Being a mom is a pretty stressful business to be in! Even after the kids are all grown up and moved out of the house, that doesn’t mean your mom stops worrying about you. Add in work, day to day life struggles, and the fact that moms pretty much feel like it’s their job to take care of everyone but themselves, and chances are you’ve got a more stressed out mom than she lets on. She may often forget to pamper herself, or to even realize that she’s forgotten to take some time for herself. Mother’s day would be an excellent time to give mom the gentle reminder that it’s okay to slow down and get some R&R. If you’re looking for some gift ideas to help mom relax beyond a day at the spa, check out these terrific options.
Purchase from SOUQ
Whether or not your mom has a garden or balcony, you can find indoor versions of these stress relieving wonders for mother’s day and everyday. They are very space friendly and not much room is needed at all to accommodate one. Swinging is also beneficial to the body, as it helps with balance, calms, and can even help strengthen leg and pelvic muscles. But, all that aside, who doesn’t love a good swing or hammock? We found quite a few affordable options on SOUQ in a variety of colors. Who wouldn’t want to curl up in one of these with a good book?

As you’ve likely heard, coloring as an adult has a slew of benefits. One of the biggest is stress relief. Help mom enter that calm meditative state where stress is a distant notion by providing her with some adult coloring books and some quality colored pencils. The amount of coloring books available for adults is almost unbelievable. SOUQ alone has a veritable treasure trove of options. They come in a variety of subject matter; everything from animals, to mandalas, to something more fanciful like secret gardens and lost oceans.

A night away can totally help to relax and refresh without having to travel far. Why not book mom a night at a fabulous local hotel with some great views. Maybe she has a hotel she is fond of, or you might have fun finding something she’d like that she’s never stayed at before for a completely new experience. If you’re feeling extra sneaky this mother’s day, head to the room before you turn the key over to her and leave a new pair of PJ’s laying on the bed waiting for her. Or, you could also leave some money for her to order in some room service on you.

If your mom finds either of these activities enjoyable, why not get her a gift card and let her relax by doing something she enjoys on mother’s day. Top Chef Dubai offers a variety of cooking classes in different categories like gourmet, bread, or pastry. There is also a cooking for two class offered, in case you’d like to come along. Check out prices here. If painting is more her style, We Love Art has nights where you can recreate classic art pieces while sipping a glass of wine or two (or 4 glasses of something less grape inspired). All the supplies are included in the price and novices are more than welcome as you will be instructed on technique and basic sketches are provided on your canvas to guide you.
