Afternoon tea hamper 3

*Disclosure – Gifted samples featured.

Mother’s Day is just around the corner and I have put together a guide that is packed with beautiful Mother’s Day gift ideas. From fragrances, yummy hampers to beautiful homeware, we’re sharing it all!
I hope this gives you lots of inspiration.
I would also like to add, that my thoughts go out to those of us who no longer have our mum around and to those who find this time of year particularly tough. Keeping you all in my thoughts.

Homeware

This has to be my absolute favourite item in our living room! Meet Benton the bull footstool from RedCandy. Isn’t he awesome?! Let mum put her feet up in style this Mother’s Day.
Benton is quite a generous size! His dimensions are – L59 x W32 x H36cm.

The footstool has a durable yet soft leatherette covering, four wooden legs and super cute fabric horns. The colour is quite neutral so he would fit in many styles of living room decor.
We have mocha leather sofas and warm tones so he fits in really well. He is quite versatile too! Benton also makes a fun seat for my youngest. We love Benton. No bull! (sorry).

Why not treat mum to a beautiful mother daughter ring. There are some lovely designs available including the infamous eternity knot which consists of AAA Grade Cubic Zirconias. I think they make lovely keepsakes to show mum how much she means to you.

I’m in love with this adorable Once Upon a Time There Were Four Little Rabbits” Peter Rabbit Storybook from Beatrix Potter Gifts by Enesco.

As you may know, I personally collect these and once you have one, you really do get the collectors bug and have to have more.

  1. You’ve included lots of great ideas, but my favorite is Benton the bull! He is so cute and he looks well-made and sturdy too. I hope you have a fabulous week! #MMBC

  2. We love the ARRAN Sense of Scotland products – especially the grapefruit fragrances. I was luck enough to have an Advent calendar from them. Such a treat! I love Benton too :o)

  3. Do I see anything I like? Yes, please, so much. What a fabulous gift list. I love the footstool, I want one of those. I’m also a big fan of Aduna but I’ve not tried their beauty oils. Also, I’d be happy with the Fentimans, the Indian Spices, The afternoon tea and the books. I think my Mother-in-law would like the afternoon tea and the photobook. You’ve given me so many ideas. I had a dream about my Mum last night, I guess it must be all the talk of Mother’s Day. She’s easy to buy for, you can only put flowers on her grave (we are not allowed plants!) x

  4. I would love the Indian spice set! Not only would I use the spices for authentic meals but how beautiful does it look!
