bdTrial: Mother’s Day gifts

The BD team spill on their top picks for mums this year.

 
Offering something different in the way of Mother’s Day cards is not an easy feat, especially considering the sizeable amount my mum has lovingly collected. Ulta3 has taken on the task for themselves, offering daughters (and sons) in doubt the chance to kill two birds with one stone, with a card that doubles as a present. The brand’s Limited Edition Greeting Card comes with a full-sized nail polish, offering five different shades to choose from. - Sarah

My mum is proud of the fact she's only worn make-up for two days in her life – once when she got married and once when my sister got married (and I'm sure if I get married, she'll find it in herself to wheel it out again). But the same can't be said for skincare. Every morning and night – mum diligently applies her cleansers, moisturisers, and sunscreens. While she loves anything I give her, her eyes especially light up when she scores a luxe skincare gifting. This is why she will be over the moon with Elemis' Pro-Collagen Night Time Collection. Featuring Pro-Collagen Marine Mask, Pro-Collagen Oxygenating Night Cream, Pro-Collagen Hydra-Gel Eye Mask, Deluxe Sleeping Eye Shade, and Luxury Vanity Case, the pack works to deliver firmer-looking, replenished skin. The perfect gift. - Yelena

 
Even though I’m not a mum myself, I can safely say the Kosmea Mum and Baby Collection pack is the perfect gift for any mum with a little one. The pack contains five of Kosmea’s most popular products; including the Hydrating Rosewater Mist, Rose Hip Oil, Rescue Balm, Rescue Body Cream and the Five Minute Facial Muslin Cloth. These products hydrate, protect and pamper while also being gentle enough for a baby’s sensitive skin. I will be keeping this one in mind for the future! - Laura

 
My mum, like many, is deserving of all the best things life has to offer. However, again, like many, she has a habit of putting herself last (read: she "forgets" to relax and recharge). This Berry Beautiful Gift Pack is a present I know she'll love because she doesn't need to leave home to indulge in a little TLC – win! Containing the Berry Fresh Cleansing Oil-Gel, Berry Bath Drops and the Berry Buff Smoothie Body Scrub, the scents of each product work together to create a calming home-spa experience. And packed full of antioxidants, I know my mum's skin will be well looked-after! - Sophia

Mother’s Day is so special, it makes me realise how lucky I am. From the time babies are conceived, a lifelong unpaid job commences, one that mums do with a smile. Obviously a beautifully written card is the one thing we can do to make them smile on Mother’s Day, but the added bonus of some lovely products doesn’t hurt! My mum is going to adore this gift set from Natio, with a heavenly hand cream and perfume inside. - Kelly
