Mother’s day is fast approaching, and with that in mind we know that you’re likely on the hunt for that perfect gift. Thankfully, here at VIP we have you covered with all kinds of options if you want to spoil your Mum with something special this year, and almost all of our picks are from fantastic Irish businesses.
If you’re looking to gift your Mam an experience this year rather than buying a physical present, then we also have you covered with a selection of things to do to make her feel truly special this Mother’s Day. Click here for more.
Dyson Corrale Hair Straightener; €449.99
If you really feel like gifting your Mum something extra special this year, the latest innovation from Dyson Hair is a great place to start. The Corrale Hair Straightener is unlike anything else on the market right now as it’s engineered to preserve hair from extreme heat damage.
Even through these lower temperatures, the Corrale with it’s copper alloy plates, is able to create incredible styles from smooth and sleek to curls and waves.
We love that it can be used cordless, so is ideal for Mums on the go or someone who likes to top up their style throughout the day, and it also comes in five colourways so you can choose the one that suits her best!
To gift a little TLC this Mother’s Day then we love this gift set from Ground Wellbeing, and to be honest any of their beautiful sets would make for an excellent gift. Their Grá Mná set is all about celebrating the nourishing and giving quality of women with 10% of all online sales going directly to Women’s Aid Ireland.
This set includes their Peat Face Mask which is 100% natural and organic, containing the rejuvenating properties of peat leaving skin feeling energised after use. It also includes their Grounding Essential Oil which surrounds you with the balancing and grounding scent of Frankincense, Geranium Bourbon and Sweet Orange.
The Oversized Roll Neck in Neon Pink €115.00
For something cosy, yet chic she can snuggle up in we can’t think of anything better than one of Lucy Nagle’s beautiful jumpers. Her latest collection, in collaboration with Irish influencer, Pippa O’Connor features a gorgeous selection 100% merino wool pieces that are perfect for lounging in.
The collection features everything from loungewear, to hoodies and super-soft cardigans but we particularly love the roll necks which would look just as good tucked into jeans as they would for relaxing at home. These come in four colours mink, classic navy, neon pink as well as an eye-catching turquoise.
Sometimes it’s not about spending a fortune on the perfect gift, but a thoughtful card can make for the best present to receive on Mother’s Day. Rather than grabbing a last minute card on Sunday morning, we love the unique and quirky cards available on Moonpig which has just launched here in Ireland.
They have hundreds of cards to choose from designed by Irish artists like Conor Merriman, Jacky Sheridan, Floillustrate and Twisted Doodles that truly captures Irish humour.
The full range of cards and gifts can be viewed on the Irish Moonpig website priced from €3.29 – €5.99.
Clover Cropped Aran Cardigan Pale Pink; €109.95
Although we’re already embracing sunnier days and slightly warmer weather, we’ll still be hanging on to our beloved knitwear for a little bit longer, and we’re sure your Mam will be too. To add an injection of Spring into her wardrobe, the new Blossoms Collection from IrelandsEye promises to do exactly that!
The collection is a modern twist on heritage pieces we already know and love, think cropped Aran jumpers or an Aran cardigan with balloon sleeves that would pair perfectly over your favourite midi-dress.
In particular, we’re loving the colours as they are perfect for leaving winter behind, the collection features sunflower yellow, an emerald green, a beautiful pale pink as well as a light sage, not forgetting classics like navy and a neutral mink colour.
All of the pieces are made in North Dublin, and are finished and pressed by hand. The collection is made from 100% merino wool and prices range from €79.95-€109.95.
Perhaps you want to spoil your Mam with a day out instead? We love the idea of gifting an experience and spending the day together, and we can’t think of a better activity than a trip to see a show.
Now that live entertainment is back, there are countless to choose from but we will be booking our tickets in advance as after two years spent at home, we think everything will be booked up pretty fast this year! This October the multi-award winning My Fair Lady will be making it’s Irish premiere a the Bord Gáis Energy Theatre and is a perfect mother/daughter show to enjoy.
The show will run from the 6th-30th October with tickets starting at €21.00.
