Mothers - they exist in every form. There are mothers who devote all of their time, their care, and their lives to raising their children - cheering their babies on in every endeavor they take on. Be it your first steps or your last sports game, your mom was there supporting you.
There are also mothers who devoted their time and energy to making a living to provide for their families. She may not have been able to make every recital or mid-afternoon school event, but she did as much as she possibly could to provide as good of a life for you. Trust me, as much as it hurt you that she couldn’t be there to hear you sing with your class about how special mothers are - it hurt her more.
There are mothers who play both roles as mom and dad, who are both the caretakers and breadwinners, mothers who are born into their roles but have not yet had the opportunity to fulfill that dream - the list goes on and on.
Being a mother, having a mother, and loving a mother looks different to everyone - but the one thing all mothers have in common is that they are terribly difficult to shop for.
That’s what we’re here for.
Give the gift of relaxation. If there’s one thing we’ve heard all mothers say, or maybe only seen in their body language, it is that they deserve a break. This Pure Zen Candle is made with a blend of Lavender and Jasmine essential oils. It is filled with aromatherapy benefits to promote relaxation and improve sleep quality. The essential oils can also help manage anxiety, reduce stress, and reduce feelings of anger. Mothers spend their days putting out fires, managing the household, and tending to everyone else’s needs - it’s time to give her the time and space to tend to her own needs.
Give the gift of instant gratification. For the on-the-go mothers who simultaneously manage the household and tick off the never-ending checklists. This is where you can improve her quality of life and avoid the awkward conversation of what that smell in your room actually is. Our Coastal Spritz Room Spray is the gift for her - the bright grapefruit notes are blended with the floral jasmine essential oils and balanced out with eucalyptus. It’s energizing, fresh, and beautiful (yes, this scent is beautiful). With just one spray, her atmosphere can instantly smell luxurious by absorbing odors in the air before any cleaning is done.
3. Being Frenshe Soothing Body Serum Stick with Magnesium
Key Fragrance Notes: Vanilla and Amber Musk
All mothers deserve a deep tissue massage every day - but since that isn’t feasible for most of them, an alternative to soothe their aches and pains is the Being Frenshe Soothing Body Serum Stick. The magnesium in this body serum stick can be absorbed safely through the skin to support healthy muscles and nerve functions as well as decrease inflammation and promote better sleep. This body serum stick comes in three different scents - Lavender Cloud, Bergamot Cedar, and our personal favorite, Cashmere Vanilla. This easy-to-hold tube of magic glides smoothly onto the skin while boosting hydration for more vibrant, healthier-looking skin.
For mothers who are low maintenance when it comes to self-care. The perfect way to easily incorporate a little treat for her that she can use every day is this body conditioner by Lush. Sometimes, taking a quick shower is a luxury in itself, so is it lazy or is it genius to be able to make moisturizing a part of your shower routine? This creamy body conditioner is packed with nutrients her skin will love to nourish her body without feeling greasy afterward - and she will smell like vanilla and roses. Made with natural ingredients, she can leave all her worries at the shower door.
5. A Break
Key Fragrance Notes: Peace and Relaxation
We understand times are hard and not everyone has the luxury to buy a gift for the mothers in their lives - and gift giving may also not be what your mother or partner wants or needs to feel loved and appreciated. However, I don’t think I can think of one mother who wouldn’t want to be able to drop everything and just do what she wants to do, all day long. Let her drop that mental load she’s been carrying around, plan and execute all the meals for the day (or week!), clean the kitchen, do the laundry, take care of the kids and let her be. The way to make this treat a gift is by doing what she would usually do for you and the family (without causing more work for her afterward) and letting her mind be filled with only what she would like to do. Take the load off of her shoulders completely and give the mother in your life a much-deserved break.
