Bellabeat Health Tracker
Seriously, just click the picture so you can look at how beautiful and versatile this is to wear. My own mom has one of these and loves it. Similar (but less expensive) to the Fitbit. This health tracker monitors a variety of different health indicators and connects to both IOS or Android software so she can check her stats on her smartphone at any time.
Dry Shampoo
Sometimes it’s the simple gifts that mean the most. Moms have all been there, those days that washing your hair seems like a distant daydream…
Dry shampoo would be an especially good stocking stuffer for the new mom or the mom of multiple kids under 5. Give the gift of looking and smelling great even with limited time on her hands.
Day Designer Planner
I good planner is an amazing gift for pretty much everyone. But it definitely has to be included on an ultimate gift guide for busy moms. With multiple schedules, extracurricular activities, and much more on her plate let’s make it easy to keep track of what’s important with a beautiful planner.
Robot Vacuum
Pretty much everyone hates chores. We can probably all agree on that. Why not lend a continuous hand with a robot vacuum. All she has to do is turn on this little ditty and let it run over the carpet as she does literally anything else.
A Great Book
If the mom on your list needs a quiet escape every once in a while a good book can certainly assist. This is also a gift that can be awesome since it’s easy for her to bring when heading to a sports practice or music lesson. If she has a Kindle you can also set up an account for her so she can access over a million books! It comes with a free trial so you might as well sign up too, it’s ok to spoil yourself a little and how much spoiling is it really if it’s free? How’s that for taking the stress out of choosing a good read yourself.
Wine Making Kit
If the mommy you have in mind likes to have a glass of wine now and again get her a winemaking kit! This outside the box gift will be fun to do and leave her with WINE! Who doesn’t like that?
A cozy sweater
Let’s face it, women are usually cold. For cold busy moms a sweater that can be thrown on in 2 seconds, matches anything and look effortlessly chic? YES PLEASE. This grey and white sweater is the sort that you could wear day in and day out with any pants, coat or bag for any activity. The mom in your life deserves this.
An Amazing Travel mug
We’ve all had a good laugh about it, moms are cold. They also never get to drink their coffee or tea while it’s hot. It’s only funny to those who haven’t lived through this. Make sure it never happens to the mom you care about again with this cute travel mug. It’s big, it’s leakproof and it keeps drinks hot for 5 hours! Rejoice!
Amazon home services
This service is amazing for moms. There is so much to get done in today’s day and age that giving the gift of chores getting done is hands down wonderful.
If your mom has a TV that needs mounting, a garage that needs cleaning or literally a thousand other things. Amazon has people for that. And they can take care of it for your mom.
New this year!
Another great gift is a printable planner. Here at Planning with Maggie Rae we love to stay organized and if it’s pretty, that’s a huge plus.
With this printable planner mom can customize her organization and plan her time bullet journal style without any of the work.
So there you have it! Ideas other than bath supplies and stuff that’s really for other people. The moms you know deserve great gifts any time of year so go ahead and try out one of these more unconventional ideas.
Spoil them a little with a thoughtful gift that will be a laugh and a smile. The best part about gift giving is seeing the reaction, right?
