Mother’s Day is a time to celebrate the incredible women in our lives — but it’s also an opportunity for us as moms to take a moment for ourselves. Between juggling daily responsibilities, family commitments, and everything in between, it’s easy to forget that we need to recharge, too.
This year at MillTown, we decided to do things a little differently. We’re prioritizing self-care in whatever way it looks like for you — whether that's a quiet moment with a favorite candle, a slow morning in the garden, a little extra time for movement, or a cozy evening of skincare and pampering.
I wanted to put together a gift guide that feels truly thoughtful, including a collection of things I genuinely love and use myself. You’ll find a few of our signature candles and bath products throughout, and some other favorite finds that I think make life a little softer, a little calmer, and a little more joyful.
Because real self-care is about creating little rituals that help you feel your best. I hope this guide inspires you to make time for yourself this Mother’s Day. You deserve it.
For the Workout Enthusiast:
If you love to move, Mother’s Day is the perfect chance to treat yourself to comfy, supportive gear that encourages more of what makes you feel strong and alive. These essentials are all about helping you stay comfortable, refreshed, and balanced.
