Hello, beautiful soul! In just a few days, May 13 to be exact, it’s already Mother’s Day! Every mother is different and unique in their own ways, but they are known to love wholeheartedly. Their hug could cure any hell-kind of feeling, their smile is the spring, the wind that caresses, and their laugh could lighten any shadow of misery. Though it still remains a sorcery how they could cook, clean, and iron the clothes at the same time, and we may not be able to do so, our love is enough to mend their aching bodies at the end of the day.

We may forget to say that we love them everyday or we have come short to make them feel that we care. So, this Mother’s day, here are a few last minute gift ideas for the wonder-woman of our lives.

For the mom who…

 1. hates to touch up

Whatever the reason may be – laziness or busyness, this lipstick is perfect for those mothers who can’t be bothered. It’s budget friendly and there are a lot of shades to choose from. The formula is nice as well. Even if it dries matte, its formula is not drying. The lips stay hydrated at the end of the day.

Get this NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream from BeautyMNL or from any NYX counters nationwide for P390.00.

2. is always on the go

This weekender kit from Sephora is helpful for mothers who are always travelling. This kit has 5 containers for toiletries. What makes this kit lovable is because it’s clear. It’s easy to find what you need inside and it’s small enough so it won’t take much space on your mom’s travel bag.

Get this Sephora Collection Weekend Kit from Sephora for P469.00.

3. prioritizes her skin care more than her make up game

Wrinkles on the neck, a little bit of discoloration, pimple marks or dark under-eyes – these are all manifestations of their sacrifices for us. They don’t get any younger, and that just means that they need tender loving care as much as we do. This facial cream does wonder!

Get this Ra and Gowoori Real Kill Horse Oil Cream from Shoppee for P475.00.

4. loves surprises

There are mothers who love the thrill of seeing their names on cards, opening boxes and unwrapping gifts. What better way to give her a surprise than enrolling her in a subscription box? Check out this review I made about LiveGlam’s KissMe Subscription!

5. is far, far away 

No matter how far away, her love never comes short. That should be the same for us. You can already buy flowers and have it delivered to your mom! I’ve personally tried this and the flowers arrived on time and in good shape!

Go and see Flowers Express for prices.

6. loves to read

A good read is one that brings impact to the reader. It brings a unique feeling that permits the reader to give life to words. A good read is one that even when read again and again, does not lose its meaning. A letter written by you would be the best read that would surely pull all her heartstrings.

7. has a green thumb

It is now your time to share your mother’s nurturing powers to the nature. If your mother has a green thumb,where almost all of the plants she takes care of lives, a sweet surprise would be a succulent which demands low TLC. This is great for indoors too, so it could add up as a decoration.

8. is outgoing

If your mom loves the outdoors, why not give her a sunscreen to take care of her skin from sun’s harmful rays while she’s enjoying? This is actually a skin care step that’s almost always been neglected, yet it’s actually very important.

9. has a sweet tooth

These macarons are perfect to satisfy her guilty pleasures. Cheat day or not, these are so good, melts on your mouth, and definitely the answer to cravings. She’ll surely love this.

I bought these macarons from Macarons by Le Jardin Oublié ‘Baguio Macarons’ . Check them out! They offer a lot of choices for your sweet cravings.

10. is a fashionista

Scarves are perfect for mothers who like to be extra-extra because they could sustain heat when wrapped around the neck or body. This fashion statement could also be an added bag accessory.

11. is a food lover 

Make any food taste like love! Prepare one that she loves or has long been craving. I’m not professional when it comes to cooking. I was able to learn cooking and baking through watching online videos alone. So, I’m pretty sure you can do the same. If you want to learn some cupcake recipes, comment it down below! I know a few and I would love to share them.

12. is an athletic babe

An active lifestyle is a key to a youthful life. Fuel your mom’s urge to burn last weekend’s buffet happenings through giving her some workout clothes. These Under Armour tops are good in absorbing sweat. The material is cotton; stretchable as well to let movement be easy.

13. has a lot up her sleeves

Schedules here, meetings there, deadlines everywhere – if your mom lives like this, loves the stress and the challenge then a planner is the best present to give. This will help her organize her thoughts and plans to avoid missing out on anything; including you!

14. is a superstar

When your mom loves the center stage, the attention and wants to shine just like the sun, a pair of shades would make her feel like she already did. That’s for sure!

15. loves music!

Listen to music on the go, make a personalized playlist, listen to any type of genre, and relax with your daily mixes. These are just some features of Spotify. Allow your music lover mom to reminisce her memories with the best songs. Hear her sing, and dance to the beat for just P149.00 ever month for Spotify Premium.

Happy Mother’s Day to all mothers out there!

You are all beautiful.
