When my salary is just deposited, I buy both very expensive food and, if possible, I stop by Skins. A scented candle from Diptyque that might be a bit pricey but makes me so happy, the shampoo from Christophe Robin or Santal 33 from Le Labo (really, with this perfume you get the most compliments ever). Skins is paradise for people who love beauty. Everything is of five-star quality and everything has a story.

Now I’m not really fond of surprises, but the Discovery Box from Skins is a huge exception to that. For €39 you get a box worth €89. In the May edition, you will find my favorite shampoo from Christophe Robin (it contains jujube bark which regulates your sebum production making your hair less greasy and it also fights dandruff and smells so good), a perfume from Ella K, a miniature scented candle from Diptyque (so nice to take on trips), a fragrance from Maison Francis Kurkdjian, a booster serum from Patyka, the bestselling tonic from REN, a setting spray from COOLA (fixes your makeup) and a loose powder from Laura Mercier (her makeup products).

So if you want to have a really nice gift for Mother’s Day: stop searching. You’ve found it now. Or a nice gift to self. Right?
