Day 1 – Gifts for Busy Moms

Whether the mom in your life is a new mom, a seasoned mom, a busy working mom with full-time jobs, or a stay-at-home mom, she’s taking care of your whole family and she deserves a really wonderful gift. So let’s think – what do we know about the mom you are buying a gift for? And how can we give her gifts in a really thoughtful way?

What are her favorite things?
What is her favorite scent?
Does she like a practical gift or a more of a unique gift?
What about a physical gift versus a gift card?
What about personalized gifts or gifts with a more personal touch?

As a busy Mama myself, I love thoughtful Christmas gift ideas that either get me a much-needed break or gifts that are more of a self-care gift so I can take care of myself and my family better. As a mom, it’s hard to remember your own self care is important, too! Also, I love a good present that will help me with my daily tasks! And personally, I always love the really meaningful gifts and thoughtful presents too, like the little ones the kids pick out each year.

Where to Shop

I do a lot of my shopping online just to save time and have more selection. A lot of my links are from Amazon. I use Amazon all the time. It’s quick, it’s easy, it gets sent to my door. You feel free to shop wherever you love! I also love Etsy because it’s all small businesses and you’re supporting them!!

Gift Idea List:

I’ve broken the gifts down into three sections: Self-Care Gifts, Fun Gifts, and Practical Busy Mom Gifts. I’d suggest a gift from all three categories. 😀

Mama Self-Care Gift Ideas

1. Weighted Blanket – Helps her unwind with added relaxation benefits.

No products found.

2. Noise-Canceling Earbuds – For peaceful breaks or productive work moments.

No products found.

3. Spa Gift Set – A collection of luxurious lotions, bath salts, and candles for at-home relaxation.

No products found.

4. Portable Massager – Target sore muscles with a hand-held or neck and shoulder massager.

No products found.

5. Subscription to an Audiobook Service – Enjoy books while multitasking. I love to cook and clean and exercise while I listen to an audiobook. I use Audible and it’s my favorite! To get an Audible gift subscription you can either use an Amazon gift card or go straight to Audible and get an e-gift option.

No products found.

6. Quick-Dry Hair Towel or Blow Dryer Brush – Speeds up her morning routine.

No products found.

7. Sleep Mask and Luxury Pillow Set – For improved rest and relaxation.

No products found.

8. Mindfulness or Meditation App Subscription – A gift of relaxation and stress relief. I love the Calm app and use it all the time!

9. Massage Gift Certificate – A real treat for relaxation and self-care.This will have to be a local purchase. I would suggest a facial and a massage for a Mama to have an afternoon of pampering.

Fun Mama Gifts

Digital Photo Frame – A digital picture frame is so great.

No products found.

2. Ninja Creami – This is an ice cream maker. But it makes pints! AND it makes all KINDS of ice cream. You can add in toppings. You can make healthy ice cream. This is on my Christmas list this year!

No products found.

3. High-Quality Reusable Coffee Mug – Keeps her coffee hot on busy days. I have linked to my Yeti cup here. I LOVE this mug.

No products found.

4. Comfortable Loungewear Set – Soft, cozy clothes for relaxation!

No products found.

5. Journal or Gratitude Journal – A beautiful space to jot down thoughts and reflections. Or a motherhood journal.

No products found.

6. Personalized Jewelry with Kids’ Names or Birthstones – A sweet, sentimental keepsake. This is a link to Etsy with a general search for birthstone jewelry for moms. There are SO many choices and they are all fantastic.

7. Personalized Family Name Sign or Art – We have one of these and I love it! I linked here to Etsy so you can find one that fits your style!

8. Coffee Shop Gift Cards – Whether it’s Starbucks or your local coffee shop, help Mama keep herself fueled with caffeine!

9. Personalized Tote Bag – There are so many cute bags you can get personalized these days!!

Viv & Lou – They have FABULOUS tote bags and you can have them personalized with monograms or with whatever your favorite saying is!
Marleylilly – They have SO many adorable bags and you can get them all monogrammed!
Personal Creations – These beach bags are ADORABLE and I love them so much!
Etsy – I LOVE Etsy and adore that you can support small businesses!

10. Stitch Fix – I think this is super fun! I have never tried Stitch Fix but it looks so fun. It’s a subscription service where you give them your clothing sizes and preferences and then they send you an entire head-to-toe outfit each month. You can choose the pieces you love and then send others back that you don’t want. It looks so fun. I don’t mind shopping for clothes but I don’t have a ton of time. And I have a hard time putting outfits together. This solves both issues! This would be a gift card that you’d get for a mama and then let her do the rest!

Practical Busy Mom Gifts

PSA – I’d make sure Mama has asked for something like this for Christmas before you pick from this category. LOL. As in – do not buy your wife a vacuum cleaner for Christmas. LOL!

1. Apple Watch – I do love my Apple Watch!

No products found.

2. Smart Home Assistant – Voice-controlled tech to set reminders, play music, or even check the weather hands-free. We have an Amazon Show and I love her!
