While an expectant mum will probably get lots of blankets, onesies, bibs, and toys from family and friends, not all baby shower gifts have to be for baby. A baby shower is a celebration of motherhood, so gifts for the mum-to-be are equally appropriate.
Why not indulge a mum-to-be with candles? Nothing inspires relaxation like lighting a candle, and Diptyque candles are the most luxurious ones in the market.
Each year, the legendary French perfumer presents a special line of candles in time for the holiday season. For 2013, the holiday collection features a bright and festive design. The candles’ glass containers are gilded over their colouring, which gives them an added luminosity when they’re lit. There are three scents to choose from:
(L-R)
- Encens des Indes is a composition of myrrh and incense with a hint of rose and cornflower.
- Orange Chaya is an exotic citrus and spice blend, comprising of cardamon, quince, cinnamon and ginger.
- Ecorce de pin is a woody fragrance with a hint of hinoki (a Japanese cypress tree), galbanum, cedar and patchouli.
Price: RM275 (190gm) & RM135 (70gm)
The Holiday 2013 collection also includes three gift sets that is a reinterpretation of the diptyque graphic codes.
190g Candle + Scented Oval Set (RM379.00) – A very diptyque home fragrance duo limited editions containing a candle and scented oval ritual for best sellers Figuier and Baies.
3 x 70g Winter Fragrance Set (RM 329) – A limited edition trio of 3 winter fragrances Feu de Bois, Pomander and Opopanax.
5 x 35g Candle Set (RM319) – Limited edition set to celebrate 50 years of candle creation with a specially designed notice putting forward diptyque’s expertise and creativity.
Want to give a gift a mum-to-be will actually love? Put down the bubble bath and pick up one of these.
The Holiday 2013 Collection will be available mid November onwards from Diptyque at Fashion Avenue Pavilion KL, Isetan KLCC, KENS apothecary Bangsar Village II and KENS apothecary One Utama.
