Self-care isn't just something that moms can do themselves. It can be gifted to them, too, if the mom friends in one's life are into beauty and wellness. If that's the case, we think they'll appreciate one of the gifts we've curated, including a refreshing face mask, hydrating skin care, a matcha kit, or other the salad bowl of her dreams.
All of these gifts in one way or another will have moms feeling like they're treating themselves and enhancing their life, whether their "thing" is meditation, fitness, or just being cozy at home. Kids may benefit, too, by default (yes, there's a honey set in there and perhaps mama will share, but we'll let her decide). Happy gifting!
Summer Fridays Jet Lag Mask
$49
from
Summer Fridays
Whether the mom is a traveler or not, she will reap the benefits of this cult favorite face mask from Summer Fridays. It's called the Jet Lag mask but it could very well also be called the "refresh" mask or the "haven't sleep at all" mask. According to the brand, the "fragrance-free formula helps nourish, hydrate and calm with niacinamide, glycerin, hyaluronic acid, and antioxidants."
Laneige Hydrate & Snooze Set
Speaking of hydration, few brands do it better than Laneige. Luckily for us, and the mom friends we need to get gifts for, the brand put its best and most hydrating products in one gift set, including the overnight lip mask for soft, hydrated lips, the Water Sleeping Mask to wake up with fresh and supple skin, and the Water Bank Moisturizer for daytime.
Revlon One-Step Styler
One of the nicest gifts a mom could receive would be the time to actually do her hair. Dare we say, blow it out? It's possible with the Revlon One-Step Hair Dryer Volumizer Brush that not only leaves hair blown out, but also gets the job done insanely quickly. It's easy to use and on sale during the holiday season.
Hey Dewy Humidifier
This writer was gifted one of these Hey Dewy humidifiers and it truly is just as amazing as it looks. It's a small night-stand or desk-size portable (aka wireless) humidifier that provides much more breathable air and even the added benefit of moisture for dry skin. It's great for moms who need to take the humidifier into multiple rooms, for themselves or their kids.
Brazilian Bum Bum Cream
$48
from
Sol De Janeiro
There are lots of body lotions and creams out there, but this one is on the top of our list and other beauty junkies' lists. The Sol De Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Cream, which is available in multiple scents, not only smells incredible, but is a cream so luxuriously thick it leaves skin hydrated and soft for days and will transport mom (mentally) to an island.
Satin Pillowcase
Satin pillowcases are a sleep must-have. They cool you down by the nature of the fabric and have benefits for the skin and hair. If your mom friend is into anti-aging products, they'll love that a satin pillowcase won't tug at the delicate skin while they sleep, potentially helping reduce wrinkling. A satin pillowcase may also help prevent hair breakage.
Sulwhasoo Bestsellers Trial Kit
Sulwhasoo has some of the most luxurious skincare products out there, and they're favorites among many beauty gurus. This mini bestsellers kit is perfect for anyone who wants to amp up their skincare routine. The kit comes with the Gentle Cleansing Foam, First Care Activating Serum, Essential Balancing Water, and Concentrated Ginseng Renewing Cream.
Dazzle Dry Mini Manicure Kit
Taking an hour or two to get even a quick manicure isn't always easy or possible for moms. If she's keen on doing her own nails, make the process quicker and easier with a set she can whip out while the kids are napping. The Dazzle Dry Mini Kit comes with a nail prep bottle, a base coat, the polish color, and the top coat.
Athleta Yoga Pants
Moms in yoga pants is a stereotype that we're willing to lean into. They're obviously great for working out and who doesn't love being gifted workout 'fits? But yoga pants are also comfortable when it comes to chasing children and such. We like these from Athleta as they have "cargo" style pockets to keep things like a phone, keys, or other items nearby.
Kiehl's Skin Care Discovery Gift Set
Kiehl's is a skin care brand that many love, and the brand has a diverse range of products. If your mama BFF is struggling to start a new skin care routine but doesn't know where to start, then this gift set could help her on her path. It comes with the essentials: face wash, vitamin C concentrate, moisturizer, eye cream, and night oil.
Bala Bangles
For the mamas who do like to work out and may not have the time to make it to the gym for the heavy weights, they can still get some resistance in their day-to-day activities with these wrist and angle weights from Bala Bangles. They're adjustable and each bangle weighs 1 pound. There are four fun colors to choose from, including pink.
'How We Heal: Uncover Your Power & Set Yourself Free' by Alexandra Elle

The book also contains "themes like self-healing, mindfulness, inner child work, and boundary setting and presents the reader with easy-to-follow practices that have changed her life."
Brooklinen Joggers
$60
from
Brooklinen
Yoga pants are comfy but nothing beats regular sweatpants, but just because they're the OG of comfort pants doesn't mean they can't be fashionable. We love this gray pair of joggers from Brooklinen, which we have no doubt are incredibly comfortable if they're as soft as the brand's sheets and pillowcases.
Hum Nutrition Vitamins
$12
from
Hum Nutrition
Seasonal affective disorder is real, and is likely setting in for many moms this time of year as the weather gets cooler and the sun goes down earlier. There are other ways to get some vitamin D back in your friend's system and that's through supplements. This writer really enjoys the ones from Hum Nutrition, which makes a vitamin D supplement.
One Line a Day Journal
$18
from
Free People
Journaling can be so therapeutic for some, be it the act of writing or just getting thoughts on paper. This Free People "One Line a Day Journal" will make actually sticking to journaling a little easier, as it has just a few lines for each day to take some of the pressure off. Making it easier also means we're more likely to make it a daily habit. The format lends itself to being able to reflect on those thoughts later and see how far we've come over a year's time.
Candy Cane Shea Sugar Exfoliating Body Scrub
Body scrubs have a way of making a shower or bath feel that much more luxurious. It's a small but mighty tool for beauty self-care that a mom can easily, and quickly, fit into her bathing routine and be left with soft and amazing-smelling skin. People really enjoy the scrubs from the Tree Hut brand, especially this seasonal scent.
Onyx Salad Bowl Kit
This isn't just any ole salad bowl. This is an all-in-one salad bowl kit that creates an experience out of lunchtime. Features include the bowl, condiment container, and a removable tray to store toppings. The container is leakproof, BPA and BPS-free, and made with "durable stone-like texture for added grip."

For mamas who love matcha but want to save some time and money that going to a coffee shop requires, this make-your-own matcha starter kit is where it's at. The gift will come with one stainless steel straw pack, one cold brew mason jar, one milk frother, and your choice of Chamberlain Coffee matcha in original, mango, vanilla, or chocolate flavor.

$55.52

Saratoga Tea & Honey Sweater Weather Honey Gift Set
$28
from
Saratoga Tea and Honey
Honey in tea is that extra bit of oomph to make the drink even more delicious. And this writer tasted the best honey she ever had when she visited the Saratoga Tea and Honey store and tried the different honey flavors (including pumpkin spice, cinnamon, and chocolate). They're just delicious and the best part: not just for tea. Mamas can use it to ramp up theirs or their kids' oatmeal or toast.

If you know a mom who loves playing with colorful eyeshadow, this is the perfect gift for her. This one-of-a-kind eyeshadow palette is a collaboration between Urban Decay and artist Robin Eisenberg, and it features 12 gorgeous eyeshadows that are highly pigmented and come in a variety of finishes.
Shoppe Geo Meditation Stones
$20
from
Free People
Mamas who love to meditate, or want to get more into the practice to relax, will find these meditation stones to be good tools to use. Each stone can represents a hope or feeling and can become a good focus point during meditation. Crystals are also not a bad thing for a mom to have around to help channel positive calming energy should she subscribe to that belief.

Candles can smell amazing, and this Evening Unwind candle from Homesick was made with the goal of emitting a relaxing scent to enjoy. The top notes are Valencia orange and green tea leaf.
Sala Sampler Tea Box
Tea tastes good, which is an act of self-care by just drinking it, and some teas offer potential health benefits.
