This Mother’s Day, take some time to give back to the mothers, grandmothers, aunts, and family friends who helped get you to where you are. We’ve curated a list of our favorite wellness-focused gifts that will fit any lifestyle and budget.
Strala Yoga
Yoga is the ultimate wellness tool, as it acknowledges that the body and mind are interconnected. Tara Stiles has been heralded as a “yoga rebel,” for over a decade, for her inclusive, no-nonsense approach to the practice. Strala Yoga incorporates the wisdom of Tai Chi with the poses of traditional yoga to create an accessible practice that focuses on ease. With their new Strala Online program, you can have access to daily live streamed classes, as well as the backlog of all past classes for $20 a month. This is a perfect gift for both yoga newbies and the accomplished yogi.
Purple Carrot
With meal delivery kits everywhere these days, it can be difficult to determine which one is right for you. We’re big fans of the colorful, plant-based meals offered by Purple Carrot. With weekly subscriptions starting at $50 for three meals, this is a great gift option for anyone looking to expand their palate, all while adding more whole plant foods to their diet.
CSA Subscription
If following a meal plan isn’t the right fit, consider purchasing a CSA box subscription for the mother in your life. CSA, or Community Supported Agriculture, is a business model where you pay a farmer a monthly fee in exchange for a box full of fresh, seasonal produce. This is a great way to support your local community, as well as learn about the variety of plants growing around you.
Buy Them A Class
Has your mother figure ever wanted to learn a new skill? Maybe they’ve always wanted to swing dance or ice skate or try aerial yoga. For a fun experience you will both remember, take them to a class where you can both learn something new. In addition to a great workout, you’ll make lasting memories. You may even find your new favorite hobby!
Personal Trainer
If your mother is looking to take her fitness game up a notch, consider buying her a few sessions with a personal trainer. This can be a great way to develop a fitness plan that works for her, as well as splurging on something she might not be willing to pay for for herself.
Journal Kit
A huge part of living a healthy lifestyle is taking the time to be mindful and be connected with your feelings. This journal kit, complete with a set of colored pens, and accessories to make it your own, is a great gift for anyone looking to get in tune with themselves. Available in four different colors, the journal is designed to be used as a traditional bullet journal, but can be adapted to fit your preferences.
At Home Spa Kit
Parents spend a lot of time taking care of everyone around them. Treat them to a self-care session with this luxurious and elegant at-home spa kit. This kit comes with a coconut bath soak, an all natural sponge, gorgeous candle and even a succulent. It will turn any bathroom into a soothing spa environment.
Singing Bowl
Looking for a unique gift? Look no further than these gorgeously crafted singing bowls from the Ohm Store. Sound baths are becoming increasingly popular tools in meditation. These bowls are designed to help reduce stress and promote healing. This bowl is small enough to fit in the palm of your hand, and perfect for those who are just starting to discover the benefits of using singing bowls. It comes with a wooden striker and hand sewn cushion that helps extend the healing vibrations of the bowl.
Bean Box Gift Set
Sometimes self-care is as simple as taking time out of your day to make yourself a delicious beverage and just breathe. With this gift box from Bean Box, you can help your mom do just this. This particular set comes with 4 curated bags of coffee, and 4 bags of high quality loose leaf tea. You can also get sets that come with artisan chocolates.
Book Set
If your mother is a bookworm, consider making her a book-lovers gift box. Fill it with your favorite books about wellness. We recommend Rooted by Lyanda Lynne Haupt, a book that examines the relationship between science, spirituality, and nature on our bodies. Alternatively, we are fans of Brene Brown’s Atlas of the Heart, which helps teach language that fosters meaningful connection. Make this gift extra cozy by throwing in a soft blanket, like this Cotton Waffle Throw Blanket from West Elm.
Cooking Class
If you are looking for a fun, hands-on activity you can both participate in, look for cooking classes in your area. Learn crowd pleasing secrets to cooking perfect Italian or French food. Looking for a more personal touch, find a class that focuses on your family’s heritage and learn recipes from that culture together. You may even create a new family tradition!
