The Best Gifts for the Moms in Your Life If All They Want to Do Is Relax
Mother's Day is just around the corner, which means it's time to do something extra nice for the moms, grandmas, or mother figures in your life. Sure, you don't need a day to motivate you to treat them right, but consider this a prime time to spoil those mother figures a little bit more than usual. And honestly, what better way to do so than by gifting them with something that is relaxing, rejuvenating, and all about that TLC.
That's what I'm planning on doing for my mom this year. Forget the chocolates or jewelry or mugs; I'm only getting my mom something that contributes to her self-care routine. Still in need of a gift? Take a look at what I'm eyeing for my own mom this year below.
My mom loves her foot soaks, but she normally uses her bathtub or just a small foot tub for them. This device will upgrade her foot-spa time—it has massage water jets and raised nodes at the bottom to soothe tired feet. Plus, it's got a removable pumice stone to remove calluses.
Pretty much everyone who has used this body oil has given it rave reviews, so it's on my gift list. The lightweight body oil has been soaked in barrels of botanical oils for six months and then infused with açaí, babassu, and passion-fruit oils. It helps firm the skin, reduce the appearance of stretch marks, and hydrate.
