Mom’s never get a day off so what better way to thank them than by giving them something to help them relax after a long day?  Mother’s Day is the perfect time to let the moms in your life know that’s ok to take a minute out for themselves.  From scented to candles, calming creams, to spa treatments, I’ve picked my favorite stress-relieving treats from Fresh, Shalimar, Origins, Diptyque, and Bliss.

On a side note, I received some info on a fabulous set of perfumes that Bond No. 9 is releasing for Mother’s Day that dazzle with thousands of Swarovski crystals covering the bottle.  Unfortunately, they are priced beyond my Mother’s Day budget but “if I were a rich girl” I would definitely love to surprise mom with one of these fabulous bottles.

50ml for $650
