Last Minute Mothers Day Gift Ideas 2016

This post is really last minute, but hopefully my Mothers Day gift ideas will help you out if you haven’t been able to pick anything up yet or if you want to add something a little extra.
Pamper your mum
mothers day Mothers day is a chance for your mum to put her feet up and relax. You could have a DVD day or a ‘spa’ day. Two movies I highly recommend are Big Eyes and (if she likes comedy movies) Get Hard. I think that scented candles always create a great ambiance for relaxing, if you can’t afford the full-size glasshouse candles the minis are great too (their scent throw is amazing), they’re available at Peter Alexander and David Jones. also pictured- *Ulta3 Mothers Day gift card with nail polish attached and Care and Repair Nail nurture kit, available at selected Pharmacies.

Below are the other *Ulta3 Mothers Day Cards that are available

For Creative mums
mothers dayAbove is a selection of items that would be great for the creative mums. The Fujifilm instax mini 8 is great for capturing candid wallet sized photos, I’ve seen at target they now also have a new range of frames and accessories specifically for the instax prints. Also pictured- A great little inspirational book of mantras, quotes and words of wisdom, A note book for her thoughts and ideas and ‘The Urban Canvas’ book of colour-in postcards, both from Typo.

Happy Mother’s day for tomorrow to all the mum’s (including my mum) & grandmothers. I hope you all have a lovely day. Also thoughts to all whose mums are no longer with them.

Valentines day gift Ideas for single ladies

This isn’t going to be a BS ‘down with Valentine’s day, I don’t need a man’ post, where I just wallow in self-pity…but rather a list of Valentines Day gift ideas to celebrate your single BFFS, your mum, sister or even yourself! (as if you need an excuse to buy yourself ‘gifts’)

While there are things I hate about Valentine’s Day, there a things I love about it too. I don’t like that every store/brand/restaurant assumes everyone is in a relationship, but I do love all the cutesy heart-shaped things and special release products that are in stores around this time! I’ve always been obsessed with heart shapes, drawing them on my notepads in school just because I like the way they look. I will always believe in romance, even if it never happens for me.

Glasshouse Verona- A Dozen Roses mini candle, 60g  RRP$21.95- I love the smell of roses, so I knew straight away that I would love this candle! It is definitely a ‘true’ rose scent, but along with the other notes, it isn’t overbearing. It is available in the large size- 350g and mini-60g (which is surprising, LE candles hardly ever get released as minis!) The thing I love the most about Verona, is the beautiful jar that has silver cursive writing all over it!

IMG_0034Limited Editions Marquee Heart Light- Red from Target, RRP $40- As soon as I saw this marquee light I knew I had to get one. I have seen heart Marquee lights at a few different stores, but the Target one looked like the best quality (and was one of the cheaper ones!), Target also has other marquee lights in different shapes…star, ampersand (&) and arrow.

IMG_0014Beyonce Heat Wild Orchid EDP 50ml, RRP$59 from Priceline and other perfume stockists- This fragrance is gorgeous! I it is a fruity-floral scent, but without being sickly sweet. It smells fairly unique too…sometimes perfumes can smell similar to other scents. I purchased mine from Chemist Warehouse when they had a sale on, for $39.95. It’s in a pretty magenta bottle too!

IMG_0022FUJIFILM Instax Mini 8 Camera- Pink RRP $99- I purchased this camera early last year and I love it. It takes clear wallet sized Polaroids and has a few different settings. It comes in a few different colours too. You can now also buy a photo album to keep your prints in, from Target!

IMG_0019Hope you have a great Valentine’s Day, whether you are in a relationship or not!
