Mother’s Day is May 13th this year. Time to start thinking about the perfect gift for mom. Whenever I look for gifts for others, I think about what they might enjoy but wouldn’t buy for themselves. As I mom, I sometimes don’t think to ask for gifts for myself or remember to take time for myself.

Womanologie can be both a traditional gift and the gift of time. Purchasing tickets to Womanologie for the mom in your life makes a lovely, affordable present from the kids or Dad. The message Womanologie tickets as a gift sends is priceless: you care enough for mom that you want her to spend time just for herself, away from home–and that you understand she’s going to come home with some special items just for her.

Mothers often feel guilty about taking time or money for themselves. Come to think of it, the last vendor fair I went to, I bought items for both of my daughters and my son, but it was the indulgence of handmade soap that I am keeping just for myself (on a nice, high shelf in the shower that the kids can’t reach) that gives me a little thrill of joy every morning. That small purchase that I would normally forgo brightens my mood everyday.

Encourage your mom or your wife to take some time to relax, have fun, and recharge. She will appreciate the gift for the holiday and that you are thinking of her well-being afterward as well by arranging for her to have an evening all to herself and with friends.

Womanologie is June 8th at Capellaro’s Grove in Bethel, CT. Admission includes speakers, a cash bar with signature drinks, passed hors d’oeuvres, unique shopping items, and a raffle ticket. A single ticket purchased in advance is only $15 and there are discounts for purchasing two or more tickets at once.
