Welcome to Mom Motivation Mondays where weekly contributing writers share their motherhood experiences to encourage you to find the joy in being a mom.

Get mom a unique and useful Mother's Day gift that she can use to find balance and joy as a mom.

I like to think that as a mom I have a little bit of insight into what moms like and appreciate when it comes to gifts. Useful things that last a while and can be used over and over again are so much better than items that sit on the shelf and have no real purpose.

These Mother’s Day gift ideas are so useful that they will actually help moms feel more balanced and joyful-I know, because I have been feeling great after using them myself!

Don’t get me wrong, I love a beautiful bouquet of flowers or a hand-drawn picture from the kids. When we are talking about purchased gifts for moms-or that moms can purchase as a little reward for themselves-useful is a good thing.

Unique Mother’s Day Gifts Ideas

These unique and useful Mother’s Day gifts are grouped by price: Less than $50, Less than $100, and The Ultimate Mother’s Day Gift.

Beauty DIY Booklet Set

For moms that like to pamper themselves, but do not have a lot of time to indulge, this Beauty Set is perfect. Included is a DIY booklet that teaches moms how to add a little beauty pampering into their busy schedule.

The cosmetic bag and essential oils included will allow this gift to be useful long past Mother’s Day. Lavender and Cedarwood essential oils are supportive of the skin and relaxation. These oils can be applied directly to the skin or added to bath water for a calming, rejuvenating bath.

The Beauty DIY Booklet Set is $32.89 (retail) and $25.00 (wholesale). Grab mom a wholesale membership or choose retail to pay full price, then add the DIY Beauty Set to your cart and you will get the wholesale savings.

Pedicure Set

If a relaxing foot rub and DIY foot soak are more what mom needs, this pedicure set is going to give her what she needs to get a relaxing pedicure. (Not to mention that this set will allow mom to give herself a pedicure multiple times because it lasts longer than one use!)

Comfy slippers, a pumice stone, and the Pedicure DIY card allow moms to fully relax and take time for themselves. Included are two essential oils that should be in all of our mom toolkits: Peppermint and Stress Away.

Peppermint is a great oil for massaging onto feet mixed in coconut oil because it has a cooling and invigorating effect. Peppermint calms and soothes while smelling so fresh. Stress Away does what the name suggests: Melt tension away and support a calm experience. You can even wear this oil blend like perfume throughout the day to keep a relaxed mindset. (Especially helpful during tantrums!)

The Pedicure Set is available for $38.16 retail and $29.00 wholesale. You can see how wholesale membership saves you money over and over again.

Essential Oil Basics Gift Set

If mom has shown interest in essential oils you will want to buy only the best. Young Living is where I buy my essential oils because they are the only company with a Seed to Seal guarantee of purity. No other essential oils company owns their own farms. The essential oils basic gift set is a great intro set to dive into the wellness benefits of pure, therapeutic grade essential oils that only Young Living can offer.

The Essential oils basics gift set includes 3 bottles of oils-Lavender, Peppermint and Thieves-as well as a booklet of tips for using essential oils every day.

Thieves supports the body’s ability to stay well. Lavender calms and is great for skin, and Peppermint cools, soothes and supports less tension. What mom doesn’t need those?

Get mom an Essential Oils Basics Kit for $43.09 retail or $32.75 wholesale. You can read more about Young Living’s wholesale membership to save 24% on all oils. I highly recommend it!

Citrus Vitality Set

This set really gets you some mega-savings while still getting mom a great wellness-supporting gift! If mom is interested in supporting her energy, or maintaining a healthy weight, this Mother’s Day gift set is definitely a must-get.

The Citrus Vitality Set is a useful Mother’s Day gift because it comes with 3 different Vitality oils. (Young Living’s Vitality line of oils are safe to ingest. That is not the case with essential oils on the store shelves.)

Grapefruit, Lemon and Orange Vitality oils are the trio in the kit. Naturally occurring limonene packs a health punch. Get this set for $23.68 retail or only $18.00 wholesale. Buy mom a stainless or glass water bottle to complete the set and she will be ready to take charge of her health goals.

Mother’s Day Gifts that Cost Less than $100

Active Outdoors Gift Set

If mom is already spending a lot of time outdoors a unique and useful Mother’s Day gift for her is the Active Outdoors Set. It includes Cool Azul Sports Gel to massage onto muscles, Citronella essential oil to keep pests away, and the unique Lavaderm cooking mist which is essential when you spend periods of time out in the sun.

This active gift set is great for Mother’s Day, athletes, or moms who have fitness goals. This gift set retails for $85.53, but you can save $20 by buying it at wholesale price for $65.00.

These products last so long that the cost really is divided over months. Mom will get so much use out of useful Mother’s Day gifts that fit her lifestyle and needs.

Real Value in Mother’s Day Gifts

Isn’t it amazing how much value is included when we gift useful and unique Mother’s Day gifts?

These gift sets will last months. Moms can really dive in to natural wellness and supporting themselves in small moments throughout every day.

Taking time to support my health with natural products and essential oils is my strategy for staying well so I can feel in balance and have the energy I need to keep up with caring for my family. Essential oils have done phenomenal things to support my energy and overall wellness.

This Mother’s Day treat yourself or a mom you love to a really useful gift.
