Show some love and appreciation for everything your mum does for you with some hand-picked beauty products to surprise her this Mother’s Day. From essential hand creams to a carefully chosen perfume, spoiling your mother has never been more fun!
- Anti-ageing cream
Giving birth to you didn’t come easy… With all the stress, and worrying your mother has to go through on a day-to-day basis, the skin becomes susceptible to the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. So, give her back her youth with an anti-aging cream that will smooth out any fine lines and enhance the skin’s elasticity.
If you’re feeling that extra love – and definitely not feeling skint – we recommend La Prairie anti-ageing stress cream – but the Khiel’s ultra facial cream will also do the trick.
2. Top-to-toe gift set
On this special day, treat your mother with the ultimate skin care and body care Mother’s Day gift. With these sets, her skin will be beautifully pampered from top-to-toe.
Julia Fernandes, 24, says:“I treat my mum to stuff all the time, but last year for Mother’s Day I got her a bath gift set to use afterwards, cook her a nice meal and have a girly pamper evening together. It’s all about her for the day, as she always spoils us the whole year round!”
The Body Shop offers loads of bath gift sets, all made with different scents and a wide range of products. Our most recommended ones are the Exotically Creamy Coconut Premium Collection and the Nourishing Shea Premium Collection, which both include a shower cream (250ml), a body butter (200ml), a body scrub (50ml), a hand cream (30ml), a body mist (100ml) and a bath lily (made from recycled plastic), all for the price of £32.
3. Hand cream
There’s nothing better than smooth, silky hands. A hand cream (but not just any hand cream) is such a thoughtful and sweet gift that will leave your mum feeling extra special. It’s also great for those of us washing our hands 20 times a day due to the coronavirus!
Getting her a hand cream that is a little bit on the pricey side means that you don’t have to invest in too many gifts. This is why we recommend Chanel’s “La Creme main” which will “nourish-protect-brighten” the hands. After a day of chores in the house and mad hand-washing, this is all your mother may need to unwind and relax.
But, don’t worry… at Holloway Express we have something for everyone. For only £21, you can opt for a Laura Mercier Tres Riche hand and Body Creme collection with gorgeous scents that your mum can choose from.
4. Perfume
Perfume is one of the easiest things you can give someone. But your mother isn’t just anyone. This is why we recommend a personalised perfume that is suited to her favourite scent. Whether it’s floral, fruity, or fresh, choosing a scent that she loves will definitely put a smile on her face.
Yasmine Haukrogh, 14 says: “I think perfume makes you feel confident and it leaves a mark that will remind her of you when she wears it, so I would definitely give this to my mum.”
5. Face mask
Sometimes you just want to sit back, relax and put on a face mask with a glass of wine in your hands… and you mother wants it too. That is why facial masks are such a great gift for this Mother’s Day.
While Mum has a relaxing time, the face mask will be working hard to refine her skin pores, increase the hydration of her skin and make it look firmer.
Holloway Express recommends Lush facial masks. You can find loads of varieties, every one suiting a different type of skin or with an specific purpose. For this Mother’s Day, we recommend the Me Time fresh mask that will treat her skin to a bouquet of calming, floral ingredients, just for the price of £9/75gm.
