Now that it's almost Valentine's Day, there's no doubt you're starting to think of a million different things — gifts for your significant other, gifts for your kids, and what treats you want to bake in time for February 14. As moms, we have a habit of thinking of others before ourselves, and while that's certainly an admirable trait, it's definitely not the only thing that matters. We matter, too, and even if our partner is planning an extra special surprise for us on the day of love, why not also make it a day of self-love?
This year, moms should definitely consider treating themselves. We've been through a lot of the past couple of years, and that's on top of our normal day-to-day parenting lives. If we want some fancy chocolates, comfy loungewear, or yummy smelling candles, why should we wait for our partners to get them for us?
You deserve to give yourself a Valentine's Day gift this year, and if you need a few ideas on where to start, read on.
A Heart-Shaped Box of Gourmet Chocolates
$60
from
La Maison du Chocolat
Spending more than $50 on chocolate is something that most of us moms would never do — but maybe it's time to break that habit. Treat yourself to something nicer than a Hershey's bar for Valentine's Day, like this box of chocolates from La Maison du Chocolat. The heart-shaped ones are too cute!
A Heated Coffee Mug
There must be a law somewhere that all moms have to drink cold coffee, or end up microwaving it multiple times, in the morning, thanks to our busy kids — but this mug prevents that from happening. It keeps your drink hot, and you can even take it on the go.
A Barefoot Dreams Blanket
$147
from
Barefoot Dreams
Quality blankets are worth paying a little extra for, especially this one. This Barefoot Dreams blanket (which comes in an array of pretty colors) is just about as soft as it gets. It's perfect for using in bed or cuddling up with on the couch. Warning: If you buy one, you'll probably want to buy five more.
The Womanizer Pro
If you're ready to show yourself some self-love, maybe take it literally this year. The Womanizer is one of Amazon's most popular vibrators, and comes with handy features like a rechargeable battery and power cord. Plus, it's waterproof, which opens up your options for play time.
Cashmere Loungewear
$125
from
Summersalt
If all of your loungewear is starting to look a little dingy after two years of working from home and momming at the same time, why not replace it with something luxurious? Does anyone really need cashmere loungewear? No, but it's hard to argue how much you'll love it once you have it.
Miss Dior Eau de Parfum
If you want to smell pretty — whether you're going out or just staying in — this perfume is a good choice. It's described as "a dazzling bouquet of countless flowers in endless colors," that "captures the eternally optimistic essence of love."

A Wine Subscription
Good wine can be hard to find, but a wine subscription takes the guesswork out of it. Visit Winc's website to fill out a questionnaire about your preferences, and the company will send you a box of four custom-selected wines each month. If you know the wines you like, you can also select the bottles yourself.
Levain Bakery Cookies
While we're treating ourselves to yummy foods and drink this Valentine's Day, don't forget to add some of the most legendary cookies to the list. Sure, you can buy the frozen version to heat up yourself at Whole Foods, but the real thing simply doesn't compare.
A Fancy Eye Mask
If you haven't been taking time for yourself and your skin care routine on a daily basis, this purchase might just help you remember how important it is. Put this avocado oil eye mask on every night before bed and wake up with a brighter, less puffy undereye area.
Ugg Slippers
Time to get on the cozy train! Yes, you can absolutely buy slippers for $20 or less, but why should you? If you need to keep those feet warm and cozy while at home, buy yourself a pair of super soft Ugg slippers. These even have a hard sole, just in case you want to wear them to run to the mailbox.
A Towel Warmer
Here's an easy way to elevate every shower and bath you take from now on. This little contraption will warm your towels while you're washing, so when you're all done and ready to step out into the cold bathroom, you can wrap yourself up in a warm towel. It's like you're at the spa!
A Flower Subscription
Here's another gift that keeps on giving: A flower subscription. For $40 and up (depending on how big you want your bouquet to be), Bouqs will send you a beautiful arrangement every month to proudly display at home. Don't we all wish we received flowers more often?
Lush Bath Bombs
There are few things better than dropping a yummy smelling bath bomb into the tub and relaxing with a book and a glass of wine after the kids go to bed, and these Lush bath bombs are the best. Go for a curated gift box of bath bombs, like this one, or choose your own bath bombs from the many offered on the site.
The Always Pan
If you love to cook, grab this gadget that is not only pretty, it's also bound to make your life easier. Made of nonstick ceramic, it's meant to replace eight pieces of cookware you'd normally keep in your kitchen, so it can be a major space saver, too.
