The countdown to Mother’s Day 2022 is on and no doubt, you have a jam-packed schedule like me? So that is why I have created my top 9 favourite self-care gifts that your Mum, or influential woman, will love to receive on Mother’s Day.
What better way to show your appreciation than with a hand-picked selfcare gift….’cos we all need a bit of that!
The benefits & importance of practicing self-care [For all of us]
Self care is so important for all of us! You’re always so busy tending to and taking care of your family that sometimes you forget about someone super important; YOU! [or in this case, Mum]
A Self-Care Gift to Yourself this Mother’s Day
A reminder that you need to take time out for yourself should be a priority and devoting time to taking care of your needs, your mental health, your body, your mind…the list goes on and on. The point is, you can’t take care of your family if you’re neglecting and not taking care of yourself. It is not healthy for you or for those around you. Developing a self care routine is so vital to your overall well being. It is an essential part of maintaining your mental health as well.
Ultimate self-care gift alert!
I don’t know a Mum out there that would not enjoy relaxing with a well thought out gift that allows them to take a little time for themselves. Sometimes we need a steer in the right direction as we, as women, do have a tendency to put others first.
Let me help get your self-care thoughts going on how you can treat your Mum this Mother’s Day so she can recharge and give herself a big dose of self-love!
9 Selfcare Mother’s Day Gift Ideas your Mum will LOVE!
Now onto the fun part…
1. Personalised Journal
This is usually for wellness coaches, but I LOVE it! It’s something different and you can personalise it for Mum with family photos or images of things that are close to her.
Once you’ve finished the design, send it to an online printer such as Instant Print to have it printed. Psst, you’ll need a Canva account
2. Spa Day
Who doesn’t love a Spa day – the ultimate in self-care and some well-deserved and indulgent ‘me time’…or Mum time. Why not make a day of it and go with her for some quality ‘girlie catch-up time? What’s more, research shows the positive impact of a Spa day on your mental health.
Check out our 5 Elements Spa Days based around the Ancient Chinese Belief of the 5 natural elements – fire, earth, water, metal or wood.
3. Yoga or meditation retreat
At Book Retreats there is literally a wellness retreat for every perceivable requirement. From 2 to 6 days, all you need to do is set your budget, decide how long for and pick the best one!
4. Thai Hot Herbal Compress Massage
The team have all finished their training for our new massage treatment. I have to admit, it’s soooo amazing! The smell of the 11 herbs and the heat from the herbal massage ball allows your therapist to get nice and deep into any stubborn knots but without the pain levels you may experience in a deep tissue massage.
5. Electronic Oil diffuser & dOterra Essential Oil Introductory Kit
I LOVE my diffusers. I have a few around the house. There are different oils to help with relaxation, lavender being a great one, but I tend to sniff my way through my essential oil collection and go for the smell resonating with me at that time.
6. Spring Dew Facial
Step into Spring with a glow! Like the seasons, our skin changes and therefore so should what we put on it!
Our Spring Dew facial has been designed to help your skin adapt to the changes in the climate.
This glow-inducing Spring facial is designed to reveal fresh, youthful skin without causing redness or irritation. The radiance-enhancing protocol consists of two enzyme peels as well as free-radical fighting antioxidants to reduce dullness and give skin an immediately brighter and more even-toned complexion.
WHO’S IT FOR:
Hyperpigmentation
Sun Damage
Acne Scars,
Age Spots,
Uneven Skin Tone
BENEFITS:
After just one treatment, your skin is glowing, more even, and smooth.
What perfect timing, as you can treat Mum to a relaxing facial leaving her with rejuvenated skin ready to welcome in the days as they warm up.

7. National Trust Membership and get to sample Forest Bathing
Being out in nature is super good for your mind, body and soul. Sign Mum up for a National Trust Membership and book her on a Forest Bathing Experience. Why? Because scientific studies show that after only two hours of mindful exploration in a forest can reduce blood pressure, lower cortisol levels (think stress) and improve concentration and memory. There’s more, but I’ll let you follow the link and read on…
8. Spa Gift Voucher
For those who know Mum loves to indulge in a bit of a spa experience, but changes her mind like the wind on what treatment she wants.
Massage? Facial? Course of facials? Keep your stress levels down by opting for a Spa Voucher rather than second guessing what she wants!
9. Wellness Retreat – Check out Time Out’s Top Ten Wellness retreats
Taking care of body and mind is all sorts of important in the chaos of the modern world. What better way to treat Mum than by stripping it all back and letting her choose from some of the best wellbeing breaks and retreats in the UK?
So that’s it from me on some of my favourite self-care options not just for me, but for you and your Mum, or any special woman in your life.
Which are your favourite options?
Whilst we can’t help you book a retreat OR purchase your favourite dOterra oils, team Bodhi can certainly help book in a Spa Day, Thai Herbal Compress massage or other Spa treatment, purchase a gift card or make-up a Self-care home Spa gift set for your Mum.
