Mother’s Day 2017: The best fashion and beauty gifts
It’s time to celebrate the important women in your life
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.In case you missed the fanfare Mother’s Day is fast-approaching – it’s on Sunday, March 26th if you were wondering – and while there are no hard and fast rules about what you should get the woman in your life, you’ve still got to give it a go.
Whether it’s your mum, grandma, step-mother or mother-in-law, it’s time to celebrate all the women you know and love but forget a last-minute dash for flowers; this year, buy her something she really wants.
Shopping for a stylish mum? Luckily there are plenty of options that make it easy to spoil her.
For magpie maven’s you can never go wrong with a piece of jewellery but avoid the costume variety. Instead, opt for something simple, elegant yet seriously voguish like this pair of labradorite earrings from Chan Luu.
A trusty handbag is also a very handy gift, particularly when you get to borrow it – so invest in a timeless piece. We like this compact cross-body from Whistles; it’s perfect for carrying daily essentials and guarantees to make an impact in the style stakes.
Alternatively, opt for something that will bring a touch of luxury to her down-time with a indulgent pair of pyjamas or a cosy pair of slippers to help her relax after a long day.
Likewise, spoiling her with a bath time treat will also to do the trick and Lush have an amazing range of limited edition products on offer. Our favourite is the Happy Mother’s Day gift set which comes with 13 items including everything from bath bombs and bubble bars to lip scrubs and soaps.
If she’s a real beauty buff, richly scented candles or an exquisite fragrance offer the perfect alternative to a fresh spring bouquet; plus they have the added bonue of lasting a lot longer.
For those who prefer lighter whiffs Mon Guerlain offers a fresh, oriental fragrance while Jo Malone’s Dark Amber & Ginger Lily Cologne will satisfy those with a penchant for sensual, woody scents.
