A mother's love is the fuel that enables a normal human being to do the impossible. Mothers are truly something special, and on May 9th, Mother's Day again brings the opportunity to stop and say thanks to our moms.
Showing your appreciation with a beautiful bouquet of flowers or a rejuvenating day at the spa are always great ways to go. Another option you may consider is a gift that nurtures her health. Think about all the times she took care of your health. Probably more times than you know! So, with that in mind, here are some gift ideas that I think most mothers would truly appreciate.
I've always thought that the celebration of motherhood should happen even before the child is born. That may be just my opinion, but I suspect that most pregnant women would agree. A great gift idea for someone with a little bun in the oven might be to put together a basket of items you need only during pregnancy, such as prenatal vitamins, a morning sickness remedy, a good omega-3 / DHA supplement, a cream for reducing pregnant belly stretch marks and a favorite healthy snack for late night cravings. This is the kind of gift that says you care and want her to feel pampered.
New Chapter has one of our most popular prenatal vitamins, Perfect Prenatal. New Chapter is a great company with a strong dedication to Mother Earth, so it's only fitting to consider that brand for a new mom. They also make a pure fish oil product called Wholemega Prenatal. Fish oil is something that studies show to be very beneficial to pregnant mothers and developing babies. In addition, we carry several things for morning sickness, products that are helpful right after the baby is born, outrageous snacks, amazing creams and lotions to take care of her skin during pregnancy and so much more. In fact, we carry just about everything you can imagine to put into basket to pamper a soon-to-be mom. Just ask and we'll be happy to help you.
Of course, once the baby is born, mom deserves to be pampered and taken care of, too, so she can keep up with the daily job of mothering. Not that being a mother isn't wonderful, because it is, but let's face it: It can be like running a marathon in high heels! So, keeping that in mind, you could come up with all kinds of healthy gifts for her. Again, you can find things all over the store that she will adore. In the Vitamin Department, you'll find gifts to keep her strong, healthy and resilient. We carry some great multivitamins such as New Chapter's Womens Multivitamins, Garden of Life's Women's Raw One-a-Day and Vitamin Code, and Megafood Women's One-a-Day. Any of these would make a great gift!
In addition to a multivitamin, we also carry stress formulas to help her stay calm, protein powders to help her keep up her endurance, calcium to keep her bones strong, greens to keep her healthy and Omega-3 oils to keep her brain firing on all cylinders. You could even make a great basket for her with several supplements, some exotic lotions from the Health and Beauty Department, some wonderful jewelry from the Clothing Department, a bottle of wine and a few delicious truffles from the Deli. What Mom wouldn't love that? I know I would. (Hint, Hint).
Have a great Mother's Day!
