Self-care can end up on the back burner for moms on the go, but these gifts are reminders for her to make time for wellness.

Moms are the true embodiment of ‘non-stop’ because the work never ends. They can’t forfeit their responsibilities, but they can be intentional about creating time for rest and self-care. This could mean waking up five minutes earlier and listening to a meditation playlist or creating a spa at home because there isn’t enough time to go to one. 

Depression and anxiety during pregnancy and after birth are common occurrences for women with 1 in 8 experiencing postpartum depression. If you know a mom (new or a veteran in the game) who is perpetually tired or feeling like she’s losing herself, she may appreciate a Mother’s Day gift that reminds her to prioritize self-care. 

Mothers are supernatural beings who nurture and care for others every day, so they deserve the same care in return.
