Mother's Day Gift Guide

With Mother's Day approaching very soon - 15th March if you didn't know - I was challenged by House of Fraser to create gift guide, with a gift option for everyone to choose from. Everyone does Christmas and Valentine's Day gift guides, so why not a Mother's Day one?

For any occasion you can never go wrong with a picture frame, just put a special photo in the frame and it becomes an incredibly thoughtful gift, and will probably be one of their favourite presents. Linea do amazing homeware in general, I always seem to be a bit too late for their amazing sales, but the Gold Effect Frame range are such pretty picture frames which will fit in to any home. The gold also helps to make them look a bit more expensive than they are. Another gorgeous homeware item is the Shabby Chic Flower Garden Giftset, it comes with two candles and a reed diffuser. Again a great gift which can fit in to any home not matter what the decor theme is and looks super classic and vintage. The great thing is your mum can then use the candle jars for decoration after they've melted, and you can buy refills for the reed diffusers - it's the gift that keeps on giving!

If your mum is a bit of a beauty addict there are always going to be those brands that you know you can go to if it's the night before and everything else has failed. Jo Malone is one of those brands because let's face it, who wouldn't want to open a Jo Malone box any time of the year? I've recently tried their Pomegranate Noir Bath Oil* and the scent is amazing, I'll have a review up soon. They're a little pricey at £40, but your mum will get at least 20 baths out of this, and when you compare it to the price of a Lush bath bomb at £3, it's actually cheaper per use. If your mum isn't much of a bath person but still loves her beauty then a luxurious lipstick is always going to go down well. I've never tried a Chanel lipstick but I'd recommend their Rogue Allure Luminous Satin Lip Colour in Badine, because you want her to get use out of it, so picking a satin lip colour that's a neutral pink means it's not too opaque or matte, but is special enough that she will appreciate it a lot and perfect for everyday.

If you're on a bit of a budget, but still want to buy something pretty and luxurious for bath time then Bayliss & Harding have you covered. Their Rhubard and Vanilla Cream Pamper Kit sounds delicious, and again looks a lot more expensive than it is. It comes with everything need for the perfect relaxing bath, and if you know your mum isn't in to sweet scents they have so many different gift sets and scents on offer. If you're not after a beauty treat but you're still on a budget then this Therapy Jennie Cosmetic Bag is a great option, plus it's reduced at the moment. Everyone needs some little bag for their handbag, whether it's to hold makeup, pens or just everyday female essentials, and this is a really cute option. It looks similar to Ted Baker ones but so much cheaper, and because of the red I feel it looks that bit more sophisticated than a floral Ted Baker one.

Finally, speaking of Ted Baker they have these gorgeous Heart Stud earrings. I'm not much of an earring wearer because I find cheap ones tend to hurt my ears and make them itch, but even I am tempted by these. They do them in silver, gold and rose gold and they're all gorgeous, but I feel silver is the most safe option because it can look sophisticated and classic for both work and night time. They're £19 which isn't ridiculously expensive, but they're not the cheapest option either, but I can guarantee anyone would love these and they're a great gift which will last a lifetime.
