Mother’s Day Gift Ideas for the Mom Who Needs Some ‘Me-Time’

April 9, 2025

Mother’s Day is the perfect time to show love—and let’s be real, as moms, we often forget to love ourselves first. Between the kids, work, and everything else, it’s easy to put ourselves at the bottom of the list. But this Mother’s Day, we want to encourage you to put yourself at the top of that list. Whether you’re buying a gift for yourself or suggesting ideas for someone else to gift you, it’s time to prioritize self-care. Let’s be honest, moms, you deserve it. So, we’ve come up with a few Mother’s Day gift ideas that focus on what really matters—taking care of YOU.


We know the drill—Mother’s Day comes around, and we’re busy taking care of everyone else. Maybe you’re planning a special day for your kids, juggling the kid’s schedule, or running around handling all the other demands of the day. At the end of the day, the last person we think of is ourselves. But we’ve learned that self-care isn’t selfish—it’s essential. A couple of years ago, one of us found herself feeling totally drained, unable to focus on fitness or even enjoy little moments of peace. That’s when we realized: we need to take a step back and invest in ourselves, and Mother’’s Day was the perfect opportunity to start that journey.

“Taking me time is taking time away from my kids.”

Here’s the truth: As moms, we often feel guilty about taking time for ourselves. Between the never-ending responsibilities and the pressure to be everything to everyone, it’s easy to forget that caring for our bodies and minds is just as important as caring for others. The challenge is, how do we carve out time for self-care without feeling like we’re being selfish? And how do we overcome the guilt of prioritizing fitness, self-care, and personal time?

Hey mama, how are you doing? Not the "smiling for visitors" version or the "I’m fine, just tired" response. We mean, really ; how are you?

Everyone’s asking about the baby, but we’re here to ask about you . At ABC Fit Collective, we know that those early weeks can be both beautiful and brutally hard. You’re doing your best to take care of a brand-new human while trying to recover physically and emotionally. It’s a lot—and we want you to know you don’t have to do it alone. So we put together this guide with our top 4th trimester do's and don'ts to support you during this incredibly important (and often overlooked) phase. No perfection required; just support, encouragement, and some gentle guidance.
