Mothers bring about life and are a force of nature. Theirs is the purest and most unconditional love. How can we possibly show them our appreciation? Perhaps with gifts that are thoughtful, calming, and restorative. We find that they inherently encourage the nurturing act of selfcare.
It can be a tall order to find something that fully expresses just how much she means to you. Need inspiration? Here, we've rounded up gift ideas for every kind of mom that's sure to make her feel adored.
Since Mother's Day is about celebrating moms of all kinds, consider that many of these gifts also work for grandmas, mothers-in-law, aunties, stepmoms, and godmothers.
Gifts for the Wellness Warrior Mama
Infused Body Scrubs
If she enjoys skincare, a collection of body scrubs are a great gift to compliment her ritual. Mineral-rich Himalayan pink salt purifies, green clay detoxifies the body, and black lava salt inspires mental clarity.

Consider pairing scrubs with a bath soak for a restorative bathing set. We look for ones combining skin-soothing oats and botanicals like ginger tostimulate circulation. We’re feeling more relaxed already.
Maternity Spa-Day Kit
Don’t forget to pamper the mamas-to-be with a dry brush, bamboo robe, shower gel, and body oil.
Soy Wax Candle
We love warming scents like smoked vanilla and clean scents like cedar to fill a room while we unwind. You’ll want to avoid paraffin and instead use non-toxic soy blend candles to set a mood and create ambiance.

Speaking of ambiance, create a zen moment with the mesmerizing chimes and gentle vibrations from a sound bath. They’ll lull her into tranquility and pure bliss.
