Solving the tricky issue of Mother’s Day gifting takes a bit of creativity and consideration – especially when the giftee protests so much! While she claims she wants nothing for Mother’s Day, it is important to acknowledge all she does and all she’s done for us, even with a small token. But what?

Liffey Valley Shopping Centre, one of Ireland’s largest shopping destinations, has lovingly compiled a list of meaningful gift ideas to help you spoil all the special women in your life. With over 80 exciting stores, 20 delicious restaurants and a state-of-the-art cinema showing all the best movies, Liffey Valley has something for everyone.

Her favourite scent

How about updating her fragrance? Find out what she wears and pick up a new edition. Whether she uses Daisy by Marc Jacobs, or is more of a Mugler dame, it’s likely she will appreciate the scented gesture. The Perfume Shop at Liffey Valley offers great value perfumes across a range of luxury brands.

Some lovely suds

It has been a rough-and-tumble start to spring, and providing an impetus for your mum to take some pampering time adds some thoughtfulness to any gift. Help her rest, relax and reset with the L’Occitane’s Rest & Reset Collection, or choose from the wide range of Bath, Body and Home collections at Rituals for a meaningful gift-wrapped moment of peace.

A make-up update

Transitioning to a lighter make-up bag in March can be tricky – we all covet new trends in lipsticks, blushes and pots of polish without any keenness to treat ourselves. Why not update your mum’s make-up bag with a delicate cosmetic treat? Boots offers the very best in luxury cosmetics and at the brand-new Liffey Valley branch, you can browse from over 30 leading premium beauty brands including Elizabeth Arden, Estée Lauder, Yves Saint Laurent, Chanel and Clarins.

Sweet treats and fresh petals

The chocolates-and-flowers combination gift is a classic for a reason! Every woman (and many men) love to be treated to fresh, pretty flowers and delicious sweet treats. Why not pick up the Pink Keepsake Box of handcrafted sweet treats from Butlers Chocolates, coupled with a beautiful bouquet of fantastic florals from Marks & Spencer.

Cosy covers or luxury loungewear

Nobody ever said no to a fuzzy gift – and certainly not one of a chic and cosy blanket like the The Scatter Box – Ziggy Throw. It is pure luxury! Or, look to Carolyn Donnelly’s eclectic range at Dunnes Stores Liffey Valley featuring a variety of beautiful nightwear options, perfect for languishing evenings, or late Sunday mornings.

Or… take your mama out!

Following an afternoon of gifts galore, make your Mother’s Day brunch or dinner bookings in Zizzis or Milano’s, or treat her to cocktails from Cosmo, before spending quality time together with a feelgood flick in one of the 14-screens at Liffey Valley’s state-of-the-art Vue Cinema.

Still not sure what to give the woman who wants nothing? Why not give the gift of choice with a Liffey Valley Gift Card which they can spend in any of Liffey Valley’s retail, hospitality and entertainment outlets. For more information visit www.liffeyvalley.ie.
