Mother’s Day Gift Guide – GIVEAWAY | AD

I love Mother’s Day. It really is one of those days of the year but I can quite comfortably justify breakfast in bed, maybe pancakes. I can usually ask for a present; this year it might be some trainers and I can milk some time alone, as well as some time with the kids.

I love putting together a gift guide with some ideas for Mother’s Day. These are products I would definitely want myself and without further ado, here are some of my ideas.

Workout Gear from Amonax Official

Anyone who knows me, knows I am a huge fan of training and working out! I have recently just got over an injury but I am loving my running and getting out and about.

Perfect for Mums who are working on their fitness or strength training. These bands below retail at £8.99 and 4 different thicknesses, providing a wide range of resistance strengths. Amonax exercise bands also have added thickness, giving the bands greater durability to prevent snapping or rolling during exercises.

We were sent the Stabilo Easy Start, EASYgraph S pencils. These start at £1.18 to purchase and are an ergonomic graphite pencil. They are available in both left and right-handed versions.

Redefining SELFISH Book by Carolyn Hobdey

I’ve really tried to get back into reading recently and although I’ll never plough through as many as some, I know it’s doing me good!

So I was keen to include a book in this guide and one, which sounds like will help many Mums. Redefining Selfish As taken from the press release:

“Redefining SELFISH comes at an urgent time when women are reporting worsening levels of anxiety and growing mental health concerns, and are increasingly initiating divorce. Calls to domestic violence helplines are on the rise and, of course, the pandemic has had a massive impact. The S.E.L.F.I.S.H model created by Carolyn Hobdey guides the reader through how to give up feeling guilty about taking some time out, instead placing ourselves at the top of our ‘to do’ list and acknowledging the benefits to us and those around us of making ourselves ‘better’. Its purpose—and that of the whole Redefining SELFISH concept—is to encourage self-kindness, develop confidence and shift mindsets from harmful to helpful.”

Sounds good!
