English Pear & Freesia Home Candle
For an easy gifting win
Sure, it’s a Mother’s Day cliché, but never underestimate the power of a good candle, especially one from Jo Malone London. Every scent in the lineup is i-n-c-r-e-d-i-b-l-e, but English Pear and Freesia is my pick thanks to its satisfying blend of fresh, fruity and floral notes - the perfect partner to a blissful soak or cosy evenings in. Plus, it comes nestled in a fancy box tied with a ribbon, so no need for any extra wrapping. - AH
All About Eyes
For the mum who loves to pamper her peepers
Trust me when I say this is eye-enhancing magic. A lightweight formula with endless five-star reviews, it helps lessen the look of puffiness, dark circles and fine lines. In other words, this cream ticks every box. A game-changing step to add to her beauty routine, your mum will thank you big time for this one. Oh, and did I mention it helps hold eye makeup in place? Yep, it’s that good. Apply morning and night – both under eyes and on lids – using a gentle patting motion. - EK
Resurrection Aromatique Hand Balm
For hardworking hands
After a harsh winter and endless sanitising throughout lockdown, everyone’s hands are feeling a bit sore and weather-worn. If your mum’s suffering with cracked knuckles and dry skin, then Aesop’s Resurrection hand balm is the way to go. Blended with a fragrant mix of barrier-loving botanicals, this moisture-locking balm soothes and hydrates without that annoying greasy feeling. It sinks in straight away, leaving hands and cuticles silky-soft and supple. Plus, it smells like a dream. Win-win. - EK
Self-Heating Eye Mask - 5 pack
For out-of-this world gifting
These celestial self-heating eye masks will transport your mum to another dimension. Their gentle warmth soothes and relieves tired, strained eyes and any other Earthly tensions (like your dad’s constant complaining, for starters). Infused with Essence of Jasmine to impart a calming aroma, these twinkling Spacemasks are the perfect tool for a bit of tranquil me-time. Tip: The warmth comes as soon as you open the mask, so ensure you’re fully reclined, relaxed and ready for lift off. - EK
Pure Silk Sleep Mask
For the bougie mum
It doesn’t get more luxurious than Slip’s 100% Mulberry Silk eye mask - it’s not just silk on the outside, it’s also lined with silk on the inside because if you're going to go for it you might as well fully commit. As well as blocking out light to help you get more shut-eye, this plush accessory protects the delicate area around the eyes, reducing the friction between skin and fabric. Translation: It’ll help minimise the look of wrinkles, crow’s feet, and crepe-y skin. Take your pick from an array of stylish designs and it’ll be sweet dreaming from here on out - AH
