Mother's Day Gift Guide ♥

Mother's Day Gift Guide

Hey girlie's!!!

With Mother's Day fast approaching (30th of March) I thought I'd do a little gift guide of a few idea's on what we could all buy our lovely, well deserving Mum's out there. I've tried to include as much a possible in this gift guide from more affordable options to gifts that are a little bit more expensive, to some yummy chocolates and jewellery, hopefully I've got it covered, you can also check out my Mother's Day perfume of choice 'here' too.

Anyway let's get down to business...

Essie Holiday Kit £15.00
If your Mum is into her nail polishes this 5 piece mini holiday kit from Essie is perfect. The quality of Essie polishes are great, the 5 shades in the holiday kit are great for the upcoming spring/summer months and personally I think the set looks lovely. 


Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream Collection £39.00
I think this Eight Hour Cream Collection by Elizabeth Arden is a lovely gift, is contains a variety of different best sellers from the Eight Hour range and is sure to make your Mum feel all pampered with some luxurious goodies. You can find this collection in your local Debenhams or on their website.


Yankee Candle Sweet Pink £19.99
Who doesn't love a Yankee Candle, I know it do ha ha! Sweet Pink is from Yankee Candles new Dream Garden Spring Collection and I have to say it looks lovely. It's a two wick glass tumbler style candle which I think makes a nice change to the usual Yankee Candle glass jars, so if your Mum likes her candles this is sure to put a smile on her face.


Thornton's Just For Mum Collection £15.00
An obvious but yummy choice... chocolates!!! This 'Just for Mum' Collection by Thornton's contains a pre iced "Happy Mother's Day x" Chocolate Plaque, a Milk, White & Dark Chocolate Collection, A Mother's Day Heart Chocolate Box, I Love Mum Chocolates and a heart lolly all for £15.00. If your Mum has a sweet tooth she'll love these.


Cath Kidston Mug £6.50
I don't know about your Mum but mine drinks gallons of tea a day, I swear ha ha... So instead of the traditional 'I Love You Mum' cups/mugs I thought I'd switch things up with a gorgeous Cath Kidston Mug, it's pretty, great quality and affordable, your Mum will love it.


 PANDORA Pink Rose Stud Earrings £40.00
How pretty are these little stud earrings from PANDORA. I think these are perfect if your Mum likes more dainty, delicate earrings and would make a gorgeous Mother's Day gift if you want to spend that little bit extra.


Mother’s Day Flowers | Interflora £26.99
Flowers are something I get my Mum every Mother's Day along with a few other bit's and pieces, you really cant go wrong with flowers, they looks pretty, smell amazing and you aren't limited with them either, you can buy a bunch as big as you like with you Mum's favourite flowers in mind.

And there you have it girlie's, a gift guide full a pretties that your Mum's would enjoy. I hope this has helped or inspired you on what you might want to treat your Mum too this Mother's Day.

Budget Christmas Gift Guide | Under £15


Hey girlie's!!!

Today I'm back with another slice of my Christmas Gift Guide pie but this time it's all about saving the pennies and finding some good but affordable gifts for your loved ones. This budget gift guide is mainly targeted towards girlie's but I've thrown a couple of prezzies in there for the guys too.


♥ Firstly I opted for something that any fake tan lover would really appreciate, a St Moriz Travel Gift Set!!! The set comes complete with a St Moriz Instant Self-Tanning Lotion 100ml, St Moriz Body Scrub 100ml and a St Moriz Moisturiser 100ml. The gift set is a bargain at just £6.99 from feelunique.com.

♥ Next I went for some chocolate, not just any chocolate, Thornton's chocolate!!! Whats great about the 'Just To Say' chocolate slab is that you can get it personalised in the shop with either a name, personal joke or phrase that means something to you and the person who's gift it is. I think it a fabulous idea and whats best is it tastes amazing at the end of it. 

♥ Aftershave is always a winner for most men and the fact you can still get a nice smelling aftershave on a budget is great!!! I found Intimately Beckham by David Beckham himself for just £8.95 for 50ml on  the fragrance direct website, what an absolute bargain and it smells incredible too.

♥ As I picked an aftershave for the men I wanted to pick an affordable perfume for the girlie's too so I opted for the Kate Moss Eua De Toilette, I've actually had this myself a while back and it smells lovely. You can pick the Kate Moss perfume up from fragrance direct for £8.95 for 50ml's.

♥ Any make up or beauty obsessed girl is going to love the Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge in their stocking. It's a great yet affordable alternative to the original beauty blender and will make your make up base look flawless. You can find the Miracle Complexion Sponge in Boots for £5.99.

♥ Everyone loves something from Lush even more so when they bring out all their Christmas range and I think their Festive Goodies Gift Set is lovely. The gift set contains the Father Christmas bath bomb, the Snowman bath bomb and the Christmas Penguin bubble bar, all of which look super cute and smell incredible in your bath. You can find the Festive Goodie Gift Set in Lush for £11.50.

♥ Every guy I know loves a good ole comedy DVD and at Christmas your spoilt for choice as so many comedians bring out their tour DVDs of their tours this year. I chose Micky Flanagan's Back In The Game Live Tour DVD as Micky Flanagan just cracks me up!!! 

♥ How super cute is this Giraffe Hottie!!! You might be wondering what on earth a hottie is, but its basically a great/very cute alternative to a hot water bottle, simply pop the lavender tummy insert into the microwave to warm up and then place the insert back into the hottie's tummy and voila!!! You can keep warm a snugly up through the cold winter nights and the lavender will help calm/relax you. You can find the Giraffe hottie along with other animal hotties on the Jarrold website for £8.50.

♥ And to finish off I found this very girly bow design compact tangle teezer on the feel unique website for £12.25. Tangle teezers have become huge this year and they seem to be becoming am essential for any girl. Their are lots of colours and designs to choose from and personally I think they make great stocking fillers.

I hope you enjoyed my budget Christmas gift guide beaut's and I hope it's given you a few budget idea's on what to get your loved ones. Remember it's the thought that counts, you don't have to spend a fortune!!!
