MAKE A WISH

Mother’s Day is just around the corner – May 13.

As we all know, it’s a chance to recognize our mothers – but it’s also a bit more than that.

It’s about recognizing those in your life who are “like a mother” to you – perhaps a sister, aunt, grandmother, best friend.

Wouldn’t it be nice to let those special ladies know how much they mean to you?

We love getting into the Mother’s Day spirit at Maria Luisa Boutique and ML by Maria Luisa, especially as our shops are filled with fashions, accessories, home goods and plenty of ideas that make an ideal gift, whether it’s a beautiful little token or a really elaborate presentation.

FOR THE FASHIONISTA MAMAS

If you’re a mom and want to make it “easy” on those shopping for you – as we do during the holiday season – we’ll again be offering a “Mother’s Day Wish List,” and kicking it all off with a special party May 3.

Here’s a quick run-down of how it all works:

You come by our shops on May 3 – create a “wish list” of items that you’d love to receive (we’ll help you with suggestions and filling out the lists) – and then we’ll hold onto it. Your family and friends can then come in and shop for you from that list, knowing that they are purchasing you something that you’ll truly want – and love. It’s our spin on a gift registry.

As mentioned, we’ll begin our lists May 3, with a special party that evening. Stop by from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. and have a snack, create your list – and simply enjoy the experience.
 

MARIA LUISA GIFT CARD

If you do some of your own shopping that night – you’ll receive 10% off your purchases up to $100 and 20% off your purchases of $100+.

And then, when those shopping for you return and shop off your list – from May 4 to May 10 – we’ll also offer then a 10% discount on those items.

Pretty much a win-win all the way around.

We hope to see you on May 3 – and Happy Mother’s Day in advance.

COZY DAYS… AND NIGHTS

Glow Candle

While we certainly have had our share of warm days – we’re talking near 60-degree days – this winter, for the most part, it’s been seasonally chilly.
You know, the kind of days when you want to stay in bed with a classic movie, or head to the kitchen to whip up something hearty. It’s the season when we often relish the end of the workday so we can head back to our cocoons and simply enjoy our familiar surroundings.
At Maria Luisa Boutique and ML by Maria Luisa, our shelves are filled with items that will add something extra cozy to your surroundings.

Feast

We’re filled with warm sweaters and wraps – and scarves, gloves and hats for those moments out in the cold.
We have candles that will create instant ambience and cookbooks filled with recipes ideal for these cooler days. We have simple-yet-elegant tableware to keep the focus on what you’ve made – and pillows to toss on the couch when it’s “dinner in front of the TV.”
If your down time is about pampering, we’ve got the goods, too, from scented lotions and creams to perfumes and essential oils. There’s a scent for everyone in our varied selection.
And should you need to venture out, say for a gathering with friends, it goes without saying we have the styles to send you on your way with that classic Maria Luisa flair.
Stop by and check it all out!

SCENTS OF THE SEASON

Spring has its flowers. Summer has its salty sea air.

There are scents that just seem to be associated with certain seasons.

And if you stop by Maria Luisa Boutique these days, you’ll be transported directly into the holiday season with a few product lines that are just captivating.

First up is Frasier Fir from Thymes, which takes you either to the heady heart of the forest or in front of the Christmas tree. It’s a scent that seems forever associated with the holidays, and you can savor it through candles, triple-milled soap, reed diffusers and hand cream.

And then there’s Patch NYC Stag, a collection featuring a scent drawn from Siberian fir, cilantro, citrus and a touch of raspberry. A collaboration with local favorites The Soap & Paper Factory, the line includes 100% soy candles, artisan handcrafted soap and eau du cologne.

More? Well, we also have scented products from Illume. We’re loving its Balsam & Cedar candle, which is poured into a “Radiant” metal holder. The company’s proprietary sox wax blend offers “higher fragrance throw” and a clean burn, all housed in a precious-metal finish with just a touch of shine. Then, there’s its Winter White, an aromatic evergreen and frosted cypress scent the company tells us is “dusted with white peppercorn, spicy-cool cardamom and a sparkling citrus nuance, perfectly wrapped in glowing amber.”

It all adds up to some seasonally lush scents.

As Maria herself says, when you’re near the display area for these ideal home or gift products, just, “Close your eyes, and you think you’re in a cabin.”
