We all know a busy mom who could use some pampering! This gift guide with a list of the best gifts for busy moms is built with that superwoman in mind.
Give her what things she’ll actually want and love, not just the first thing that you see in the grocery store aisles.
Here’s a list of my favorites that I actually use, love, and gift to other busy moms:
Best Gifts for Busy Moms
Hydroflask Coffee Cup:
This is the perfect gift for busy moms because it’s leak-proof and keeps coffee warm for up to 6 hours. Imagine that, hot coffee! And I’m serious about the leak-proof part of things, I take this with me whenever we travel so that I can get coffee after security, close it up, and safely carry it on in my bag to enjoy on the plane. It’s a busy mom’s dream!
This comes in multiple sizes, but I especially love the 12 oz size because it fits under most coffee makers and also easily fits into the cup holders in my car.
Essential Oil Diffuser:
Mom’s don’t have much time to unwind, but this diffuser, paired with their favorite essential oils, can help them make the most of the down time that they do have. I love that this one has changing colors and can be used for up to 8 hours. Pair this with some high quality essential oils and you’ll be all set on your gift for the mom in your life.
Instant Pot:
My Instant Pot and I have a pretty well documented love affair. But don’t take my word for it! The Instant Pot Facebook group has over 1,000,000 raving fans who share all of their tips. tricks, and recipes for making fast, healthy meals in the Instant Pot.
The busy mom in your life will love that the Instant Pot makes delicious food with almost no hands-on time so she can deal with witching hour, break up sibling fights, or do the after-work shuffle while dinner cooks.
Cute Mug:
Mugs like these make every morning (and every cold cup of coffee) better! Here are some more that the busy mom in your life might love: this, this, and this.
Pair this with a Starbucks gift card and you’ll be set!
Wine Squirrel:
Know a mom who liked to unwind with a glass of wine every once in a while but doesn’t want/plan to drink or waste the whole bottle? The Wine Squirrel can help with that! Using it can add weeks of life to wine that’s been opened.
This innovative system keeps wine fresh by creating an air tight seal that keeps oxygen from turning it bad before you get around to your next glass.
Tile:
If the busy mom in your life is anything like me, she’s always looking for her keys or wallet or phone as she’s trying to run out the door. These Tiles can help find all of those things with the touch of a button!
Bonus points that the Tiles play fun music when you activate them so that the kids can help you on your key-finding scavenger hunt and feel like it’s a game. Plus, these new ones also have replaceable batteries.
Headspace gift certificate:
Know a busy mom who would like to be more mindful? I’ve been using Headspace for months and feel like it has helped me to be more present even in the chaos that accompanies parenting two kids.
What’s especially cool about this app is that it allows you to find some “space” via meditation whenever you have a minute. There are different “themed” packs for different goals, you can adjust the meditation session length based on how long you have, and there are even kids meditations that you can do with your little ones.
Rothy’s:
Full disclosure: I’m totally addicted to Rothy’s shoes. Here’s why the busy mom in your life will be too: they’re super comfortable, very stylish, and machine washable.
I love that I can throw them on and look cute while I’m hanging out with my kids without worrying that I won’t be able to run around with them or that I’ll get them dirty. They also have a 30-day return policy, so if your busy mom doesn’t love the fit or style you picked, she can return them and pick out a different pair.
Use this code to buy them and we’ll both save $20!
Gift Certificate for manicure or massage:
I surveyed the busy moms on my Facebook page and the majority of them said they’d love some pampering. I think that’s because we’re so hesitant to buy it for ourselves most of the time!
Here are some easy ways to buy manicure or massage gift certificates for the busy mom in your life:
- Massage Envy has many locations around the US. Check that’s there’s one nearby before buying a gift certificate
- With Spa Finder you can buy a gift card that can be used at thousands of locations
- Check out Yelp for the best spa near her and find out about getting a gift certificate through them
