I'm making a "beauty basket" for Mother's Day...

What are some products you would suggest I put in a homemade beauty basket for Mother's Day?  My mom will be 50 soon and has recently taken an interest in exploring beauty/skincare products.  I'd like to give her a mix of things so any and all suggestions are welcome, particularly items offered in trial size.  Thanks!

  • My mom and I both love Bobbi Brown. It seems to be a line that all ages can enjoy. You could order a little something from there, because a long with purchases you get a few samples as well. We both also love Crabtree and Evelyn products.

    Another thumbs up for Bobbi Brown. I am 55y/o and love her intensive skin serum and eye cream. Ask the sale person for some sample to throw in.

    Sephora usually has travel size bath and body products that you could put into the basket. Maybe some small size Philosophy shower gel or body lotion. 

     

  • Thats about the same age as my mom. She loves make-up remover wipes (like the kind from neutrogena), Tarte Amazonian clay blush in exposed (which is simple and pretty universally flattering), vitamin c powder from philosophy, ROC deep wrinkle night cream, the Maybelline instant age rewind concealer/brightener/illuminator, blotting sheets....

  • Sephora has a Sun Safety Kit with sunscreens, SPF moisturizers, tan towels, and lip balms for $30.  They are deluxe sample sizes or bigger and it's $193 worth of product for $30.  I'd look into that with Summer coming.  It also has a variety of brands.
  • If you spend $85 at Kiehls right now you can get 5 Deluxe samples. I wanted to get my mom some of their product anyway so I bought myself something and then kept the samples. (I actually spent $125 so I also got a free full size cleanser). I'm considering diong this again because there are lots of products from there I love. I'm not sure when the special ends though.
