Mother's Day Gift Guide

Mother’s Day falls on May 9th this year. That's just around the corner! But there’s still time to get the important women in your life something special—here are a few of our suggestions.


The strikingly beautiful glycerine Heritage Soaps from Crabtree & Evelyn are handcrafted by 3rd generation soap makers in Switzerland, utilizing botanical extracts and over 10% glycerine. They work for all skin types and come in three gorgeous scents—chamomile, lime and blackcurrant. For an extra-special gift, get all three! They’re available for $7 each at crabtree-evelyn.com and at over 6,000 locations worldwide.


Being a mother is rewarding, but it can also be hard—sometimes, at the end of the day, you just need to relax with a drink and a long bath. Now you can combine the two with the Bourbon Bubbler Body Scrub from FarmHouse Fresh®. It combines coarse brown sugar, Kentucky whiskey, Vitamin E and rice bran oil to create a non-oily, non-sticky scrub with a super-sweet scent—gingersnap-pecan! Available for $32.50 at farmhousefreshgoods.com, or in fine gift shops, spas and resorts.


Give her the gift of grace—or rather, the Amazing Grace Mini Fragrance Set from Philosophy. It contains three mini products, all in the light, distinctly feminine Amazing Grace scent: shampoo, bath & shower gel, restorative hand cream and spray fragrance. Layer on the products, and skin will smell amazing and ultra-clean. Plus, since nothing in the set is over 4-oz., it’s perfect for travel! Visit philosophy.com to purchase for $35.
