Do you get the phone call? Mum. What would you like for mother’s day? We have no idea what to buy you. I get this call every year, so I’m ahead of their game and I’ve made a wish list!
When they call now I will just tell them to look at the blog post aimed at them. I get that call and I can never think of anything on the spot. Now they have no excuses, But I don’t want three of the same, and you will have to talk amongst yourselves! (I have received doubles before Haven’t I?)
I’ve created a list here of items that I would love to own, plus there are some items that I already have that I think would make wonderful presents for mothers day or any other special time of year.
Buy me pearls any mother’s day!
I have recently been gifted these pearl ear jackets from Claudia Bradby. My collection grows from this fabulous brand. If you’re a regular reader then you will have seen the posts or items that I feature regularly.
Pearls are having a big moment regarding trends but pearls will never date, will they? I didn’t have any pearl earrings and I will wear these on a near-daily basis. Classic chic earrings, I’ve chosen the Duo Pink Pearl but they are available in other colours as well. You can also wear these as single studs too. I have my eye on the silver ear cuffs too (hint hint!)

Accessories that I wouldn’t normally buy myself that I would treasure

A Beauty Box is always welcome
I’ve recently been gifted this gorgeous set of skincare by Espa. I was just as excited about receiving the beautiful faux flowers that were in the box too. I love peonies and I think these are so pretty.
Espa skincare has been on my wishlist for ages. I’ve read a lot about this product and I’m looking forward to reporting back to you all with results. I think this is a great mother’s day gift idea and it came beautifully boxed. There’s a complimentary gift on orders over £70.00 at the moment, so you can have an extra treat. The collection contains Peony and Neroli I always get on well with anything that contains Neroli and It smells amazing!
Here’s what Espa says
“Take ownership of healthy, youthful-looking skin with an exceptional moisturiser powered by cutting edge pre and probiotic technology, for naturally beautiful skin and inner calm.”
“The unique ProBiome Complex contains Peony extract to revitalise, energise and purify the skin, a potent microalgae to help protect the appearance of the skin from lifestyle stressors and an uplifting Neroli blend to soothe and calm the senses.”
A subscription or day’s out

Makeup Tailored to you – I’m blown away by the BFF!
I spoke about the BFF (Best Friend Forever) in my last post. There are now, some new items to try. Miracle Blur and BFF Eye. I have been gifted these to try and there will be a makeup post coming up. Take a look at the website, pop your (or your mother’s) match 2 me skin hair and eye colour to find out what your colour shades are. I was skeptical about this but it works!
I’ve been so impressed with the BFF I mentioned it in the Women’s Own magazine feature that I spoke about last week. There’s no going back and the BFF will always be in my makeup bag from now on.
Loungewear – you can’t go wrong!

The earrings are so pretty, I usually get flowers from my son’s for mother’s day, as I have 4 son’s, I often get more flowers than I have vauses#bloggerclubuk@_karendennis

Nothing wrong with that! Buy more vases! I love a house full of flowers xx
Ha! There’s nothing like being prepared – but agree, being put on the spot isn’t helpful! Thanks for sharing with #PoCoLo

Some great ideas Laurie and you can’t go wrong with pearls especially as they are on trend.
Author
Thanks Anna. Pearls will never date either will they xx
Lovely gift ideas Laurie! I reckon I’m in the market for some new jewellery and seeing as my kidults keep boomeranging back home – with their dirty washing – I think I deserve some too! You look wonderful – as always! 😘😘 Lisa xx
Author
Lisa. I know how loved you are by your children. You are a fantastic mum and I’m sure you deserve something special. And I bet it will be special xx
Ha ha Laurie as you say every year the same conundrum from my teens despite my frequent hint dropping. Like all the ideas you have here for me as well as my own mother. I have to say a lovely gift of skin products ticks my boxes every time and ESPA is one of my favourties. The BFF serum is a new one so will take a look at that too. Hope you get what you want! #PoCoLo
Author
Thanks, Jo. The shout out on this post has worked! I know of one item listed here has been brought. Hurrah! I’m looking forward to trying the Espa products. Just finishing up on another review first xx
Thanks! Great ideas!

Thanks Rosie. Thanks for stopping by xx
all i ever ask for from my kids is that they remember important events like this. I love receiving a bunch of daffs, toiletries or even a cake, I don’t need or want expensive gifts, just their time #triumphanttales
Author
Oh I’m with you on that. I know that my daughter will have to remind one of my sons! I hope you have a good one xx
Oh my goodness, what a fun post! I loved all your choices! And you are right, that call is going to come. Or text. “Mom, what do you want for Mother’s Day?” Usually I ask my sons to plant flowers in the flower beds for summer. But I may switch to some of these other options!
Author
Hi Amy! I actually like the idea of flower beds too! Maybe next year. The list worked well because I know I already have one of these gifts. Thanks so much for stopping by xx
Great ideas! Thanks for linking up with us at the #WednesdayAIMLinkParty 33
Author
Thank you xx
What a useful post for us busy working women Laurie. I need to copy some of these into my family Whatsapp so that they get the hint! Have a lovely weekend x
Author
Yes. Hints are good I think. Our kids must wonder what to get a blogger mum I guess Anna xx
Lovely post and some great ideas. Happy mother’s day!

It will be interesting to see if the kids pick up on any of these ideas Alison. I will report back xx
Mother’s day… as a mother of 4 ages 1 to 12, I really would love like a day out at the spa or a massage since I have never experience either at a professional place. But this year, I will be able with looking forward to our trip to France 2 weeks after Mother’s day!
Author
That’s lovely Mireille. I’m sure you will enjoy that. I’ve never been to France. It’s a wish list destination xx
Love this list. I love the pearl collection –
Happy Mother’s day
Author
Thanks, Chez. My collection of undateables is growing nicely. I wear them a lot xx
Gorgeous post Laurie and also a brilliant idea haha! There are so many delicious things here – it makes me very happy ;O) xx
Author
Are you like me, Maria? I love making wish lists! xx
You’re so smart for thinking of these things this far ahead! I usually tell the kids to get my a Starbucks gift card, which is received by eye rolls!
Author
That’s actually quite a good idea Kim. I love the afternoon tea idea. I just love going to decadent places to be nosey! xx
A lovely post, and snap mine’s going out tomorrow – let’s hope the kids get the hints I’ve dropped in it! Lovely box of goodies, and what pretty flowers – would love that too. Thanks for sharing and hope you get all you want my friend. Jacqui Mummabstylish
