Perhaps Mother’s Day gift ideas for self-care are one of the most popular topics these days … and it’s a given. What mother wouldn’t like a little bit of pampering after all the hardwork she’s doing for others?
So if you’re a mom, way to go! You sure deserve all the pampering in the world! And … if you are not a mom (but think that your mom is deserving of special treatment), go ahead and let her know how you feel. Moms are great at taking care of us but usually put their well-being on the back burner. Perhaps you’re planning a little surprise travel, or maybe a thoughtful gift …
Whatever you’re planning for your mom, we bet it’s something that she really deserves because being a mom is probably the hardest job you could ever imagine.
What Does Being A Mom Really Mean?
Being a mom is no easy task. We have heard a lot of moms say that. Once you become a mom, you’re forever tied to being one – you will stay being a mom, whether you like it or not. From the time that little baby is born, you will be the primary caretaker … and until that baby grows, you will bet there every step of the way.
But is it worth it?
Most moms say yes. And we agree. Because being a mom is not only about giving birth. It is a special vocation that involves both sacrifice and fulfillment.
Here’s a snippet from a very touching post from Jessica James of Huffington Post on what being a mom really means:
“Being a mom means more than having given birth to a child. It’s loving and knowing a soul before you even see it. It’s carrying and caring for a life completely dependent on you for survival. It’s giving air to the lungs that grew within you, and sight to the eyes that will never see you as anything but mommy. … It’s letting them go, letting them fail and teaching them how to get back up. It’s going without so that they don’t have to, and being okay with it.”
Self-Care Gift Ideas for Mom
Whether you call her Mom, Mommy, or Mama, your mom deserves something special for Mother’s Day. And since moms are usually busy taking care of others, they sometimes forget to take care of themselves. As sons and daughters, it would be a very sweet gesture to give our moms gifts that will help them take care of themselves.
But do you know what moms really want for Mother’s Day?
The Super Mom Life put a funny spin on what mother’s really want for Mother’s Day. Well, it may be funny but we believe there’s A LOT of truth to it.
Here are they:

- A Handmade Card
- Control of the TV
We bet all moms can relate.
