Let's face it, shopping for mums who seem to have most things they want and need is a bit of a challenge. Each year we tend to opt for the same things like flowers, lunch or dinner, a bottle of her favourite tipple, she smiles, says 'thank you' and we continue about our day. So why not change things up a little this year?
Perfume is another popular option that gets thrown onto the Mother's Day gift list by many; and mums love it, they smell good and they get to enjoy it for quite some time before needing a top up. This year, why not consider upping your mum's fragrance game?
Agreed, a luxury perfume is slightly more expensive than your average scent by your favourite celebrity; and then there are those long-standing fragrances our grannies wore which have stood the test of time and are still going strong. But what could be more delightful, and intriguing than a brand new gorgeous scent that's been designed to transform and enhance our mood and set us up for an amazing day?
If you're not too sure what's classed as a luxury perfume or how much one will cost, don't panic because we've rounded-up some of the best luxury, but not too overpriced fragrance options that you can get hold of ahead of and in good time for Mother's Day.
