Beauty Spot

With March now upon us and spring hopefully just around the corner, Semichem HQ is filled with the joys of the impending season that'll hopefully bring lots of sunshine and lots of fabulous new fashions and fads for us to get our teeth into. First things first though, March brings a special occasion that's tailor made for you to show your mum how much you care on Mother's Day and after the great response we received to our last blog, Mothers Day perfumes made easy with Semichem, we thought we'd dig a little deeper and share some of our expertise on finding the perfect mothers day gift.

When customers come to us seeking advice on what to get their mum for mothers day we always start by trying to understand what type of woman their mother is before starting to head down the road of trying to match who they are to a gift.  Typically though we find mothers fall into 4 different categories - Earth Mothers, Business Woman, Feel Good Females and Golden Oldies.  Although quite often people fall into more than one category these categories give us the basic framework to help you find the perfect Mother's Day gift.  So lets explore these categories a little further and see if we can give you a little nudge in the right direction to find the right gift for your mum.

Earth Mother

If your mum is still a bit of a hippy at heart and loves to be in contact with nature then a skin care gift set to keep her feeling young and fantastic might be the best gift for her.  Dove has a fantastic reputation for creating wonderful skin care products that help you feel great and keep your skin super soft.  Check out the Dove Go Fresh Washbag gift set for a great gift set to help her feel energised and in touch with nature.

Business Mum

If your mum is a strong business woman with a wonderfully confident and sophisticated aura then buying her a perfume to match could be a great way to spoil her this mothers day.  Perfumes are like people in that they all have different traits and personalities and if you can find the right scent then perfume can be an extremely rewarding and personal gift.  For a range of sophisticated scent that ooze class and confidence have a look at our Armani perfume section, in particular Armani Code, as not only does it have the stylish Armani name it also has a fantastically confident and feminine scent.

Feel Good Female

If your mum looks great and puts those half her age to shame with her energy and enthusiasm then why not spoil her with a perfume to match her zest for life.  Following the same principles as the Business Mum above, the perfume should be full of citrus and floral tones that renew her spirit and make her feel alive, invigorated and most of all beautiful.  Look in our Lacoste perfume section for inspiration as Lacoste perfumes have a reputation of being energetic while still being sophisticated and charming.

Golden Oldie

Although perhaps the category name is not the most glamorous, it doesn't mean the mothers in this category have a smaller love of life or enthusiasm. Simply put, woman in this category know exactly who they are and exactly what type of products they love.  They tend to love classic perfumes and cosmetics that remind them of their prime and with this in mind why not indulge them with something from the Elizabeth Arden range.  With perfumes such as Elizabeth Arden Red Door, Elizabeth Arden created one of the first global cosmetics and fragrance companies thanks to their quality, style and attention to detail and their products still remain high on best sellers lists across the globe.

These categories are a very rough set of guidelines to help you get started on finding the right mothers day gift for your mum but if you feel your mum doesn't fall  into any of the above categories then drop us a comment below and we'll do our best to come up with a list of suggestions to hopefully help you spoil your mum with the perfect gift this mothers day.
