As Mother’s Day approaches, many will be thinking about how to treat their mums with gifts to unwrap.
With less than two weeks to go, there’s not much time left to shop, but luckily there are some handy gift options that take the stress out of choosing the perfect present.
John Lewis has just launched a beauty box filled with perfume, skincare and make-up, including plenty of variety and the chance to try different brands.
Those looking to spend below £50 can stick to their budgets, as the box costs £45, and the products inside ae worth £130.
Buy: John Lewis The Mother’s Day Beauty Edit (£45)
For beauty-loving mums, it’s the equivalent of a hamper, with an assortment of 11 products, just without the effort of having to fill it yourself.
Full contents include:
⦁ Floral Street Wonderland Peony Eau de Parfum, Full Size, 10ml
⦁ Issey Miyake L’Eau de Issey Pivoine Eau de Toilette Intense, 10ml
⦁ Carolina Herrera Fabulous Kiss Lipstick Sheer, 171 Rosy Date, 1g
⦁ Yves Saint Laurent Lash Clash Mascara, 01 Black, 2ml
⦁ Laura Mercier Caviar Stick Eye Colour, Rosegold Intense Pigment
⦁ Spectrum B06 Tall Tapered Blender Brush
⦁ Shiseido Vital Perfection Concentrated Supreme Cream, 15ml
⦁ Sunday Riley Auto Correct Brightening and Depuffing Eye Contour Cream, 8ml
⦁ Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Cleanser, 30ml
⦁ Lancôme Advanced Génifique Youth Activating Concentrate, 7ml
⦁ Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour® Cream Intensive Moisturising Hand Treatment, Full Size, 30ml
The highest value item in the box is the Floral Street Wonderland Peony Eau de Parfum, which is worth £28 alone and is perfect for popping a handbag for on-the-go.
Another highlight is the full-size Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour® Cream Intensive Moisturising Hand Treatment which helps to rejuvenate and moisturise dry and chapped hands.
It is worth keeping in mind that although the box offers variety and high value, much of this is due to the premium brands included and not the size of the products.
Some of the products are in small sizes and are handy for trying new brands but may only contain enough product for a few uses.
Those looking for bigger products that will last longer may want to opt for the M&S Mother’s Day Box 2024 instead, which is cheaper at £30 and includes a full-sized Alpha-H skincare product worth £43 alone.
