When it comes to Mother's Day, I like to let my mom know how much she means to me by making it clear that I think she needs a little pampering. It doesn't hurt that my mom's birthday is pretty much always the same week as Mother's Day - and, in fact, the same day this year! Like any other time, gift giving is such a personal thing and the best gifts are the ones that seem to call the receiver's name, but I think that gift giving occasions that are meant to celebrate the care someone has given you through your life call for the type of gift that offers that care back. That's why I decided to do a gift guide of pamper specific gifts for mom!

If you're looking for some inspiration for what to get your mom this year, keep reading!

You guys have seen the commercials, right? I swear, after having tried everything to try and keep my feet looking like they did when I was a little kid, I've been on the hunt for something new. The last time I had a pedicure was over a year ago - and the experience was so absolutely awful that it has put me off them for a while. I know, I know... Pedicures can be amazing if the person doing it cares enough not to mangle your feet, but I'm easily turned off of things when I have a bad experience. That's why I'm a bathroom-self-pedicurist these days. I've tried the callous shavers, I love my Mr. Pumice for quick brushes of my feet in the shower, and I've even tried the dreaded cheese grater for the feet (which I DO NOT recommend because it can take healthy skin with it and leave your feet a mangled mess!) Overall, I just tend to find these sorts of things to be a lot of work, for not enough pay off and I wanted something that was a little easier and more effective. Anyway, I feel like I'd tried it all without any overwhelming success... until now. This new breed of at home foot care devices is something different and exciting, that's for sure! But how does it work???

Keep reading for my thoughts!
