Gift Guide: Moms

Updated: 6/29/22

This post may contain affiliate links. Please read our disclosure policy.

We have rounded up some wonderful gift ideas with a busy mom in mind. Bookmark this page and pass it on to any gift givers seeking out ideas for you!

Make sure to hop over and browse around our other Holiday Gift Guides!

Note: Links in this post may be sponsored or affiliates, but we pride ourselves in carefully selecting products we have personally used and/or are excited about. See full Amazon disclaimer at the bottom or here.


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!

While both of our cookbooks are at any major retailer, you can buy autographed copies directly from us too! This would be an original, thoughtful gift idea for any mom!

Photo Printer and Photo Paper – Moms have 1,000 photos on their phone but usually only a handful 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

SHOP NOW

Screen-touch Gloves – Not sure how I’ve made it this far in life without some touch screen gloves, but I have. If you know someone like 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!

SHOP NOW

Bombas Socks – I became a Bombas sock evangelist a few years ago and haven’t looked back. After getting my husband a set of them, he too has converted to the Bobas sock camp. I don’t know how to explain it but their socks are just the best. They are super high quality, fun to look at, and are a worthy investment. I mean, you wear socks EVERY day! They have all types of cuts and styles so take a peek around if this set isn’t something you’re interested in.

SHOP NOW

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.

SHOP NOW

Electric Wine Opener – My parents have one of these and it’s pretty useful! On my list this year!

  • Effortless wine cork removal is performed automatically with the touch of a button, and the extractor never leaves a wine cork stuck or broken
  • 2-IN-1 AERATOR AND POURER: Helps air filter through to wine faster, oxidizing it for the best flavor and aroma while letting you decant and pour in a single step

SHOP NOW

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.

SHOP NOW

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!

SHOP NOW

Madewell Tote – Is it possible to have a crush on a bag you’ve never met? Because I’m pretty sure I do. I’ve been eyeing this one down since last year and will put it on my Christmas list again this year and cross my fingers. Clean, modern and completely unfussy, this roomy leather tote is topped with comfortable over-the-shoulder straps. Come to mama!

Madewell tote
SHOP NOW

Perfume Sampler – I love this idea! It’s hard for me to commit to one bottle of perfume which is why I love the idea of getting a sampler kit. There are so many scents choose from ranging in size from trial to mini. Keep the ones you love, share the ones you don’t!

SHOP NOW

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.

SHOP NOW

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!

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.

Bag Hooks for Car – Hang purses, grocery bags, or even masks on these! Great stocking stuffer idea.

SHOP NOW

Moccasin Slippers – I have these exact ones and LOVE them. I like that I can wear them inside, outside, and they are high quality. I’ve had mine for over a year now and they are holding up great. Size down if you’re in between sizes. Similar on Amazon.

SHOP NOW

Pom Pom Beanie Hat – This would go well with anything! Lots if different colors available but I like this cream one.

SHOP NOW

Pique Tea Bundle – Pique Tea is an innovative brand of instant tea crystals that dissolve in hot (some also in cold) water. You simply tear open the small packet of condensed tea crystals and mix them with water. I love this shortcut approach to drinking a comforting cup of tea that can help provide calm energy, gut health, and boost immunity. These also come in individual packets.

SHOP NOW

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.

SHOP NOW


Raincoat – This is SUPER cute and comes highly recommended by an influencer who I trust.
