GIFT GUIDE: MOTHERS DAY GIFT IDEAS


Mothers Day 2017 - Sunday 26th March 

With Mothers Day just around the corner I thought today i'd share some Mothers Day gift ideas!

I don't know about you but my mom is pretty amazing, and I always go a little over the top when Mothers Day arrives. Here's some really cool gift ideas that you can get your mom this year. 

How gorgeous are these Ted Baker Rose Gold Earrings *from Amara. I think they are stunning and would make the perfect gift for Mothers Day, They come with a little pouch and a Ted Baker Gift box which makes it look really special and they are only £25 which I think is a great price. This Scarf from Joules * also available at Amara is just gorgeous, it's so so soft and the colours are lovely. It's a really lovely scarf, my mom loves a good scarf and these are perfect for this transitional period between winter and spring where its a bit chilly outside so you want a thin scarf just to keep the cold out. You really can't go wrong with flowers, whether you pick some up from the local supermarket or have them delivered from a florist they can make a wonderful gift. My mom loves Lillies they are her favourite and purple is her favourite colour so these are perfect. 

My mom has recently started using make up brushes and has been quizzing myself and my sister on how we apply our make up so some new make up brushes would be the perfect gift this mothers day. These Body Shop* ones are so lovely. The bristles are so lovely and soft and they are so easy to use. They look great and are really affordable too. I've also included a couple of other brushes below. I really like the Look Good Feel Better Brushes and this blusher brush* looks amazing. The bristles are so soft and fluffy!! I also thought i'd mention this Soeco stippling brush* as I really like the Soeco brushes they look fab, i've recently spotted them in my local Bodycare and they are really good value for money. 

Why not get your mom some new skincare bits. I love Liz Earle and use their skincare everyday and I know my mom would love to add some Liz Earle bits to her routine. This is the Liz Earle Glow Getters collection.* For £29 you get the Hot Cloth Cleanser ( MY FAVE) and a gentle face exfoliator and a deep cleansing mask along with 2 Pure Cotton cloths. It's such a good price and comes in this gorgeous gift box which is designed by Jessica Tibbits.

How cute is this Mothers Day soap from The English Soap Company*, it's a really lovely gift. It smells so so good!! How cute is this gift set from The Pretty Little Treat Company. This is their Pretty Little Treasures Gift set *which contains really cute little products such as an Eye Gel, a Lip Balm, a Hand Cream and bath milk. The gift box is so pretty and the packging on the products has angels on and Clints mom loves Angels so she's going to be so excited to recieve this on Mothers Day. 

If your looking for something a little more on the pricey side you could treat your mom to a bottle of perfume, this Tiziana Terenzi Fragrance * is avaliable at Harvey Nichols and is a woody, spicy oriental scent. It's really strong and has top notes of Bergamot and Red Currant. The bottle and the packaging is gorgeous and so luxurious and would make a lovely addition to any moms dressing table. 

You really can't go wrong with a scented candle and my favourites are the Neom Travel Size candles. I love Tranquility and Happiness, they are my favourite scents. They retail for about £16 and smell amazing! 

How cool is this Scrabble Light from Red Candy*! You use the stickers to spell out different words, they would be so much fun especially to personalise for different occasions. They light up from the mains and the stickers are reusable so you can change them all the time to say different things. I think these would be amazing in a nursery or kids room aswell as in a main room. 

I hope you enjoyed my Gift Guide and I gave you some inspiration for Mothers Day. Even if you can't afford to buy your mom something get her a card and show her that you are thankful for everything she does for you.

CHRISTMAS GIFT GUIDE : FUN / QUIRKY GIFTS


So December is upon us, it's time to start my Christmas Gift Guides. 
I'm going to start with some fun / quirky gift ideas, I have lots of gift ideas from beauty to homewear.

I thought i'd start with these fun gift ideas as they are great ideas for everyone friends, family, him or her! They are all affordable and unique gift ideas.

This VW Campervan speaker from Find Me A Gift is a really good gift idea, you could give this to a friend or a music lover or maybe you have a family member who used to have and love a campervan. It retails for £39.99*, I think it's a really lovely gift, very unusual. 

This Chalk Mug is another great gift idea for anyone, a secret santa at work? Just a stocking filler for your brother or sister. Clint's response to the mug was 'oo you could draw rude things on it!!' It's a really affordable gift at £7.50*

I picked up this game/ puzzle the other day from Primark it's a bargain at £3 and would be a nice little stocking filler. It would be a nice game to play on Christmas Morning. We have some friends who like pub quizzes and escape rooms so I thought this would be a nice gift for them. 

How cool is this Dinosaur egg cup*?! It would be a really good idea for a child who loves Dinosaurs like Clints Nephew or an adult who likes Dinosaurs and boiled eggs. 

I picked up this Coors Light gift set from my local B&M Bargains. It was really reasonably priced, I think it was about £4 and is a really nice stocking filler. I've actually picked this up for Clint as Coors Light is his favourite beer.

This Easiyo Yoghurt maker is a really cool and unique gift idea. Do you have a friend who loves Yoghurt or maybe your sister is starting a new diet? The maker is only £17.99* and its £2 for the sachets of mixture. I think this would be such a great gift idea for a Yoghurt Lover! They are available from Wilkos, Hobby Craft and The Range and many more places. For more information click here   

I thought i'd include a couple of foody bits too! I also tend to buy chocolate and sweeties for Clints stocking but if you are shopping for someone who eats healthily these new Christmas Pudding Nakd bars would be a lovely stocking filler. * I think these Pickles and Chutneys would be a great stocking filler too for someone who loves cheese and pickle or chutney, you can see the whole selection on the English Provender* site
