Mother’s Day is around the corner, and while we should be showing our appreciation for our moms every day, this is our annual reminder to do a little something extra. Our moms do so much for us, and now’s the time for us to do something special for them.
Whether it’s breakfast in bed, lunch with the family, an afternoon at the spa or a picnic outdoors, show your appreciation for Mom by planning a little spoil this Mother’s Day. And regardless of your plans on the day, a well-planned gift never goes amiss!
Here are our gift suggestions for moms of every kind.
For the mom that loves to be pampered
One can never have too many pamper products, right?! Every mom loves a hard-working, multitasking product, so why not treat her to just that? One of the hardest working beauty products you’ll ever own, is tissue oil. Soften dry lips or cuticles, add a few drops to your bathwater, use as a hair treatment, or apply all over your body for intense nourishment and hydration.
Bramley’s highly enriched Tissue Oils are the solution to all your modern day skincare problems and needs. With added Bio-Pharm oil and vitamin E, lightly fragranced and suitable for everyday use on all skin types, these Tissue Oils provide fantastic results when applied daily to stretch marks, scar tissue, dark spots and very dry skin. Designed to improve skin health and texture, they are loved and trusted by many women around the world.
This Mother’s Day, we recommend Bramley’s newly-launched larger Lavender Tissue Oil (R39.99). Now available in a larger 250ml bottle, this consumer favourite is not just effective at treating your skin’s needs, but it’s also ultra-affordable.

Chances are Mom loves her chocolate, and if she’s into CBD oil, good quality CBD chocolate makes a great gift.

More and more beauty and personal care brands are taking steps to lower their carbon footprint and to be kinder to the environment. If your Mom cares about sustainability, opt for personal care products manufactured locally, using natural ingredients, that are ethical and sustainable. Look out for the cruelty-free stamp to ensure the products haven’t been tested on animals!
