Let's start my gift guide with some glorious silk pyjamas from local brand Willa & Mae, guaranteed to put a smile on everyone's face - even if you're making your own pancakes in them.
In beauty, we have a new lipstick from M.A.C called Diva-ish, a beautiful set of miniature hand creams from Linden Leaves and a divine new fragrance from Bulgari, Aqva Divina.
In jewellery, I have covered all bases with the on-trend slim choker from Cathy Pope, a simple statement bangle from Pascoes and the divine Miranda earrings from Shahana Pearls.
A little technology never hurt anyone - starting with the amazing Orbitsound Spaced360 wireless speaker (fingers crossed the husband is reading this!) with its neon pop of colour cases. Then the limited edition ghd V opal styler and finishing with the latest development from L'Oreal Paris - its 3D imagery makeup simulator app . . . and that's free.
For the home, I have a wonderful George & Co trophy vase and a beautiful print from the super talented Margaret Petchell, both from The Market NZ., plus a cute-as cup and saucer set from the Mighty Ape.
In The Line Up this week are some fashionable accessories - a gorgeous scarf from Bird & Knoll, a stunning clutch from Workshop's collection of Alexander Wang and a classic boot from Andrea Moore's new footwear collection.
Regardless of how you decide to celebrate your Mum, make sure you put aside some time to spend with her or to think of her this year - her time with you was precious and that should always be cherished.
