Katie Jane Home Picnic Ware
For the mom who loves the outdoors, here are a couple of products from Katie Jane Home that would make practical and useful gifts. The Coast Cool Bag Shoulder Bag is a 15 litre insulated shoulder tote that is ideal for keeping your food and drinks fresh and cool at outdoor concerts, the beach or on a picnic. Made from durable materials, the stylish bag is complemented by an Insulated Twin Bottle Cooler, also from Coast. The insulated twin bottle cooler has space to carry 2 bottles separated by a built in padded flap. Both of these products would make a great present for someone who loves the outdoors.

Naturaline Swiss Cosmetics
Next up I have a brand from Switzerland - Naturaline Swiss Cosmetics. Their product range which includes nine highly effective natural skin care products for the face and body, combine the latest scientific techniques and carefully selected natural ingredients. All their products are vegan, not tested on animals and bear the ECOCERT® Natural Cosmetics Quality Label.
The range includes an Alpine Rose Day Cream (£13.49, 50ml), Edelweiss Day Cream (£13.49, 50ml), Cucumber | Guava Facial Wash (£8.99, 150ml), Aloe Vera | Eyebright Eye Make-Up Remover (£8.99, 100ml), Pomegranate Liposome Eye Cream (£8.99, 20ml), Macadamia Nut & Pomegranate Lip Balm (£5.99,10ml), Basil | Lemongrass Shower Gel (£6.99, 200ml), Peppermint | Bamboo Body Lotion (£8.99, 180ml) and a Mallow Flower Lady’s Mantle Intimate Wash Lotion (£8.99, 200ml).
I have used the Cucumber Guava Facial Wash and it is gentle enough for daily use and cleanses well. The Macadamia Nut & Pomegranate Lip Balm is excellent. It contains Almond and Macadamia nut oils and soothes & hydrates the lips well. The Pomegranate Liposome Eye Cream has been developed specifically for the sensitive skin around the delicate eye area. With a potent anti-oxidant pomegranate formula it helps in reviving and hydrating the eye area giving it a rested and hydrated look. All the three products have been lovely to use. The eye cream has become a favourite of mine.

You can use the occasion of Mother's Day to show your mum how much you appreciate and love her. And a lovely way to do that is by sending her some wonderful flowers.

Along with the flowers is included a box of handmade British truffles and a cute & cuddly teddy bear! Check out more photos of the bouquet here.
Sleek Makeup
Continuing with beauty gifts, I have picked some cool makeup products from Sleek Makeup. First up is a blusher - Blush by 3 - Californ.I.A - which includes three complementary shades, each designed with its own distinctive finish, from rich shimmers to intense matte shades. A very lovely palette where each shade can be used on its own or layered for a unique look.
Next are the I-Divine eyeshadow palettes. There are two featured in this post.
Au Naturel : a mix of matte and shimmery eye shadows providing a subtle yet contoured effect for day, that can be built up for a gorgeous evening smoky effect using the velvety browns and shimmering fawns.
Storm : which includes shimmery neutral pinks and beiges perfect for day looks and gorgeous shades of dark blue, green and copper for elegant evening looks.
Both the palettes are awesome - very nice shades, good quality, reasonably priced and high pigmented colours. You can check out the entire range at www.sleekmakeup.com

Hand Rehab Hand & Nail Therapy with SPF 20
One more wonderful product in the gift guide is the Hand & Nail Therapy cream from The Hero Project. According to the makers, the diamond dust enriched hand and nail therapy cream is a rich and nourishing cream that hydrates and strengthens hands and nails. And having used it (and within a short span of time), I can tell you that this is a lovely hand cream. It is easily absorbed, is non-greasy, smells wonderful and leaves the hands soft and smooth. Add to it the fact that it has a SPF 20 broad spectrum sunscreen in it too making it a very good buy.You can buy it from www.theheroproject.co.uk
