5 Essentials For a Relaxing Mother's Day

What better way to appreciate Mom, than with a gift of wellness? Pamper your #1 female with self care gifts that will leave her feeling relaxed, glowing, and recharged. These ideas are all under $100, so you won't break the bank, but she won't be able to tell. Sshhh.

 

100 Mindful Prompts for Self Care & Stress Part affirmations, part meditation, part action taking, these cards are a stocking stuffer type gift for your over thinker. Prompts promote meditation on mindfulness concepts, and provide suggestions for getting out of ruts. Day and night cards offer inspirational challenges to enhance focus and promote anxiety reduction. Or choose motivation quotes for mood enhancement. The cards are small enough to take with you on the difficult days. 

Mindsight 'Peaceful Pebble' Guided Visual Meditation Tool  This can also be used day and night. Cairn pebble statue  changes colors as a visual reminder to breathe. There are 2 basic modes, 5/5 "calming breath," 4,7,8, inhale, hold, exhale. Continual use can reduce stress, enhance sleep, and increase mindfulness. Exercises do not require a phone or an app, so there are no extra charges. 

Nurture by Nature Relax and Calm Spa Kit   Get back to some traditional self care with this bath spa set. It has all of the usual suspects: lavender salts for relaxation, oat and honey soap for hypoallergenic moisturizing and cleansing, and pillow mist to guarantee sweet dreams. This ' Time to Relax' gift basket is cruelty free, vegan friendly, with natural and organic ingredients. Only the best for Mom! 

yescool Weighted Blanket for Adults  Tiny weighted beads held in place by quilting to ensure uniformity. For those seeking better sleep and relaxation, the blankets provide deep pressure simulation- creating a soothing sensation, similar to a hug. You can see how this sensory input would increase serotonin levels while decreasing cortisol levels, leading to increased  quality of sleep. Who doesn't like hugs???

NutriBullet NBR 1201 One of the best products for creating nutritious drinks, help you hit your health goals,lose weight, prevent disease, and increase nutrient intake. Extracting food makes it more readily digestible. Your body doesn't need to expend additional energy to absorb all of the healthy stuff. Unlike juicing, you are also ingesting the fiber, which we need for healthy digestion. Fiber keeps the train moving, helps with elimination. This is the exact unit that I use. It has the basic setup with 2 blades, en extractor blade, and 1 milling blade.  The milling blade is great for grinding spices, or other hard foods. I use it for grinding flaxseeds to put in my shakes. You can use if for fruit, vegetables, protein powder, or whatever you like to add.

No matter which gift you choose, Mom will be able to take great care of herself. And she will remember who made that possible.
