Family and lifestyle trends for Autumn 2018

Mother’s Day is fast approaching, in fact it is less than two weeks away, so let your Mum know how much she means to you with one of our stunning unique gifts. Also don’t forget to start dropping hints to your partner and children that Mother’s Day is on the horizon as we wouldn’t want you to miss out on getting a gift too. There are plenty of ideas here in our gift guide, and there is bound to be something for your Mum or something that you would love for yourself.

To help celebrate all the hard work that us Mums do I’m giving you the chance to win one of our “Chocolate Is For Life Not Just For Easter” Kitchen Tea Towels for your Mum (or yourself), which would definitely make Mother’s Day so much better. For a chance to win this special treat simply head over to my Instagram to enter.

Quick Dry Beach Towel

These are ideal for long sun filled days on the beach. Our Quick Dry Beach Towels are lightweight eye-catching and are available in three stunning shades: blue, pink or rainbow stripe. One of the best things about these towels is that they help to dry you three times as fast as a normal towel, they cover a sunbed, plus they repel the sand, making these an ideal gift if your Mum is about to head off to the beach.

Luxury linen “Wake Daddy Up” Eye Mask

I love this! It’s a really funny gift to buy and I’m sure that all the Mums out there will be rejoicing when they see this. So if your Mum could definitely do with a lie-in, or if you need one for yourself, then this Luxury Linen Eye Mask makes an ideal gift or a perfect gift for you to drop a hint about. Now if only the clocks didn’t go forward on Mother’s Day as well!

Quick Dry Hair Wraps

Just like the beach towels our Quick Dry Hair Wraps will help your Mum dry her hair in no time at all. Whilst allowing her to get on with things or simply sit in the sunshine, this hair wrap will dry her hair three times faster than a normal towel. They are lightweight, stylish and come in a matching stripey box. I would love one for myself to use it to dry my hair after a dip in the pool, now I just need to choose between blue, pink, green or grey.

Orla Kiely Tea Light Lanterns

We love these here at Gift It 2. These Orla Kiely Tea Light Lanterns would make an excellent Mother’s Day Gift, they are great value and would look lovely inside or outside the home on a warm summer’s evening. Now all you have to do is to decide on the colour; choose from Slate, Persimmon, Dandelion or Duck Egg, or whether to buy one, or two or the whole set.

The Beach Glass

If your Mum enjoys a cocktail or a drink in the sunshine on holiday then the Beach Glass is for her. All she’ll need to do is sit back and relax, and let the sand, decking or grass be the support for her drink. They’ll never be a reason for her drink to get knocked over again, and she’ll look stylish sipping away on one of these.

Chocolate is for Life Tea Towel

“Chocolate is for Life” Kitchen Towel

Chocolate is definitely for life, and what could be better than making your Mum smile this Mother’s Day with this fun Tea Towel. It’ll look great in the kitchen and it’ll make her laugh every time she uses it. You could also pair it up with a box of chocolates, so there really no excuse for her not to enjoy chocolate on her special day.

“I did not” Water Bottle

Just like the Tea Towel this tongue-in-cheek, insulated Water Bottle will have your Mum giggling away. Whether she woke up looking and feeling flawless, or less so, then this gorgeous pink water bottle with its rose gold lid will tell the real story. It’s ideal for hot or cold drinks, so it’s perfect for that morning coffee on the school run or whilst out and about during the day.

Katie Cardew Cosmetic Bag

A classic Mother’s Day gift is the cosmetic bag. There is always a reason to have a new make-up bag, it makes the start to the day feel so much better, plus it’s a good reason for her to revitalise her make-up. We currently love the Peacock Cosmetic Bag, and it’s bound to turn a few heads when taken out and about with its chunky gold zip and stunning design.

“Monday Blink” Daily Planner

I’m pretty sure that we all agree that suddenly we blink and whoosh the weekend is gone in a flash and it’s Monday again. If this is the case and you want your Mum to stay on top of what she’s doing, where she needs to be, and also to remember what she did at the weekend, then this “Monday Blink” Daily Planner is for her.

“I am VERY busy” Mugs

We all admit to faffing around on social media, scrolling Instagram, taking a nap when we should be doing something else, and just generally time wasting. Do you agree? Is your Mum  a huge procrastinor who loves a gin and tonic in the evening? If so then this “I am VERY busy” Mug is for her. All she needs to do is hold it up whenever anyone asks her what she is doing …. the message is there in black and white!

We hope you enjoy our hand picked list of unusual gift ideas for Mother’s Day – either for your Mum or that you would love to have yourself.  Don’t forget if you would like to win one of our unique ‘Chocolate is for life’ Tea Towels, then head over to my Instagram competition. Good luck!

Best Wishes, Anne-Marie
