Mother’s Day is right around the corner, and while your family may be pulling together their ideas to surprise you, it may be time for you to surprise yourself! If you’ve ever heard the phrase “Treat yo' self”, there’s no better time than Mother’s Day to participate.
These gift ideas are some nice-to-haves that as moms, we tend to forgo for the sake of the family and kids' needs. Last year was a difficult one for just about everyone — but especially mothers — so let’s level up the celebrations and holidays this year in honor of our hard work as moms.
Charcuterie Board
What's better than a fancy meat and cheese plate? We're seeing charcuterie boards all over restaurant menus, social media, and small group gatherings now that we can get together in small settings. But, you don't have to wait for a special get together to partake. You have a few options here.
To get a charcuterie board for your own Mother’s Day celebration for one, you can order from a local cheese shop or grocery store or you can make your own. If you have a charcuterie board like one of these, these, or this one, you can pick out your favorites without worrying if anyone else will pick over the cheese and fruit that you really want, leaving you the leftovers. Now it’s all for you.
Classic Sunglasses
Sunglasses are the perfect gift to celebrate you! Going for a classic pair like these aviators allows you to practice self-care – taking care of your eyes – all while looking gorgeous! Plus, they're one-size-fits-all and these look good on almost everyone, which is a bonus.
Already have a great collection of sunglasses? Try a new trendy pair like one of these superfun heart-shaped pair or these retro cat-eyed pair, and get out there this summer with a fresh take on a weekend necessity.
New Wine Glasses or Nice Coffee Mugs
Let’s step up our drinking this year. Perhaps you’ve been using an old water glass for your wine on the weekends, or drinking out of the same old mugs that don’t even match your house and kitchen. It’s time you drink your favorites out of something that looks nice and feels good to fill up.
These gorgeous colored Estelle wine glasses are special but still casual enough for weekly or monthly use – meaning you do not have to use them only on celebrations. For the coffee drinkers, try one of these monogrammed mugs so that everyone will know which one is only for you!
Skincare Essentials
As moms, we tend to sacrifice on a daily basis, and one way you may be sacrificing is by using subpar skincare products. Whether you're a diehard fan of a drugstore brand or love a particular formula, it’s time for all of us to pay attention to what we're putting on our faces and maybe even treat ourselves to that extra special essential.
For those who use the basics, maybe try a new nighttime products that a friend suggested or get the next level up product line with better ingredients. And, for those who already use great products, place that one item you’ve been dying to try in your cart — it’s Mother’s Day!
New Underwear and Bras
This one is a task that moms are constantly putting off. Those same undergarments we’ve had since BK (before kids) need to go! Use this time as a reminder that you deserve a great foundation to truly look your best.
If you're unsure of your correct sizing or know that your body has changed, you may want to get measured. Buying matching sets is a great way for you to see how great you look in your favorite color and style while being supported physically all day long.
Moms, take a chance and get yourself what you really want this Mother’s Day!
