We’ve curated an entire edit of {Mother’s Day gifts} for you to browse, but to help you pick, we’ve collated a list of our absolute favourites that we know they’ll love.

So without further ado, here are the 15 best Mother’s Day gifts to give this year:

 1. THE NOSTALGIC FRAGRANCE:

Take your mum on a nostalgic journey via this {Replica Memory Box} collection from Maison Margiela. From Lazy Sunday Mornings and Bubble Baths to Beach Walks and Springtime in a Park, remind her of all her favourite places and moments through the power of familiar and long-lasting scents. The fragrance set features 10 discovery-sized REPLICA blends, so she can sample them all before deciding on her favourite.

2. THE SUPER-CHIC CANDLE:

 The super-chic floral-musk coconut and soy wax blend {Melrose Place} candle from OUAI is the perfect mother’s day gift for those who love to fill their home with delicious scents. Inspired by the relaxed glamour of the Los Angeles address from which it takes its name, the Melrose Place Candle celebrates the soft scent of rose, balanced with a burst of fresh bergamot and lychee and deeper notes of cedar, white musk base and champagne (fancy, we know!). With an impressive 55-hour burn time, she’ll be reminded how special she is long after Mother’s Day has passed.

3. THE ICONIC HAND DUO:

 For mums who love a little bit of luxury, the {Resurrection Hand Cleanser and Balm Duo} from Aesop couldn’t be more perfect. Truly iconic, the bottles instantly transforming any bathroom into the set of an ‘at home with Vogue’ shoot! And they don’t just look the part, they smell exquisite too, with notes of mandarin, rosemary, lavender and cedarwood working to awaken the senses with every use.

 4. THE LUXE CLEANSER:

 For mums who love skin care, treat them to the luxurious {Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm} from Elemis. A member of the fan-favourite Pro Collagen range, the Pro Collagen Cleansing Balm is a saviour for skin that’s in need of a little TLC, working to deeply cleanse, nourish and soften in one fell swoop.

This award-winning and mouthwatering shower oil will transform her daily shower ritual into an indulgent, spa-like experience. What makes it so special?

In short, it’s bliss.
