Mother's day is just around the corner (at least in Ireland anyway), May 26th to be exact. If you are reading this with no idea what to get or you didn't even know how close Mother's day was well here is a gift guide that I hope will help. I tried to include gifts from a multitude of different price budgets depending on how much you are able to spend so let's just get started shall we.
Free:
Breakfast in bed - If like me you have very little money on hand at the moment something free is probably best so breakfast in bed is a great option. Everyone knows how to whip up some form of egg such as an omelette or scrambled eggs. Pairing that with toast and tea is sure to go down a treat. However you could get really fancy with pancakes, waffles, bacon, fruit salad and the list goes on and on. Getting breakfast made for them will be a treat that they will enjoy and most definitely deserve.
Under €20:
Flowers - A bouquet of flowers is a standard option that most people go for but who can say they would not like to receive a bouquet of flowers whether they were purchased at a supermarket or from a florist. I would love either and depending on your budget you can go big or a few simple flowers. The options are endless with this, get your mothers favourite flowers or just flowers in her favourite colour.

Lush box - There is a very reasonably priced Lush box for sale that says 'For Mum'. It includes a bath bomb and a bubble bar so that on Mothers day your mom can have a relaxing pamper day. It retails for €14.50 which for a lush box is very reasonable.

Under €40:
Moisturiser - Clinique dramatically different moisturising lotion has rave reviews. I have yet to try it myself but will definitely be in the near future hopefully. Why not allow your mom to try it to give you a review of it because as they say mothers are never wrong. It retails for €33.60.

Candles - Candles are another thing that are needed for a relaxing day/evening/night. The candle you get depends on your mothers scent preference. My mother loves floral scents so anything like that would suit her. A brand that has many different scents is Yankee candle. They have any scent you could want or need. Prices vary and you can get small jars or large jars depending on how much you want to spend.
Under €60:
Bracelets - Pandora has the greatest selection of jewellery but there bracelets are by far my favourite. They have there charm bracelets but they have other cool bracelets that I want and may end up getting. There is 2 bracelets that have diamond details that really caught my eye.
The hearts of pandora bracelet costs €49.

So I hope you guys enjoyed this gift guide and that it gave you some inspiration or ideas for what to buy your mother or grandmother or godmother or any other motherly figure in your life for mothers day. They deserve so much more than can physically be bought but spoiling them helps. I'm probably going to buy my mother something from this gift guide so lets hope she doesn't see this. I'll see you next Monday for another blog post.
XO, Amber.
