Including an Oprah-loved body care set.
I don’t care how cheesy this sounds, but Valentine’s Day is one of my favorite holidays (just right after Halloween). Between kitschy fashion pieces—I own way too many heart-adorned sweaters and purses—and the excuse to treat myself to luxurious beauty staples, I simply adore this holiday season.
And ever since I’ve become a mom, I’ve turned Valentine’s Day into a self-love-fest. Forget the flowers and date night with my husband, I’m all about spending me-time. So, if you’re looking for an excuse to shower yourself with love, I found 25 gifts that aren’t just practical for busy moms, but perfect for moments of self-care and self-hype. From an Oprah-loved body care set to the comfiest, yet cutest pajamas, there’s a little something for everyone. Even better? Picks start at $20.

Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez Soft Pinch Liquid Blush
Buy on for $25
Selena Gomez really cracked the code with her liquid blushes. Rich in pigment, the tiniest amount will give your cheeks a soft flush of color. Not to mention, the uplifting shade names—Worth, Joy, Happy, etc.—are like words of affirmation you can carry with you throughout the day. What’s not to love?
Nécessaire The Body Lotion Eucalyptus
$48 at Nordstrom
Nothing feels more like an act of self-care than treating your skin to a calming body lotion. I love that Nécessaire’s eucalyptus scent is refreshing, but not overpowering. Plus, its combination of vitamin C, vitamin E, and niacinamide offers deep hydration to the skin that leaves it soft and supple.

Vegamour Gro Hair Serum
$64 at Amazon
Any mom will tell you that it’s pretty common to experience hair-thinning during and after pregnancy. But I found a sense of relief when I started using Vegamour’s Gro Hair Serum—nd I’m not the only one who noticed a more voluminous mane. Fellow mom Nicole Kidman said the serum made her hair “thicker, fuller, and vibrant.”
Credo Skincare Luminous Hydration Set
$100 at Credo Beauty
Winter-dry skin is no joke, and this luminous hydration set will do the trick in just two simple steps. The cleanser includes hydrating babassu oil and soothing aloe vera leaf juice, while the moisturizer has brightening vitamin C. For an extra boost of radiance, add Martha Stewart’s go-to makeup products with Merit Beauty’s five-minute glow kit.

Sam Edelman Marley Ballet Flat
$78 at Amazon
You can never go wrong with ballet flats; whether you’re wearing baggy jeans or a lounge set, the classic shoes are stylish. But if you want to elevate your outfits even more, channel your inner Meghan Markle and snag this cap-toe pair from Sam Edelman. I can already picture myself wearing them with Spanx’s new sculpting jeans.
J.Crew Pleated Bow-Print Dress
$188 at J. Crew
Another chic look? This J.Crew bow-print dress. What I love about this style is that it screams sophistication with its pointed collars, billowing long sleeves, pleated bottom half, and romantic bow print. However, the flowy silhouette makes it oh-so-comfortable for all-day wear.

Silk’n Revit Prestige Microdermabrasion Device
$149 at Amazon
My days of getting facials became nonexistent after having a son. But after I put him to bed, that’s when I get a few moments to myself and bring the spa experience to me. Enter my beloved Silk’n microdermabrasion device. With a touch of a button, it removes my dead skin cells, improves my texture, and softens my pores.
Canopy Filtered Shower Head
$150 at Getcanopy.co
This is another home essential that feels like a spa experience. The wide shower head allows for better water pressure, while the filter is designed to, well, filter heavy metals, chlorine, and other contaminants. Since using this almost two years ago, I can attest that my scalp doesn’t feel dry or irritated.
