Bodyshop have a large range of gifts mum will adore from handcare, haircare, bath and body and fragrance. Some come in gift boxes whilst others are in pouches or bags. We love the Lather and Slather set especially in the rose fragrance. Go on line or pop into your local branch of The Body Shop to experience these lovely treats and I dare you to leave without buying one just for yourself.

Clarins New Hand and Nail Treatment Balm has all the expertise of their iconic cream formula. This nourishing balm has a plant powered formula of organic shea butter, organic white mulberry – that helps reduce age spots, organic sesame oil and organic baobah to strengthen nails. A much appreciated luxury gift, that she really deserves, to help those housework hands.

Sisley’s Black Rose Cream Mask offers skin instant youth. Rich in active anti-ageing ingredients it immediately gets to work on signs of fatigue and leaves skin energised. It’s one of those products that mum wouldn’t buy for herself so go on and treat her to it.

L’Occitane has so many gifts that you will be spoiled for choice whether you visit the lovely boutique in the Victoria Quarter, Leeds or shop on line. Skincare sets include an Immortelle Face Care Routine with a makeup remover, toner and travel size Divine cream all in the powerful anti-ageing formula. There Bath and Body Care -sets we love the indulgent Almond and the Verbena Collections  and a selection of fragrances from Herbae – Luxury Collection inspired by the grass of Provence to the three different Rose fragrances.  Top of our wish list are the travel sets that come in their own fabric zip bags such as Clary Sage they all have everything for an overnight stay or a few days staycation.

Mothers Day wouldn’t be Mothers Day without a trip into Lush. There’s pocket money presents in the form of the famous bath bombs – we love the new Rose Gold Bath Bomb and the Elephant in the Room version. There’s gift sets to suit every pocket with the most uplifting products and fun names and lots of pampering treats – do try the new Mimosa shower gel . Or if you are stuck for a special gift idea why not treat her to a voucher for a treatment at the Lush Spa – there’s one in Leeds.
