Mother’s Day is less than a week away, and Father’s Day is just around the corner. I probably speak for most moms when I say we don’t want heart shaped jewelry or another “best mom ever” mug, even though any gift from a child is spectacular.
So what do moms want? Using myself and my own mom as examples, we mostly want free time and rest, but a good foot massage is a close second. And not just once a year, but on a regular basis.
I’ve been using BOB AND BRAD Foot Massager every single day since I got it. I cannot get enough of it. It’s a “lifelike” massager with shiatsu kneading, air compression, and heat - each feature fully customizable for your unique feet. It’s available on Amazon (10% off with code BobBrad31). While you are there, check out BOB AND BRAD Q2 Mini Massage Gun (discount code BobBrad16 - review here).
How to use
Place feet inside
Turn the device on and choose your settings
Sit back and relax
The massager will turn off after 15 minutes
Check out the amazon listing above for amazing pictures of all the mechanisms inside - from front rollers to airbags.
All of the controls are conveniently located within reach, plus a small handheld remote is included if someone would rather use that. Perhaps my favorite feature is the optional, removable stand that tilts the device toward the user, allowing the person to lean back comfortably and not have to sit straight/upright.
My impressions
This is seriously the best and exactly the type of gift I would love for any holiday. I’m pretty active and love long stroller walks, working out, and moving in general. Add to that cooking, laundry, and all the other activities of daily life and the result is sore, tired feet. Nothing feels better than turning on my BOB AND BRAD Foot Massager and watching some TV or reading a book. The device is quiet and doesn’t interfere with movies / doesn’t wake up the kids.
My favorite is to use all three features - the kneading, the air compression, and the heat. The shiatsu feels like skilled fingers hitting all the right spots. I never knew air compression could feel so good - like a massage therapist squeezing the feet in the best ways. My husband expressed way too much curiosity about it, I think he’s hoping to get a turn as well.
Aside from the immediate pain relief and relaxation while using the device, I notice less pain and discomfort overall, plus better sleep (probably because it’s so relaxing before bed). I think I'll plug it in as soon as I finish this article - it’s been a long day.
Whether you are shopping for mom, dad, a parental figure, or even yourself - give BOB AND BRAD a chance. The foot massager and / or the mini massage gun are sure to bring tons of smiles both the day of the event and for years to come. Because what can be better than pain relief?
