World Duty Free Mother's Day Gift Ideas

If you’re lucky enough to be jet setting this week and have yet to get your mum anything for mother’s day then don’t worry because World Duty Free have got it covered.

They have a fantastic selection of gifts available, guaranteed to put a huge smile on any mums face. 

Whether your mum is really into skincare, loves her fragrances, is addicted to make up or is a real chocoholic, you’ll find something for her here.

Better still, many of the gifts and sets from World Duty Free are Travel Exclusives, meaning you can’t buy them on the high street, making them just that little bit more special. 

These are tree of my top picks from World Duty Free that I think would make fabulous gifts for your mum.

First up is this gorgeous Lancome Hypnose Star Eyes Palette (£43). 

This travel exclusive set contains everything your mum would need to create a gorgeous look and features a mascara, two concealers, 6 eyeshadows and a khol pencil all packaged beautifully within this compact kit.

You’ve got two creamy concealers to help conceal dark shadows around the eye area in shades Beige Clair 02 and Beige 03.

The six powder eye shadows are such gorgeous, warm, wearable shades in Beige Nu, Bleu Nuit, Tres Chocolat, Eclat de Bleuet, Gold and Kahki.

Brilliantly hidden and tucked away in the design of the palette you’ll also find the Lancome Hypnose Star Waterproof Mascara in Black and a mini black khol pencil.

In a nutshell, you’ve got everything you could need to create a beautiful look within one compact palette. Brilliant!

For the fragrance lover there’s this Burberry Mini Fragrance set (£44).

Packaged beautifully this set contains 5 different Burberry scents, allowing your mum to explore and delight in the different selection of scents available from Burberry and perhaps discover a new favourite.

Within the set you’ve got;

Burberry EDP, Brit Rhythm for her, Burberry Body, Burberry London and Brit Sheer for her.

I’m personally a big fan of mini fragrance sets as I love having the chance to discover a range of new scents without committing to buying a full size bottle, plus lets be honest, everything looks super cute in mini doesn’t it.

My personal fave from this set is the very cute, pink Brit Sheer for her which is a light, sophisticated and gorgeous scent.

Like the Lancome gift set this too is a WDF Travel Exclusive.

Finally, lets be honest you can never go wrong with chocolates and with chocolates and this box of Godiva Coeur Iconique Grand (£14) you’re definitely onto a winner.

Within this cute heart shaped box you’ll find 14 assorted chocolates in the following varieties;

Coer Noir- An Intense flavour chocolate ganache made from 70% Papua New Guinea in a dark chocolate heart.

Coeur Blanc and Coeur Lait- A harmonious balance of their signature hazelnut praline in a white and milk chocolate heart.

Who doesn’t love a posh choccie!?

All three of these gorgeous gifts are available now exclusively from World Duty Free so if you are travelling this week, make sure you pop in and have a look out for them along with all the other great gifts available for Mother’s Day.

Marc Jacobs Violet

Marc Jacobs Violet has to be without a doubt, one of the prettiest fragrances I have ever seen and I know they say never judge a book by its cover, or a fragrance by its bottle, but I mean, come on!

Just look at it!

This very special fragrance is a Limited Edition and is only available to buy from World Duty Free. 

Now I’m not saying that you should book a holiday just so you can buy this little lovely, but if you are a huge Dot or Honey fan, you might actually want to consider it!

Violet belongs to the same line as Dot and Honey, which you may have guessed from the gorgeous pearlescent, butterfly details on the bottle and lid.

The bottle itself is a shimmering, iridescent purple, which is really hard to photograph by the way but looks just so very, very pretty.

I have to say, I expected the fragrance to be far more floral and possess stronger notes of Violet, given that that’s its name, but I was actually glad that that wasn’t the case.

Top notes of Bergamot, Green Apple and Kumquat are refreshingly sweet while mid notes of White Lily, Jasmine, Magnolia and Violet add a delicate, addictive floral quality to the scent.

Dry notes of Vanilla Bean, Precious Woods and Skin Musks round off the fragrance perfectly creating a gorgeous fruity-floral scent.

It is a fragrance that would be best described as soft, warm, creamy and just the right amount of sweet vs floral.

If like me you are already a die-hard Marc Jacobs fan then you are going to want this fragrance. If you love pretty things and aren’t a fan of super flowery or super sacchariney scents then it’s also the one for you!

So, make sure you leave enough time when you’re jetting off on your holibobs to go and check out Marc Jacobs Violet from World Duty Free because you’ll regret it if you forget!

Beauty Gift Sets From World Duty Free!

If you’re lucky enough to be jetting off this December to somewhere fabulous (or even not so fabulous) you may want to allow yourself some extra time at the airport to take a look at some of the lovely Christmas Gift ideas available from World Duty Free.

 

Clearly knowing that I wasn’t going to be jetting off to anywhere fun, fab or even boring this month the guys at World Duty Free very kindly sent me some of their gorgeous goodies to take a look at and to show you!

First up is the gorgeous L’Occitane Travellers Hand Cream Collection. 

 Containing 4 different varieties of L’Occitanes award winning shea butter based hand cream, it is the perfect gift for pretty much anyone, including the menfolk. 

My Dad LOVES L’Occitane hand cream as in his words “it’s nice and not oily!”  You’re not wrong Dad!

The 4 varieties in the set are;

Shea Butter Hand Cream (dry skin)
Velvet Hand Cream Rose 4 Reines
Cooling Hand Cream Gel
Cherry Blossom Hand Cream 

Clarins is one of my fave brands and their Take Off Essentials set is perfect for so many things! 

Fab for freshening up and staying gorge on flights, it also makes a really lovely introductory gift set to anyone yet to try Clarins. 

  

The bag includes;

Beauty Flash Balm 15ml

Eye Contour gel 3ml

Hand & Nail Treatment Cream 50ml

HydraQuench Cream 30ml

One-Step Facial Cleanser 100ml

 Moisture Rich Body Lotion 30ml

It’s a great all rounder of a set and you may already know how much love I have for their Beauty Flash balm which you can read all about HERE.

This pretty set is the OPI Passport to Color.

Containing 6 mini OPI shades, which are ridiculously cute looking, it’s one of those sets that doesn’t actually contain any of those naff, filler shades!

The shades included are Passion, Tickle My France'y, Charged Up Cherry, Cajun Shrimp, Malaga Wine and Lincoln Park After Dark. I’m loving the look of Charged Up Cherry, really vibrant and cute!

Twinings Festive Infusions Loose Tea Tins are the perfect gift for any tea lovers, and may I say that the Christmas Thanks variety smells amazing!

 It is a robust black tea blended with fruity Christmas cake flavour. I’m personally not a fan of crimbo cake, but if this tea tastes as good as it smells, I could be persuaded otherwise!

As for the Bottega Sparkling Wine, this bad boy will be put in my fridge until Baby B makes his/her arrival and I can celebrate in style!

All of these lovely gifts and many more amazing ones at fabulous prices are available from the World Duty Free shop at most UK airports now.
