This post is for those of you who may have procrastinated a little in finding a special gift for the moms in your life. Because, just in case it escaped your mind… this Sunday is Mother’s Day. And all of the mamas deserve our appreciation on their special day so I’ve got your back.
Since you’ve only got a few more days to make sure you’ve found something great, I’ve partnered with The Empire Mall in Sioux Falls to share two stores who are ready to help you make the most of your procrastination. 😉
Even though you’re running a little behind, you still want to make the most of your budget while also purchasing something meaningful… and useful! The moms in our lives are often the engine of our families; they truly keep everything running smoothly. But with little time left for themselves, this is where you can come in.
Personal care packages encourage self-care and can also keep you within a comfortable price point. You can add as much or as little as you want. The first one-stop-shop for me when creating a care package is Bath & Body Works.
A quick tip to make your care package look perfect: try to play each item off of each other. Have them work together to create an easy self-care experience. I love the aromatherapy line at Bath & Body Works because it’s so relatable. Regardless of age or fragrance preference, this line will likely hit the mark.
I also like to go as far as to create a care package that is within the same color palette. It makes for a really pretty package. 😉
I chose a bath bomb, a face mask, bath gel, a body scrub, lotion, a candle and a fragrance. This is a gift that could be presented to any mom in your life {and it will take you no time at all to pull it all together in time for Sunday!}
The second store within The Empire Mall that’s perfect for last-minute gift ideas for any lady in your life is Sephora. They have an amazing staff ready to help you with any question regardless of your comfortability with beauty products. They’re the experts… let them be the experts. 😉
I chose sample sizes of some of my favorite beauty products because whoever receives these items isn’t committed to a full size of any certain product. It’s a great way to sample new things and it’s also a great way to stay within your budget for Mother’s Day.
But if you still haven’t had time to pick up a little something for your mom… well it’s your lucky day because I’m treating one of you lucky readers to a $200 Empire Mall gift card! Use it to find that perfect gift for your mama or gift it to her to splurge on whatever her little heart desires.
Either way: you’re going to want to enter for a chance to win! Follow the directions below!
Happy Mother’s Day to all of my fellow mamas out there! You’re enough.

My mom is always willing to help out. It could be just listening to me talk about my day, babysitting, or baking her famous cookies whenever I “need” them. She is the best!

What a sweetheart. Hope you both have a fabulous Mother’s Day! Thanks for sharing, Maren!
