Nine Mother’s Day Gift Ideas: Dianna’s Wishlist For 2018
One of the coolest things about Mother’s Day is curating my wish list for my blog. Each year I like to scour my Instagram feed, check out all my favourite accounts and dream big about purchases I might receive on the second Sunday in May.
Of course some of these gift ideas are wishful thinking for me, but I love admiring them from afar anyways. Enjoy my pick of the top Mother’s Day gifts for 2018 – for yourself, your mum or just someone special.
Happy Mother’s Day on 13 May!
Cheers
Dianna
Mother’s Day Gift Idea #1: Diane Von Furstenburg Midi Dress
I saw Jane Harber wearing this on Channel Ten’s new program Show Me The Movie and I was obsessed! Didn’t take me long to track it down. I love a bold pop of colour and a jersey dress is so flattering.

Mother’s Day Gift Idea #2: Adidas Trainers
I’ve been on a get fit program lately, these beauties will no doubt motivate me to get off the couch – or are they too pristine to spoil by going to Parkrun? Hmm…

Mother’s Day Gift Idea #3: Burberry Trench Coat
Okay, so it’s rather pricey, but it’s divine… I’d wear it for decades. If you look at it on a cents per wear basis, it’s actually a bargain.

Mother’s Day Gift Idea #4: Hard To Find Decanter
Isn’t this sweet? Perfect for sharing a lovely rosé with the mums while the cherubs play quietly in the backyard. A girl can dream, right? Hard to Find is a treasure trove of unique gifts. They even stock Miss Links!

Mother’s Day Gift Idea #5: Elinor Oliphant is Completely Fine
I’ve seen this book the best seller lists for a while and several friends have recommended it. I’m told it’s similar to The Rosie Project, because it has a socially awkward yet adorable (and in this case, female) protagonist. Reese Witherspoon has acquired the rights to a screen adaptation and that makes it a winner for me. I hope the book meets my high expectations.

Mother’s Day Gift Idea #6: Slip Pillowcase
So, silk is the thing for your pillowcase. Apparently a cotton pillowcase is a no-go for delicate skin and hair. Silk on the other hand, promises smooth skin, friz- free hair and anti-aging benefits because it allows your expensive skincare to stay where it belongs – on your face. Makes the blow dry last a few extra days as well, friends tell me.

Mother’s Day Gift Idea #7: Eye Palette
You can never have enough colour palettes. This one from Too Faced has a good range of chocolate and pinky tones with a few stronger shades for when I’m feeling adventurous. (I usually wipe it all off and go back to my safe old smoky eye, but I like to have the option!)

Mother’s Day Gift Idea #8: Activated Charcoal Blemish Soap
It’s great to support smaller independent skincare companies. Romeo and Madden is an Australian manufacturer of anti-aging and skincare products, using all natural ingredients and fragrant essential oils. This cleanser has activated charcoal to get rid of all the gunk.

Mother’s Day Gift Idea #9: Rebecca Vallance Dress
Oh, how I love this dress. It’s come to symbolise something special for me on my health and fitness journey. When I achieve my wellness goals, I want to hit the town rocking this dress! I’m well on my way, hopefully I get there soon…
