Jewellery: the must-have Mother's Day gift
A cultured pearl necklace or an eye-glass chain: two trendy jewels for an elegant mum, even on the beach.
Want to dress your mum in trendy jewellery? Here is our little selection so she stays elegant in all circumstances, even on the beach.
1. A cultured pearl necklace
Give some jewellery for Mother's Day and you are sure to make her happy! We found a pretty necklace set with a cultured pearl, the ideal jewel for mums who like to keep a little piece of the ocean on them. Modern and elegant, this long chain is available in gold or silver, to suit every mum's style. A lovely way to wear a mother-of-pearl bead!

2. An eye-glass chain
Remember your grandparents' glasses chains and cords? These accessories are back in force, but forget the old-school look: they are now real trendy jewels that dress up your glasses and your face. Do not be surprised if eye-glass chains become a must-have among holidaymakers. To keep your mum on trend this summer, give her a pretty chain to wear like a jewel. Besides adding style, it is very handy for anyone who keeps losing their glasses.

A well-being gift to pamper your mum
A thalassotherapy break or an exotic relaxation box: a moment of well-being just for her.
Besides jewellery, there is another classic gift for Mother's Day: a little well-being time just for her.
3. A thalassotherapy break
To pamper your beloved mum properly, give her a relaxing thalassotherapy break (page in French). Hydromassage bath, seaweed or clay wrap, seawater pool, massages... soothing treatments that use the benefits of the ocean, for a mum more relaxed than ever. You might even want to go with her! Choose your formula: à la carte treatments, half-day, full day, weekend... there is something for every budget.
4. A relaxation box for well-being at home
For a moment of well-being at home, choose a relaxation box that will transport your mother to idyllic beaches. A Mother's Day gift idea with exotic notes, bringing escape and relaxation to everyday life. We recommend the cocooning wellness pack by EQ, made up of a candle scented with vanilla and tiare flower, a monoi body cream and a repairing serum for beautiful hair. Lovely relaxing breaks that smell of summer!
