Mother's Day Inspiration

Hi everybody!

​I’m sure you haven’t forgotten that it’s Mother’s Day this weekend but just maybe you are a little stumped about what gift to purchase.
I was speaking with Viv and Joanna yesterday about this very topic when Viv had the idea that our previous winners have some fantastic products for babies and toddlers but many also have some amazing products for mums in their range too. Some of these would make wonderful Mother’s Day gifts and she thought that we could share some of our favourites with you. Even if you have already bought something, perhaps these suggestions could be a little something extra from your little one to their mum or to their nan.
Our first suggestion is for Little B Body Lotion. We love this product, not only does it have beautiful pictures of animals on the bottle (you know that animals are always a winner in my book) but this gentle cream hydrates and nourishes skin while using natural ingredients which are great even for those with the most sensitive skin.  They do not use animal testing and are vegan friendly.
Another great option for a present would be Barr Sweden Multivitamin Facial Cream. This very well loved (not just by us, it has won a whole host of awards) facial cream is a superb treatment for revitalising skin, especially when it is getting a bit dry or lacking in luster. It is both a day and night cream (Yes!!!) and stimulates the pores to improve elasticity and reduce redness.

If you are looking to buy a gift for a mum-to-be, then we can wholeheartedly recommend Weleda's pregnancy products. Weleda have created a range of products specifically designed to work with expectant mothers. Their lavender relaxing bath milk is perfect for unwinding in a candlelit bathroom along with some music. Additionally they offer perineum massage oil to gently prepare the skin for childbirth, stretch mark massage oil and nipple balm. 

Artio’s Mum Hand Balm is an organic product, handmade in Ireland and was the Gold Winner in our Best Beauty Product award category last year. Suitable for vegans and cruelty-free, Artio offer gift wrapping at no extra charge, making their products an ideal choice for a mother’s day gift or for any other celebration!

We could go on, but if you are still looking for inspiration, check our full list of last year’s winners to find a suitable gift that your loved one will really appreciate. Of course, Mother’s Day is not just about gifts and a lot of us will feel that we could do more to make our mums feel more loved and appreciated every day but this is still a great time to thank them for everything they do and to show them how much we really do appreciate them. 
​
So, wishing all the mums and mums-to-be a wonderful weekend, we’ll be back with a new blog soon!
See you!
Viv, Joanna and Dan
