Mothers Day Gift Guide - Gifts Over $50

GIFT GUIDE FOR MOTHERS DAY -
GIFTS OVER $50 EDITION

For those that really want to spoil Mum. Come together with your siblings and join those pennies to buy something luxurious for Mum this Mother's Day.


Ecocotton Robe – RRP $159.50
With authentic Turkish origins, Ecocotton’s luxurious range of home textiles are designed to breathe comfort and conscientiousness into your home. All products are crafted from naturally- derived, raw materials including 100% Aegean cotton which is certified by Global Organic Textile Standards.







Gingerlilly Sleepwear – RRP various prices
Exuding casual style with a fusion of classic aesthetics and modern femininity, Gingerlilly is a perfect combination of fashionable, sophisticated sleepwear that every woman should own. Offering flattering and contemporary pieces that keep true to the purpose of what sleepwear should be.
The result is a glamorous selection of soft, sensual fabrics and unique designs offered within signature pieces to provide timeless sophistication.








Slip Pillowcases – RRP $69.95
Slip anti ageing, anti sleep crease, anti bed head pure silk pillowcase.
Slip silk allows your skin to glide, whereas cotton scratches and tugs on delicate facial skin, resulting in premature stretching and sleep-crease.
Cotton grabs your hair and twists it at the root throughout the night, damaging hair and causing bed-head in the morning, whereas slip silk is so gentle on your hair, it allows your hairstyle/blow-dry to last overnight. Unlike cotton, which draws moisture from your face, hair & scalp, slip silk breathes and is a natural temperature regulator.
Slip silk is a natural, hypoallergenic fibre, whereas synthetic satin is rougher, thinner and ‘sweats’, essentially negating the benefits.



Clairns Eau Dynamisante Treatment Fragrance – RRP $65 for 100ml
Created by Clarins, Eau Dynamisante is truly unique. It is the very first treatment fragrance to combine fragrance with skin care benefits. Uniting the fragrant and treatment actions of plant extracts to hydrate, soften and "energise" the entire body, it tones, revitalises and leaves the skin lightly scented, soft and moisturised.
In any season all year round, Eau Dynamisante is an irresistible wave of freshness and vitality.
Beauty benefits: Delicately fragrances and promotes a wonderful feeling of freshness, vitality and well-being, firms, tones and revitalises surface skin, moisturises and softens.
