What are your top recommendations for Mother’s Day gifts?
That candle looks beautiful
Yes it sure does, all of these items are a great idea.
A beautiful candle
The container it is in looks worth it on it’s own
Love the YSL
Looking up the cake now…
It does look special
It looks lovely and quite good value I thought.
T2 is always a winner with my mum
A new nail colour perhaps.
Love the teapot, so cute
I love the look of it but prefer a taller narrow cup to keep my tea hot
I love the candle -wow!!
Isn’t the T2 Classic Collection Tea for one Gift Pack lovely. Beautiful cup and saucer and I am sure the tea would be terrific as well.
I am wondering if any mothers out there will get any of these products for a gift for mothers day. ??
that cake just looks so nice. Yummy !!
The candle looks nice and the teapot is cute, I think if you know your mum well enough then you will know what type of gift to buy.
I would not mind the cake, it looks yummy!
Yes, I could faceplant that cake!
That Morgan & Finch ceramic jar is so cute!
The T2 box is pretty but I don’t drink those teas. (Don’t have a mum to buy for).
Always like T2 and on specials days of the year they come out with lovely things and good offers.
The Morgan and Finch candle is an exceptionally good price.
I no longer have a mum to buy for, and I’ll be happy with whatever I receive.
OPI looks so good
Teapot and tea is perfect for my 87 year old mum, she won’t use anything else on the list here.
The T2 pack looks lovely
I am pretty sure my husband and kids have forgotten again. We’ll see tomorrow…
Same day cake delivery? Sign me up!
My mum loves tea & candles so probably those two gifts & flowers
I always love candles.
