With mother’s day for the UK and Australia approaching**, I thought I’d put together a few little gifts to spoil your mom that doesn’t include THE most popular gift of flowers. I’m not saying your mom doesn’t love that flower arrangement you send every year buuuut maybe add to it this year or try to branch out a little.
So my theme of this gift guide is scents and fragrances instead of flowers! I love receiving these type of gifts because they are items I don’t always tend to buy for myself…and what better way to treat your mom than buying her some goodies that she may not typically buy herself!
**I know what you’re thinking, mom, and sure, you can have both Mother’s Days since I live so very far away! 🙂
Bronnley : I love this classic British fragrance brand. They have the yummiest scents but also the packaging is so classic yet chic and trendy and I LOVE THIS! It’s an especially perfect Mother’s Day gift because since their launch at Boots, they are offering 2 for £20 on the Bronnley Eau Fraiche — so either 2 for your mom or one for her and one for you! Win-win. I am loving the Citrine Lagoon scent at the moment…something about the crisp citrus and the watery//sea notes in this make me feel like I’m somehow closer to the ocean and a seaside escape! The Cosmic Bloom would be the best choice for a mom who loves the floral type scent but with something extra and more WOW in it! I love this one because it adds musk and vanilla to the typically citrus and sweet floral fragrance! Also, with this Boots special, you can add on the travel roll-on perfumes for £3.99! It’s the best for any carry-on traveler.
Button & Wilde : This brand new luxe London bath and body line offers unique customization to their packaging! So not only spoil your mom with these fab fragrant products but also create your own unique package for each item. I created a special Mother’s Day themed label for the Body Creme, Bath Milk & Shower Cream adding very special mom-related quotes to each label. My favorite is for the Body and Hand Creme, I used this quote “a mother holds her children’s hand for a while, but their hearts forever”. You can customize these however you like and the extra touch will show your mom you spent some special time creating this gift just for her! Button & Wilde is also having a special pop-up shop in Soho (79 Beak Street) on Friday, March 17 – Saturday, March 18 where you can try the products first hand and learn more about these personalized gifts!
Landon Tyler Diffusers : On to a different kind of fragrance, a home diffuser is a great gift for a mom who equally loves beautiful scents and fragrance as well as home decor. These Landon Tyler diffusers are as aesthetically pleasing as they are aromatic! I love the chic, simple design of the smoked glass almost as much as I love the variety of scents they offer! The gift sets would make an excellent choice for Mother’s Day as they include both the diffuser and candles.
Terrarium : Technically, not a flower. But terrariums are a unique way to give your green thumb mom something that’ll last a little longer than the typical bouquet. I love these two options from Urban Outfitters because their modern design looks chic and cool but it’s not much that your traditional and classic style mom won’t love it!
A few weeks left, happy Mother’s Day shopping!
