Mother’s Day is this Sunday! I know, it snuck up on us too.

We’ve got hundreds of handmade gifts for everyone on your list that you want to show some love to! Here’s a little gift guide for what to get “mom” this year!
All Natural Self Care & Wellness Kit
Iona Bonamis, the owner and creator behind ‘A Healthy Beginning’ - a line of 100% natural skin care, hair care, and self care products - has made Mother’s Day easy for you this year with her wellness gift sets!
These lip balm and essential oil gift set features some of her most popular products. Included in the kit is your choice of two different lip balms and an essential oil roll-on. The lip balms moisturize, soften, and plump up your lips for hours. The tinted lip balms are also naturally tinted and all of them leave a smooth finish, with no 'sticky' after feel, making your lips feel oh-so amazing! Both lip balms come in 0.25oz tins and the essential oil blend comes in a 10mL roll-on bottle!
