Gifts for Mother's Day


Mother's Day is coming, so I want to share some gift ideas with Alyssa and Ben all of my readers, because I just like to be helpful like that. So without further ado, here are the gift ideas:


If your mom just happens to be into photography ( A lot of moms are, you know! Not just me!), a really good gift would be this awesome lens. It's perfect for shooters looking for one lens to tackle nearly all subjects they're likely to encounter. Of course, it's a lot more expensive than, say, a box of chocolates.

Canon EF-S 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 IS

Okay, not gonna happen. You can't blame a mom for trying. Let's look at some gifts that are more, shall we say, affordable.



Now here are some nice products from The Body Shop. 

The Body Shop is a great source for all-natural products that make Mom feel pampered and wonderful. They are having some really good sales right now, so jump right on it. Here are some of the things I really like.
I've used this and it is very soothing after a long day on my feet.

The Body Shop: Peppermint Cooling Pumice Foot Scrub


Another product I like is their White Musk line. I'm not a floral scented kind of gal, and this musky scent is delicious.

The Body Shop: White Musk Libertine Shower, Moisture, and Spritz Set
 
I haven't tried this Africa Honey & Beeswax Hand and Foot Butter, but it sounds perfect. It is made for all skin types, but is especially good for dry-skinned people like me. If you saw my skin, you'd know what I mean. If I go a single day without lotion, it looks like I have reptile skin! This is a product  your mom (especially if your name is Ben or Alyssa) would love to try.

Spa Wisdom™ Africa Honey & Beeswax Hand and Foot Butter

Even though I'm not a floral kind of gal, I am definitely a lover of citrus, and this gift set would make me very happy (you do read my blog, right kids?).

Sweet Lemon Shower, Scrub & Soften Luxury Gift

The lemon gift pack includes: Shower Gel, Body Butter,  Soap, and Body Scrub. Mmmm. I love lemon!

I understand that some moms like food.

And more food. Because, truthfully, moms like food.

Well, there you go. Speaking as a professional mom and grandma, any of these gifts would be greatly appreciated by a mom. Maybe your mom. Definitely Ben and Alyssa's mom.
