Mother’s Day is rapidly approaching, falling this year in the UK on Sunday 19th March, and as usual, the ripple of present-buying panic has begun to spread.
Selecting a Mother’s Day gift is uniquely stressful, especially when you want to go above and beyond the usual chocolates and flowers and give something special and meaningful.
It may sound twee, but it really is true that it’s the thought that counts. The following is a carefully curated list of dreamy Mother’s Day gift ideas that we guarantee will delight mothers or mother figures of all ages.
La Bonne Brosse No.1 The Universal Hair Care Brush £128
La Bonne Brosse can justifiably lay claim to produced the finest hairbrushes in the world. Each component of the company’s brushes is carefully sourced, from the acetate, which is produced in France by the last remaining French acetate manufacturer, to the boar bristles, which are imported from artisanal producers in South East Asia and are ‘first cut’, therefore richer in keratin. The nylon fibres are also among the finest on the market. Made in Europe, their flexibility, thickness and softness have been carefully studied to deliver an experience that combines stimulating massage with a gentle brush. The softness and bounce ofthe rubber into which the bristles of the hair brush are inserted is also considered and La Bonne Brosse offers the softest shore quality to provide the perfect bounce, brushing without breakage and enhanced comfort. The brushes are ergonomically designed to follow the curves of the head and neck.
There are four main types of brush, designed for a variety of hair types. Helpfully, there is a diagnostic questionnaire on La Bonne Brosse’s website to help customers determine which brush is most appropriate for their needs.
