Best Mother’s Day Gifts In 2022

For an easy gifting win

Sure, it’s a Mother’s Day cliché, but never underestimate the power of a good candle, especially one from Jo Malone London. Every scent in the lineup is i-n-c-r-e-d-i-b-l-e, but English Pear and Freesia is my pick thanks to its satisfying blend of fresh, fruity and floral notes - the perfect partner to a blissful soak or cosy evenings in. Plus, it comes nestled in a fancy box tied with a ribbon, so no need for any extra wrapping. - AH

For the perfect wake-up call

Aromatherapy oils aren’t just for evening wind-downs, case in point, Revive is just the tonic if you’re far from an early bird but need to get moving in the morning. It contains an energising mix of Grapefruit, Rosemary and Juniper for a zingy start to the day. Add a few drops directly into your bath or, as the brand suggests, rub into your hands, apply onto your torso, and cup your hands to your nose to inhale the scent deeply, before stepping into the water. - AH

For the one who wants to look forever-young

A bonafide classic, Clarins Double Serum is powered by no less than 21 potent plant extracts which work to address key signs of skin ageing - brightening, firming, hydrating and plumping-up fine lines. The thing that sets this one apart is its ability to work wonders on all skin types and ages - so your mum will definitely see the benefits. Whether she’s dedicated to her 10-step routine or relatively clueless when it comes to skincare, it’s a winner in my book. - AH

For the mum who loves to pamper her peepers

Trust me when I say this is eye-enhancing magic. A lightweight formula with endless five-star reviews, it helps lessen the look of puffiness, dark circles and fine lines. In other words, this cream ticks every box. A game-changing step to add to her beauty routine, your mum will thank you big time for this one. Oh, and did I mention it helps hold eye makeup in place? Yep, it’s that good. Apply morning and night – both under eyes and on lids – using a gentle patting motion. - EK

For hardworking hands

After a harsh winter and endless sanitising throughout lockdown, everyone’s hands are feeling a bit sore and weather-worn. If your mum’s suffering with cracked knuckles and dry skin, then Aesop’s Resurrection hand balm is the way to go. Blended with a fragrant mix of barrier-loving botanicals, this moisture-locking balm soothes and hydrates without that an­­noying greasy feeling. It sinks in straight away, leaving hands and cuticles silky-soft and supple. Plus, it smells like a dream. Win-win. - EK

For out-of-this world gifting

These celestial self-heating eye masks will transport your mum to another dimension. Their gentle warmth soothes and relieves tired, strained eyes and any other Earthly tensions (like your dad’s constant complaining, for starters). Infused with Essence of Jasmine to impart a calming aroma, these twinkling Spacemasks are the perfect tool for a bit of tranquil me-time. Tip: The warmth comes as soon as you open the mask, so ensure you’re fully reclined, relaxed and ready for lift off. - EK
