Questions you can ask yourself before searching for a gift

First things first: if you really have no idea where to start looking, there are some questions you can ask yourself before searching for a gift. These questions can give you ideas and inspiration: 

• What does your mother often or recently need? 
• When was the last time your mother was really happy with a new beauty product?
• What is useful for your mother at this moment? 
• What makes my mother happy? 
• What beauty problem does your mother sometimes face? 
• What would my mother like but never buy for herself? 
• What is my mother busy with a lot right now? 
• Is there something she really needs?

Make the gift personal 

Before we talk about which beauty products and gift sets are nice to give on Mother’s Day, here’s a general tip. On Mother’s Day, we want to put the special women in our lives in the spotlight. To thank her for her motherly love, it’s of course nice to make the gift personal. This can be very simple with a card with a sweet message or breakfast in bed. Besides that, you naturally want to spoil your mother with something she can really use. That’s what we’re getting to now! 

Create your own ‘selfcare package’

With a selfcare package, you can never go wrong. Every woman loves beauty. And with a selfcare package, you can really send a message: “Mom, you deserve to relax for a bit and I appreciate your hard work, care, or love.” With the beauty tools from Ilu can you put together a bag with super nice skincare and selfcare tools. For example, a bag with a hairband, facial brush, face mask, facial roller, and a nice serum. 

Make-up as a gift

Make-up can be a nice gift for Mother’s Day because it is not only functional but also personal and creative. By giving make-up, you show that you appreciate your mother’s style and needs. And, which woman doesn’t get happy from make-up! It can be fun to discover new colors or techniques. With a make-up gift, you give the chance to experiment and discover new looks.

Make-up is also a practical gift because your mother probably uses make-up daily and therefore needs to replace it regularly. We have a wide range of make-up products in our assortment. How nice to surprise your mother (figure) with a beautiful lipstick or eyeshadow palette.
