This Mother’s Day (May 12), honor mom with memorable experiences. Splurge on lavish gifts and make her feel special. She deserves it. Here are a few suggestions:
BEAUTIQUE
Gift mom with a retreat experience, where she can take the time to relax and embrace the benefits of a spa massage. Mom can soak in a nurturing mud bath; a mud wrap or mask treatment stimulates while it rejuvenates skin cells.
Get a Mother & Daughter complimentary mini facial & makeup application at Peabody — Macy’s Impulse Beauty on Saturday, May 11th, from 11 — 4 p.m., call for appointment, 978-531-3800 x2466.
A jade roller massages the face, eyes, and temples, which improves skin elasticity and helps to firm, brighten and relieve tension around the eyes, nose and cheeks. Cooling the jade will promote circulation, blood flow and boost collagen to reduce puffiness. Extra cooling helps stop headaches, reduces toxins and benefits sinus control.
Complete the spa treatment with an intoxifying hand massage, manicure and pedicure. Nail it down with a bold nail polish.
SELF-CARE
Staying fit is challenging. Surprise mom with a gym membership or invest in dumbbell weights she can use at home. Light weights help sculpt the body, and repetition achieves the defined physique. Self-care is important. Encourage mom to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
STYLE
Hey dads, for many moms the ultimate Mother’s Day gifts are shoes and handbags by top designers. Louboutin’s “red bottoms” are most-desired shoes. A well-made Italian leather handbag will last. She will feel pretty, confident and feminine in elegant soft lace, intimate apparel that is sexy and incredibly comfy under stylish clothing.
BOOKS
Knowledge is powerful. “Essentialism” by Greg McKeown describes a lifestyle of living not by default but by design, that rather than simply reacting to events and making choices by default an Essentialist will be disciplined and systematic in creating a lifestyle and making decisions to help determine what’s really important.
DÉCOR
Cater to mom’s sense of style. Paintings and wall coverings brighten up any space; bold art works with a modern contemporary design. Even a small thing like styling up your sofa, chair and bed with textured throw pillows can change things up.
