Featured Best Gifts for Moms
We play favorites and here are some stars on our Moms Gift Guide this year.
Souper Cubes Ultimate Gift Set
We LOVE Souper Cubes! This bundle is an ideal gift for any foodie or home cook.
These sturdy silicone trays make for a very organized and happy freezer! They’re freezer-safe, oven-safe (yes, you can bake a meal directly in it!), and even dishwasher-safe.
Each set includes four trays designed to freeze food in portioned amounts, comes in aqua, charcoal, or cranberry (new!) colors, and includes:
- 2T/1oz tray
- half-cup tray
- 1-cup tray
- 2-cup tray
- 4 interchangeable lids
Meal Prep Cookbooks
These cookbooks are the ultimate freezer cooking resources. Over 42,000 copies sold! Not only are they beautifully photographed but they are incredibly practical and helpful.
Caraway Bakeware Set
Mom will love this bakeware set that’s not only high quality and safe, but beautiful! It includes 11 pieces, all featuring a toxin-free ceramic surface, so you can get to baking goods without any of the bads. Sets include storage organizers to keep your kitchen tidy.
Looking for Smaller Gifts?
Browse our through our favorite kitchen tools!
These are the kitchen gadgets we can’t live without. Many of them are under $15!
Gifts Under $25
49-in-1 Small Screwdriver Set
Perfect stocking stuffer or addition to a gift. This would be awesome for all of those tiny toys that require batteries. Under $10!
Food Chopper
This little kitchen gadget has gone viral. For good reason! It speeds up big chopping jobs and is easy to use no matter your cooking skills.
Huggie Hoop Earrings
So cute and affordable. Very popular right now too. Silver would be cute as well!
Sling Bag
I have this exact one and love it! It’s the perfect size for the on-the-go mom. Functional enough for sports events but cute enough for a light out.
Goodr Sunglasses
These are high on my list this year. I have many friends and family members who swear by this brand. They are lightweight, stay on your face, and don’t bounce when you run. This color choice is a bit bold but they have plenty of neutral options too!
Corkcicle
I’ve had mine for a year and use it way more than glass. It’s insulated and stemless and perfect for white wine! These things are legit. There was still ice in mine after 12 hours!
Apple Device Charger
We have this exact one. It’s nice to throw my devices on it at night and let them all charge up in one place. Works better than the standup one.
Screen-Touch Gloves
Not sure how I’ve made it this far in life without some touchscreen gloves, but I have. If you know someone who is still pulling from their 2005 glove stockpile, then consider helping them upgrade to some gloves that they don’t have to take off to use their phone. Their chilly fingers will appreciate it!
Neck & Shoulder Wrap
I think this is a GREAT gift. It’s so soft and comforting. Warm it up and let it nurture those tight shoulders and neck muscles.
Key Ring
My sister got me one of these last year. I didn’t think I’d use it. Turns out, I was wrong. It’s been super handy! It slips around your wrist and makes it easy to find your keys in your purse.
Silk Pillowcase
Good for your hair. Good for your skin. It’d be a delight to sleep on this every night. I’ve heard that this pillow is amazing if you want to make this gift extra special.
3-in-1 Avocado Tool
I have this exact one and it’s AWESOME. I’ve yet to find a tool that gets the pit out of an avocado easier.
Pom Pom Beanie Hat
This would go well with anything! Lots of different colors available but I like this cream one.
$25-$50 Gifts
Dual Pouch Wristlet
This wristlet comes with two zippered pouches to keep small items in place while you’re on the move. Great for cash, AirPods, credit cards, etc. Very popular right now!
Candle Warmer
I love this idea! You get the benefits of any candle without the risk of forgetting to blow out the flame. I has a timer and works with big and small candles of any type. It’s cute too!
Czy Yoga Leggings
Move over Lulu! These leggings are just as comfortable and 1/3 of the price. I have 3-4 pairs. Make sure to get the Butterluxe kind.
Weighted Vest
As women are learning the importance of resistance training, they are realizing wearing a weighted vest is an easy win! This one has great reviews and is on my list this year.
Back Massager
You guys. This WORKS. And it feels awesome. As someone who has tight back and shoulder muscles pretty much 95% of the time, I can whole-heartedly tell you that this has been a godsend. I think this is a GREAT gift idea!
Electric Griddle
One of my (Rachel’s) favorite gifts last year was my non-stick, non-toxic electric griddle. My whole family uses it to make eggs, bacon/sausage, French Toast, pancakes, grilled cheese, paninis, stir-fries, and more.
Here are a few reasons I like this particular one:
- Easy to clean–fully immersible in water when heating element is removed.
- Textured ceramic non-stick surface that doesn’t have teflon on it (which can be harmful when it begins to scratch off)
- Large surface and heats up very quickly
- Easy to store with sheet pans & cutting boards (when you remove the legs, which unclip easily)
- Great price (under $50 if you apply the current coupon on Amazon)!
Personalized Stacking Rings
My husband got me a set of these a few years ago and I LOVE them.
Laminator
OK OK, I know this sounds nerdy but I have LOVED having a laminator. I’ve used it for chore charts, special art projects my kids have made, pictures, and so much more. Just one of those fun things to have on hand! Make sure to pick up some laminating sheets too.
Family Picture Calendar
Create a calendar with pictures of your family! What mom wouldn’t love more pictures of their family displayed at home or in the office? Shutterfly allows you to start with any month making this a perfect gift for any time of year!
There are more photo gifts available than ever. If mom wouldn’t want a calendar, what about a mug, puzzle, canvas, or blanket with photos?
Weekender Bag
I have this exact one! It’s so cute & functional. It’s also been really durable for such an amazing price point. Perfect carry-on size for traveling. Has a shoe compartment too!
Handheld Steamer
While this might not be the most exciting gift, I promise this little thing is amazing! No more ironing boards, steaming takes a lot less time and energy. She never knew how much she wanted this one.
Yeti Coffee Mug
I use this almost every single day. My husband liked mine so much that he got one of his own! There are lots of colors to choose from too! No need to re-warm that coffee when using this.
Owala Water Bottle
I like this brand more than my Stanleys!
Owala tumblers are very popular lately too.
Audible Subscription
I LOVE this idea.
Amazon will send your gift recipient an email on the day you choose along with redemption instructions, or allow you to print and give it directly based on the option you select. That way you can wrap it up if you want.
(Current Audible members will receive all credits from a redeemed gift membership at once. Their current plan will not be extended or interrupted.)
$50-$100 Gifts
Moccasin Slippers
These have been on my wish list for a while! High quality and will last forever.
Instant Pot + From Freezer to Cooker
Buying an Instant Pot is a great idea, but there is a learning curve. A great idea is to pair it with our newest cookbook, From Freezer to Cooker. Not only is this cookbook BEAUTIFUL, but it’s also very practical and useful. Every recipe is freezer friendly and can be made in the slow cooker or the Instant Pot. It really is a perfect gift for moms!
Custom Watercolor House Portrait
A watercolor house portrait created from a photo of your choice is such a unique, thoughtful gift for any age! Gift one of Rachel’s custom paintings to a first time home owner or as a way to create a lasting memory of a childhood home.
The portraits are painted with high-quality watercolors and micron ink pens on 140 lb cold press watercolor paper.
Use Thrivinghome10 when checking out for 10% off!
Note: Get your order in fast! Custom house portraits can take 2-3 weeks to create. If you place an order after the Christmas delivery cutoff date, Rachel Groff Designs has some options, though. You can order a gift certificate to be redeemed at a later date, or give a proof of purchase for the recipient to open.
Photo Printer
Moms have 1,000 photos on their phone but usually, only a handful are actually printed out. This is one idea to help get hard copies of their favorite pictures off their phone and into frames or on the fridge. No ink cartridges required! Grab a set of paper so you can print right out of the box.
Dazzle Dry Nail System
By far the best nail polish I’ve ever used. It stays on so much longer than even quality brands like OPI. I got the starter set last year for Christmas and have pretty much used Dazzle Dry exclusively since then. Make sure to get on their email list for promos!
$100+ Gifts
Ninja Creamy
This little gadget is all the rage right now. With the Ninja CREAMi Deluxe, you can turn almost anything into ice cream and so much more. Make classic CREAMi treats like ice cream, sorbet, and gelato, and mix-in masterpieces.
Sorel Out and About Boots
I got a pair of these last year and LOVE them. Every time I wear these boots, people ask where they are from or compliment them.
Barefoot Dreams Cozy Chic Robe
Barefoot Dreams is known for having the softest, most dreamiest sweaters ever, and I just discovered they make a robe! Put this on and you may never want to take it off. This is a must-have for any mom!
Ember Temperature Controlled Smart Mug
Perfect for the mom who heats her coffee up and then forgets to drink it. This smart mug keeps your drink perfectly hot for 1.5 hours! You can also customize the temperature with your smartphone.
Nespresso Vertuo Coffee and Espresso Machine
Oh man, I’ve been wanting one of these for a LONG time! It’d be nice to sip on a homemade cappuccino when that afternoon slump hits.
Roomba
WORTH. EVERY. PENNY. We’ve had a Roomba for over 3 years now and it’s still going strong! It’s seriously amazing. This model has Wi-Fi Connectivity, works with Alexa, works on carpet and wood, and can be controlled from your phone.
Madewell Tote
Clean, modern, and completely unfussy, this roomy leather tote is topped with comfortable over-the-shoulder straps. Come to mama!

25+ Make Ahead Christmas Breakfasts
We have rounded up the BEST ideas for Christmas breakfast or brunch on the internet. The good news is that all of these can be prepped ahead of time so you can relax and enjoy the morning.

Our Roomba went kaput after 4 years. I think this is a good year to get another and one for my mom too since we are spending so much time at home. Also the silk pillowcase would be a great gift for my mother in law.

I just found out about souper cubes recently and I have been wanting them ever since!

You need a Yeti for sure, then. I used to do that all the time, but my Yeti keeps it hot/warm most of the day.

Stephanie says
A yeti coffee mug or roomba would be great.

I would love a Roomba!!
Karla Knight says
My mom has been gone for more than 20 years, but she was the one that showed me a satin pillowcase and how cool they are (literally)… and how much they can save the hair for mornings when things are rushed. Satin pillowcases make me feel
