Mother’s Day is right around the corner. Need some ideas? I shared several today on Fox 2 News. I’ll share the video soon. And below is more info on my recommendations….
At-Home Spa. Being a mom can be stressful! Help her unwind and de-stress with the Aveda Stress-Fix Collection proven to reduce feelings of stress and made with organic lavender. Available at aveda.com and at Aveda shops.
Aveda Stress-Fix Body Lotion, Body Creme and Soaking Salts
Youth in a Jar. Stress can also show up in the skin. Help her continue to look young with some of the best skin care money can buy. In the Kate Somerville Clinical Breakthrough Kit she’ll get two of Kate’s most high-performance products, a face moisturizer that’s like a face lift in a jar and an eye cream that addresses every concern – fine lines and wrinkles, under eye circles, darkness, puffiness and skin tone. This set is a Neiman Marcus exclusive gift set ($330 value for $250). Kate also has more gift sets at katesomerville.com and Sephora.

Jewelry and Fragrance. Combine two Mother’s Day classics – jewelry and fragrance – with these Lisa Hoffman Fragrance Jewelry. Each bracelets and necklace has a charm you fill with fragranced beads so perfume never touches the skin – great for sensitive women with fragrance allergies. There are six bracelets to choose from (green and red jade and wood shown below). The bracelets are $65 and you can get a matching necklace for free now through May 12 at lisahoffmanbeauty.com with the code LOVEMOM.

Vacation Value Set. Most of us don’t want to look pasty when vacationing in a warm climate where everyone is looking nice and sunkissed. Help her fit in with the Sephora Escape to Rio Getaway Essentials Kit. It features bronzing mist for body and powder bronzer for face, and summery nail polishes and eye pencils. And it’s a great value with $63 worth of products for $39.50. Available at Sephora.

Tote Essentials in Style. Mom, can you carry this? Moms are always hauling stuff around. Help her tote all that stuff in style with the Vince Camuto Owen Tote ($228) – a gorgeous bag with clean lines and supple leather, big enough to carry a lot but not so big to give her a sore shoulder. And the price won’t break the bank like some handbags do. Available at Nordstrom, Dillards and Macys.

Terrific Tools Value Set. Help mom apply her makeup like a pro with the limited edition Sephora Carnavale Brush Clutch. It features five super-soft, full-size brushes for eyes and cheeks in a travel-friendly clutch made with cork. The brushes are cruelty-free and not tested on animals. The set is a $68 value for $48. Available at Sephora.

Healthy Hair. As we get older, hair tends to get drier and more brittle. Moroccanoil, made with nourishing argan oil, has some limited-edition Mother’s Day Gift Sets with an assortment of products to help her have beautiful, healthy hair and she gets a great travel bag she can use for spring and summer travel. Available at moroccanoil.com and Nordstrom.

Fresh Fragrance. Fragrance is a popular gift for Mother’s Day. Give her something light and fresh for warmer weather. I love these fruit and citrus scents from Jo Malone: Nectarine Blossom & Honey, Grapefruit and Earl Grey & Cucumber. They’re simple but still sophisticated (e.g., the Grapefruit cologne is mixed with rosemary and peppermint) without being overpowering – ideal when weather is warm. Available at jomalone.com and Saks.

Happy Mother’s Day!
