GIFT GUIDE: Father's Day 2015

We all know when it comes to Fathers that they're not the easiest to buy for, in fact we always find them to be the hardest to buy for! We find that every time we ask if there is something they want or need the answer is always: 'there's no need to buy me anything' which doesn't help us at all. So with this years Father's day just around the corner on Sunday, we decided to share with you some ideas that we are loving for Father's Day this year.


Accessories are always a good option for Father's day: they'll always be found useful and you can even personalise some items so that the gift is made even more special.

MOTHERS DAY GIFT GUIDE

With Mothers Day approaching at the end of this week, we decided to accumulate some last-minute gift ideas perfect for any mother: ranging from gifts to suit green-fingered goddesses to beauty fanatics, we hope these few items will inspire you to get shopping and treat your mothers!


Nails Inc, The Nude Collection: £25

S strongly believes that her love affair with nail polishes has stemmed from her mother, between them both, they must own close to a hundred nail polishes. Mothers Day is always a good idea to gift S’ mother some new nail polishes, and with her all time favourite brand being Nails Inc. the selection above is perfect for spring.

Liz Earle, Cleanse & Polish Beauty Trio: £50

Since both of our mums introduced us to Liz Earle skincare and continue to treat us with Cleanse & Polish every now and again, we thought that Mothers Day would be the perfect opportunity to treat our mothers back with this limited edition gift set. Being a little pricey, this gift is definitely for a special occasion!

Emma Bridgewater, Pink Wallpaper Mustard Vase: £14.95

With both of us being huge Emma Bridgewater fans, we couldn’t not include something from her collection in this list! This cute mustard vase is the perfect accompaniment for a few spring blooms to treat your mum this Mothers Day.

Buddug, Enamel Plates: £75 - £225

Living in Wales (and with S speaking fluent Welsh) we wanted to include something a little more original and unique. These handmade enamel plates from Buddug are a perfect addition to any Welsh (or non-Welsh!) home.

NotOnTheHighStreet.com, Personalised Embossing Rolling Pin: £26

This rolling pin is a more personalised gift that any baking enthusiast would appreciate. Being able to design your own wording makes this gift the most thoughtful out of the gifts in this guide. Notonthehighstreet.com is generally a great inspirational source for gifts of any occasion!


John Lewis, Sophie Allport Green Fingers Seed Box: £11

For our final gift idea, we dedicate this cute Seed Box to all the green-fingered mothers out there, like K’s! Loving gardening and all things organised for the outdoors, this gift would be perfect! Why not add some of your mothers’ favourite flower seeds in the box too, so she can grow some gorgeous blooms and be reminded of you when they grow? 

Happy Mothers Day to both our amazing mothers, and we hope you readers spoil the lucky ladies in your life rotten!
