Vinci Hands-Free Citrus Juicer (https://VinciHousewares.com) What’s better than waking up to a glass of fresh juice each morning, and Mom would certainly appreciate an easy way to achieve this life’s pleasure. One gift-worthy way to make juicing citrus virtually effortless is with the Vinci Hands-Free Citrus Juicer. With it, Mom will have less mess and hassle. Simply slice your fruit of choice in half, place on the reamer and press the juice button. The Vinci patented automatic juicing mechanism allows for no straining to hold fruit in place.

Bathtub Caddy and Bed Desk (https://SmartIdeas4Life.com) From bath to bedtime, this is an amazing tray that’ll simplify life! Smart Ideas 4 Life has created a distinctive item that marries two products into one: a bathtub caddy and a bed desk. Since me-time moments are so precious, especially for mom, the company crafted the perfect caddy to make that time even more special—no matter the relaxation setting. Of course, a long bath is a great way to rejuvenate your skin, relax sore muscles and recharge for another busy day. Yet, the experience doesn’t need to end there as, with this try, you can continue reading your book/magazine, watching a movie on Netflix or even catch up on e-mails. If you’re in bed, you can do all the same with everything you need comfortably within reach and stable. The unique design offers a large and well-organized tray that will securely hold in place what you need, whether it be a book, magazine, iPad or laptop. It also has a cellphone slot, wine glass holder and a spot for candle and/or food plate placement. Additional side trays are perfect for bath accessories. The tray extends up to a full 42.5-inches to fit even large-sized tubs, hot tubs and even Jacuzzi tubs. The tray measures 29.5-inches when closed for easy storage. The height adjustable/collapsible folding legs reach from 8.5- to 10.75-inches when fully extended. Plus, the bathtub caddy and bed desk, available in various finishes, is eco-friendly, sturdy and easy to clean. Wine Accessories from SpryWine.com (https://SpryWine.com) SpryWine.com’s products are great giftables that any wine-loving mom will appreciate receiving on her special day. For example, the company’s Automatic Rechargeable Wine Bottle Opener is a nifty gift-worthy gadget that’ll look great on the counter and will wow your guests when you open a bottle with a bit of tech flare. No more struggling with wacky bottle openers or corks that don’t want to play nice. Made of food-grade materials and boasting full FDA certification, it automatically removes and ejects both synthetic and natural corks without the messy crumbling. This easy wine opener is durable, safe to use and makes an ideal gift for wine lovers. With this ultimate wine kitchen accessory, mom can avoid the hassle of pulling, twisting or shredding broken cork pieces. The light cordless design features an ergonomic soft grip that fits comfortably in the palm of your hand. The Automatic Wine Corkscrew removes the cork in seven seconds—without breaking the cork. It comes with a foil cutter for easily removing seals with one turn of a hand and can be stored as a base for the wine corkscrew. SpryWine.com’s Vacuum Wine Bottle Stopper is a handy tool that can pump out the excess air in the wine bottle so it can maintain its fresh and tasty state. It helps minimize wine oxidation by sucking the air out of the bottle. Simply pump the vacuum wine stopper several times until it affixes itself tightly to where the cork used to be. This will help preserve the flavor of the wine for weeks instead of just days after it’s been opened. The Vacuum Wine Stopper rubber seal fits most wine bottles and even other types of bottles with similar characteristics. You can also check the gadget’s handy date selector, so you know how long it’s been since you last accessed the bottle contents. The Wine Bottle Stopper is simple to use when both sealing and removing. Just put the stopper tightly on the top of the wine bottle, then press the top of the stopper until the piston is lowered and the wine is in a vacuum. It is also super easy to clean and dishwasher safe. One interesting décor item from SpryWine.com is the Metal Wine Bottle Rack—a stainless-steel wine bottle holder that will look amazing on a countertop, shelf or cabinet. It holds six regular-sized bottles, one in each hexagon slot, and the geometric shape and beautifully simple finish makes it a great addition to any space. The bottle rack keeps the wine in a correct horizontal alignment, helping to prevent the corks from drying out and potentially ruining valuable vintages. Remote Tarot Reading with Harvest and Moon (https://HarvestAndMoon.com) Here’s a super creative and interesting Mother’s Day gift that can both surprise and delight. Mariah Oller of Harvest and Moon is a remote Tarot Card Reader that can give accurate and precise insight on mom’s life from afar. This former Cell Biologist proffers tarot readings that are realistic and action oriented—perhaps more than one might expect when they think of traditional tarot. During my own session, Oller’s advisory and analysis of situations in my life—from relationships to children to business—were spot on. Indeed, Oller specializes in providing clarity in relationships, career choices and living situations. Don’t expect vague suggestions from her, either. She isn’t afraid to give you a very clear “yes” or “no” when you ask a question—something else that surprised and impressed me during my own session—the archived video from which was provided to me afterward for future review and reference. This is an ideal Mother’s Day option for the person that defines themselves as “spiritual in nature” or enjoys checking their horoscope at any level.. Virtual group tarot readings are also a great way to connect with loved ones during this isolating time amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. This unique activity will provide memories that are talked about for years to come. Remote Tarot readings with Ollar are a thoughtful gift for creatives, small business owners and those who could use clarity in their lives.
My Solemate 2 in 1 Pumice Stone and Callus Remover by Love, Lori (http://www.Amazon.com) Also thoughtful for Mother’s Day is the Love, Lori – My Solemate 2 in 1 Pumice Stone and Callus Remover. This revolutionary product makes at-home pedicures possible for a fraction of the cost. With lemongrass soap that soothes and moisturizes the feet, it’s the market’s most effective synthetic pumice stone. The lemongrass scent both soothes the feet and the mind, providing salon-like results in the comfort of your own home. Love, Lori’s synthetic pumice stone harnesses all the benefits of lava pumice and improves upon them––feet will be softer, and the product will last longer than with true pumice. Use daily until desired results are achieved, and then use as needed. Just soak feet for 1-2 minutes; wet the pumice stone and soap under water; scrub feet with the soap side; exfoliate and cleanse with the pumice side; and then rinse and dry stone thoroughly after each use. Mom will wonder why she spent so much time, and money, in the salon.
