Q. What’s a good gift basket to put together for my mom, who is in her late 60s? She never takes the time to pamper herself–but she deserves the best!
Dr. Linda Miles L. Ac., D.O.M. responds:
The perfect pampering gift basket to treat a woman in her late 60s should encompass a few different elements. So Mom can rest and relax, incorporate items that help create a calming ambience such as candles and lavender and bergamot essential oils, which can be used in the practice of aromatherapy. Additionally, include a couple of products that not only pamper mom but make her feel beautiful.
We recommend the following items from derma e ®
