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!

Bath Bombs – These are amazing after a long day! If you haven’t tried them, they fizz while dissolving and turn an ordinary bath into a spa-like experience. Made in California with natural ingredients.
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!
Living Essentials Dry Shampoo – 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.
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 smart phone.
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.
Moonlight Pajamas – For those of us who count down the hours in our day until we can climb into our comfies, these ultra soft pajamas by Nordstrom are about as cozy as you can get. They come in a lot of colors and are true to size.
Air Pods – 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!
Anastasia Beverly Hills Sun Dipped Glow Kit – This is a must-have powder highlighter palette containing 4 shades of highlighter powder in metallic, warm-bronze hues. Perfect for eyes, face and body.
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.
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.
Personalized Stacking Rings – My husband got me a set of these a few years ago and I LOVE them.
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!
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!
Phone Stand – I could see myself using something like this when I’m working or cooking. Will I survive without it? Yes. But would I use it if someone gifted it to me? You bet!
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
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!
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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!
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!
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!
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.
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.
The Home Edit Life – The Home Edit has taken over Netflix. This book is not only a great resource but also a cute coffee table book!
Tumbler – I want one of these! It keeps water cold for 24 hours. Non-skid bottom and doesn’t leak. Mama neeeeds!
Bag Hooks for Car – Hang purses, grocery bags, or even masks on these! Great stocking stuffer idea.
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.
Pom Pom Beanie Hat – This would go well with anything! Lots if different colors available but I like this cream one.
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.
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.
Raincoat – This is SUPER cute and comes highly recommended by an influencer who I trust.
