Stuck on what to get your mom [1] or caretaker this Mother's Day [2]? You're not alone. That's why we reached out to moms on staff to find out their favourite beauty gifts they've ever received.

The common thread with all the responses? They all involved a beauty treatment that allowed the moms to unwind and practice a little self-care [3]. Giving your mom a service she'll use instead of a gift she may not want is a sure way to make sure your present is one she doesn't forget.

Check out the ideas ahead.

A Massage

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."

A Salon Gift Certificate

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 [4] 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."

A Facial

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."

An At-Home Massage

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 [5] 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"
