Hollyscoop's Mother's Day Gift Guide
Mother’s Day is right around the corner and if you still haven’t had a chance to buy Mom a gift, have no fear—we’re here to help!
This year instead of sending the same tired Edible Arrangements fruit basket, how about a statement necklace instead? Does Mom love makeup? Lorac’s new collection is to die for! How about some shades that’ll make Mom look as cool as she feels? We got you covered.
Here’s Hollyscoop’s list of favorite Mother’s Day Guide Ideas:
Statement Necklaces:
These gorgeous statement necklaces from www.HSN.com are perfect for the glamorous Mom. My personal favorites are the “Tribal Chic” simulated Lapis necklace, available for $89.95 and the “Loulou de la Falaise” Bold Jeweltone 18" Drop Necklace available for $79.95. These will work great with Mom’s favorite little black dress. And they look so expensive, you’ll get extra brownie points with Mom without breaking the bank.
Solstice Sunglasses:
Everyone needs a great pair of sunglasses in their life—and Mom is no exception. If your Mom is a trendsetter, get her these adorable hot pink Dior Mohotani sunglasses. These shades are flying off the shelf, so while her friends are on a waiting list, your fashion forward Mom will already be rocking them. These cat eye sunglasses compliment a larger oval face shape and can also work well on a rounder face as the exaggerated silhouette appears to stretch the width of the eye area and provide a nice uplift in the cheekbone area. They’re available at www.SOLSTICEsunglasses.com for $295. Is Mom the aviator chic kind of gal? These golden Carrera Turbo are flattering on just about every face shape and available for just $160. And of course you can never go wrong with Alexander McQueen. These nude Retro-square- wayfarer styles work well on oval, round, square and slightly angular face shapes. McQueen’s are available for $345.
Lorac Makeup:
Every woman loves makeup. And Lorac makes such high quality makeup, Mom will think of how thoughtful you are every time she puts on her lipgloss. This Hot Off The Red Carpet Collection sizzling five-piece collection of beauty must-haves includes two exclusive color-coordinated, mineral-infused, shimmering baked eye shadow duos, an exclusive TANtalizer Baked Bronzer, a full-size Multiplex 3D Lip Gloss in 3D (rose bronze glitter), and a gold bag that can double as a blingy evening clutch. Available at Sephora.com for $36.
ECOYA Candles:
ECOYA is a recently launched Australian eco-luxe beauty and home fragrance line that has taken the US by storm. Their products are made from sustainable soy and natural plant waxes, and come in slick biodegradable packaging. Famous mommy fans of ECOYA include Kourtney Kardashian, Lisa Rinna, and Marlee Matlin. Other fans of the brand include Kate Bosworth, Kim Kardashian, and Stacey Keibler. The LOVE candle is available at Bloomingdale’s and at www.candledelirium.com
Toms Shoes:
Gift giving with a cause! Every time you buy a pair of Toms Shoes, they give a pair to a child in need. And this season they’re mixing thing up with wedges and glittered flats that can go from daytime cool to nighttime chic. Their fabulous (and super comfortable) shoes start at $40+ and are available at www.toms.com.
