Mothers Day is the day we set aside each year to show
appreciation to our own mother and to the mothers in our lives that we love.
Traditionally Mothers
Day is the big “Flowers and Chocolate” day. While most moms do
enjoy lovely flowers and chocolate, below are some ways that we can pamper
mom with gifts and activities that she will remember for years to come.
1. Give Her a Massage
Treat mom to a relaxing massage. Besides just feeling good massage offers
many benefits to your body such as reducing stress and anxiety, improves
circulation,
relieves general body tension and muscle stiffness, improves muscle tone,
removes toxins from the muscles, improves flexibility in muscles and joints,
improves
the immune system, promotes healthy skin and much more.
2. Spa Gift Basket
Mom will love a gift basket filled with an assortment of stress relieving
goodies to pamper herself on Mothers Day or anytime she needs to relax.
Some ideas
of what you can include in her Spa Basket are scented bath gel, bath salts,
body lotions, candles, eye pillow, bath pillow and bath brush.
3. Journal/Scrapbook
Moms love to record special events, especially those events that include
special moments with their children. A journal is a great affordable gift
where she
can record her special thoughts and memories. You can take it a step further
by giving her a scrapbook where she can also add pictures, fun borders, scrapbook
embellishments and more to her written thoughts. This gift can last forever!

4. Candles
Scented Candles are a really affordable and practical gift that any mom will
love. Candles provide a relaxing mood and can help her to de-stress by providing
memories of special events. A baby scented candle can remind her of when
she first held you. A peppermint scented candle can bring back memories of
Christmas
you spent together. Candles come in many shapes, sizes and scents so you
are sure to find one to remind mom of a special time you both shared together.
Once you find a scent mom likes add a little note to the gift card of what
special time you spent together the scent you chose represents.
5. Facial
Moms love to be pampered and a facial is a wonderful relaxing way to do it.
You can treat her to a spa for a facial by a licensed practitioner or you
can give her a facial gift basket filled with skin care products according
to her
skin type for her to do at home at her leisure.
6. Clean House
Treat mom to a “Clean House Day” where you clean her house from
top to bottom while she spends her day relaxing and enjoying herself doing
whatever it is she likes to do.
7. Mommy and Me Day
Mommy and Me days are not just for mom and little ones anymore. You and mom
can spend the day doing whatever is relaxing and enjoyable to you both. Having
lunch or dinner together, watching a movie, going to the spa for massages
and facials together, whatever she would like to do. The point is to give
her the
gift of knowing that you love her and enjoy spending quality time with her.
8. Send Her on a Date
Sometimes mom just needs a little time to get away from the everyday chores
in life like cooking and cleaning the house. Send her on a date with dad
to their favorite restaurant.
9. Yoga
Give the gift of good health to your mom this Mothers Day with a membership
to a Yoga class. Yoga is great for relaxation and flexibility as well as
being a fun way to get fit and stay fit.
10. Give Her a Hug and Tell
Her You Love Her
This tip is sometimes the most overlooked! We all love
our moms but sometimes as we get older and get busy with our own lives we take
mom for granted and forget the gift that is most important to her- US! Spend
quality time with mom. Give her a big hug and tell her that you love and appreciate
her. It’s a free gift and one that mom will love most off all.
