08 May A Mom for All Seasons: A Mother’s Day Gift Guide
Spring, summer, fall, winter…there’s no season that goes by that your mother is not involved in some way, and in some part of your life. But just because Mother’s Day falls in springtime, that doesn’t mean that the treats you give your mom shouldn’t span all the seasons of the year.
You’ll never know when she needs her shea butter-infused hand cream, but you can make sure she has it handy. Here are some of our perennial (and seasonal) picks for the person who made you more than a shadow of yourself.
Spring
Neutrogena MoistureShine® Gloss
Neutrogena Moisture Shine Gloss: This is a soft, wearable lipgloss that comes in an array of sorbet shades and spring colors that are sheer and wearable. The entire spring palette lives in these beauties that are filled with a triple berry antioxidant complex –including Acai, Goji and Aronia berries–that improves the look of lips over time.
Weleda Wild Rose Oil
Gwyneth is a fan of this body oil formulated with jojoba oil, rose petals, sweet almond oil and musk rose oil. This is great to use on bare arms and legs for a soft, shiny glow.

Fall
Ralph Lauren Romance Gift Set
The Ralph Lauren Romance Gift Set ($130) is a study in preppy chic, with delicious notes of sungoddess rose, marigold, ginger, chamomile oil, yellow freesia, white violet, lotus flower, day lily, patchouli, and oakmoss that evoke the shades of both summer and fall.
Winter
Almond Oil Heavenly Hands
Nothing will keep your mom more toasty and warm in the winter than some delicious body butters from The Body Shop that remind her of SUMMER. This Almond Oil Heavenly Hands set is perfect for the mom that does a lot with her hands, from washing the dishes to folding the clothes.
No matter what gifts you choose to put into under your Mother’s Day gift tree, remember to thank her endlessly for her tireless years of patience, love and care.
Now, beautify that thought.
