I’m an Editor Who Buys All My Beauty Gifts From Boots—Here Are My Mother’s Day Picks

This spa-inspired hand care duo is a great gift during these colder months. The hand wash contains walnut shell powder to gently exfoliate for soft and smooth hands, whilst the lotion adds extra hydration and softness.

Who wouldn’t want to receive a shower oil, salt scrub and body butter in Sanctuary Spa’s iconic signature scent? It’s all anyone needs for a cosy self-care night at home.

This Ted Baker pamper set is basically ultimate relaxation in a bag. Body spray? Check. Bath and shower oil? Check. Body butter? You guessed it. With a luxurious raspberry and orange fragrance, it’s an easy win.

If you’re looking for a fragrance everyone will love, look no further. Despite perfume traditionally being a difficult thing to choose for someone else, Gucci’s Bamboo Eau de Parfum for Her is known to be loved universally. With notes of deep sandalwood, heady Tahitian vanilla and unique grey amber, it’s a fail-safe.*

These little bottles are ideal for when they want to take their favourite perfume on the go. One of Elizabeth Arden’s most beloved fragrances, White Tea smells fresh, clean and elegant.

With three bodycare products enriched with nourishing coconut and rosehip oils to soothe and nurture growing bumps, this set is perfect for expectant mothers.

When we ask our beauty editors about their favourite floral fragrances, we know this one by Rabanne is sure to come up. With soft fruity-floral notes that include orange blossom, solar tiaré and ylang ylang, it’s also a French-girl favourite.*

Introducing Liz Earle to someone who has yet to discover the brand is perhaps the greatest gift of all. Super gentle and hydrating with lots of botanical extracts, its products are trusted by beauty insiders the world over. And if they’re already a fan, well, you can’t go wrong. Packed to the brim with some of the brand’s staple products, it is the ultimate Mother’s Day gift, especially for those with drier skin. Bonus: the products in the basket are worth £97, so they’re definitely in for a treat.*

No7 needs no introduction—it’s been a skincare and makeup go-to for decades. I actually own this set myself, and I really stand by the Future Renew collection. Helping make skin look plumper, glowier and more hydrated, it’s great for addressing signs of ageing, if that’s a concern.*

It may seem obvious to give someone a spa gift set for Mother’s Day, but trust me when I say that this one from Champneys is worthy. With a face mask, body balm, hand cream and bubble bath, it’s sure to induce calm, serenity and ultimate relaxation, which is exactly why I’ve purchased one for my sister.
