Mother's Day Gift Guide for Every Type of Mum
Mother’s Day, but considered. Not the last-minute candle. Not the generic “for mum” shelf. This is a curated edit built around how she actually lives, what she reaches for, what sits on her bathroom counter and stays there. Welcome to The Mother’s Day Edit!
The Skincare Mum
She understands her skin. Routine is ritual. TBTM recommends the Airyday Glow Plus Night Skincare Duo and the Caudalie Beauty Elixir. Hydration that sits well under everything. SPF that doesn’t interrupt the routine. A mist that becomes part of the day without thinking about it. Skin that looks like it’s been paid attention to.
The Boujee Mum
Luxury is the baseline for this mum, with the Dr Dennis Gross DRx SpectraLite FaceWare Pro and the 111SKIN All Over Radiance Set. LED light therapy at home. Clinical-level formulas. Packaging that feels deliberate. Skin that carries that quiet, expensive glow.
The Glam Mum
Makeup is part of how she moves through the world. Westman Atelier The Getaway Edition and the Natasha Denona Mini Nude Eyeshadow Palette for cream formulas that melt into skin.
The Wellness Mum
For this mum, her beauty routine doesn’t start in the bathroom. Flamingo Estate Fridays From The Garden Cookbook, and The Gut Co Protein Collagen WPI Prebiotic Probiotic Blend Vanilla. To her, ingredients matter. Habits build over time. Skin reflects what’s happening underneath it all. The routine extends beyond products into daily life.
The Working Mum
Time is tight. Everything needs to earn its place. This is for the mum that does from desk to dinner. The Chanel Les Beiges Healthy Glow Sun-Kissed Powder and the Tomorrow Today Beauty Holiday Heros Trio Set, is a quick reset for her between meetings. A compact that brings the face back to life. Skincare that runs quietly in the background while everything else moves.
The Homebody Mum
Her space is part of the ritual, similar to the wellness mum, a little bit more product focused. L'Occitane Almond Touch of Glow Duo paired with the Kit Unwind Body Balm for textures that feel comforting. Scents that settle into the room. Body care that slows everything down for a moment.
The Future Mum
A category that is just as important as your mum, or your motherly figure. The future mum, may it be a friend, sister, or loved one. The Evereden Golden Body Serum, paired with the Pure Mama Magnesium Body Rub. Formulas designed with sensitivity in mind. Products that support the body through change. A different kind of beauty rhythm, quieter and more considered, more for her.
There isn’t one version of “mum.” This edit moves with that. Each one reflects a different pace, a different priority, a different way of showing up every day.
The best gift lands when it feels specific.

Your Skin Has a Night Shift. Augustinus Bader Has Built a Cream Around It
Augustinus Bader’s latest launch, The Overnight Restorative Cream, is built around a simple premise: nighttime skincare should work with the skin’s natural biology, rather than simply giving us a richer moisturiser before bed. We spoke to Augustinus Bader’s Global Education Director Christiane Werron about the new launch.
Your Toothpaste Is Having a Skincare Moment
Vitamin C has been one of skincare’s most recognisable ingredients. We’ve watched it migrate from clinical treatments into serums, moisturisers, masks and even makeup. Now, it has arrived somewhere slightly less glamorous: the toothpaste aisle.
Sundae founder Lizzie Binks on Making Body Care Fun Again
There is a reason Sundae is difficult to miss. The colourful cans. The whipped textures. The playful favours. The fun approach to a category that has historically been much more interested in function than fantasy.
