It’s Mothers Day and these lists are for the last minute shoppers that are leaving it to this Saturday to get it together and find the extra special thing for their amazing mums, to pamper her, to say thank you, and to say she is wonderful. It’s a bit daunting as it happens every year, so even though you might have found the perfect gift last year, you have to do it all again. I have a Lux List and a “Lux for less” list. Hope you find something for your special mum!
Lux List
coloured platters
various platters
white platter
A special Platter from Dinosaur Designs. Its always a unique piece as each is like a piece of art in stunning colours, all hand poured and hand finished. The colour seems to radiate out from them, so on your table they can add amazing style. There must be a colour there your mum loves, or if in doubt, you can always get the white! From $150 and up.
Louis Vuitton Business Card holder $285
Louis Vuitton Key Pouch $230
Louis Vuitton Passport Holder $370
A designer something.
Dolce and Gabbana bag
from David Jones
It doesn’t need to be this Dolce and Gabanna bag but of course it could be if money wasn’t a concern!
Instead a Louis Vuitton card holder is expensive but not too crazy. Or there is the Passport holder or the key case…Classic design, timeless and always in style.
The Lux for Less List.
Naked Eye Pallete $29
This is the best make up palate from Naked at Sephora. They are fabulous, with dense colours, in the best basic brown tones and no glitter, fabulous for older skin. No need to highlight that the skin may not be as taunt and smooth as when she was young!
Pink Lily Shoe Boxes Pack of 10 $44
Plastic see through containers for her shoes.
Your mum may have quite a collection of shoes. What a bonus that you don’t have to think of a new idea ever again… Just give her more next year! Use for those special heels that don’t really get used all the time, then these amazing containers will hold them beautifully at the bottom of the cupboard and she can actually see what shoes she has, as well as keeping them protected from being squashed.
Lux for Less
Crabtree and Evelyn La Source Hand cream small size $10
This handy handbag hero is fabulous in a gorgeous rich cream that gets really into your skin and its effect is long lasting.
Two Tone Zip Pouch Country Road $29.95
Get a little make up bag. Pop in her favourite lipstick, a cleaning cloth for her sunglasses, (we know that the one we got with the glasses is of course lost after the first week. Include a spray as well for a professional clean. Both available from optometrists), a little pack of tissues, a packet of tic tacs, a lovely pen, a lip gloss, a diamond nail file and chocolate bar…it should be dark chocolate as we know that this is really the best medicine! And pop in that hand creme too!
Scarftastic Pink Lily $19
A couple of scarf hangers. Especially during the winter, where it gets a bit boring folding them up every time you use one and trying to search for the right one. You know we all do it, where the drawer is neat one minute but when you are in a hurry, they end up in a crumpled mess. This is a great fix so that are all hung. Include a great scarf too like the ones I have talked about on previous posts from Country Road.
Pink Lily Hangtastic from $25
A set of really good hangers that work. Nothing like a good hanger for your clothes! Maybe give her a gift voucher so she can buy some clothes to go on these hangers too. Dont give clothes, as it is almost a guarantee that she will want to choose the clothes. So go with her and make it an event by sharing a a cup of coffee or lunch on the trip. Even enjoying a drink afterwards at a nice bar with bags of purchases around her is a dream that all us women would like! Very New York Style!
LED Mounted Wall Light Mirror Howards Storage World $84.95
Led Table Mirror Howards Storage $84.95
If your mum wears glasses, then she will love these gifts. The illuminated mirrors magnifies and lights up the face for her while she is doing her makeup. No more squinting and messy eye makeup!
Lipstick Holder 12 piece Howards Storage World $10.95
A lipstick container. I am a bit obsessed with lipstick, so if your mum is the same, then she might just love a container to keep them all neatly and help to organise her things. Howards Storage World has a huge range of containers so you could get a few different ones for makeup and jewellery.
Country Road Utensil Container, Trivot and small bowl, all sold separately from $24.95
Marble. Looks so luxurious and I love these small bowls, that you could use for salt and pepper. Left on the bench while you cook, its practical and beautiful! There are other things in marble at Country Road, like a Utensil holder, a trivot, a wall clock, and cheese boards. Fantastic for the mum who loves to cook. Just remember to add to these with beautiful products, to make it event more fun, like French Salt, or new Utensils, cheese and cheese knives..
The more you make it a whole present with these added on things, then it will show how much you effort you made and how much you care for your amazing Mum!
