If your mom enjoys reminiscing on her flower power days, she'll love the reusable tin this gift comes in. But really, the best part is what's inside: three limited edition bubble wands (for extra-sudsy baths), a fruity-smelling soap, skin-softening bath bomb, a hand moisturizer, and their best-selling Ocean Salt cleanser and Dream Cream body lotion.

Does your mom neglect her skin? Then this kit is perfect. It covers all aspects of a good skin care regimen: cleanser, eye gel, moisturizer with SPF, anti-aging serum, exfoliator, and night cream. Plus all the products come in travel-sized jars, perfect for when she comes to visit you.
We don't know the exact definition of "mother," but we're pretty sure the word "selfless" is in there somewhere. Moms always seem to put their kids first -- and themselves dead last.
While we should appreciate our selfless mothers every day of the year, Mother's Day gives us an extra chance to say thanks. For all the time spent securing the bedroom from "monsters," giving advice on everything from math homework to boyfriends, and showing us unconditional love -- even when we've royally messed up.
This year, we rounded up all the gifts your mom will really love -- really beautiful, but useful, beauty products that she'd never buy for herself. These eight Mother's Day gifts are the ultimate in pampering: wonderful smelling, beautifully packaged, and worthy of a place on your mom's bathroom vanity. She'll love them all -- and the message behind them: that you want your mom to feel as loved as you do.
