Mother's Day gift ideas.
Mom has always been there for you, and while you may not have appreciated her attention when she loudly cheered from the sidelines of your game-airhorn included-or took hundreds of pictures before prom, you don't know what you'd do without her. Maybe the mom in your life was a cool aunt, a grandma who was always there for you, your best friend's mom who took you under her wing, or a coworker who showed you the ropes at your first job. Whoever your mom is, she deserves to be celebrated at least once a year.
Moms give every day to their families, so give the mothers and mother figures in your life a day that's just their own with these gift ideas! From the simple to the indulgent, there's something for any situation and any mom. These gifts don't just offer something for your mom; they give you the opportunity to bond by showing her how much you appreciate her after all this time.
1. Pampering Basket:
Let's face it, Mom is always taking care of everyone else. She deserves a gift that encourages her to take some time for herself. Young Living has some great products to choose from so you can put together and awesome pampering basket for her. Here are some great options.
Bath Bombs- Come in Lavender or Stress Away. These are very relaxing, and they make a great little get-away.
Shower Steamers- Come in Easy Breeze Awakening for those mornings when mom just needs a bit of a pick-me-up to get going.
Shower & Bath Gels- These come in several different scents. If you would like something relaxing for her, I would suggest Lavender, Evening Peace, or the Unscented Base so she can add her own scent to it.
Lip Balms: These are petroleum free and come in Lavender, Grapefruit, and Cinnamint. Can't decide? Check out the trio.
Satin Facial Scrub-mint- This is a gentle exfoliating scrub, and it feels so refreshing.
Lavender Hand & Body Lotion- This is a non-greasy formula that leaves her skin feeling soft, smooth, and moisturized.
Coconut-Lime Replenishing Body Butter- Has a really nice scent, but even better than that, it will leave her skin feeling silky soft.
Any of these items would be great in a basket created for pampering mom. A few more items you could add to it are a nail care kit, bath pillow, eye mask, and even a jar of DIY bath salts. Here is a recipe for you to try.

2. Breakfast in bed:
Remember all the times Mom prepped breakfast before your early morning game or whipped up a brunch buffet for your birthday sleepover? There's no way to repay her for years of tasty meals made with love, but a surprise breakfast in bed can't hurt.
Plan a meal that includes goodies Mom would want on her special day, whether it's light and healthy or rich and indulgent. Try not to burn anything-though you know she'll forgive you if you do-and don't forget a few fresh flowers on the tray!
If breakfast in bed won't work, you could take her out for breakfast, lunch or dinner. There is really nothing she would like more than time with you.
3. Home diffuser with essential oils:
A new diffuser is always a treat, even if she already has one! This is an easy way to bring the power of essential oils into Mom's space. She will love having multiple diffusers. She may even want one in her bedroom, living room, and home office. Make the gift extra special with homemade blends personalized to include her favorite scents or gift her some of Young Living's signature blends.
No matter what you mom figure has going on, there's an essential oil for that. Know a stressed-out soccer mom running to practice, games, and the sporting goods store? Share Stress Away! Have a business mogul mom putting in long hours at the office? Gift her AromaEase to create a calming and soothing environment. Need a gift for the social butterfly who goes out more often than you ever could? Give Joy to create the positive and energetic scent of joy! Is her home's energy influence by a yogini who's willing to bend over backward for your family? The aroma of Harmony can help her maintain her Zen-and her lotus position.
4. DIY personalized perfume:
Give the gift of a custom signature scent that will have Mom feeling luxurious and smelling amazing. Try out one, or more, of these Patchouli essential oil perfume recipes from the Young Living blog to give Mom a signature scent that channels vibes that are cool and collected, radiant and beautiful.
5. Mani/Pedi:
Is Mom the type that is not going to use that home pampering kit because she will not find the time to do it as long as she's home and there's something else to do? Maybe a gift certificate to go out for a mani/pedi would better for her. Want to make it even more special? Take her out and get a mani/pedi together. Not to sound like a broken record, but there is nothing she wants more than time with you.
6. Massage Gift Certificate:
Give Mom the gift of relaxation with a gift certificate for a massage. Let her step away from the outside world and just concentrate on her well-being for 60-90 minutes.
Whatever you decide to do to celebrate the mom in your life, the most important thing is that she knows how much you love her and that you recognize everything she's done for you. Whether it's a grand gesture or a handcrafted DIY gift, when it comes to moms, it's all about the love and time together.
