Here's our 20 best Mother’s Day present

1. 100% Shea Butter 

   $12.95

   Moms have an amazing talent of knowing when to be firm, and when to be soft; let’s call it a matriarchal instinct. Unfortunately, human skin isn’t as forgiving as moms, and sometimes it needs a little bit of help to soften up. This shea butter by Pré de Provence is the perfect candidate. It’s super-moisturising and comes in a handy travel tube. A must-have for the moms of the world.

   
   
   
2. True Vanilla Eau de Parfum
   
   

   $57.00

   Elegant, smooth and damn right decadent. No, we’re not talking about your mom, these qualities belong to the True Vanilla Eau de Parfum by Library of Flowers. Cute packaging AND an amazing smell - Mom will be happy if this turns up on Mother’s Day.

   
   
   
3. You Wanna Piece Oven Mitt
   
   

   $17.95

   Your mom is pretty special you know, she deserves the best of the best - yes, this even applies to kitchen accessories. Your mom can’t be preparing her special dishes in any old oven mitt, get one worthy of her greatness (We recommend this one).

5. Kitty Wine Stopper
   
   

   $12.95

   Wine and moms, name a more iconic duo? Okay, so not all moms drink wine, but for those that do, you’re about to become the favourite child. You’re basically gifting her a reason to cork open another bottle, not that she needed one in the first place.

   
   
   
6. Hill Dale Tote Bag
   
   

   $19.95

   Tote bags are pretty useful for everyone, but gift one to a mom, and you’ll see it used in ways you didn’t know existed (probably because your mom always carries your stuff). We recommend one with a cute pattern, to make all the other moms jealous of course.
