Healthy gifts for Mother's Day
My mom is one of those hard-to-buy-for types. She and my dad are, thankfully, in a position where if they need or want anything, they can go out and get it. But when birthdays and holidays like Mother's Day roll around, it leaves my siblings and me with very few options. This year, I think I'll try to give my mom something in keeping with her healthy lifestyle. If you're thinking along the healthy lines for Mother's Day gifts too, here are some ideas to consider:- A day at the spa. Moms rarely take time for themselves. Give your mom a gift certificate for the spa and help her relax.
- Skin care. Whether you give a face mask, moisturizer, hand lotion, or cleanser, skin care gifts are always appreciated.

- New shoes. Buy your mom a new pair of shoes for her favorite workout.
- Recipe box. Fill a decorative recipe box with all of your favorite healthy recipes.
- Massage. A gift certificate for a massage is a great way to help your mom fight stress.
- Herb garden. Your mom will appreciate the fresh herbs right from her own patio, garden, or windowsill.
- Garden tools. If your mom enjoys working in the yard, new garden tools are a great gift.
- Flowers. Arranged flowers from a florist are always nice, but this year give your mom flowers to plant in her garden or give her a pot, flowers, soil, and a watering can so she can build her own container garden.
- Exercise DVD. An aerobics, yoga, or tai chi DVD is the gift of health that keeps giving.
- Exercise clothes. Buy your mom new clothes for her favorite workout.
- Bubble bath. Help mom unwind with some aromatic bath salts or bubble bath.
- Book. The latest best seller is a gift that ensures mom will take some time off for herself.
- Vegetables. Buy mom the tools and plants or seeds she needs to grow her own vegetables.
