Indulge In Mother’s Day

Mother’s Day is just around the corner (May 11th), and if you’re like me you might be struggling to find the perfect gift for mom.  When I buy gifts for people, I like to think of something that they normally wouldn’t buy for themselves.  My mom was one of those mother’s who never spent much money on herself.  So, when I buy my mom a gift, I like to give her something that is pampering, and that’s usually some sort of bath and body product.  To me, beauty is the ultimate indulgence.

I’ve come up with a few gifts that I think fit my indulgence theme.  I’ve also tried to find items that will fit into any one’s price range.  Here’s my list:

Philosophy Breakfast in Bed:  What mom doesn’t want breakfast in bed?  Now you can send her the gift of breakfast in bed no matter how close you live to her.  Philosophy has a handy breakfast in bed gift set that includes a trio of deliciously scented hair and body cleansers, inspired by weekend treats.  Your mom can have her pick from Cafe au lait, Fresh Cream and Belgian Waffles, all for $30.  Delicious!

Marc Jacobs Daisy Solid Perfume Ring:  You get a lot of bang for your buck with this gift; a ring and perfume.  Daisy is a fresh and feminine fragrance that any mom would adore.  The ring has a vintage feel to it with a youthful twist.  Now your mom can look glamorous and smell glamorous anytime or anywhere, for only $30.

shu uemura ‘Pleasures of Japanese Bath’:  Baths are one of the most indulgent things you can do for yourself and every mother deserves a nice hot bath.  With the gift of this bath oil, you can make her bath even better.  The softening oil will turn her bath and her skin into silk.  There’s four different scents to choose from, but I have my eye on the Cherry Blossom scent, it symbolizes the joy of the upcoming Spring, perfect timing for Mother’s Day.  For $40, you can give your mom the rest and relaxation she deserves.

Lancôme TRÉSOR BOUQUET:  This one is personal to me because I grew up with my mom wearing Tresor.  Recently it has made a comeback and I’m finding myself loving the fragrance all over again.  This gift set includes everything your mom could ever need when it comes to smelling beautiful:  3.4 oz perfume, body lotion, foaming bath gel and a deluxe miniature perfume she can carry around in her purse.  The set is worth $127, but you can purchase the set for Mother’s Day price of $81.

Fresh Sugar Star Treatment Gift Set:  This set includes some of Fresh’s most decadent body treatments to leave your mom feeling, well, decadent.  Your mom can scrub up with the cult favorite, Brown Sugar body polish.  She can soften her lips with the Sugar lip treatment and keep her hands supple with the Sugar Blossom hand treatment.  Your mom will be left feeling like a queen and all for $85.

Mother’s Day is the perfect day to show your mom that you care and what better way to do that than to splurge on her…after all, I’m sure she’s still splurging on you.  Happy Mother’s Day!
