Possibly our best Mother’s Day Gift Guide to date, we’ve got all the classics, plus everything you’d never thought of to make Sunday 14th March a very special day for mama.
Partner in Wine (from £20)
‘Making socially distanced drinks a walk in the park’, Partner in Wine is a brand we wished we’d known about sooner, but the truth is, founder Lucy only came up with the genius idea while on the way to meet her friend for a socially distanced picnic last summer! Frustrated that her beloved bottle of rosé was warm by the time she got to drink it, she created the perfect solution – an insulated vacuum sealed bottle which fits a full 750ml bottle of wine in it, whilst keeping it cold for 24 hours (or hot for 12!)
The packaging is absolutely stunning, the bottles themselves are condensation free and what’s more they come in a gorgeous colour range from pastel pink to classic silver. As if that wasn’t enough, their complimenting sell out wine tumblers are equally as amazing.
Priced at £35 for the wine bottle and £20 for the tumbler, this has to be the coolest outdoor accessory we’ve ever come across. They’ll come in VERY handy in the next couple of months and of course, make the best gifts ever for Mother’s Day.
Urbanista London Earphones (£129.00)
Urbanista have just launched their awesome London range of earphones, so if mum likes to listen to music and podcasts, works out or walks, then you can’t go wrong with a gift like this.
Their most advanced earphones yet have numerous features including active noise cancelling, an ambient sound mode which will make outside voices louder so you don’t have to hit pause, and a whopping 25 hours of battery life for less charging and more listening!
We love the range of colours (the pink is gorgeous) and the cute little carry case is stylish and easy to carry around. With touch control and voice control, there’s tonnes of awesome features and we think they make the perfect present on Mother’s Day. Buy them from the Urbanista website priced at £129.00 in five different colours with customisable silicone tips.
Lanson Le Rosé Label Champagne (£40)
Even the fussiest of mums will be over the moon with a bottle of bubbles, and you can’t go wrong with Lanson’s Le Rosé Label Champagne.

Elie Saab Le Parfum (£45)
You could spray Elie Saab’s classic Le Parfum fragrance on a tester card and leave it in your pocket for a week and you’d be blown away by the lasting power of this gorgeous floral, sophisticated scent. The bottle is chic and feminine and the whole package emulates the dresses from Elie Saab’s haute collections.

We remain in awe of Angela Langford who as well as being a master baker (finalist of Masterchef UK in 2014), she’s also built and incredible skincare line of gorgeous products which are all totally natural.
Not only do they look good, smell great and really nourish your skin, you’ll always know exactly what’s in them – and you can’t say that about many products!
With a full range for face and body with recipes by skin type and skin concern, we love the sleep inducing ‘Dream a Little Dream’ bodywash which makes a great luxurious gift for Mother’s Day. Containing neroli, lavender and chamomile, the smell when you pop the lid just relaxes you instantly, while the body wash itself feels like a cleansing milk on the skin. It can be used both as a bubble bath or shower gel and is best used before bed for the ultimate in relaxation. Buy it here.

The perfect gin for spring, this award-winning Seven Hills Dry Gin is smooth and refreshing. With a unique blend of flavours including juniper, chamomile and pomegranate, it is delicate and effortlessly delicious. The Seven Hills distillers are proud of their Italian heritage and want to give you an authentic taste of Italy. Inspired by their Roman ancestors, all of the ingredients are locally sourced at the distillery near Turin, and they were all used in Roman times for culinary or medicinal purposes. This gin is specifically designed to create the perfect negroni: just add vermouth, bitter liqueur and a slice of orange. We also love it with a slice of lime in a good ol’ fashioned G&T! Just like the sleek bottle, this gin has no need for frills or fancy flavours: you really can’t beat a classic, Italian gin. (70cl/43%). Currently on offer from Amazon at £31.99
Olverum The Dry Body Oil (£38)
Olverum’s products seem to cast a spell over the Luxe Bible team whenever we use them – one that makes you repeatedly want to smell your own skin after using. Olverum products have a fascinating history dating back to 1931 in Germany with a closely guarded secret recipe – when you smell The Dry Body Oil, you’ll realise why!
In a slender, luxurious bottle, the oil itself is a lightweight mist, sinking effortlessly into skin while feeling deeply nourishing before leaving a dry finish which won’t rub off on clothes. The fragrance is something else – courtesy of the infusion of 30 essential and cold-pressed botanical oils and contains Alaria Esculenta extract known to boost hyaluronic and collagen production.

ESPA Restorative Candle (£35)
We unwrapped the ESPA Restorative Aromatic Candle and couldn’t believe the scent which travelled through the packaging to fill the room. If you’ve ever been to a spa which uses ESPA products, then you’ll be transported back there immediately, lulled into a soothing, relaxing cocoon! This particular candle is hand poured and the soy candle sits pretty in a white lacquered luxurious container adorned with the swirling ESPA logo and silver cover.
With a signature blend of aromatherapy oils, the infusion includes rose geranium, sweet orange, lavender and palmarosa for a scent which will comfort, calm and transport you to tranquility as soon as you light the wick, while making you feel like you’re perfectly in control.

The pretty bottles are gorgeously packaged as you’d expect from Ted Baker, while they’re a super handy size for mum’s handbag. We also love the limited edition 50ml Eau de Toilette Amelia (£24). With base notes of tonka bean and patchouli, heart notes of jasmine and liquorice and heady top notes of sweet rhubarb, almond and magnolia, this is a lovely light fragrance which mum will love.
