We don't know the exact definition of "mother," but we're pretty sure the word "selfless" is in there somewhere. Moms always seem to put their kids first -- and themselves dead last.
While we should appreciate our selfless mothers every day of the year, Mother's Day gives us an extra chance to say thanks. For all the time spent securing the bedroom from "monsters," giving advice on everything from math homework to boyfriends, and showing us unconditional love -- even when we've royally messed up.
This year, we rounded up all the gifts your mom will really love -- really beautiful, but useful, beauty products that she'd never buy for herself. These eight Mother's Day gifts are the ultimate in pampering: wonderful smelling, beautifully packaged, and worthy of a place on your mom's bathroom vanity. She'll love them all -- and the message behind them: that you want your mom to feel as loved as you do.
If your mom enjoys reminiscing on her flower power days, she'll love the reusable tin this gift comes in. But really, the best part is what's inside: three limited edition bubble wands (for extra-sudsy baths), a fruity-smelling soap, skin-softening bath bomb, a hand moisturizer, and their best-selling Ocean Salt cleanser and Dream Cream body lotion.

Guerlain L'or Radiance Concentrate with Pure Gold Makeup Base, $71
What woman doesn't love gold? This 24-carat gold-infused cooling gel acts as both a moisturizer and primer by helping skin retain moisture and tighten facial features. It's a splurge for sure, but it's also a chance for mom to pamper herself every morning.

Tocca Beauty Eau de Parfum Viaggio, $45
Seriously, how pretty is this gift set? We're sure any mom would proudly display it on her vanity. It's also great for a mom who has yet to find her signature scent. She can choose from three options: Colette, with notes of vanilla, sandalwood, musk, and incense; Giulietta, which has notes of green apple, pink tulips, vanilla orchid, and amber; and Bianca, with notes of green tea, rose, sugar, and lemon.

Dior Garden Clutch Makeup Palette for Glowing Eyes and Lips, $75
Even if your mom doesn't wear much makeup, she'll love pulling this chic compact out of her purse for touch-ups. And aside from the gorgeous case, the three eyeshadows and two lip glosses are flattering on all skin tones and perfect for a soft spring makeup look.
