Gorgeous gifts for Mother's Day
When you become a mum, your life changes forever. Rare are those moments when you focus on yourself first – instead your life revolves around your family, and all the joys and challenges that new life brings. It's a beautiful, exhausting, amazing, difficult change. For all they give, mothers should be celebrated. Mums deserve something special that's just for them, and Mother's Day is the perfect opportunity to make sure that happens.
While breakfast in bed and a chance to put your feet up is very special – how about one of these beautiful gifts as the icing on the cake this Mother's Day?
The Green House Take a Moment gift pack from Bubbalooz
With everything required to harness that relaxing moment when it appears, this is a great gift for mum at the great price of $24.95! The gift pack contains a mini dreamy coconut soy candle, a citrus and lavender hand & body lotion, and a mini relaxing bath salts in a lovely calico bag. Check out Bubbalooz to see more.
Jill Main Pohutakawa Merino Mitts
These Jill Main Pohutakawa Merino Mitts from Not Socks Gifts will be much used by mum on those chillier days. Don't you love the print? Made in New Zealand, they come in olive, orange or blue.
Natural fragrances from Do No Harm
Fragrances can be full of chemicals and nasties – but it's so nice to feel special when you're doing the usual mum tasks and a little signature fragrance makes any woman feel a little more sophistiqué. I love the fragrance range from all-natural kiwi company Do No Harm, including these Nellie Tier Scents. Pink Grapefruit and Rose can be my signature scent any day of the week, thanks very much.
Gift Hampers from Giftloft
The Giftloft Lady of the House Hamper is a veritable treasure of products to make mum feel loved. You can customise this gift by choosing the candle, chocolates and lollies to be included. Mmmm candles, chocolates and lollies....
Giftloft also have a section dedicated to grandmas... I always try to remember my Nana (as well as my children's nana & grandma) on Mother's Day, and enclose a little card or picture from my kids too. This Mad Millie "Fromage" Cheese Making Starter Kit is from that section, though I know lots of mums who would love the chance to try out making their own cheeses too.
MILK Photo Books
Sometimes, just for fun, I'll sift through my (too) many online pictures of my kids, remembering the stages they've been through and thinking about how far they've come. Nothing puts a smile on a mama's face like the perfect shot capturing their child doing something they love. Beautiful gifts can be made from photographs, and I think some of the most beautiful of all come from MILK Books. For a gift of true elegance stitched together with love, check them out.
