Mother’s Day is that time of the year where we get the chance to honor the special women in our lives. There is nothing like having an incredible mother who raises you to become the person you are today.
Being a mother is hard work, a lot of sacrifices, and selfless acts that women endure every day. Raising children is by far one of the hardest jobs that one could ever have. Mothers do so much and ask for so little in return.
So, what better way to show your appreciation for how spectacular she is by giving her the perfect gift of self-care and wellness on Mother’s Day? Self-care is being able to take the time to relax, taking care of oneself, and spiritually and mentally calming the mind. Also, this includes being able to enjoy herself by having a spa day right at home. These are the types of gifts included in this post that I have researched, received, and use for my own self-care and wellness.
Not Just for Mother’s Day
Yes in this post I am talking about things to do for her on Mother’s day. But It doesn’t have to be something that’s just prepared for Mother’s Day, you can make her feel special every day.
Of course, tell your mother you love her. Treat her out to nice lunches and dinners sometimes throughout the year. However, on Mother’s Day, you should make a BIG deal and go all out for her. Even if you feel like she has everything, it’s always something that she could use to make her days better and brighter. That’s why I have this list of self-care and wellness products that will help every mom to unwind and get some peace of mind.
Self-care items are some of the best gifts to give her for Mother’s Day. With that being said, this post is not exclusive to just Mother’s Day. This post can be referenced any time of the year for Birthdays, Christmas, or ANY time of the year.

1. Handheld Deep Tissue Massager
Let’s face it, due to spas having to be closed down because of COVID, we have been suffering without being able to get a good massage from a therapist on a regular basis. That’s why gifting this beautiful Mighty Bliss Deep Tissue Back and Body Massager to your mom or any mother would be an excellent gift. This could also help give them some relief from all the tension that’s built up from working or running around with the kids day after day.
I love to have a good hand massager that I can just grab at any time to provide that instant pain relief. And this one pictured above is cordless, so you don’t have to hassle with it being plugged into the wall while using it. This would be the perfect gift that keeps on giving for years to come.
2. Foot Massager
Get her the gift of a good massager. What mom wouldn’t love to have a foot massager. It’s a perfect wellness gift to help them relax their tired feet after a long day. It’s like having a spa right at home. She could pour herself a glass of wine and sit back and relax while getting a great massage.
In addition, this foot massager can be used on the feet, ankles, and legs. Plus, it comes with 3 distinct settings from soft to intense, and 5 different modes from Heat Therapy to Compression therapy. It has a kneading technology that is great for circulating blood flow and muscle recovery. Excellent choice for any mom in your life.
3. Scented Candles
So while mom is in bliss by using her new massage gadgets, she could also light a candle. Yankee Candle has been amongst the top scented candles on the market for a long time. They are popular for their enormous variety of fragrances and the wax coming in these beautiful glass jars.
Mom can light a candle, and fill the room with the sweet aromas and be in tranquil bliss. This could be very calming to smell these aromas while relaxing. Plus it makes the house smell wonderful.
4. Diffuser
Hey, my friends, the Ultimate Aromatherapy Diffuser & Essential Oil Set is an awesome gift for mothers to enjoy the aromas of different varieties of essential oils. Since I’ve started using essential oils, I fell in love with them. I wanted to try different ways to take advantage of its essence and scents, so that’s why I decided to buy a diffuser.
Not to mention, but the oils have so many health benefits and are great for wellness. It’s a part of holistic living by using pure and natural oils that are derived from plants. My favorite oils to diffuse are Lavender to help relax at night before bed. Lemon and Lemongrass for waking up in the morning.
This diffuser uses water, ultrasonic waves dispersing the oil into a fine mist in the air. It also has 7 mood lights with 14 contrasting light combinations.
5. Bathroom Tray Caddy
A Bamboo Bathtub Caddy Tray is used in the bath to store items like soap, wine, or a speaker. It’s ideal to have for those women that like to take a nice long relaxing bath while maybe reading a book or sipping on some wine. This is a nice gift for mom so she can get some me-time while soaking in the tub. This caddy is luxurious and fits most bathtubs by extending out to 43 inches.
Furthermore, there are these slots on the caddy that can hold a book or tablet. Also, slots engraved to hold a candle or glass of wine and even a secure slot for your cell phone. How awesome is that? Having this caddy will be the ultimate upscale bath experience right there in the home. Perfect gift for her on Mother’s Day.
6. Marc Jacobs Daisy 4-Piece Mini Gift Set
Give the gift of Marc Jacobs sensual perfume. This 4-piece Daisy Mini gift set will be perfect for mom. This will give them a variety of different scents in a smaller bottle so they can switch up the scents more frequently. Since it’s a sample size, if mom likes one scent over the other then she could purchase the bigger bottle later with the advantage of knowing that she already likes that particular scent.
All in all, I have tried a few of the Daisy scents and it smells so good. The bottles are pretty too with the top formed in the shape of a daisy. You can’t go wrong with a gift of delightful smelling perfume for her.
7. Rabbit Bunny Jewelry Ring Holder
Aren’t these the cutest Bunny Rabbit figurines you’ve ever seen? I’m sure that mom would love this Ceramic Rabbit Bunny Ring Holder. She could put this by her nightstand to keep her wedding rings on to prevent misplacing them. It’ll help keep the rings in safekeeping too.

8. Humidifier
Having a humidifier in the home will give mom so many benefits. Gifting her an ultrasonic humidifier will help with health issues like sinus congestion. It also helps regulate the humidity in the home to ensure an accurate balance for clean, crisp, fresh air. A humidifier in the bedroom will help her have a more peaceful sleep by misting cool or warm air into the room.
Plus, it’s excellent for hydrating the skin and hair, especially during the winter season when the heat is running in the home. During the winter, the cold air outside tends to dry our skin and hair out, but the humidifier can help her nourish her skin while at home.

I love using this Echo Dot Smart Speaker with Alexa. It has voice control and it is very useful while you are busy doing chores like washing the dishes or cooking dinner. I like to listen to music to keep me going while doing chores and of course my hands are usually full of dish soap or chicken.

It comes in a variety of colors and is so cute and compact in size too that it can fit in some of the highest of spaces. She can practically put it anywhere without worries of being too much in the way.
Another benefit is if she decides to have more than one, then she can synchronize the music to play in multiple rooms. It also does other commands like checking the weather, read the news, set timers, etc. An excellent gift for mom and the whole family too.
