HELLO SPRING





Can someone please slow down time.  I'm not ready for it to be March, I'm not ready for my baby to be 18 months old.  Toddling off to nursery in her first Welsh costume for St David's Day today.  I couldn't have been more proud.  She is turning into an amazing little human.  Full of character, full of laughter.  As much as I want her to stay my little baby forever, I am excited to watch her grow, see the person she becomes.  But here we are, March is upon us, lambs are frolicking in the fields and it's the start of gift season. 





Mothers Day is only around the corner and deciding what to buy for the most amazing woman in you life is always difficult.  Of course we do all love something special and handmade by our children, these are things that we cherish forever, but what else do you get for that amazing woman?  The person who will nurture you, fight for you, who believes in you, who will always love you unconditionally.

No matter what our age, we always need our mums.  Whether it is to tell her good news or share a problem, they are always there knowing the right things to say.  As I get older I find it more and more difficult to find her the perfect gift.  She has a house full of homemade gifts from when my sister and I were young, they are still displayed proudly all around the house.  But I always want to get her something special, something original, something to say thank you. 

Now I have stumbled across Ila & Lane, my gifting prayers have been answered!  This luxury gifting company make it so easy.  No stress or hassle, you can simply choose a ready to send gift box or customise your own.  I cannot get enough of the website,  it's so beautiful and artistic and easy to use.  It oozes sophistication before I've even started shopping.  The ready made gift boxes are so thoughtful and unusual.  I am pretty sure there is one to match each and every one of my friends and family members personality.  I am so excited for birthdays and occasions this year.  Here are my top picks for Mothers Day.


For the Prosecco loving fashionista mums, the Prosecco and Beauty Box is the box to get!  A Prosecco lip balm and candle that are divine.  (I genuinely vouch for both products as I have them).  Beautifully packaged along with the top selling Kardashian Beauty Lioneyeze eye shadow and what  I love most, the fact that also included in the remarkable price of just £35 is the top selling style-bible, The Goddess Guide by Gisèle Scanlon. Gisele has picked out the best bits from her personal diary, address book and fashion contacts to reveal insider information, glamour secrets and a multitude of heavenly recommendations in this book.  It is full of dos and dont's, hints and tips, a fashionistas bible.  It's not just a little pamper gift set, it is thoughtful and well put together.  I hope my husband reads my blog as this box is perfect... for me!

Prosecco & Beauty Box


For those on a smaller budget the ageless gift box for just £20 is ideal.  Let her spoil herself with marshmallow hearts and breathe in the delicious scent of the white rose and sea salt candle.  Also included is an award winning konjac sponge with French pink clay. Gentle enough for even the most sensitive of skin, this is a treatment she can use every day.


Mothers Day Gift Box


A mum who loves something a little more alternative and quirky?  Included in this stunning gift box is a fortune telling book and porcelain phrenology mug, definitely conversation starters.  Additional treats include a white rose scented candle and charcoal and lavender soap.  A lovely treat for any age.  But also included in the price of £45 are a pair of luxury handmade Silver & Aqua Quartz Hoop Earrings.  These beautiful naturally formed crystals change colour in the daylight.  What a stunning gift she can keep forever.



Crystal Lover


But what if you think she would only like certain items from certain gift boxes or your budget is larger or smaller?  She's a keen crafter or Game of Thrones mega fan?   Simply complete the bespoke order request form.  Ila & lane will do the hard work.  Their mission is to source luxury, one of a kind, beautiful, personal gifts.  There's nothing better than when someone special opens a gift, smiles, looks at you and says those five words 'you know me so well'.

Happy Shopping!
