As moms, we dedicate our time and energy to caring for our children and our families. We wear many hats, and our lives can be defined by how much we give to others. Mother’s Day comes along once a year, and we deserve to feel special on that day. Homemade cards and gifts, extra snuggles, and special outings are all wonderful and memorable, but Mother’s Day can also be an opportunity for self-care.
Moms should not feel guilty for treating themselves on a once-a-year holiday honoring our selfless work throughout the year. There are small gifts that we can treat ourselves to because we deserve them. Here are 10 gifts to treat yourself to this Mother’s Day:
- Espresso Machine
A mom’s morning can often feel like we are sprinting our way through a marathon as we get everyone prepared for their days. There’s nothing like quality caffeine in a quick and efficient way to help us get going. An espresso machine will start your day right, which means the whole family’s day gets started right as well.

2. Audiobooks Subscription Service
We would all be rich if we had a nickel for every time a mom friend mentioned she wished she had more time to read like she used to. With an audiobook subscription service, you can listen to books in a way that works for you while you mom taxi, commute to work, or rock your child to sleep (thank you, earbuds!). Get back into reading and small, healthy escapes via audiobooks!

3. Acupressure Mat and Pillow Set
Whether you’re hunched over a computer, a nursing baby, or both, we can all use a bit of stress and tension relief. We might dream of weekly acupuncture appointments, but at the very least, we can bring acupressure to the comfort of our own home with acupressure mats and pillows. They are said to better your sleep, lift your energy, and improve circulation, so you can’t go wrong.

4. Neck and Shoulder Massager
Nothing says self care like making time for a massage. That massage feels even better if you can sit on your own couch and receive a Shiatsu massage with heat while you binge on Netflix. A heated neck and shoulder massager can help you wind down every night even after the busiest of days.

5. Stainless Steel Tumbler Cup
On a beautiful day, treat yourself to a long walk with a friend. You can enhance that walk by relaxing somewhere with a beautiful natural view and a vacuum-sealed tumbler cup to hold whatever decadence you would like to indulge in at the perfect temperature. Whether it’s coffee, ice cream, or wine, these tumblers make traveling with a treat easy.
