It rolls around every year - Mother’s Day. The day you treat the person in your life you call mum. So, we’ve rounded up some thoughtful gifts to spoil that extraordinary mentor that is there for you anytime by Louise Hilsz.
Tronque Iconic Dry Body Brush, $70.
We are fans of the New Zealand body care brand Tronque, and this new dry brush is brilliant. Beyond your typical dry brush, their Ionic Body Brush is made from extra fine ion-charged copper bristles, naturally forming negative ions from natural friction. The brand says the copper bristles stimulate the lymph nodes' ability to detoxify the blood. Also known as an 'energy brush', Ionic Body Brush creates negative ions as you brush, re-grounding your natural energy state. The benefits of dry brushing go beyond brighter, smoother skin; it can also reduce cellulite, is the bomb for lymphatic drainage and is an excellent practice in self-care.

Indulge in these fashion-forward slides that, let’s face it, double as stylish slippers. It’s the season to keep your toes warm and well-dressed in the latest slides from local shoe star KW; this is a great example of style and comfort all-in-one.
Saben Coco Mini bag, $359.
Saben’s latest collection Maraschino was inspired by rooftop bars in summer to those famous dimly lit gin palaces where you can lose a few hours in the company of a handsome man. For anyone wanting to cap off their night in style - or spoil the mum in their life - here is the bag of the month.
