Bonjour lecteurs! Have you finished all your Christmas shopping? As always, I have done most of it by now, but I will still get some last-minute bits for my loved ones. So if you are looking for some inspiration or already wondering what to get mums next year, here are 5 Christmas Presents That Will Always Please Mums.
Long-Lasting Fragrances
A good perfume will never disappoint. It’s actually quite un classique at this time of the year. Indeed, many brands offer some beautiful fragrance gift sets that will certainly be un succés.
Go for iconic names or French staples. Personnellement, I have been wearing the same parfum for years and years. I like a light citrus scent in the Summer. But in the Winter, I like something a bit deeper and more adult.
Pas sûre of what will work? The Calvin Klein fragrance is always a good choice. Nowadays, you can even get some beautiful scents on the go. Par exemple, atomisers are très populaires as you can take them everywhere with you in your bag! How handy!
A Luxury Handbag
To add even more Frenchiness to your life, add to your Christmas list a luxury handbag. I am obsessed with the Sandro Kasbah Tote Bag. I have it in couleurs différentes as they make me feel très chic wherever I go.
En plus, it’s a spacious design where I can keep all my stuff. If this feels a bit too formal for your maman, what about a crossbody version?
Go for a classic and versatile shade such as black or navy. Or a suede bag is also une bonne option. I absolutely love mine.
For some extra luxury, you can go to Mayfair and get a bag from one of the famous boutiques there. I recently visited Victoria Beckham Shop and I fell in love with a burgundy leather bag that is stunning. I added it to my list; we never know…
A Wool Coat
Mums do so much all year round, so come Christmas, they need a treat! If you like fashion, it’s worth investing in a wool coat. Such a fashion piece made in this natural fibre will certainly feel luxurious.
Personnellement, je préfère a double-breasted coat as it looks so élegant and timeless.
Wool coats last longer because they have a natural ability to trap air, so they keep you warm. Plus, they are breathable and moisture-wicking, so they are super comfy.
When you buy outerwear, get a piece well cut in a shade that will go with anything in her wardrobe.
A Spa Day
Another way to treat your fav lady over Christmas? Why not book her a spa day in a beautiful hotel?
This is the best way to unwind. Nowadays, I am less about physical items and more about experiences.
Even better, book a day for 2 and join your mama at the spa. You can say non to a body massage or a facial. She will feel like a femme différente!
My friend treated me to a full body massage in a local place, and I came home so happy and relaxed. I added the same experience on my own Christmas list so that I can have a day away from the boys…
A Food Hamper
Not what you would have thought of? I tell you what, I am all about the good food!
Now, to make a real impression, go for something iconic like a luxury Harrods hamper or something similar.
I think I would love a wine hamper too, with all the best French vineyards to check out at the minute.
Impress their palate! According to modern psychology, a woman is truly happy when she is enjoying really good food. I could not agree more!
Or you can take her out for a beautiful Afternoon Tea? I have been to many over the years; some of my favs in London include the Rubens, the St Ermin’s or even a gourmand afternoon tea on the seaside at the Grand Hotel Eastbourne.
What did you get your mum for Christmas? Is there anything from my 5 Christmas Presents That Will Always Please Mums list? Let me know which one is sure to be un succés for you, or if you would like to make an addition to the list?
