I’m going to give you a bit of a guide to use for choosing scents for your Mother. You can say lots of things with fragrance without saying a word, and I’m going to show you how!
Rose scents tend to be very calming, soothing, and reflective in nature. The scent of a rose is always perceived as very romantic, as well.
Lemon is energizing and uplifting! A lemon scent helps to relieve fatique, tiredness and lethargy. Lemon-scented bath gels or after-bath lotions are a great way to help your Mom wake up in the morning!
Sandlewood is a masculine scent that is also loved by many woman too! It’s an earthy, woodsy, balancing scent and is used often in incense. Sandlewood is also used to help one sleep at night as it is very relaxing.
Ginger is a scent often used to increase energy and productivity. Pregnant woman also use ginger to help stave off or cure the nausea associated with morning sickness. If your wife is pregnant, ginger scented candles may be a lifesaver!
Lavender is widely used as a stress reliever. This is why so many before-bed treatments such as bath oils, lotions and things like scented sleep masks have a lavender scent. One of the most classic and recognizable soaps is Yardley’s Lavender Soap!
Peppermint is a great energizer and muscle pain reliever. The wonderful scent of peppermint can help with the afternoon sleepies and can help re-energize you for the evening! Peppermint can also help soothe an upset stomache.
Nutmeg and chamomile are two aromas used to help you attain deep relaxation and restful, restorative sleep.
And finally, jasmine is a scent used to sooth and relax. Jasmine has also been used in the past as an aphrodisiac!

There’s just about nothing better for a woman than a spa day all to herself! A spa day as a Mothers Day gift gives Mom the chance to relax, unwind, rejuvenate and do something that is just for her. A day at the spa can consist of lots of different activities. A haircut, manicure, pedicure or massage are a few of the options you can choose for Mom!
One of the easiest things to do is to simply buy a gift certificate of a certain amount that Mom can use to put towards spa services. This lets her choose exactly what she’d like to spend her day doing!
If you decide you’d like to choose the services yourself for a Mother’s Day gift, here is a list of popular options:
Massage – a basic Swedish relaxation massage is used for stress-relief and can also be used as a starting point to find out where deeper massage therapy work may be needed. Choose the one hour massage as opposed to a half-hour massage because a half-hour is simply not enough time to address all the areas of tension.
Manicure – if your mom takes great pride in keeping her hands and nails neat and tidy, a manicure is a wonderful treat. She’ll usually receive a hand and wrist massage as well as a warm-water soak, salt scrub and a new polish application.
Pedicure – A pedicure is basically the same thing as a manicure, but for your feet! A pedicure is a favorite in the winter to restore the softness of summer skin that usually gets rough and scaly with the dry winter air. A pedicure is relaxing and at the same time rejuevanating!
Hair Dressing – A haircut is a nice addition to a spa day, but only if you are able to schedule the spa day at the salon your mom normally visits. Trust me, she will not want to get her hair cut by a brand new stylist! If you can’t make a spa day appointment at your mom’s normal salon, or if they don’t offer spa services, try to schedule a deep conditioning treatment and a scalp massage. There is nothing that feels better than a professional scalp massage!
Hopefully these suggestions will help you decide what kind of package to put together for your Mother’s Day Surprise. One thing is for sure – it’s sure to be a gift she will love, appreciate and remember for years to come!
