Small-Space Mama
Motherhood makes it all too easy to prioritize others over yourself, and to feel like you could use a little reminder of who you were pre-baby. For mamas living in smaller homes and apartments, it’s even easier to forgo any self-care items in the name of space-saving. Luckily, lots of sanity-restoring, indulgent self-care accessories and services don’t involve cluttering up your real estate, and we’ve done the work on curating some of our favorites below. So add them to your registry, mama, because you deserve a little TLC, too.

Spa Finder
Gift Card
Let’s be honest. If you live with a baby (or multiple children!) in a small space, the best way to practice self-care is to get out of that space and take some time for yourself. Spa Finder gift cards can be used towards a variety of services like massages, facials and more.

That’s why this journal is so great—you only need to write one sentence a day. At the end of your five year journey, you’ll have a fascinating snapshot of this time.
