The Ultimate Mother’s Day Gift Guide, Celebrating All Mums

In partnership with Sephora / FeelUnique Guernsey - contains affiliate links

It’s that time of year again when Mother’s Day gifts are the order of the month. And since we’re celebrating ALL mums - the mums who are dads, the sisters who are mums, the grandmas we love to gossip with, and the friends who keep our hearts full everyday - we’ve put together a beauty gift guide everyone will find something special in. Yes, even you!

 

 

What are the best Mother’s Day gifts? 

Like Father’s Day, Christmas and everything in-between, Mother’s Day is uniquely personal to all of us. Whether our mums are our best friends, we’re remembering those we’ve lost, or we see mothers in those we least expect, the best Mother’s Day presents are those that come from the heart. With beauty being just as personal, choose one to represent your love the most, or mix and match for an extra dose of fun.

 

 

1.  Best for: The Creative

HUDA BEAUTY - The New Nude Eyeshadow Palette

Mother’s Day makeup gifts don’t just come in the form of gift sets, but iconic palettes like this one from Huda. For the creative soul who loves to express their every mood, each versatile shade is there for everyday glam to the full evening beat. Another gift we’d love to steal for ourselves, we’d add two to your basket.

 

 

 

2.  Best for: The Forever Loyal

KILIAN PARIS - Princess Eau de Parfum

We all know someone in our lives who keeps loyalty close to their heart, and rarely does a scent match up to this quite like Princess. A scent for the independent and bold, Ginger, Green Tea and Marshmallow come together to form a blend that doesn’t sound like it *should* work, but more than exceeds expectations. One sure to be on their yearly Mother’s Day wishlist.

 

 

 

3.  Best for: The Self-Care Saviours

CAUDALIE - Beauty Elixir

Self-care doesn’t always come in the form of face masks and herbal tea. Sometimes, we turn to the beauty gifts that bring us joy whenever we need it. With Caudalie’s cult face mist, we turn every second into one of self-care. On the go, or spritzing on before bed, each spray delivers an intense hit of hydration - along with some soothing aromatherapy benefits. Happy Mother’s Day indeed.

 

 

 

4.  Best for: The Homebody

NEST NEW YORK - Bamboo Reed Diffuser

Signature scents don’t just belong on our skin, but in our homes. In this bestselling diffuser, florals, citrus and, of course, Bamboo combine to create an ideal fragrance for Mother’s Day. Featuring fragrance oil that slow releases for up to 90 days of space-transforming scent, we choose to gift this to those who love staying in - or as a luxury extra to their usual signature.

 

 

 

5.  Best for: The One Who Loves A Spa Day

FRESH - Vitamin Nectar Glow Face Mask

A spa experience doesn’t need to cost the earth - and with this glow-boosting face mask, you’ll be gifting them just that every single day. Packed with 50 percent crushed citrus fruits, it smells as fresh as just-squeezed juice, with all the antioxidants and vitamins to match. Smooth on whenever you need a mineral hit, and remember that sharing *is* caring. 

 

 

 

6.  Best for: The Open Hearted

GUCCI - Gorgeous Gardenia Eau de Parfum

Family comes in many forms, and when we find someone who keeps our hearts open (and does everything to keep them safe), we say thank you with this bestselling fragrance. Blending Gardenia with Jasmine and Brown Sugar, it’s a scent that starts out floral before melting into something heady and sweet. One that looks as beautiful as it smells, special is only one word which covers it.

 

7.  Best for: The Skincare Mavens

LIZ EARLE - Your Daily Routine with Skin Repair Rich Cream Kit

When it comes to treating the skincare lovers in your life, Mother’s Day beauty gift sets don’t get much better than this. Perfect for beginners or lifelong Liz Earle fans, it’s filled with a complete daily routine that ticks all the boxes. Just top up with SPF and they’ll be good to glow. Then prepare for a repeat buy next year. 

 

 

 

8.  Best for: The Always Selfless

FLORAL STREET - Wonderland Peony Eau de Parfum

Doing what they do best, Floral Street has created a Peony-led scent that both subverts and embraces the classic floral perfume. Melting into a heart of Pink Berries, Cotton Candy, Cedarwood and Vetiver, it’s woody, balsamic and sweet - all at once. A scent for those who always put others before themselves, this is one treat that’s entirely theirs.

 

9.  Best for: The Nurturing Soul

NEOM - Moments of Wellbeing in the Palm of Your Hand

Who needs one present, when you can have four? Expertly curated and handpicked by the scent scientists at Neom themselves, this small but powerful hand balm collection is one of our favourite gifts for mum every time. With blends to de-stress, improve sleep, boost happiness and elevate your energy, there’s a balm for every mood - and every moment. Sharing the love between mums? Do like us and pick the scents that suit them, to complement another beauty gift.

 

 

10.  Best for: The Romantic

CHLOÉ - Eau de Parfum

Who says romance is just for Valentine’s Day? Definitely not us. And definitely not the ones in your life who put love first. With Chloé’s signature eau de parfum, each spritz is warming enough to wear everyday, and boasts a longevity we just can’t match. Peony, Lychee, Cedarwood and Amber make for the perfect combination here, making it easy to see exactly why it’s so popular. 

 

 

 

11.  Best for: The One Who Lives For Every Moment

SEPHORA COLLECTION - Shower Oil Argan 

Mother’s Day scents aren’t what they used to be. And we mean that in the best way. With shower oils like this new Argan addition from our very own Sephora Collection, experience the moisturising benefits of a body cream and the delicate scent of a signature scent. Love at first shower? Keep the scent going all day long with a spritz (or few) of the matching scented body mist. You’re welcome.

 

 

12.  Best for: The Cheerleader

NEOM - Feel Refreshed Scented Candle 3 wicks

Nothing makes us happier than dreaming of sunnier days, and with this energising Neom candle, it’s shaping up to be a Happy Mother’s Day indeed. Featuring a lineup of 24 essential oils - including sun-baked Lemon and Basil - it’s been expertly created to transform your space and your mind. A scent that does more than make us smell lovely, we gift to the cheerleader in our lives who always keeps the mood up. 

 

13.  Best for: The New Mums

MY EXPERT MIDWIFE - Mum to Be Collection

No Mother’s Day gift guide would be complete without sharing the love with the new mums on the block - and mums to be. Deserving nothing but the best, this award-winning collection is filled with products to soothe and relieve the challenges of pre, during and post pregnancy. Plus, the five full-sized products all come packaged in a bag that’s both hospital-friendly and mum-friendly.
