More ideas for Mother’s Day 2017, which is coming up on Sunday, 14 May. If you missed it, do see part 1.

If the Barneys description is correct, all 12 share the same cherry blossom scent: "Gently wrap your skin with the faint fragrance of cherry blossoms. A hand cream so soft leaving you with silky smooth skin, without the stickiness. Adored by beauty experts, each charmingly decorated tin represents a quintessential element of the cultural essence of Japan." $20 for 42 ml.

It is out now in Australia (150 ml for $69 AUD), and should be available most everywhere by June.
