With an Audible membership, she can listen to her favorite books while traveling and won’t be weighed down by hardbacks. Once she’s done with her book, she can quickly start on another.

Mother’s Day Gifts for Home
Glasshouse Fragrance Products
If you follow my Instagram, it’s no secret that I am a massive lover of Glasshouse Fragrances products.
This Australian-owned brand is best known for their dreamy range of candles inspired by global destinations, but have expanded into diffusers, body lotion and most recently fragrances.
Highly recommend One Night in Rio (Passionfruit and lime with a touch of Melon) and Kyoto in Bloom (think cherry blossoms and airy lotus flowers).
