Mothers’ Day products

It’s Mothers’ Day tomorrow but before you lunge for your mobile to reserve a table and make Interflora a little richer, Rachel Marie Walsh suggests you consider nipping to the shops this afternoon for something she’ll really love.

Laura Mercier Ambre Vanillé Honey Pot, €45

Laura Mercier’s big honey-pots of bath emulsion are my favourite things to gift. They look like apothecary jars and inspire a Cleopatra-style devotion to bathing. Warm, sweet Ambre Vanillé is the newest and nicest addition to the collection. One twirl of the dipper creates a full-on bubble bath laced with moisturising shea butter and vanilla extract, so it lasts for ages. Sweet almond and oat proteins, hydrolyzed rice and pro-vitamin B-5 balance and protect the skin. The corresponding Body Soufflé, €54, is equally fabulous.
