Waitrose Mother’s Day sale includes William Morris: ‘Love the smell’

With Mother’s Day mere days away, there’s not long left to find the perfect gift for the mother figure in our lives. Beauty treats are often a great option, giving hardworking mums some much needed pamper time without breaking the bank.

Naturally, many of us will also want to gather with much-loved mums, stepmums, nans and aunties on March 15th, and Waitrose is offering a third off British beef and 25% off tasty sides, making it the ideal one-stop shop for a Sunday roast with all the trimmings. The retailer isn’t only offering meal ideas this Mother’s Day, as William Morris – known for its intricately decorated beauty and lifestyle pieces – has a variety of Mother’s Day gifts available with 20% off on the retailer’s website.

With spring firmly on the horizon, we’re big fans of this William Morris At Home Strawberry Thief Medium Wash Bag which is adorned with the thrushes that Morris found stealing fruit from his garden. Perfect for mums who like to travel or for those in need of a new makeup bag, the pretty piece has been cut in price from £16 to £12.80.

The beautiful bag has yet to receive any reviews on the Waitrose website, however we reckon it would be perfect filled with some of mum’s favourite products. One downside is that the item is wipe clean only, so it may prove impractical for some.

Ideal for busy mums who are always on the go, the duo can be spritzed on a pillow and applied to the pulse points as part of a calming bedtime routine. The pulse point product includes magnesium to help promote relaxation, making it a great option for mums who spend their time rushing around and always looking after others.

Now £11.20, down from £14, in true William Morris style the packaging on this duo is almost too pretty not to keep on display. We all know a mother figure who’s so busy taking care of everyone else they forget to take some time for themselves, so the William Morris At Home £10 Golden Lily Hand Creams are a perfect treat they can use in front of the TV.

Also ideal for slipping in a handbag for use on the go, these sweetly packaged beauty treats give a nod to spring thanks to their floral design. Currently rated five stars on the Waitrose website, one reviewer said they were ‘very happy’ with the item for gifting, writing: “Bought as a gift. Beautifully presented.”

It is worth noting as with any beauty product, personal preferences on formula and fragrance may vary. Alternatively, the creams are also available in the premium-looking £10 Strawberry Thief Patchouli & Red Berry variety which would team nicely with the matching makeup bag. Boasting berry and cardamom scents, they’re formulated with protective Strawberry Seed extract and skin-loving vitamin E.

Other beauty gifts we’ve spotted on the high street include Charlotte Tilbury’s Pillow Talk Icons on the go Lip & Eye Kit for £47. Boots also offers the Mother’s Day Beauty Box for £60 but it’s worth over £310.

Back at Waitrose, and another William Morris gift on offer is the At Home Patchouli & Red Berry Scented Wax Tablets which usually retail for £12 but are now £9.60. Boasting one five star review, the shopper who left it was impressed with the scent, commenting: “Had bought these previously and when they were on sale, grabbed them again. Just love the smell and it’s long lasting.”

Designed as an alternative to air fresheners, the tablets can be put in drawers, closets or any desired location making them a practical yet pretty gift. It is worth considering the tablets may not throw the scent as far in larger rooms, however they’re something a little different for homeware lovers.

Those wishing to shop for Mother’s Day gifts and food will find a variety of deals now live at Waitrose.
