These luxury, sustainable and eco-friendly candles will transport mom to another world entirely. Each of Nanor’s candles are infused with natural extracts. For instance, Nanor’s INCANDESCENT scented candle ($60), with a burn time of more than 50 hours, embraces notes of amber, vetiver and bergamot. For moms on the go, Nanor also sells travel candles ($20) of smaller sizes of the same loved scents. Nanor not only sells candles but also body scrubs and bath accessories.

Franz Skincare’s Jet Plus Microcurrent Facial Dual Mask

Let’s face it: Mom does a lot for us, and sometimes she needs to simply relax and enjoy some me time. This mask is a lightweight, fast-absorbing microcurrent face mask for one of the most powerful hydration boosts. Perfect to use before applying makeup or in the evening before bed, this mask firms skin and reduces the look of pores thanks to Tissue X(R) microcurrent technology.

If mom loves to host a good party, gift her this 10-piece cheese and charcuterie board set ($50). This set features gold and marble designs and includes four easy-to-follow recipes for the perfect pairings. Serving six–eight guests, this set is available in black or white and comes with one quality wood serving board, three marble cheese knives, three gold utensils and three dipping bowls.
