Mother’s Day Gift Guide: Beauty

It’s Tuesday! And today I’m bringing you another gift guide for Mother’s Day. In case you missed the previous one on sleepwear, check it out here. Today, it’s all about beauty. What mom doesn’t love a new fragrance or gift set full of her favorites? I know as a mother myself I love it, but growing up and actually still today, my mom loves it too. I can still picture her opening a gift from my dad, and whatever the gift was, there was always something she wanted us girls to smell. And it always smelled so good.

To make it easier to shop for your mom’s special day, Nordstrom has a wonderful selection of Mother’s Day Gift Sets right now. I love how they do this with each holiday, like they did for Valentine’s and Christmas. They simplify and organize your shopping experience with specific sections dedicated to what you may be looking for, for a particular upcoming holiday. Below are just a few of my favorite beauty gifts available…

Crabtree & Evelyn Hand Therapy Tin Box (First of all, the box is already pretty enough, but inside you get 12 different hand therapy lotions to try!) // Crabtree & Evelyn ‘Pear & Pink Magnolia’ Set (Love this magnolia scent, and the pink case it comes with is so pretty!) // Flowerbomb Gift Set (This fragrance is one I still own and love. It’s also currently on sale because they’re price matching. A great deal!) // Diptyque Mini Candles (These little candles make a great gift, and the Baies scent is one I have in my bathroom near my sink. Such a clean, fresh smell.) // YSL Manifesto Rollerball // Fresh Gardenia Magnolia Soap (Two amazing fragrances in one soap. I bet this smells heavenly.) // Angel by Thierry Mugler Set (Another fragrance I own and love, and currently being price matched. A great one for a night out.) // Creed Millesime Imperial Soap // Jo Malone Collection (If you or your mother are big fans, you’ll know it’s a good gift as soon as you see the pretty box.) // Kiehl’s Soy Milk & Honey Whipped Body Butter (This stuff is so good. Extra moisturizing. Your mother will be thanking you for years to come!)

One of my favorite fragrances right now is Tory Burch. Her scent is understated, but just fragrant enough that I can wear it as a daily perfume too. And if ordered soon, you’ll receive a free mini perfume (.24oz) with your $115 Tory Burch beauty purchase.

If your mom loves new make-up, there are some pretty great make-up sets from some of my favorite brands that just came out, as well. All great gifts too.

Lancôme Hypnôse Drama Set // Bobbi Brown Modern Classics Kit // Lorac ‘Real Life to Red Carpet’ Face Tutorial // Clinique ‘Spring Into Color’ Set // YSL Lip Set // YSL Wildly Gold Limited Edition Palette // NARSissist Limited Edition Eyeshadow Palette // Urban Decay Naked on the Run Palette

Seriously though, Mother’s Day is only 20 days away. I know that still seems far off, but what a genius move to have it already ordered, so you’re not waiting until the last minute to shop for her. Then you can take a little extra time to wrap her gift all fancy. That’s another reason I like gift sets. The boxes are much easier to wrap, and if she has a favorite brand, she can try a sampling of each without having to buy the larger size. Unfortunately, I can’t share what I’ll be getting my own mother as she reads my blog from time to time, but I’ll definitely share it afterward! Hint: It’s one of the gifts featured in Nordstrom’s Top 100 Gifts for Mom.
