When it comes to buying a gift for Mother’s Day it can often be hard to think of something original that your mum will really love and use. And while bouquets of flowers and boxes of chocolate are always a good bet their shelf life is pretty short.
Beauty items however are always a sure fire winner and even if your mother doesn’t wear make-up we’re sure she’ll still be partial to a fresh new fragrance or scented candle. Here are favourite pampering treats that will definitely put a smile on the recipient’s face on March 11th . . .
