For The Stressed Mom Who Never Stops

You know that mom…she’s always just a bit frazzled, forgetful and worrying about everyone on the planet but herself. I have a full self care and wellness gift guide here for you to browse with goodies and gadgets for stress relief, but below are a few gift ideas for the anxious mom to get you started.

1. CALM Magnesium Supplement: Did you know most of us are magnesium deficient? Reviewed here, this supplements works to address stress and anxiety through magnesium citrate supplementation. It can also help improve sleep and restlessness and comes in a fine powder form that can be easily added into any drink.
2. Calm Essential Oil Roll On Blend: this oil roller uses a mixture of aromatherapy oils that include peppermint, Spanish sage, cardamom, fennel and ginger to calm and relax anyone in need of a bit of rest from racing thoughts or anxiety. It can also promote better sleep and is a great item to throw in mom’s purse for stress relief on the go.
3. Shiatsu Foot Massager: for the mom who runs around cooking, cleaning, dropping off or standing at work all day long, a warming foot spa can be a great way to promote rest, relaxation, blood circulation and force them to just sit down for 10 minutes! There are also similar options for Shiatsu neck and back massage if mom isn’t a foot massage person. 
4. 5-Minute Stress Relief: this book provides 75 quick anxiety reducing exercises for stress management any time, any where.
5. Gratitude: A Day and Night Reflection Journal: Practising and acknowledging gratitude is one of the most potent and important mindfulness exercises and thankfulness has proven to have a positive effect on a person’s mental health and general well-being. This journal helps to promote deep daily reflection, which can help slow down the mind and focus thinking away from more stressful thoughts on a daily basis.
6. A good pair of sneakers: Running around getting things requires some supportive shoes. A great pair of Sketchers or shock absorbing runners can help that mom on the go stay comfy.

For The Mom Who Loves To Cook & Bake

If you’re lucky enough to have or know a mom that loves to cook, roast, bake and saute for you, I suggest you keep her happy and well equipped with some much-need kitchen gadgets and cooking upgrades!

1. Ninja Professional Advanced Food Processor: Never let mom suffer from chunky smoothies, mixes or soups with the Ninja food processor. This gizmo features precision chopping, one-touch dough making and several chopping/slicing blades to dice anything this mom can think of! I plan to get one for myself!
2. Stylish Coloured/Metallic Pots: Okay, everyone has the standard stainless steel pots and pans for their kitchen, but gold, copper or coloured pots take kitchen cooking and decor to the next level! Consider this bronze pot set from Nutrichef, or these fab copper Gotham Steel pots. Or maybe a blue Farberware pot set? The options are endless.
3. Laser Cut Rolling Pins: This paisley embossed rolling pin from Embossed Co. is a gorgeous gift for any baker to add some flair to their doughs and cookies. This company offers several embossed designs to choose from that any baker would love. For the higher-end mom, maybe a marble rolling pin or ceramic patterned rolling pin would be a more decorative option?
4. Personalized Apron: A personalized apron for the cooking mom is a must as the perfect gift. For a good laugh, I also recommend the “No Bitchin’ In My Kitchen” apron.
5. Air Fryer: Air frying is the new healthy frying option taking over social media. Grab one for the mom who loves trying every new cooking fad.
6. Charcuterie Board or Cutting Boards: A gorgeous marble, wood or quartz charcuterie board can be used to display food or as kitchen decor for that mom who is always in the kitchen.
