The Best Mother's Day Beauty Gifts POPSUGAR Staffers Have Ever Received

If the mother in your life is always on the go, gift her a massage at her favourite local spa. "Last year my son and husband got me a Bliss Spa massage at the W Hotel in Hoboken which was amazing," Kerrie Egal, senior project manager said. "I pretty much never take the time to pamper myself — as most moms know, there's very little time with a little kid running around. Plus, there's always that mom guilt. So needless to say, getting a massage was a real treat. It was a stress-relieving, guilt-free pass to 90 minutes of interrupted, blissful 'me' time."

Not sure what type of beauty service she wants? If you get her a gift certificate to a spa or salon that offers multiple services, she'll be able to decide for herself. "The best beauty Mother's Day gift I ever received was a gift certificate to a combination Spa and Salon," Dawn Anderson Brion, desktop support technician, said. "I loved it because it gave me the freedom to choose the services that I would like most to have done that would make me feel beautiful and relaxed and, most importantly, reminded me that I need to put myself first sometimes."

For the mom who loves skin care but has no time for herself, force her to take a break with a facial. "One of the best presents I received was a gift certificate to Mario Badescu for a facial," Rebecca Gruber, vice president of Native Content, said. "Not only are their facials amazing, the fact that I would have an hour to myself where someone was pampering me was heavenly. It was like a forced minivacation."

For some new moms, being away from their newborn can more stressful than relaxing. Fortunately, there are ways to give her a relaxing treatment right at home. "[My partner] got me a massage from this app called Zeel where they came to our house when I still had a baby," Kate Schweitzer, senior editor of Family, said. "It was so nice to be pampered without having to leave the house and go somewhere. Plus, it was superaffordable, and I got the enjoyment of the service without having to navigate all the logistics"
