The TSNC Mother’s Day Gift Guide With Very
2 March, 2023
Mother’s Day is on the horizon again, and I’ve teamed up with Very today to share with you some fantastic gift ideas. They really do have a bit everything on offer, and today I’ve put together some gorgeous beauty goodies, as well as a lovely scented candle and an amazing chocolate gift set to share with you – enjoy!
I’m a big fan of Yankee Candle products, and luckily Very stock a fantastic selection of best-selling Yankee Candles. The have many of the most popular scents available, in both medium and large jar sizes. I think the Fresh Cut Roses candle would make a lovely Mother’s Day gift – the scent is described as an intoxicating garden of fragrant heirloom roses, and they’re spot on! If you love a fresh, floral, uplifting scent in your home, this is the candle you need!
Another fantastic gift idea for Mother’s Day is definitely a hamper. Very have a Hugh selection available, and I picked up the Hotel Chocolat Everything Collection which I thought looked amazing. At £29.50 this is the perfect budget-friendly foodie gift, and it includes a range of Hotel Chocolat’s best selling treats. Inside you’ll find a selection of Hotel Chocolat’s most iconic filled chocolates in the Everything H Box, as well as a pack of Trillionaires Shortbread, made with with hazelnut praline and smooth butter caramel. There’s also a huge slab of Mississippi Mud Pie, made with milk and white chocolate with a cocoa-biscuit crunch, and a large box of 40% milk batons. I can tell you now these chocolates aren’t going to last long in my house!
You know I had to include a selection of fragrances here today! I’ve picked out some fantastic newer releases that would make brilliant gifts for Mother’s Day. Brand new from Marc Jacobs is the latest flanker in their Perfect collection – Marc Jacobs Perfect EDT. This is a luminous, floral fragrance that celebrates the power of being true to yourself. Perfect EDT is a brighter, fresher version of the original Perfect fragrance, making it ‘perfect’ for spring. Perfect EDT is an uplifting, joyful, and clean, floral scent, and would make a fantastic gift for fans of the brand.

I also have Anna Sui Cosmic Sky EDT – Anna Sui really does make the prettiest bottles! Cosmic Sky is the latest in the Sky fragrance range, and it’s housed in the most beautiful iridescent blue and purple hot air balloon bottle. Cosmic Sky is is a feminine, playful and sweet fragrance – it’s the perfect fruity floral scent for the upcoming spring months. Opening with notes of sweet juicy pear and bergamot, the heart includes iris, ambrette seed, apple blossom and carrot seed, leading to a dry down of crisp amber, crystallised sugar and blonde woods.- Top Notes: Pear & Bergamot

I think a gift set always makes a fantastic present for mothers day, and fans of Jean Paul Gaultier fragrances will love this Jean Paul Gaultier La Belle Gift Set. La Belle EDP is a wonderfully seductive, elegant vanilla fragrance; it’s fruity, sweet and intense, without being over-powering. The fragrance opens with juicy pear and sparkling bergamot, leading to a heart of floral notes blended with leather. The dry down includes notes of creamy vanilla, vetiver, warm amber and musk, leaving you with a sweet, almost edible trail.
This beautiful set includes: Jean Paul Gaultier La Belle Eau de Parfum 50ml, La Belle Body Lotion 75ml & La Belle EDP Miniature 6ml.

And last but not least, I wanted to include something for skincare lovers – the Benefit Total Moisture Facial Cream is a fantastic intensive daily moisturiser for those with normal to dry skin. The Total Moisture Facial Cream contains mango butter, a natural plant-based emollient known to provide moisture, and features Benefit’s exclusive tri-radance complex, to help develop the skin’s water reserves and reinforce and maintain the skin’s moisture barrier.
