It’s tough to celebrate any sort of holiday during the COVID-19 pandemic. But, regardless of the self isolation, Mother’s Day is still approaching, and many of us have moms and important women in our lives who have done a lot for us over the past 365. Given the grim air as of late, this year it feels especially important to show mom some love—which is why we’re rounding up Mother’s Day gift ideas that focus on self care and staying in.
Since everyone (and their mother) is stuck at home for the foreseeable future, certain gifts like getaways and movie tickets don’t make sense at the moment. In place, luxe beauty products and self-care essentials are just the ticket. Included in our gift guide are tools that allow your mama to unwind and focus on herself, including a gorgeous body roller, intoxicating bath salts, smell-so-good personal care products, and the next best thing to an IRL blowout. Keep scrolling to start shopping our best-of-the-best Mother’s Day gift ideas.
