Christmas gift ideas for mom for self care
13. medicube PDRN gift set
Anything from medicube is awesome! And, this cute gift box is no exception. It actually doubles as a paper Christmas ornament that mom can add to her holiday displays.
Inside the box has 2 full sized bottles of PDRN collagen balm and mist. These are great for plumping and hydrating skin and are so worth it!.
14. medicube glass hair set
They didn’t stop at just amazing skin care, medicube also has this amazing hair care set! It comes with shampoo, conditioner, serum and hair mask that contain PDRN and rosemary.
15. Face massagers
Your mom probably already has a gua sha. But, that doesn’t mean she won’t love an electric one that’s heated, has red light, and vibrates!
If your mom isn’t into oiling her face, she may prefer this face brush instead. The bristles stimulate the skin and help move lymph in a similar way as the gua sha. No oil needed here!
16. Regular massagers
For the moms who struggle with muscle pain, neck and back massagers would be such a useful and thoughtful Christmas present for her. These are great options for her neck and back.
17. Collapsible foot bath
What’s better than a warm foot soak at the end of a tough day? Mom would surely love it! Get her this collapsible foot bath for Christmas. It doesn’t take up much space and comes with heating, massaging rollers, bubble systems and a pedicure kit.
18. Travel skincare set
If mom is traveling during or after the holidays, get her some travel sized skincare she can use on her trip. Both the e.l.f. hydration and Summer Fridays sets are great!
19. Beauty of Joseon eye revival set
Oh I just adore Beauty of Joseon and use these under eye patches with ginseng all the time. They are part of my self care routine. This set comes with the patches and eye serum.
20. Red light
Is your mom a fan of red light therapy? Get her more lights! This one comes with a stand so she can set it up wherever she’s sitting and bask in the warm glow.
