Polly and I (and our friends) have tried and love all of these! They are delicious. Two thumbs up from us!

The mixers are proudly made in a Columbus, Ohio kitchen and are all natural and the cleanest label you’ll find on a cocktail mixer. The gift pack includes three 16 oz bottles. Each bottle makes 4+ cocktails (total of 12-14 cocktails).

The eco-conscious and/or gardening mom in your life will love this stylish and sustainable appliance. (It’s seriously the cutest appliance I own.)

Lomi turns your food waste into nutrient-rich plant food at the push of a button. Seriously, it’s like magic. Say goodbye to smelly trash and leaky bags and hello to a simpler, cleaner, more eco-friendly routine with Lomi.

Polly has one and said, “It’s perfect for those who don’t have the space or ability to compost outside. I used it in the winter to create compost for my flower beds.”

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.

What makes these an extra special gift is that they are autographed by Polly & Rachel. Support small business and give a gift that Mom will enjoy for years to come.

We both own and love this high-quality, non-toxic, non-stick cookware set. Let Mom pick out her favorite color and then start gifting her a new piece for each holiday or birthday.

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.

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!

I bought these for my anniversary trip this year. The questions are original and hilarious and really get you talking. A really fun gift or stocking stuffer!

If mom likes games, this is a great one to snatch up. I personally love it! It’s easy to learn and anyone that can read can play.

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!

I have this exact one. It’s nice to throw my devices on it at night and let them all charge up in one place.

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!

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.

Dry shampoo is the ultimate mom hack! Easily giving you back the 20 minutes plus you would have spent washing and drying your hair, just a quick spray and you are ready to walk out the door with great hair. Seriously life-changing.

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.

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.

Hang purses, grocery bags, or even masks on these! Great stocking stuffer idea.

I have these exact ones and LOVE them. I like that I can wear them inside, and 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.

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.

This would go well with anything! Lots of different colors available but I like this cream one.

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!

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)!

My husband got me a set of these a few years ago and I LOVE them.

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.

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?

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!

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.

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.

Easy-carry, comfort-grip handle and a narrow base that will fit most cup holders. The double-wall vacuum insulation will keep your water cold for 9 hours and iced for 40 hours.

These tumblers are very popular so be sure to snag them when you catch them in stock!

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 Bombas 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.

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

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.)

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!

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.

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.

These make listening to podcasts & audiobooks a breeze! I also love not having to mess with cords while I walk. A little pricey but worth the money!

Don’t forget a case — so many color options available.

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.

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!

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.

My personal favorite flavors are Passion Fruit, English Breakfast, and Mint Green. You can read our full review here.

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.

One of Oprah’s Favorite Things!

These irresistibly soft Women’s Bamboo Joggers have all the coziness of pajamas woven into a stylish silhouette you can wear just about anywhere. With their flattering fit and phone-friendly side pockets, these super soft joggers will be your softest all-season staple wardrobe whether you’re staying in or stepping out.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!
