This year, it’s on Sunday, May 26th that we will all be able to tell and show our moms how much we love them for Mother’s Day.
Of course, we love them the rest of the year too, but this day is an opportunity for a special gesture, which, let’s be honest, is always appreciated.
Here is my little selection of the best deals to take advantage of for this Mother’s Day!
If you want to buy chocolate for your mom and treat her to quality products, I advise you to take a look at my article on Pierre Marcolini.
It will certainly give you some ideas, and it’s a great opportunity to introduce this true cocoa bean artisan to your mom (and maybe yourself too), especially if she is a chocolate lover.
- Glossybox is offering a special limited edition beauty box for Mother’s Day, with 6 cosmetic products for 25€ instead of 80€! That could be a great deal.
- A theater outing with your mom to see L.A.D.I.E.S! a play full of freshness, enthusiasm, and humor, tackling the lives of today’s women. However, you will have to give your gift a little in advance because the play ends on May 18th.
This burlesque, musical, and social show is tailor-made for 3 actresses and a pianist. Lynda, Anne-Catherine, and Marie-No present their personalized coaching agency: L.A.D.I.E.S! The League of Determined, Independent, Fulfilled, and Serene Amazons, during a sung and danced conference.
At Comédie Nation / 77 rue de Montreuil 75011 Paris
Attention: last performance on May 18th! Fridays at 9 PM and Saturdays at 7 PM
- A promo code for Mother’s Day: MAMAN (valid until 05/26/2013) on the website www.labelhabitation.com. This code allows you to receive a bag hanger jewelry with any purchase on the site, to accompany the gift for moms.
- Advantageous offers to treat your mom or enjoy with her at the Spa dans le Noir in Paris, which I told you about in a previous article (for more info, see the Spa Dans le Noir website and contact them by phone or email). Another great deal: for the creation of 1-hour training sessions, these are 45€ for two people to learn how to massage each other, instead of 95€.
If your mom is a wine lover (yes, it’s not just for men), I advise you to offer her a bottle from the Mas Belles Eaux wine estate to help her discover or rediscover Languedoc wines. As a bonus, these wines are excellent (tasted and approved) and really not very expensive.
You can go through their e-shop to order or contact their distributor in France: Chemin des Vignes Paris & Issy les Moulineaux and take advantage of the special Mother’s Day promo code!
- Colette is organizing a kawaii-style Mother’s Day Cooklette on Friday, May 24th from 5 PM to 6:30 PM, featuring the creation of a surprise Dango (small Japanese dumplings made from rice flour and water) in the company of Miho Saji, creator of the eponymous magazine.
Sign up your kids over 6 years old quickly so they can let their imagination run wild and bring you back their gourmet gifts made in Japan! Registration at cooklette@colette.fr (limited number of spots).
- For Mother’s Day, Sud express and Durance are teaming up to help you win gifts that are as beautiful as they are fragrant. You can try your luck from May 20th to 26th inclusive by answering the quiz on the Sud express Facebook page.
- A little post-Mother’s Day tip: if you received a pasta necklace from your little one, the brand Murat Paris offers you to present it in one of their stores and leave gracefully with a pretty silver farfalle (offer valid between May 26th and June 8th, 2013).
All that remains is to wish a Happy Mother’s Day a little in advance to all my mom readers, and especially a very happy day to my own mom, who I know comes regularly to read these lines.
GIVEAWAY:
I am offering you, in partnership with the specialist store for gardening, decoration, and pet supplies Truffaut, a chance to win a floral arrangement on the blog so you can give a nice gift to your mom.
This floral creation will be made according to the inspiration of the florist at the Parisian Truffaut store located not far from the François Mitterrand library (85 quai de la Gare 75013 Paris) and will therefore need to be picked up on-site by the winner (sorry to non-Parisians) starting Saturday, May 25th (the exact details will be decided with the winner after the giveaway).
To participate, nothing complicated, just tell me in a comment what you would like to give your mom from the Truffaut website!
Then, a draw among the responses will determine the winner of this floral arrangement. Good luck to everyone!
Rules:
– Giveaway limited to Metropolitan France
– + 1 chance if you are a fan of the blog’s Facebook page; + 1 chance if you follow the blog’s Twitter page; + 1 chance if you follow the blog’s hellocoton page (don’t forget to leave your username in your comment if you want to benefit from extra chance(s), and you can thus accumulate up to 3 additional chances)
– 1 entry per IP address
– Transport to the bouquet collection point is at the winner’s expense
– Giveaway start date: Wednesday, May 15, 2013 – deadline for participation: Wednesday, May 22, 2013 and results the following day on the blog
EDIT of May 23, 2013:
Following the draw, I am announcing that the winner of the Truffaut flower bouquet is Vanessa Miget Degrave.
Congratulations to you, I will quickly contact you by email so that we can arrange the withdrawal of the floral arrangement!
And thank you all for your participation.
