Gift ideas for the Mum, Ma or M-Other in your life who needs a little tender loving care.
If your Mum is anything like my Mum, you'll find her self-care is at the bottom of the priority list. A couple of months ago I watched her organize and chair a meeting via her phone from a hospital bed ! Mother's Day then, is the perfect opportunity to gift her some well deserved purposeful pampering.
I'm a firm believer in the healing power of a good massage - even as a full time student, I would put money aside (read: not save) so I could treat myself to a "mall massage". Now that I'm a grown ass woman, I've graduated to the more sophisticated world of boutique massage therapists.
Here in Auckland, there are two fantastic women I love to support - partly because they are excellent humans and partly because I am in awe of their bravery to start their respective businesses from scratch.
Over at What you Knead the super lovely Kate offers an in-home massage service, specializing in massage for relaxation and well being. For me the privacy and security of being able to have a massage at home is second to none. Get this...if you're a team leader at work, or a workplace well-being warrior, Kate offers a corporate wellness massage service. Too good.
For Mother's Day, there are two extra special options for Mum :
or
Perfect for stay at home Mums, work from home Mums or the I-like-my-massage-in-the-privacy-of-my-home-Mums (aka my Mum).
The only other masseuse I will see is the terrific Lucy Suttor of Nice Touch Massage. This little darling is currently working on setting up a physical location for her work. In the lead up to the launch, she's set up a pledge me page with some pretty out of this world donation gifts. A great way to set Mum up with a lush gift AND support a woman in business.
For just $25 you can secure yourself a pair of Lucy's super cute fimo earrings...
For $60 you scoop up a 60 minute massage ! Bargain !...
For $100 you get 90 whole minutes of bliss...
For $300 you get lock in five, that's FIVE dreamy massages #bargainofthecentury
And for $1000 you ballers get the pleasure of unlimited massages for a whole year.
For me, this option is such a good match for my values when I'm shopping. Supporting local business, Tick. Supporting women in business, Tick. Investing in quality, Tick. Win win win.
