A fact that needs to be acknowledged universally is that mothers deserve to be celebrated throughout the year, not just one day in particular. However, no amount of gifts will ever make up for the sacrifices, efforts and energy our lovely mommas have put in for us. On some days, after a tiring day at work, all you want to do is curl up in your mum’s lap while she strokes your hair and tells you it’s all going to be okay, no? Or is it just me who wishes she could do that more often than she’d like?
For most of us, our first tryst with all things beauty began with secretly using our mum’s skincare and makeup products. I remember waiting for my mum to leave the house so I could get my hands on her lipsticks because she had the coolest collection! I’m certain you’ve done this too, amirite? This time around you could make her day a tad bit special with all of these beautiful gifts. Hint: They’re all so good, you might wanna steal them from her just like you used to years ago!
L’Occitane, The Rose Collection
Does anybody else have a few faint memories of our mums telling us how the rose is the ultimate ingredient when it comes to skincare? L’Occitane’s rose collection comes enriched with rose centifolia floral water from Provence. It has a deliciously floral scent that happens to be long-lasting and leaves your skin supple and soft. A symbol of the purest kind of love, who doesn’t love a good rose body care collection? You could choose from a body lotion, a shower gel, a hand cream, an eau de toilette or gift your mum the entire range!
Geetanjali Salon, Multiple services
Okay, who took you on your first trip to the salon? The one where you were visibly excited about something as simple as getting your hair trimmed. Your mum did! Our mums defo need a lot of pampering considering what their whole day looks like. Treat her to a variety of luxurious services at the Geetanjali Salon which has multiple outlets. Not only do they offer almost every hair service under the sun, including hair treatments and hair spas but they also have some opulent spa services that Momma is just gonna love! A day out to the salon sounds like an ideal gift to me.
Global Beauty Secrets, Royal Range
How often has your mum schooled you on the benefits of Indian ingredients for your skin and hair? I mean, every time I use a face mask at home, my mum tells me she could make me a better one. Anybody else? That’s exactly why Global Beauty Secrets’ royal range is a perfect pick since it blends ancient beauty secrets with modern beauty products. Ingredients like hibiscus, mahua and sandalwood make an appearance in this range. The powerful yet calming scents will certainly be something your mother absolutely enjoys.

Always running behind the anti-ageing bandwagon, no? If your mum happens to be one of those, Estée Lauder’s 5 piece advanced night repair set is literally all she’s going to want. It’s no secret that the advanced night repair serum has often been touted as “Liquid Gold”. This particular collection is one that strives to reduce the appearance of fine lines and subtle wrinkles all whilst making the skin as plump and radiant as ever, especially when used all together. It contains a treatment lotion, the advanced night repair serum, an intense reset concentrate, a micro cleansing foam and an eye cream.
Ruby’s Organics, Ruby’s Essentials
If you’re like me and you’ve learnt almost everything about beauty from your lovely momma, it’s kinda fun teaching her a thing or two about it too.

Their Ruby’s essentials kit is a great makeup starter kit that’s made with organic ingredients and is devoid of chemical preservatives.
