Don’t forget it’s Mother’s Day on May 14th – here are a few of our favourite gift ideas, from fitness tracking gadgets to skincare, for all you lovely mums.
Feeling Sheepish?
American brand Pure Lano uses medical-grade lanolin in its skincare products to create an intensely nourishing line of all-natural products that penetrate deep into the epidermis – ideal if mum suffers from dry skin. Its Luxury Full Body Treatment set ($950) is made up of a body wash, exfoliator and ultra-moisturising body creme to care for and protect even the scaliest shins.
