Snag Alicia’s favorite gifts for moms & mentors, just in time for Mother’s Day on May 12.
– KEYS SOULCARE
Nurturing and uplifting others is a skill moms, mentors, and lightworkers have down pat. They spend so much time and energy making it possible for us to thrive. In the hustle and bustle of taking care of those around them, we think of this holiday as a moment to pause, reflect, and consider the impact of all the meaningful caregivers in your life.
Don’t just give a day spa Groupon or a Sephora gift card. Bring the luxe spa day directly to her with these relaxing gifts designed to pamper, appreciate, and ground her in meaningful daily rituals.
This Mother’s Day, opt for thoughtful soulcare with this Alicia-approved gift guide for all the mamas & mentors on your list. These unique gifts for mom (and your favorite mentor or helper) celebrate self-care and relaxation, from aromatherapy to dermatologist-developed skincare.
Each soulcare offering in this guide includes a daily affirmation to uplift the moms and mentors in your life. Paired with a gift, these simple phrases will guide her intentions on Mother’s Day and beyond — like: “I am good to myself” or “I put myself first.”
8 THOUGHTFUL, INTENTIONAL SELF-CARE GIFTS FOR MOM THIS YEAR
SAGE + OAT MILK CANDLE
Diapers, dinners, meetings, giving priceless advice, and holding space during hard moments, the mothers in our lives do a lot in their day-to-day. They deserve a little aromatherapy and what better way to breathe in ease after a long day than with our OG offering, the Sage + Oat Milk candle?
This thoughtful gift has the soul-satisfying scent of clean, calming sage and sweet oats to soothe every supermom throughout her busy day. Help her shine at full wattage in full or votive sizes. Prepare in a Mother’s Day gift basket with other self care gifts — like a sleep mask, diffuser, silk pillowcase, or gift card — that’ll feel like a splurge to her but still fit the budget for you.
This offering’s affirmation: “I shine at full wattage.”
GOLDEN CLEANSER
It’s a universal truth — not just for moms! — that, after a long day, there’s nothing better than taking a 5-minute break to wash your face and remind yourself that you are enough. Enhance her end-of-evening ritual with Golden Cleanser, a gentle daily cleanser formulated with glycerin plus Manuka honey and chamomile to melt away makeup and impurities. This short-but-sweet personal ceremony creates a moment of mindfulness in gratitude in the everyday.
This offering’s affirmation: “I am devoted to this moment.”
TRULY BECOMING MULTI-BENEFIT PEPTIDE SERUM
A multi-benefit fave for your multi-tasking mama. Truly Becoming Peptide Serum became an instant top-seller because of its clinically proven power to help improve the appearance of skin thanks to a potent blend of polypeptides, multi-weight hyaluronic acid, and marine bamboo. In fact, 98% of test subjects in a clinical study reported an immediate increase in skin’s moisture.
This offering is all about rising above the noise to radiate with the grace and timeless beauty our mothers give us.
This offering’s affirmation: “I rise above.”
DEEPLY REPLENISHING SQUALANE FACIAL OIL
What mom doesn’t love a healthy-looking, lit-from-within glow? Packed with squalane, jojoba oil, and other hydrating powerhouse ingredients, Deeply Replenishing Facial Oil rejuvenates the skin and fakes a full night’s sleep for busy new moms. Deeply Replenishing works best after serum and before moisturizer.
Bonus points if you make it a gift set with the Obsidian Facial Roller as a companion, so mom can enjoy a relaxing facial massage with each application.
This offering’s affirmation: “I am good to myself.”
SKIN TRANSFORMATION FACE CREAM
Packed with a gentle but powerful retinol alternative, bakuchiol, the Skin Transformation Face Cream is deeply moisturizing facial lotion packed with high-quality hydrators like ceramides plus hyalauronic acid. The calming sage and oat milk scent offers up DIY aromatherapy at home with each application. Pair with the Obsidian Facial Roller to create the ultimate relaxation duo.
This offering’s affirmation: “I welcome all circumstances as a catalyst for change.”
PROTECT YOUR LIGHT SPF
Remember when your mom would remind you not to forget your keys, lunch, or homework? Now’s your time to remind her to layer up on SPF. Protect Your Light is the daily moisturizing broad spectrum UVA/UVB protection your mom deserves with niacinamide plus squalane. The non-greasy feeling formula leaves no icky white cast to keep mom glowing, regardless of skin tone. So lightweight and effective that your mom won’t mind the ‘“don’t-forget-to-reapply” texts.
This offering’s affirmation: “I protect my inner light.”
RADIANT EYE CREAM
Treat your mama like the queen she is with a velvety, revitalizing offering. Our Radiant Eye Cream comes packed with peptides, sunflower seed oil, plus gold foil for a restorative ritual for delicate under eye skin. As she smooths on the fragrance-free formula, she’ll begin to recharge and reset to awaken her gaze and spirit.
For more gift ideas, pair the eye cream with other brightening gifts — essential oils to uplift or travel-sized skincare to encourage self-care anywhere.
This offering’s affirmation: “I have awakened my full potential.”
COMFORTING TINTED LIP BALM
Booked and busy moms need makeup that’s infused with skin-loving ingredients to get them through packed days of meetings, date night, and quality time with the family.
Winner of the 2022 Allure Best of Beauty Awards’ Best Tinted Lip Balm, the Comforting Tinted Lip Balm with avocado oil plus camellia seed oil helps nourish, smooth and soften lips while adding a pop of color to her day in a single swipe.
Why stop at one shade? Gift her the Soulful Kiss Tinted Lip Balm Set so she can explore different shades depending on her look (and her mood). This multi-tasking trio of tinted lip balms comes in three distinct shades: clear with gold shimmer for low-key days, a sheer neutral berry for an effortless look, or a sheer bright coral for a vibrant night out.
This offering’s affirmation: “I put myself first.”
