Mother’s Day is just a week away and if you’re like me, one week is when I do my gift shopping! The wonderfully organized people out there might think it’s a little late though =x Anyhow, here are some awesome smelling gifts that are perfect for some mummy pampering.
Jeanne en Provence has released a range of Body & Fragrance essentials; such easy choices for Mum as they will be well loved. Their philosophy is to provide quality products, made in France at attractive prices and they specialise in luxury perfumes, body care and home fragrances. Their products are also paraben-free and they don’t test on animals. The super affordable prices don’t hurt either!
L to R: Beurre de Karité & Miel Body Cream (250ml, $11.95) // Enriched with shea butter, sweet almond oil and aloe vera, this body cream is a great moisturizer especially in the colder weather. Delicately perfumed with Provence Honey – I love that the scent is light and beautiful and not too strong at all. Paraben-free.
Douceur de Fleur d’ Oranger Shower Gel (250ml, $8.95) // Cleanses without drying and leaves a beautiful perfume of orange blossoms {known for its soothing and relaxing properties}. Also contains natural essential oils of lemon and bitter orange. This shower gel is vegetable-based, paraben-free and enriched with glycerine. All round goodness.
Lavande Lavender Soap (100g, $4.95) // Contains natural essential oil of lavender. This soap is one of my favourite soaps ever {I don’t usually use soaps, not a big fan; more of a shower gel girl} because it’s so moisturizing and the scent is just beautiful.
Le Temps des Secrets Eau de Parfum (60ml, $16.95) // Beautifully packaged in a luxurious striped glass bottle, this perfume features blackberry, mandarin orange, bergamot and bitter almond. All their fragrances are created with a Master perfumer from Grasse, also known as the Perfume Capital of the World.
Also, thought I’d mention that the Shower Gel and Body Cream are in beautiful striped plastic bottles {perfect and safer for slippery showers/baths} while the Eau de Parfum is in a glass bottle.

One thing I know – when the kids are in bed and my husband is watching tv, I like to slip off in the quiet to enjoy a little bath. I love having baths and have tried my fair share of bubble baths etc yet this Sanctuary Spa Luxury Bath Float (500ml, $19.95) really impressed me.
It is super-rich, creates a lot a lot of bubbles with just a small amount of product {which also means it will last me a long time} and is filled with a lot of goodness such as Moisturising Baobab Extract, Freesia {for hydrating}, Vitamin E {antioxidant protection} and the Sanctuary Spa fragrance of Bergamot, Orange, Lemon & Grapefruit.
After a luxurious bath, follow up with the equally awesome Sanctuary Spa Body Butter (300ml, $14.95). Cocoa and Shea Butter + Sweet Almond Oil + Macadamia Oil are used to nourish, smoothen, soften and hydrate the skin. Like a full on intensive treatment!!
This Body Butter is an award winning top selling body moisturiser and also contains Vitamin E and the Sanctuary Spa fragrance of Bergamot, Orange, Lemon & Grapefruit. I love that it absorbs super fast and does not feel greasy at all despite being very hydrating.
These products are so affordable and of such excellent quality; I personally think they really make ideal gifts to encourage busy mums to take a little time off for some simple yet so effective pampering!
