And why not complement this pampering experience with an extra treatment? A beauty treatment for the hands is a must — whether you’re going for a natural look or a trendy, colourful one. Because she’s worth it — and you know it.
A COLOURFUL PIECE FROM LA FILLE EN BOHÈME

A PERFUME FROM MAISON ALEF
Looking for a gift with character? Gift your mum a perfume from Maison Alef, a company based in Nice that masterfully blends Mediterranean and Oriental scents. ‘Each fragrance evokes a sunlit stroll through the alleys of Nice and the shores of Tunis’, with notes of orange blossom, sea spray, and precious woods. Irresistible perfumes, combining quality and softness at an affordable price. A refined essence for an inspiring and unforgettable woman, just like your mum.
A THAI MASSAGE AT BAN THAÏ SPA
For a mum who’s on the go all year round, perhaps the best gift of all is… a break! At Ban Thaï Spa, right in the heart of Carré d’Or, you can forget all your worries and embark on a journey for just a moment with the Aroma Zen package from €100, which will definitely help you unwind. Using traditional Thai techniques, this massage encourages deep relaxation, soothes the mind and reconnects you with yourself. All in a zen atmosphere that makes you feel good from the moment you step inside. A true sensory getaway — without leaving Nice!
And for a small yet thoughtful gesture, there’s nothing better than to treat her to a special book that our booksellers in Nice have carefully selected for you.
