*PR Invite
My mom loves visiting me in Limburg, so this was the perfect excuse for a full-blown mother-daughter day in Maastricht — complete with coffee, shopping, good food… and of course, Pip. (Plus my dad and boyfriend joined too — it turned into a full-on family day.)

Stepping Into Scented Luxury
When we arrived at the Marie-Stella-Maris boutique, we were warmly welcomed by one of the lovely store girls, who instantly set the tone with her soft voice and even softer scent trail of No.12 Objets d’Amsterdam — the brand’s iconic fragrance. She told us about the fresh notes of bergamot and green tea layered with soft musk and amber, and honestly? I would have bought the whole store right then and there.


A Gift With Thought
Then came the surprise: my mom got to choose her Mother’s Day gift — and without hesitation, she picked the Caring Travel Essentials. It’s so her: stylish and practical, perfect for all the little getaways she plans with my dad (aka her favorite hobby these days). Lucky me also got to pick a present (I know!) and I went for the Caring Home Gift Set — because let’s be honest, my house deserved a glow-up.
The gifts were wrapped in their signature elegant bag, misted with fragrance, and handed over like the little luxury treasures they are. It felt like our own mini Mother’s Day celebration — and we hadn’t even hit the cafés yet.

One to Remember
We ended the day with, you guessed it, more coffee, some sunshine strolls, and just a really cozy time as a family. It was simple, personal, and full of thoughtful moments — everything I love about Mother’s Day.
Still looking for a meaningful gift for your mom? I highly recommend the Marie-Stella-Maris collection — chic, conscious, and guaranteed to impress. Shop here te collection!
