Best Gifts for Moms on the Seacoast

[box]This guide was brought to you courtesy of our many sponsors! Thank you to those amazing businesses that chose to participate in this guide.[/box]

Here at Seacoast Moms Blog, we love providing the absolute best resources for local moms while supporting the businesses and brands that we adore. In honor of Mother’s Day month, we’ve teamed up with some of our favorite businesses to give you the Best Gifts for Moms on the Seacoast. 

Moms do the best kind of work: the snuggling, feeding, up-in-the-middle-of-the-night, teaching, disciplining, reading and so on. Showing the mothers in your life that you see them can mean the world. 

At the bottom of this page, you’ll see we are working hard to recognize special moms who go above and beyond — will you help us?

Pro Tip: Most of the moms we talk to (and we talk to a lot of moms), want to feel cherished. Clicking a “buy now” button online just doesn’t do it. Show the moms in your life that you’ve thought about them. Shop local, shop small and put some effort in so she knows you value her. If you pick something from this list, we promise you she won’t be disappointed! Plus, you’ll be supporting local businesses of the Seacoast and that is ALWAYS a good thing.

Nancy Slater has a flair for fashion, an affinity for people, a love for family and a passion for life. After witnessing multiple family members receive the devastating diagnosis of skin cancer, Nancy made it her mission to find a safe and healthy alternative to achieving the perfect glow. The natural spray tanning formula she discovered, applied by an experienced and certified clinician, provided her with the results she always wanted, and inspired her to launch her own spray tanning business. Nancy believes that you should never compromise your health for beautiful, natural looking color. What you put on your skin is just as important as what you put in your body.

After conducting extensive research she discovered a premium water based, formula with the highest quality Eco-Cert DHA, infused with organic and natural ingredients. 

Nancy’s sunless tanning studio enables people to achieve a healthy glow, without the damaging and potentially deadly UV rays the sun and tanning beds deliver. With Let’s Glow, Nancy is helping people feel, beautiful and confident, without compromising one’s health.  When you look good, you feel even better.

Let’s Glow Sunless Tanning is a custom organic spray tanning boutique where you can tan year round without exposure to damaging UV rays or toxic chemicals. All tans are applied by hand in under 15 minutes, for an even, contoured and flawless application.

Treat a mom you love to a sunless glow and she’ll feel like she’s glowing from the inside out!

  1. My good friend Rae Beth knows the value of self care and not pouring from an empty cup. I’ll nominate her because she deserves some pampering!

  2. I’d like to nominate my mom Caren Isabelle. When I gave birth a year ago to my beautiful baby girl Gianna on May 12, 2018 she has been with me every step of the way. Being a single mom is so hard, and some days seem impossible to get through but my mom has always been there to help wether it’s feeding her, changing a diaper, taking her into her room for the night, or giving her a bath- all of love and endless efforts of lending a hand deserves all the recognition in the world! I don’t know what I would do without her- she’s my best friend, an amazing mom and the best grandmother I could ever want for my daughter! We love you to the moon and back mom ❤️

  3. I nominate Siobhan Coellner. Her husband passed away nearly 10 years ago and she has been the one and only provider and parent for her family. Truly deserving of pampering!
