Still not sure how to celebrate the mothers in your life? Look no further than my favorite products to pamper Mom - and to thank her for all the pampering she does all year long:
- In my opinion, there is no faster way to unwind and relax than a hot, fragrant bath. (I'm the mother of two young boys and - not surprisingly! - a huge fan of decadent bath products.) Help your favorite moms carve out some "me time" with Jo Malone's Bath Oil Collection Set - it includes six delicious and unique scents like Lime, Basil & Mandarin and Blue Agava & Cacao. Better yet, each bath oil is presented in a gorgeous glass decanter to make your gift's recipient feel like the queen she is.
- Want to give any moms-to-be a head start on the Mother's Day celebrations? Belli's Pregnancy Gift Box is specially formulated with the needs of expectant moms in mind, and includes Foot Relief Cream for swollen tootsies and Elasticity Belly Oil to minimize stretch marks.
- For first-time moms, this could be the most memorable Mother's Day they'll ever have - so take some time to come up with the right gift. Here's an idea to get you started: Studies have shown that the relaxing properties of lavender-scented bath products significantly calm both mothers and babies, and help babies spend more time in deep sleep after bath time. Sounds like Aveeno's Calming Comfort Baby Bath would be a welcome addition to any new mom's routine! (Better yet, add a bottle of L'Occitane's Lavender Body Lotion so she can take care of herself, too.)
- If you know a mom who's in charge of the bulk of her household's chores, you better believe her hands are taking a hit! L'Occitane's Shea Butter Hand Cream is incredibly rich and can quickly undo the damage that harsh cleaning products and frequent hand washing have done. If your gift-giving budget can stand it, throw in L'Occitane's Shea Butter Nail & Cuticle Cream to really give her hands a makeover.
- Does the mom you're shopping for also happen to be your wife? You'll make her day when you present her with this richly moisturizing Almond Massage Oil from Crabtree & Evelyn, along with a handmade gift certificate for a long, relaxing massage!
Wishing you great skin, and a very happy Mother's Day!
