Give the Mum in Your Life a Gift that is Solely for Her This Christmas
Give the Mum in Your Life a Gift that is Solely for Her This Christmas with a Subscription Box from Irish Company Mama Moments
Being a mother is a full-time job like no other, there is no clocking on or off, no weekends off or annual leave and one that means we tend to put everyone else’s needs ahead of our own. We dedicate time to making and cleaning up meals, doing the laundry, reading bedtime stories and think nothing of spending money on our children, partners and homes. But many of us struggle to prioritise time to rest and recharge and struggle to justify investing in items for ourselves.
But neglecting your own needs can have unforeseen implications as Mama Moments Founder Sarah Ryan discovered. Like many mothers, having never struggled with her mental health before, Sarah experienced post-natal depression, PTSD and anxiety that went undetected until after the birth of her second child. Speaking with a counsellor helped enormously but she noticed the biggest shift mentally and emotionally came when she began prioritising time for self-care daily and, in the hopes of helping empower other mums, she created Mama Moments Subscription Boxes.
If you are looking for a gift that mum will not be able to give to or spend on her little ones a subscription to Mama Moments are ideal, boxes are delivered bi-monthly, containing 5-6 items curated specially to encourage Mama to take time for herself. From bath salts to chocolate, all products are full sized and are different each delivery, they are sourced from small, independent, female-led, local businesses.
Many of us cannot be with friends and family right now and this may be the way for months to come, so the arrival of a Mama Moments Box every other month is a great way to let a new mum know you are thinking of her even if you cannot be there right now and has been described by recipients as ‘a hug in a box’. You can select the length of the subscription that you would like to gift from 1 month to 24, making it the gift that keeps on giving!
As well as the fantastic subscription box service, Mama Moments has also curated one off gift boxes, the Cosy and Gratitude boxes, that would make a thoughtful Gift this Christmas. And just like the subscription boxes they are designed to help make practicing daily self-care easier and are filled with products sourced from Irish owned companies.
