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.

LIFESTYLE: RED CANDY REVIEW


I've featured Red Candy on my blog in the past and I have to say i've always been 100% happy with everything they have ever sent me. They have some really amazing homewear but its all super fun and quirky which I love! Here's my previous blog posts featuring Red Candy, Christmas Gift Guide, Our Flat Tour and Red Candy Review.

Today i'm featuring this gorgeous Umbra frame in this gorgeous blue colour and this awesome watermelon chopping board.

The Umbra frame is the perfect blue for our living room, I have my candle and a few accessories in this colour which ties it all together. I didn't want to go crazy with colour in the living room so most things are monochrome but we have added a little pop of colour. I recently added a few yellow cushions for spring/ summer just to make the room a little brighter. As you can see we've already added photos to the frame, it's really easy to pop them in and change them round etc. I really love the frame and I think the living room would look weird without it now as it lives on the table and looks fab!

Check out this gorgeous Watermelon worktop saver, I already have a lovely chopping board and worktop saver but I needed this one! It's so fab, this is why I love Red Candy because you can get some really cool bits and pieces. The board is a really decent size and is lovely and bright and looks great in the kitchen. I usually use it for preparing my lunches and fruit etc. When i'm not using it, I pop it under the fruit bowl which looks great, I'm so in love with it and think its a really lovely piece for any kitchen.

REVIEW : RED CANDY UK


Red Candy Uk is a really fun website! They stock some really amazing brands such as Flamingo Candles and Happy Jackson.

They stock everything from telephones to candles to kitchen utensils! All of their products are so bright and colourful and look great! I love this vintage style telephone, it's just so quirky and fun, This mint photoframe would be a lovely addition to any room. 

Red Candy recently sent me this lovely Flamingo Candle to review, I already have a flamingo candle in a Parma Violet scent but they are just so good. I'm so happy to add another to my collection. This is Strawberry and Champagne scent, its so good! It smells like those strawberry and cream sweets with the swirl. 

I was also kindly sent some Happy Jackson lunch boxes which I haven't photographed yet but you can see them here on the Red Candy website, They are so handy and fun. They come in different sizes so they are perfect for whatever you decide for lunch!
