like them in the cream ‘lait’ colour way as pale-coloured footwear is such a great way to freshen up any outfit.
Nothing screams ‘new season’ more than a shiny new handbag swinging from your arm. The trending palette of pastels and sorbets are so pretty and just perfect to put a spring in your Mums step this year and you’d have plenty of brownie points coming your way.

This candy-coloured bucket bag from M&S is chic, practical and could easily have a designer price tag.

If you really want to push the boat out why not opt for the Loewe Puzzle, one of the It bags of the moment and for good reason, the neutral caramel tones go with almost everything. It’s not only beautiful but practical too, as you can wear it in 5 different ways. A modern icon.
