My mom has shared her wisdom throughout the years, and when I've been smart, I've paid attention. Beauty-wise, one of the best things she's done for me — aside from sharing her genes, of course — is keeping me out of the sun. When I was a girl, she encouraged me to climb trees, swim, ride my bike, and do all of the things little kids do.

Hopefully you've found my Mother's Day gift guide inspiring. I've chosen a variety of bath and beauty products to suit all different types of moms and gathered them below in a six-post roundup. Keep in mind that a gift certificate to a spa or even a hair treatment at a salon will make your mother, aunt, sister, mother-in-law, grandmother, partner, or friend feel pampered and special.

If you're lucky enough to have a grandmother around this Mother's Day, don't forget to spoil her. Below you'll find a mix of traditional and hip (don't worry, I haven't picked anything too outrageous) beauty products to help make the matriarch of your family all the more gorgeous.
The two of you can sip tea or champagne, depending on just how saucy she is, and talk beauty — now that's quality bonding.

If your mom is the ultimate multi-tasker, it's probably because she's got 101 things to juggle. Appropriate beauty gifts for busy moms are ones that help her primp and relax more efficiently.
Take this new
Kiehl's Limited-Edition Gardenia Hand and Body Lotion ($19.50), for example.

There are endless amounts of fab beauty products that you can buy your mom if she's the type of hip mom who can rock any beauty look from glam to grunge.
For example, this
Sexy Mama Powder from The Balm is a brand-new, translucent setting powder with cute packaging. Heck, why not get her last year's awesome
Hot Mama Blush and the recent
Bahama Mama Bronzer as a little trio.
