Gifts for the Spa Lover
Give her spa gifts that pamper all year long
It’s tough work being a mom, so from time to time, they need to unwind and soak away stress. If Mom is a spa lover, she’ll know the value of treating herself right - after all, the more relaxed she is, the better she can take care of her family. One of the greatest spa gifts you can give Mom is a little peace and quiet. Plan to get out of the house for a few hours or send her away to enjoy some rest and relaxation. Feeling creative? Make Mom her own home spa! When you’re all back together again, show her how much you appreciate her by going out for a tasty dinner or cleaning up around the house.

- Aromatherapy oils - Certain scents can affect people’s moods. Citrus scents are invigorating while lavender is soothing and calming. A set of aromatherapy oils will allow Mom to create custom-scented baths to match her mood.
- Moisture gloves - If Mom suffers from super dry skin, these gloves can help. After she slathers on some hand cream, the gloves help lock in the moisture. She can sleep with them or just lounge and watch TV while her skin absorbs more moisture. These gloves are great Mother’s Day gifts for gardening moms too!
- Bath pillow - For moms who enjoy a long hot soak in the tub, a bath pillow is a must. These ergonomic designs keep Mom from getting a neck cramp while she relaxes. They’re also great for keeping her hair dry if she just wants to soak.
Gifts up to $50
- Foot spas - Invigorating jets and soothing massage make home foot spas a delightful treat. If Mom spends a lot of time on her feet, a foot spa when she gets home will help her relax her aches. It will make a great Mother’s Day gift for on-their-feet fashionista moms too.
- Paraffin baths - These neat moisture treatments heat blocks of wax to liquid temperatures. Mom dips in her hands, lets them dry, then peels off the wax to exfoliate and moisturize her skin at the same time. Decadent!
Gifts up to $100
- Spa mats - Mom can turn her own bathtub into a personal Jacuzzi! Spa mats fit into almost any tub, and produce soothing jets and bubble massage to relax tense muscles. Some models come with foot rollers to massage Mom’s feet too!
- Sound machine - Just like certain smells affect mood, so do certain sounds. These spa gifts sooth with relaxing ocean, rain and forest sounds. Different machines have different settings, allowing Mom to choose the sounds she finds most relaxing. Many sound machines can be set to play for specific amounts of time or can work like an alarm clock.
Gifts up to $200
- Day at the spa - Give Mom an all-out day of relaxation. Book a day at a spa that offers a variety of services including manicure, pedicure, facial, massage and any other treatments she’s interested in trying. Many spas offer meal service too, so Mom can enjoy a gourmet treat while she relaxes.
- Rent a hot tub - This is a great Mother’s Day gift for the whole family! Rent a collapsible hot tub for the week and set it up on your back deck. The whole family can enjoy the soothing bubbles and comforting heat. Just be careful - Mom might want to keep it when the week is up!
Giving your mom a spa experience doesn’t have to break the bank. Manicures and pedicures are priced very reasonably and even this small gesture will mean a lot. Don’t forget to tell her how great she looks when she get back!
