Mother’s Day Gift Guide – 8 Items To Show Mom You Care

Gift Guide

Mother's Day will soon be upon us and if you're still scratching your head thinking of gift ideas for that special woman in your life, here's some suggestions that will make her day.
 

1. This polka dot hinged wallet ($10) will make any mom smile.
 

2. For the mom who likes the scent of roses, get her a Diptyque Roses Scented Candle ($60).  While the price may seem a little steep for a candle, Diptyque candles are widely acknowledged as some of the best in the world.
 

3. Give mom your heart….on a pillow.  We're loving this adorable emerald green heart pillow cover ($40).
 

4. Air plants don't need soil to grow and can prosper anywhere.  These little plant pods are all natural ($11).
 

5. Vasanti's Manhattan 24/7 eye shadow palette ($40) takes any mom from day to night in style.
 

6. Help your tech-savvy mom make a statement with Jonathan Adler's Stepped Diamonds iphone 5 Case ($28).
 

7. This hand cream from L'Occitane ($12) is super rich and contains 20% Shea Butter to keep mom's hands soft and silky on the go.

 

8. A bright hued bangle is the perfect gift for the mom who loves a pop of colour.  We're a bit obsessed with this flame shade bangle from J.Crew $28).
