Mother’s Day is just around the corner!  Are you ready?  It’s time to start thinking about what you’re going to do for Mom on her special day.  Perhaps she already has everything or maybe you just don’t have a clue where to start.  That’s OK.  I’ve got your back!  Here are 20 Mother’s Day Gift Ideas for the Hard to Buy For Mom, Grandma or Special Woman in your life. Maybe even a gift for yourself because YOU are SO worth it!  The day is quickly approaching so let’s get right to it.

For the Mom who loves fragrance! – Sol de Janeiro Bum Bum Carnival Extravaganza

Sol de Janeiro’s Bum Bum Cream is a luxurious all-over body cream that visibly tightens the appearance of skin. Infused with caffeine-rich Guarana extract, Cupuacu Butter, Acai Oil, and Coconut Oil, this cream leaves skin soft & radiant.  But it’s the scent that has earned this cream a cult following.  Trust me when I say, the Pistachio and Salted Caramel fragrance is one of a kind & totally addictive. Guaranteed to earn Mom at least one “Omg you smell SO good” compliment every time she wears it!  P.S. If my hubby, stepson or Shih-Tzu are reading this… I’m just sayin’!! 🙋‍♀️
