a spritz of something floral...
You can never go wrong with treating your mum to her favourite fragrance, but if you fancy gifting her something new to add to her collection, here's a few picks I would highly recommend. First up, the Marc Jacobs Daisy Eau So Fresh is such a classic, sophisticated scent. It's perfect for this time of year too as it's so Spring-esque with it's fresh, floral tones. Just look at that beautiful, statement daisy bottle too. You can get this as a 125ml fragrance (which is a huge bottle!) with a 75ml scented body lotion. This set is a travel exclusive to World Duty Free and is such a steal. Next in line is the BVLGARI Rose Goldea Blossom Delight EDP which is another Spring fragrance staple, this one is a very strong floral scent, more on the mature side as opposed to the MJ Daisy Eau So Fresh which has a hint of sweetness. If those kinds of fragrance suit your mum better, then this is definitely one to go for, it's gorgeous!
Miller Harris is a gorgeous brand for fragrance, not only do they come in beautiful bottles which are perfect for display on your vanity. but the scents are to die for too. The Sublime Blossom and Rose Silence EDP fragrances are both equally gorgeous. Sublime Blossom is a really strong floral scent, whereas Rose Silence is a little bit sweeter with tones of sweet mandarin and tangy blackcurrant. They're both dreamy but for me I love the Sublime Blossom packaging more, but the Rose Silence fragrance is a little bit more me as I prefer the sweeter side. I think both are gorgeous staples in a fragrance collection so you can't go wrong with either!
a little Jo Malone London...
Jo Malone London always makes the best gift whether it be for birthdays. Christmas or occasions like Mothers Day. What lady doesn't love a little luxury in their life?! The Lavender & Coriander Cologne is the perfect fragrance for any ladies who love lavender scents, plus the beautiful purple packaging makes for a really pretty gift. The Geranium & Walnut Body Scrub is an ultra dreamy pamper staple that comes in the gorgeous Jo Malone London statement packaging. I'm actually obsessed with the body scrub, I've been using it daily lately, it's so gentle on my skin but leaves it so soft!
The Valentines Day Travel Candle Duo is a beautiful little set for any mummas who love a good candle or new homeware pick. It includes three miniature Jo Malone London candles in the scents, English Pear & Freesia, Red Roses & Peony & Blush Suede. All three are divine and this is such a cute set, especially to introduce your mum to Jo Malone London fragrances or candles! Plus look at the adorable heart packaging - such a cute gift!
a few body treats...
If you're looking for a gift for a mama to be, then look no further than the Clarins Pregnancy Kit. This includes a lovely stretch mark cream, an exfoliating body scrub, a tonic treatment oil, a little book with pregnancy beauty advice and an adorable little cloth with cute bunny ears. It's such a cute gift set that helps to prevent stretch marks and give mums a little pamper, both before and after pregnancy.
L'Occitane are one of the dreamiest brands when it comes to body treats, everything they sell smells utterly gorgeous. The Almond Shower Oil is one of my favourites to use, it smells beaut and I'm obsessed with using it in the shower. The Almond Milk Concentrate is another favourite, and this one melts into the skin like a dream, leaving it extremely nourished. Both of these together will make for the perfect little pamper set for any mama!
some makeup goodies...
For any mumma bears into makeup, World Duty Free have tons of gorgeous bits, but today I'm just going to share a couple of lovely ideas. Firstly, we have the Bobbi Brown 2 Minute Smokey Eye Kit which is gorgeous and perfect for any mums who travel a lot. Inside, you get mini 30ml Instant Longwear Makeup Remover (which is amazing FYI) and a mini Smokey Eye Mascara, which is my current go-to mascara, it's fab! Then you get two Longwear Eyeshadow Sticks in the shades Golden Pink & Dusty Mauve. It's a beautiful little set for any eye makeup lovers, and the eyeshadow sticks are both gorgeous shades.
Another pick perfect for on the go, is the Guerlain My Meteorites Palette. It comes in the cutest, pale pink patterned case (which is reusable!) and includes a compact powder which evens the skin tone, a pearly pink powder highlight, a pink powder blush and a little brush for application. It's a beaut little set and it's perfect for travelling with so it's a definite must-have for any mums who are constantly travelling around.
some skincare staples...
Every lady needs a good skincare routine in their life, even those of us who have little time for it. You can make life easier for those you love by gifting them high quality skincare products that work so well that you don't need to apply as many! Less is more as they say?! World Duty Free sells all of the best skincare brands, including some bits from Elemis which is a cult brand and has been for years. The Elemis Pro-Collagen Timeless Trio is a lovely set that features their Pro-Collagen Advanced Eye Treatment, Marine Cream & Marine Oil. All of these anti-ageing heroes help to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. I know personally how much motherhood can age you, so this would be a much appreciated gift I feel! Elemis skincare is so luxurious to use.
Some other gorgeous bits from Elemis include the Pro-Collagen Rose Cleansing Balm which is one of my all time favourite cleansers. Not only does it smell divine but it just melts into your skin clearing it of all makeup and impurities, I'm addicted! You can also get the Pro-Collagen Marine Cream and their Pro-Collagen Eye Revive Mask separately and they're both such lovely products that work wonders on the skin. I love the Eye Revive Mask in particular, it just melts into the under eye area and is so soothing!
Last but not least we have the Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair Essentials gift set which features three of their classic skincare products. It has the Micro Essence Skin Activating Treatment Lotion, the Revitalizing Supreme+ Global Anti-ageing Cell Power Cream and the Advanced Night Repair which I've heard amazing things about. Estée Lauder is definitely such a luxury beauty brand so this set is such a treat for any mum.
And that's a wrap! I hope this gave you lots of inspo on what to get your mum for Mothers Day this year, and don't forget to head to the World Duty Free website to Reserve and Collect all of your goodies before you fly!
