However, there is no stopping you from showing your appreciation to the woman you love on Mother’s Day come 10 May.

Whether Mother’s Day gifting is a new concept introduced by merchants or not, these trying times call for us to indulge in some pampering treats, for ourselves and our loved ones. Here are some ideas for expressing your love to the woman who gave life to you.

She has slaved in the kitchen since you were a little girl. Give her the gift of health with these selections. Build her bone health or help her cope with menopause supplements from iHerb.

And if she insists on doing the weekly marketing during COVID-19 times, get her these oh-so-pretty handmade face masks from Etsy so she can look good and stay safe while out and about.

If mum’s a beautyholic

You started out with ‘borrowing’ her lipstick, a tinge of eyeshadow and a coat of mascara. She was the one who introduced you to your first face moisturizer and mask. Now that you are all grown up and Internet-savvy, get her these beauty bestsellers from Hermo, which guarantees 100% authentic products and free delivery with $25 purchase. Or, get her an item or two to prevent crepy skin from developing around her neck and decollete areas from beauty haven Sephora.
