I know that the days have been blurring together lately, but Mother’s Day is May 10th. Don’t forget! As your life stylist, I have some cool gift ideas for that special mom, ma, mummy, mumsy, or whatever you call the special women in your life. Ha!
Okay, family and friends listen up…here are some heartfelt ways to celebrate:
- Watch your mother’s favorite romantic comedy like Notting Hill (my favorite!) or series (maybe All American on Netflix?) together or digitally over Zoom or FaceTime.
- Cook a family dinner, set the table, AND clean all the dishes (anyone would love this!). Or, if you’re apart have a meal delivered to her home.
- Change all the sheets on the beds and do the laundry and folding (boy, I could need some help with this!).
- Buy her a great shampoo because we all know our moms have been taking extra special self-care time during this pandemic. The shampoo I’ve been loving is called G. Tox Himalayan Salt Scrub Scalp Shampoo by goop Beauty. I haven’t confided in my hairstylist if this is appropriate for my hair but it definitely makes my hair shine and not look drab since I haven’t had a hair appointment since March 13th!
- Because of all of the extra hand-washing and Purell use, buy her a nice cuticle oil. The one I like is called The Celery Oil by Tenoverten. Tie this gift with a celery stalk for a cool presentation (I put this oil by my bed and put it on before sleep time!).
And last but not least, massage your Mom’s feet (if she likes her feet touched because I do!). Or, get her a gift certificate for a foot massage that she can cash in later. Why not throw in a pedicure too? Oh, and a gift certificate to Pure Barre. Hehe!
Okay, kids, now you know what to give Mom for Mother’s Day! Ha!
