Indoor Plants

Aside from being adorable, indoor plants are a GR8 self-care gift. It's proven that indoor plants can help reduce stress and they help transform any room into a mini-oasis. Plants can help improve mood and levels of happiness, and what mom doesn't love a little something blooming in her window?

Fuzzy Slippers

I know, it sounds a little cheesy, but trust me. There is no woman who doesn't love a good pair of fuzzy slippers. Whether mom wears them around the house on a lazy Sunday morning, or while she kicks her feet up at the end of the night to read or watch TV, fuzzy slippers are a must-have.

Pick a pair that matches moms personality. They don't have to be all pink and frilly. Find her favorite color, look for the comfiest sole you can find, and package them up with a bow.

Simple Loose Leaf Tea Subscription

Encourage mom to take a moment for herself this evening as she sips a warm mug of tea (while wearing her fuzzy slippers, of course!). The Simple Loose Leaf tea subscription box gets delivered monthly and you can select from a sampler box, an herbal box, a black tea box, or a green tea box. What ever mom likes best is exactly what she'll get.

Every month when the box gets delivered you'll remind mom that it's okay to pause in the midst of a crazy schedule and take a moment to just be.
