Contest Giveaway - Win a LUSH Mother’s Day Box

Other posts by MountainMama

Have you bought your mom a gift for Mother’s Day yet? (It’s Sunday, May 11, by the way.) If you haven’t, Traveling Mamas just might have you covered!

We’re giving away this super-cool, ultra-fabulous box of goodies from LUSH fresh handmade cosmetics. It’s the “Mum Gift Set” valued at $47.95 and filled with the following:

  • Comforter Bubble Bar Slice: Drop it in the bath for some fruity bubbles with a scent of cassis and cyprus oils.
  • Dream Cream: Amazingly silky body lotion that I’ve used all winter long to soothe my dry skin. I have peace of mind using it on my kids, too, since its made from all-natural ingredients — like all of the LUSH products.
  • Sakura Bath Bomb: Another bath product that fizzes and dissolves to release jasmine and orange-blossom scents.
  • Lily Savon Soap: Pretty flowery fragrance that has been making me smile in the shower all week.
  • Celestial Moisturizer: A very light cream for the face; my trial-size container has found a home in my travel toiletry bag. I’m thinking I need to buy a larger tub and make this my permanent facial moisturizer.
  • Each Peach (and Two’s a Pair) Massage Bar: My husband and I sampled this the other night. We really dig the LUSH massage bars: they’re easy to rub on each other for some insta-massage oil with less mess. However, this one was just too citrusy for us. We smelled like Lemon Pledge. That said, my skin felt silky smooth the next day.

How to win this fabulous prize? Just leave a comment telling us a) how you would spend your ideal Mother’s Day or b) how you plan to celebrate Mother’s Day with your mother or wife.

Leave your comments until 11:59 p.m. (EST), Monday, May 5. And I’ll draw a name randomly, and post the winner’s name on Tuesday morning, May 6. Giveaway open only to residents of the United States. Sorry, relatives of Traveling Mamas: you can’t enter either.

And if you haven’t entered our Tots on the Go giveaway, get on over there and leave a comment.

Good luck!

    NOT cooking, cleaning, washing clothes, watching stuff on TV I hate. Just reading and relaxing.

    My younger daughters live in Colorado, my oldest is in college in Boston, my mom lives in Texas and I live in California. So I would spend my ideal Mother’s day with all of them. Luckily My oldest is out of school and in Colorado so I am taking an extra day off work and cross my fingers that American Airlines/ America West will get me to Colorado so I will be able to spend Mother’s day with my girls.

    Brunch w/family, then nice bkie ride, followed by dinner out. Reading an a beach somewhere wouldn’t be bad either….

    I will be spending the day with my mother, my grandmother, and my 5 children. We start the day off with breakfast at grandma’s… then have a picnic lunch at the park… and end the day with dinner at my house. Every year we each pick a meal for the day… and we are in charge of one meal each. It works out great and we always have a wonderful time!!

  13. Lindsay L says:

    I would love to sleep in past 9am, then have a nice breakfast with my family. The rest of the day I just want to spend with my boys.

    We are having a good old fashioned tea party for my mom and includes all the kids (theirs is little pb&j with cocoa and marshmallows) we are have scones, tea sandwiches, and lots of tarts..yum….we never forget our hats!

    This mother’s day is going to be a tough one for my mother. She just lost her mother on the 24th of April. She was extremely close to her so she’s been having major issues dealing with her death.

    My ideal mother’s day would be to get my mom out of the house & have a nice shopping spree & possibly a nice trip to the spa to help her relax and get her mind off of things for a while.

    Winning these goodies would be the icing on the cake. I really hope to spoil her.

    I want to spend the day with my family hiking, playing miniature golf, or otherwise having fun together. Then I want to come home and have a few hours of alone time while someone else makes my favorite dinner - lasagne!

  21. Barbara Baker says:
    April 30, 2008 at

    Unfortunately I wont be doing anything for mother’s day. My husband will be working and we only have one car. My mother and sisters did away with me many years ago and my husbands wonderful mother past away 9 years ago…my husband still hurts (which I wouldnt blame him) because she was such a great woman. If anything we will be visiting her site for a few hours; maybe just sit around and read a book beside her. That always makes my husband a little better (and me too).

  22. taryn says:
    April 30, 2008 at

    Ideally I’d go on a nice nature walk with my husband & daughter and then visit with my mother & grandmother. Nice & easy.

  23. Dana says:
    April 30, 2008 at

    I had such a perfect Mother’s day last year, it would be pretty difficult to beat a spa day with a six year old followed by hiking in the mountains with the entire family! I suppose if I could add anything to it, it would be a bit more time in the morning to enjoy some coffee and conversation.

    My mom and I are having a “Pamper Day”. We’re going to go get manicures and pedicures. Then we’re going to have lunch at a nice restaurant and be waited on. We aren’t going to touch a pot or pan all day.

  31. Meredith Peters says:
    April 30, 2008 at

    I am spending this Mother’s Day recovering from a tummy tuck scheduled for 3 days prior-how appropriate!-and watching The Sopranos ,the 1st five years on DVD which I’ve never seen! and eating Chocolate! It’s all about ME this year!

  32. Sareda Hagenah says:
    April 30, 2008 at

    Well, the first thing I’m going to do is make her breakfast in bed. I’ve done this every year, since I was about five.
    Next, I usually do little things for her, like cleaning her house and such.
    Then me and my brother usually take her out to a spring-y restaurant. Like “Zinc” or “Rouge”.
    Anyway, She would really like this!

  33. Mary says:
    April 30, 2008 at

    A nice long hot bubble bath…. no cleaning or cooking and then calling my grandmother and stepmom and wishing them a Happy Mother’s Day.

    My baby is due the week of Mother’s Day so I could possibly be spending the day in the delivery room - that would be a great mother’s day gift!

  37. Shannon Baas says:
    April 30, 2008 at

    Ideal would be taking my mom out for a nice dinner. However, I’m about 700 miles from her, so not likely thats going to happen so sending her some flowers

  38. Margaret Smith says:
    April 30, 2008 at

    Thanks for this giveaway. My ideal Mothers Day would be to spend a really nice family day doing something special, like the zoo, fishing or something like that.

  39. jeanne says:
    April 30, 2008 at

    I would like to stay in bed a little later than usual and do absolutely nothing after getting up except greeting my 3 children when they arrive. That would be my perfect day.

  40. amira says:
    April 30, 2008 at

    We always make sure that my mom sleeps in on mothers day and we make her meals…she loves that compared to flowers!

  41. Dee says:
    April 30, 2008 at

    I am going to go out to my mother’s house after working a 12 hour night shift as a nurse and go to church with my family. I also gave my mom a coach bag for her birthday and mother’s day gift. She loved it! She loves LUSH just as much. She bought me lush products when I was sick in the hospital. I hope to return the favor!

    Truly? My ideal mother’s day would be spent at a luxury spa all day and have the works done (facial, massage, manicure, pedicure, etc, etc, etc) WITHOUT my cell phone and my kids are safe and sound with hubby.

  44. Maggie Mannwieler says:
    April 30, 2008 at

    I hope to have all of my grandchildren with me for Mother’s Day! All girls, all adorable. The best Mother’s Day was the tea party I organized one year for my Mom and all of my sisters and sister-in-laws. I put out little finger sandwiches, three different teas, white tablecloths, the whole works. Afterwards we all drove to a tea house shoppe and purchased tea cups and saucers. And we purchased a tea pot for our Mom. We all wore fancy hats and gloves. It was great.

  51. Ann Babenco says:
    April 30, 2008 at

    I guess I’d like to spend a day in heaven with my Mom and find out how she likes it there and converse with her over all the things in life that she taught me. I’d tell her I wished I knew then what I know now…that she was right!

  52. Tina says:
    April 30, 2008 at

    I would fly me and my daughter to the state where my mom lives, we would have dinner at a Mexican restaurant and go shopping together.

  53. Johannah B says:
    April 30, 2008 at

    Likely mother’s day will be here with me cooking (which I love to do and do willingly) with my sons… but they do have their own lives, so maybe just hubby and me — and that’s fine too!!

  54. Don Schraier says:
    April 30, 2008 at

    I’m going to try to get my wife away somewhere. Getting her away from the computer is a huge problem. Your gift would make a nice addition.

  55. Aisling says:
    April 30, 2008 at

    All the kids are away from home, so phone calls will be (had better be) coming in. DH will “pamper” me by cooking breakfast and taking me out for dinner and letting me relax all day.

    Hello! Short of the African safari I want to go on someday to view the animals, Mother’s day is the way that I love it!
    My mother passed 8 years ago. My sister is ten years older than me. We are very close and she is my best friend. Her daughter has our family over to celebrate the special day! Andrea does all of the cooking and we exchange fun gifts. I would love to win this lovely gift set for my sister! She is the Godmother to both of my sons. Thanks for the chance to win. Cindi

    We’ll probably go out to dinner with my son and daughter-in-law and her parents. Then I’d like to check out a greenhouse to see what’s new this season.

  59. SelimaCat says:
    April 30, 2008 at

    I’d like breakfast out–there’s a nearby restaurant that has a Bloody Mary bar on Sundays–followed by a long bike ride with my husband and daughter. While she’s napping, I’d like to take a bubble bath and a nap myself, then go for a walk in the woods after she wakes up. Dinner would be in, as a family, despite her early bedtime, and we would get carryout Cajun food. Perfection.

  60. Pauline M says:
    April 30, 2008 at

    My mother loves to gamble, but living in Utah, we are severly restricted in the availability of casino’s - so every year, I take my mother to the bingo parlor so she can play. Mind you, this is not very fun for me, but she absolutely loves it, and, well, she totally deserves it.

  61. Cheryl English says:
    April 30, 2008 at

    I am going to the Circus with my mother. I am 48 years old, but at any age, the Circus is alot of fun. After the Circus, I will be taking my mother out for dinner. Thanks for the Mother’s Day giveaway.

  62. Carol Harrity says:

    My ideal Mothers Day this year will be having my husband of 30 plus years home from the hospital following open hear surgery. Please say a prayer for him.

  63. Shay says:

    I usually spend mother’s day with my mother-in-law not what I would like, but what my husband wants.

  64. Lesha says:
    April 30, 2008 at

    My Mother’s Day will probably be simple yet nice. I’ll spend it at home with my son. I might go and rent a movie. :)

  65. Dana says:
    April 30, 2008 at

    My ideal mother’s day would start with the Sunday paper and breakfast in bed, followed by a long hot shower, and a day of scrapbooking in my craft room with an endless supply of chick flicks. Then maybe spend some time in the yard with my kids, planning our summer garden and planting some vegetable starts! Oh, and an endless supply of latte’s!

  66. rachel says:
    April 30, 2008 at

    I love lush!!

    My ideal mother’s day would involve lots of silence, followed by shopping with my best girlfriend, then dinner with my family, and then my mother in law would magically be here to babysit while me and my husband get to spend some time alone! Total fantasy though! lol.

    You should totally pick me(even though it’s random) because you’re choosing a winner on my birthday!

  67. Susan Chester says:
    April 30, 2008 at

    My ideal mothers day would be having nothing to do except enjoy my children and grandchildren. A nice relaxing brunch and some time at my home with them sounds wonderful.

  68. Ann says:
    May 1, 2008 at

    My mom lives in Belgium so we’ll not be spending mother’s day together. I’m spending my mother’s day with my family. My 3 kids are going to spoil me that day but I’m not allowed to know what’s going to happen. It’s top secret. Thanks for the great giveaway!

  69. amanda zeller says:

    I would love to tske my mom to a day spa and pamper her. She has adopted two children from our family that had no one to take care of them so she really desirves it. Shes a great woman.

  70. Danielle says:
    May 1, 2008 at

    Ideally I would love to take my mom to the salon & we both have our hair & nails done (we both really need it) but it is just not possible this year. I will most likely have her over for lunch & some home made gifts from the kids.

    Picking up a take out meal someplace and going to a park with play equipment for the grandchildern to play on while the adults spend time with them or visit with each other. This way the little ones mothers also have a day off from cooking and noone has a house to clean because people are coming over.

  109. Naomi says:
    May 1, 2008 at

    Sleeping in would be fantastic but not likely with a 9 month old and 4 year old. But maybe daddy can take them out of the house and I can get an extra hour or two…

  110. Denise B. says:

    My ideal Mother’s day would start with watching 4 episodes of “Gilmore Girls”. I would work out for a couple of hours and then have lunch at the Middle Eastern restaurant. Great giveaway! Count me in. bebemiqui82(at)yahoo(dot)com

    My ideal mother’s day would be a day at the bookstore followed by a relaxing massage and pedicure, then off to the coffee house for a relaxing drink. I don;t know how I am going to be spending it. Mother’s working and Mother in Law is ill.

  113. Scarlett says:
    May 1, 2008 at

    Hopefully I’ll be able to go home for Mothers’ Day, but I probably won’t. So the following weekend when I WILL be there, I plan to take my mother and sister (who became a mother nine days ago) out to dinner (I have lots of good memories of us in Mexican restaurants) and then we’ll watch both of the Ace Ventura movies, which we all found hilarious when I was, like, ten. I just remember the three of us laughing hysterically at them. My father didn’t watch them with us because he never found them funny, so it was just the three of us.

    My daughter is doing it right for me. She has rented a beach house on the North Carolina shore and she and I will be toasting “motherhood” with bloody mary’s and then spending the rest of the day enjoying her daughters. Dad and Papa will do the cooking and babysitting!

  115. Holly says:
    May 1, 2008 at

    I am spending the day with my 5 son’s and my hubby and my own mom. We will start with church, the boy’s will fix dinner and do the cleanup and we will share quality time!

  116. Kristinia says:
    May 1, 2008 at

    My ideal Mother’s Day is with a home made breakfast made by hubby and my son, a trip to the park for a picnic, and some quality family time!

    We will go out to eat somewhere with excellent food. No cleanup and a nice leisurely meal with time for a great dessert.

  120. Kirsten says:

    I would spend it having my family over eating pizza and watching movies all day and eating strawberry fudge pie. Oh,yeah, that IS what I am doing.

    Every year my husband and our daughters go to Soulard in St. Louis. We visit the Farmers Market and have lunch. Then we go down the street to the St. Louis Botanical Garden and spend a few hours there. On the way back to the car we stop off at Gringo Jones, an eclectic store in the neighborhood. Then, we hit the St. Louis Zoo. We’ve been doing it for years. If it rains, we go to the St. Louis Art and History Museums.

  125. Nora Scott-Platt says:
    May 2, 2008 at

    Well I will be working as some of us in the healthcare field need to be taking care of other people that are ill. So I do spend the day with several moms and their families. My own family gives me comfort and joy by hugging me and telling me they love me.

  126. Christina DeMarco says:

    My ideal Mother’s Day would be spent sitting on Deck 4, in the middle of the ocean, with a good book in hand, on the Disney Magic. That being said, I’ll take a trip to Cold Stone Creamery for an ice cream too! lol.

  132. Becca O says:

  135. Hazel says:

    I am getting up early to make my mom a Mothers Day cake. Then she says we never spend quality time together so I am setting up the board games. She loves playing games. Then later I am ordering her favorite food (chinese) so she doesn’t have to cook. It will be a Happy and Laid Back Moms day here =)

  139. Summer says:
    May 2, 2008 at

    My ideal Mother’s Day would be a expense free shopping spree to all the great mommy stores followed by a fabulous weekend retreat to an island spa - with hubby and kids of course…

  140. Molly Capel says:
    May 2, 2008 at

    If I could plan out my mother’s day, I would get to sleep in, go out to breakfast with my mom, spend the day shopping at the thrift stores, and come home to a homecooked dinner with my family.

  141. anne says:

    We would spend quality time together. The entire family just relaxing and taking it easy. An outdoor meal in the backyard patio.

    I would like to stay in bed as late as I want. Then a leisurely bath…Then Mimosas & cresents. Then later go to Red Lobster…And hope I hear from my girls at some point during the day. They’ve rarely given me anything. AS long as I hear from them that makes my day complete.

    I will be spending Mothers Day with my little boy. We traditionally go to a topiary garden nearby for the day. He’s grown to look forward to it!
    I will also gather flowers from my mothers yard and place on her grave. It’s all I can do.

    What a wonderful giveaway! I’m spending Mother’s Day with my mom and my MIL. And this is my first year as a mom! We’ll be traveling that day, so we’ll have a big meal with both families, and lots of time playing with our five-month-old!

  161. Danai says:

    I’d love to spend the day at home, reading the paper, enjoying a late breakfast and then cooking on the grill later in the day.

  162. Emmy T says:

    I hope my husband takes care of the kids all day, so I can read in bed till noon, eat junk, and watch movies all day!

  163. shannon m says:
    May 3, 2008 at

    I would love to just have an opportunity to stay in bed and read a book right after I take a shower and stay in there until the hot water runs out! I haven’t done that since before my son was born!

  164. Becky Grady says:
    May 3, 2008 at

    My ideal mothers day would be to spend it with my mother. Unfortunately, she lives 1,000 miles away. I’ll have to settle for sending her flowers and calling her. It will be nice to spend the day with my kids. We’ll probably go out to dinner.

  165. Heidi says:

  167. Susan says:
    May 3, 2008 at

    I plan on spending the day with my kids, enjoying them, and loving the time with them. I also plan on remembering my mom, all she was to me and all she had done and, yes, missing her.

    I dream big.

    May 4, 2008 at

    I’ll be spending Mother’s Day cooking for my mom, even baking her some cupcakes, and I’m excited to get to give her a book she’s been wanting! Would be nice to give her that box of Lush, too. ;)

  172. ariane says:
    May 4, 2008 at

    since my mom is out of the country, i would still give importance to mother’s day. i would send her a special mother’s day card so that in some ways, she would appreciate my effort and she would know that we loved her very much.

  173. Suzanne Bastien says:
    May 4, 2008 at

    How would I spend my “perfect” mothers day?

    - Breakfast in bed. (or at MiMi’s Cafe)
    - Manicure and Pedicure (with my girls)
    - Cards and chocolate
    - Hair appoinment (To hide my grey)
    - Lunch at Panera Bread
    - Dinner at Mataam Fez (Morrocan Rest. here in town)
    - A few drinks with friend at the Cork house.
    - Bed sheets washed, bed made and a hot bath with scented bubbles before sliding into my bed.

  174. Michelle says:
    May 4, 2008 at

    My ideal Mother’s Day would involve waking up to a perfectly clean and neat house. I would spend the day with my family, playing games, going for a hike, shopping, or curled up watching movies. I would love to not have to make any meals, but I wouldn’t have to go out…take-out would be just fine…anything, so long as I didn’t have to mess things up in the kitchen for that one day. I am pretty sure that Coke and good quality chocolate would have to figure into the equation somewhere. Though I am not one for gifts, if I had to choose something, it would be a new pair of fun pajamas or some decorative dish towels.

  175. Shaina P says:
    May 4, 2008 at

    My ideal Mother’s day, would involve NO diapers, and a relaxing afternoon of shopping with my own mom, who I miss. My gifts would include a year of free maid service, a weekend spa getaway with my hubby and PERFECTLY behaved children for a day. :) (I mean, while I’m dreaming here can I get a new Toyota Sienna, and personal trainer?)

  176. Paula Harmon says:
    May 4, 2008 at

    Well, my breakfast in bed should come on CLEAN dishes. Last year they used stuff out of the dishwasher that didn’t run yet. (I didn’t say anything!) and I would like to go back to sleep after I eat.

    I have no idea how I will spend Mother’s Day with my mom! We have a strained relationship. I know that on Saturday is my little cousin’s 4th birthday party, and usually that doubles as a Mother’s Day get-together, leaving the actual Mother’s Day Sunday empty and sufficiently awkward! I’m guessing my mom will spend the day as she normally does, I will give her a present and a hug, maybe we’ll go out to breakfast, and after that, it will just be a normal day. :(

  194. Alana says:

    This is my first mothers day as a mom! That’s good enough on my end of the celebration, but I want to take my mom to a book store and coffee shop. She loves books and coffee, but she has agoraphobia. My ideal day would be to get her out and have her actually enjoy it!

    I plan on taking my mother shopping and letting her pick out an outfit. We enjoy just spending time together with my daughter. My hubby and my dad hate going shopping so we like to do that by ourselves and just enjoy one another’s company.

    My ideal Mother’s Day would be to spend the whole day at the zoo or park with my 2 boys. Then maybe have hubby cook a nice supper and watch a movie after the kids go to bed. Simple.

    I would love to have some family time awat from home-maybe play with the kids in the park and go out for ice cream, then I’d like to have time to myself. Maybe do some of the hobbies I like to do, but don’t get a chance with little ones around.

    My ideal mother’s day is sleeping in - something I haven’t gotten to do in about 2 years. Then lounging around in my PJs all day, eating and relaxing, and having my husband make me his famous risotto. And spending a great a day with my little girl. That would be the best!

    My ideal Mother’s Day would be spent with my Mom, she lives a whole ocean away and I haven’t been able to spend a Mother’s Day with her in over 10 years. The day wouldn’t be sans baby though, there is no way she’d miss a chance to be with her grandaughter!

  246. reeva says:

    An ideal Mother’s Day begins with a good night’s sleep. So, it would begin with Calvin sleeping until 5am without waking up hungry in the middle of the night. Then, I’d enjoy sweet potato pancakes, fruit salad, and turkey bacon for breakfast with my husband, prepared BY my husband. Next, I’d spend a couple hours at the local salon & spa getting a facial/massage/great hairstyle. Next, we’d all drive somewhere that felt remote but wasn’t too far from home to enjoy a fun afternoon picnic amidst a warm, nourishing sun, majestic trees, and fragrant flowers. My husband and I would talk our son on a walk in this paradise park and enjoy the lovely day. Finally, to end the day, my husband would sing to me and my son would hug my neck and cover my cheeks with slobbery baby kisses.

    Unfortunately I can no longer spend the Mother’s Day I would love to spend. It would be with all my kids & grandkids. Unfortunately my youngest son is no longer in this world, so instead I would like to be with the other kids & grandkids.

    I need a Mothers day gift and she would love this gift. Mother will receive a phone call because she lives in Indiana and I live in Florida. She loves the phone calls. Does not like flowers because they get ugly so fast.

    May 5, 2008 at

    We’re hosting a dessert and coffee party for my mom and my husband’s mom. It’s unusual to have something at night that’s not the traditional Mother’s Day lunch or brunch….and I think they like that idea. I’m doing a “music of the heart” theme with sheet music nosegays and more! It’ll be fun. Thanks for the giveaway! ( meg.wilson@gmail.com )

  252. Ellie says:

    My ideal Mothers Day would be sleeping in, breakfast in bed, a pedicure, and the afternoon playing with my family outside… maybe a hike or a picnic.

    I’m just hoping to make it through Mother’s Day….This would have been my first, but we lost our pregnancy this past November. I don’t mean to be a Debbie Downer…but I’ll be glad when Mother’ Day is over. I’ll still try to enjoy the time with my mom and mother-in-law. Thanks for the giveaway…it would definitely make my “mother’s” day!

  257. Eloise Carlson says:

    What would make a memorable Mother’s Day for me would be for my daughter and son-in-law, granddaughter, and greatgranddaughter to drive up the coast to Big Sur, and treat me to a wonderful lunch at a restaurant overlooking the crashing waves of the Pacific Ocean.

    I am a mother of 3 young children all under the age of 10! This year we are planning to invite my Mother over for an early dinner and just spend some QUALITY time with the entire family together. To me, the best memories made, and the special moments remembered are always the simplest plans and gifts. Spending a late Sunday afternoon having a simple home cooked meal having loved ones surrounding you is like heaven on earth! I have enjoyed reading everyone’s comments on how they are spending their day - so Happy Mother’s Day to all!

    I cannot imagine anything better than spending the day at a spa being tended to and beautified all day! This would definitely include a massage, body polish and mani/ pedi. I could then go back to being a full-time mom, only much more cheerfully!

    Ideal?…That would be waking up to nurse my 5mo daughter and then my husband saying, “When you finish nursing, I will take care of her for the time that she is up. You get some good rest.” Then, instead of the 2hrs that she is usually up, it would be 4hrs of deep, wonderful sleep!

About 5pm head to my Mother’s to give her my gift I bought for her and wish her the Happiest of Mother’s Day, stay there oh about 2-3 hours then back home to a nice lavender creme bubble bath and scented lavender candles all about in the bathroom, soak about an hour then relax with soft music on the bed till I fall asleep
