Here are a couple more gift ideas from Dropwise for Mother’s Day. Remember today is the last day to place your order to ensure delivery in time for the blessed event.

Gifts for Mom’s who love flowers, plants or gardening

If your mom is the type of person who loves flowers, houseplants or tending to the garden, there’s a good chance she’ll love just about any aromatherapy product you give her. But how can you decide on the right scent? That’s where our combination blend gifts come in really handy. We’ve got two:

1. Dropwise Sampler Gift Box: A cornucopia of aromatherapy products and blends in our trial sizes so they’re easy to tote around –providing a constant reminder of your thoughtfulness 🙂 This aromatherapy gift set contains everything your mom needs to feel and smell great! Includes five 1/2 oz bottles of our Aromatherapy Hand & Body Lotion (one in each blend), five 1/2 oz bottles of our Gentle Cleansing Body Wash (one in each blend), five vials of our Certified Organic Moisturizing Body Oil (one in each blend), and 2 tins of our yummy Certified Organic Aromatherapy Lip Balms.

2. Dropwise Starter Kit, Combination Blend: Your next best option in this category is this starter kit –one of our most popular gift sets. It lets you give mom a variety of our natural and organic body products in several different Dropwise aromatherapy blends. Includes 2 oz. of our Aromatherapy Hand & Body Lotion, 2 oz. of our Gentle Cleansing Body Wash, a 2 oz. Aromatherapy Mister Spray, a 3 oz. bag of Aromatherapy Bath Salts, and a small tin of Organic Aromatherapy Lip Balm. The combinations are random and each product in the kit comes in a different blend. Handsomely packaged in a cute handwoven all-natural hand bag, convenient 2 oz sizes make it easy to tote the contents onto an airplane (just don’t forget to put them in a ziploc bag first)!

Gifts for Working Moms on the Go!

Does your mom travel a lot or the busy type who’s always on the go? Give her one of these gifts she can easily take and enjoy wherever she goes:

Lip Balm Gift Set Simply the best lip balm you’ll ever try! Certified organic botanical infusions and nutrient-rich oils make this lip balm glide on silky smooth without leaving a waxy or sticky residue. With regular use it will turn dry, chapped, or cracked lips into moist, supple, soft, and luscious lips. So light, mom can wear it as a gloss over her lip color or just by itself. They smell and taste great! 4 blends: Licorice Mint, Luscious Lime, Orange Dream and Peppermint Pattie in a cute sinamay gift bag.

Mister Trios: A virtual “spa in a bottle.” Our aromatherapy room and body spray misters are great for travel or any time mom needs to relieve stress, re-energize, or instantly manage her emotional state. These will breathe new life into stale air whether it’s in her car, her office, a hotel or meeting room, her bathroom or kitchen. They’re safe and gentle enough to spray on her face. They can be used to scent hair, clothes, linens, or as room and air fresheners. The Mister Trios come in two combinations: Calming Trio (Soothe restores balance & calms the mind. Divine is pampering and indulgent. Revitalize brings calm & clarity while cleansing the air) and Energizing Trio: Refresh cools and stimulates. Inspiration stimulates, inspires, and improves your mood. Revitalize brings calm and clarity while cleansing the air.

Aroma Pendant: Last but not least is our lovely sterling silver Sanctum Aroma Pendant. This beautiful hand-crafted sterling silver necklace was inspired by the artist’s fascination with ancient Byzantine art and does double duty as a lovely piece of jewelry AND an effective personal diffuser.

Inside the delicate silver tracery is a colored glass vial containing an absorbent cotton wad. To use, simply open the hinged top of the pendant, remove the vial, and pour a few drops of your favorite essential oil or essential oil blend onto the cotton, re-insert the glass vial, and your mom is ready to go! Her body heat will gently diffuse her chosen scent, slowly releasing its aroma throughout the day. The hinged top is open so the scent rises directly up towards her nose –another way to provide a great continuing reminder of your thoughtfulness!

Mother’s Day Gift Ideas from Dropwise

April 30, 2011 by Donya Fahmy Leave a Comment

People often ask me for ideas or suggestions on specific Dropwise products they can give as gifts for various occasions and Mother’s Day is no exception. You know I always say “nothing says ‘I Love You’ or ‘Thank You’ like the gift of aromatherapy.” Then I usually point them to the Gift Guide on our web site and let them decide from there. But I know that sometimes pointing people in the direction of something they are looking for may not be enough to help them get what they need especially if they are under the gun trying to find something special or unusual at the last minute and aren’t particularly inclined to take the time to browse. Does this sound familiar?

If you’re pressed for time but would like to find a lovely Mother’s Day gift either for your mom or for a special mom in your life then this post is for you. 🙂 I’ve put together a brief summary of gift ideas from Dropwise that would make any mom happy and grateful.

Gifts for Moms who work with their hands a lot

If your mom works with her hands a lot –whether in the home, the garden or at work then give her a gift designed to help her take care of those precious hands! I recommend our Hand & Foot Care Kit. This little gift set comes with a 3 oz bag of aromatherapy bath salts, and ½ oz bottles of aromatherapy hand and body lotion, certified organic body oil and gentle cleansing body wash along with a foot or nail brush made with wood and natural bristles. She can mix a little bit of the bath salts with a tiny bit of the body oil to create an exfoliating nail scrub that will help slough off excess cuticles while leaving hand and fingers soft and clean. The bath salts can also be used to create a foot soak or just used as regular bath salts! The lotion is small enough to tote around in her purse or even her pockets and used throughout the day to hydrate, moisturize, and soften her hands. The pure castile-based body wash can be use as hand soap too. This kit comes in five of our aromatherapy blends, I recommend either Soothe for its calming, balancing and soothing properties or Revitalize for its stimulating and clarifying properties. For more information click here.

Of course a bottle of our Nourishing Hand & Body Lotions would also make a lovely gift for any mom whose hands take a beating. Try Simply Naked (unscented) or Refresh with it’s minty fresh scent it’s bound to give her a little lift, especially at the end of a long day! You can find these here.

Gifts for Mom’s who work hard & deserve a little pampering

Mom’s who work hard deserve a little pampering. If going to a spa isn’t really her style, here area couple of gifts you can give that will create a “spa” experience in the comfort of her home, or any time or place, without the hassle of actually having to go somewhere.

The best way I know of to relax and blow off some steam is to take a long hot aromatic bath. The combination of hot water, Epsom salts and essential oils will loosen muscle tension and open breathing. Add soothing music or just some quiet reflective alone time and voila!

Try one or more of our Bath Salt Duos – Pairs of bath salts in complementary aromatherapy blends. I recommend the Divine & Inspiration 2-pk or the Soothe & Revitalize 2-pk. Divine is our most pampering and indulgent blend featuring Lavender, Ylang and true Vanllla and Inspiration, with its collection of uplifting and mood-enhancing citrus essential oils is guaranteed to warm her heart and put a smile on her face! Soothe is a grounding and sedating blend of Lavender, Geranium, Clary Sage and Chamomile while Revitalize, with it’s combination of evergreen and citrus oils captures the mood of a walk in the woods or a whiff of clean mountain air. You can find these here.

Another way to pamper your mom is with our certified organic moisturizing body oils. These can be used as a moisturizer in or after the bath or for an aromatherapy massage. The organic jojoba base hydrates, balances and protects the skin leaving it plump and glowing. Try one of our Body Oil Duos. I recommend Revitalize & Refresh for tired moms who need a lift or Divine & Soothe for moms who are a little stressed and need an easy way to get calm and grounded fast! Buy this item here.

One of my favorite pampering gift sets is our Spa Gift Set in Divine or Inspiration. This gift set includes a 4 oz bottle of our Nourishing Hand & Body Lotion and a 4 oz bottle of our Gentle Cleansing Body Wash in the same aromatherapy blend of your choice, handsomely packaged in a natural woven pandan box with lid that can be re-used for other purposes, and includes a natural cotton terry sisal bath pad. You can get one of these here.
