Mother’s Day gift guide 2017

To celebrate Mother’s Day, Luminar presents its gift guide – a curated selection of our favourite products for all the strong and powerful women out there.

That’s right, we believe mothers’ come in all guises so every woman should be lauded on the second Sunday in May. As we’ve mentioned before:  autumn, winter, spring and summer bring more than just a change in weather, they provide the perfect opportunity for savvy businesses to capitalise on seasonal selling.

Each year, marketing professionals leverage the key holidays, events and activities of each season. Think about it, now Easter’s done and dusted, the Lindt bunnies for the little ones have been replaced by Ferrero Rochers for mum.

Sunday 14 May is fast approaching, so keep reading for some Mother’s Day inspo.

1. Agento Skincare ✔

Agento is a luxurious Australian skincare company that produces all-natural face scrub with just four ingredients: Pumice, white Australian clay, sea salt and activated carbon. Using this product transforms face washing from ‘meh’ to meditative. It’s easy to use, easy on the environment and doesn’t have microbeads, fragrances, colourants, harsh solvents or detergents. Oh, and there’s no animal testing here, so add cruelty-free to the already long list of Agento’s benefits. Buy here.

2. Balanced Essentials Oils ✔

There’s nothing quite as calming as getting a whiff of an essential oil. It immediately creates a relaxed state of mind. Cheryl Gilbert, the founder of Balanced Essentials, has loved fragrance since childhood, where she would spend her days mixing her aunt’s expensive French perfumes. Fast forward and Cheryl’s now developed a range of aromatherapy products, from skin health and crystal products, to massage and pure oils for pain. We recommend the Be Relieved range which contains analgesic, anti-inflammatory and anti-spasmodic properties that are ideal to use for arthritis, joint inflammation, muscular aches and pains, headaches and so much more. These indulgent products also calm, uplift and focus awareness. Buy here.

We introduce you to Alex Sabba haircare products made from organic, chemical-free, Australian-made botanical oils. Alex Sabba Smoothing Serum –  our top pick for mum – is a mix of argan oil, avocado oil and cape rose geranium oil. Using this product has been described as “walking through a flower garden.” We confidently think mums of all interests will love what this product delivers: immediate shine and manageability, with no residue. Sounds good to us.

4. Ovvio Organics Tea ✔

You drink water, fruit juices and soft drink – but you experience tea. We like to think of it as a ‘tealosophy’. If your mum’s partial to a cuppa, you can’t go past Ovvio Organics. Ovvio’s teas are lovingly made through the expertise, excitement and experience of naturopath and herbalist, Anthia Koullouros. Each cup uses the finest flowers, fruits, seeds and leaves. So, indulge your mother figure this May and make her every sip be pure happiness. Buy here.

5. Leaf Café and Co. Coffee ✔

Is mum more into her caffeine brew than her English Breakfast? Then Leaf Café and Co. should be top of your list this Mother’s Day. Leaf Café and Co. work with passion to collect, study, roast and serve their coffee to delighted customers. The company’s own selection of beans are roasted and ground to perfection – every single day in its Sydney roastery. They take great pride in their partnerships with the farmers around the world who make it possible for them to deliver such great coffee to the people, including mum. Buy here.

6. Mr Goaty Gelato

Mr Goaty Gelato will really impress the foodie mums. This product may be on-trend (delicious and creamy gelato made from goat’s milk in the fashionable the flavours of: Cacao & Coconut, Honeycomb & Lavender, Banana & Cinnamon Caramel and Cold Brew Coffee), but it’s also a simple, wholesome, locally made treat. The packaging isn’t bad either. Goat’s milk is low in lactose and some women find that it eases bloating. A tub of this is a welcome addition to anyone’s well earned night on the couch. Buy here.

Once you go goat you won’t go back
