Mother's Day is almost here, and it's time for us to think about what gift to give to our mother. Instead of choosing a gadget she'll throw away in a few months, choose a gift of self-care that promotes rest and relaxation—and gives back some of the care she's provided over the years. According to a 2023 survey, more than half of Americans experience stress that makes it difficult to enjoy their daily lives.

Moms also tend to feel stressed out about their loved ones, so Mother's Day is the perfect opportunity to remind her to take more time for herself. Here are some of our favorite tips for wowing the women in your life this Mother's Day.
