All these treats will brighten the day of your closest mom-friend, or family member. Our 2024 Holiday gift guide packed with gift ideas for moms will help you find unique, heartfelt gifts for the women on your gift list.

Within this blog post there are a variety of gifts that I was sent for free to review. I have included them in this guide because I do believe they are gifts worth giving. All opinions are my own. View my disclosure for more info.
#1 Gift for Moms in 2024
The number one gift for moms this year is a book that will give moms support as they navigate their child’s school experience. It reassures moms with detailed information to support their child if they are struggling in school or just not fitting in in the classroom environment. What is going on in schools presents parents with a unique challenge. A Parent’s Guide to School Choice provides insights and helps narrow down what school environment will be best for each child.
A Parent’s Guide to School Choice is an essential and inexpensive gift for moms that will help them see all the school options available for their child. No guilt, only solutions. Get a copy for a special mom in your life or add the book to a gift basket of goodies from the collection in our gift guide.
Gifts for Long Distance Family
Kid-created gifts are special and usually very easy to ship across miles. We have made quite a few unique, art and craft gifts and dressed them up for family. This collection of gifts kids can make is a great resource for creating handmade gifts that ship easily.
Long-distance family members are always on our hearts, and it does not have to be expensive or complicated to let them know at holiday time.
Heirloom Video Album
This idea takes the old-fashioned photo album and brings it into the modern era. It is so creative. Think of how the special videos and experiences get lost on our devices these days unless you are really organized with your photos. Heirloom video album takes your photos and videos and helps you easily compile them into an organized, special video.
You can view our summer of fun living the RV life while we were house hunting. My husband retired from the military, and we did not have a home to move into. So, we lived in our RV for almost three months. While it was an adventure, it was a combination of fun times and hard times. I decided to put all our memories from that challenging but special time together as a reminder of what we did enjoy and all that we overcame together as a family.
An Heirloom video album is a great way to share your baby’s first year with grandparents that are long distance. Put a video of your child’s year in photos together and long distance relatives can have everything organized and together to enjoy memories. Heirloom eliminates the time wasting of scrolling through photo albums on the phone to find the exact memories to share. They are all put together and organized in a grab-and-view format.
Heirloom has a platform that allows you to upload photos, videos and you can choose from their template and music selections. That makes the process very user friendly. It took me no longer than 30 minutes to put our memory reel together and get it ordered. It shipped to me in a streamlined package with all the information on how to use the device. But, it really is open and view.
Grandma will love receiving this. They do not take up a lot of space but preserve memories over time to be enjoyed into the future.
Sweet Treat Gifts that Can Be Shipped
Bell’s Cookies
The kids were all about the special delivery of Bell’s Cookies! The unique flavors and special sample collection was a treat. Our box arrived on a cloudy, rainy day. We needed a little pick-me-up in the midst of our school day. So, the kids and I did a Bell’s Cookies taste test.
Our box came with a variety of different flavors to try. I cut each cookie into bite-sized pieces so we could all try each one. We rated our favorites.
The flavor combinations are really yummy. The cookies are an affordable way to send upscale cookies to friends that live long distance, or get a box to share with the family for a fun weekend treat. Get a Bell’s Cookie Box to do your own taste test for fun at home.
Timeless Personalized Gifts
Sending personalized gifts is always a special touch. People feel appreciated when they receive a personalized piece of jewelry or creative custom gift. These ideas will give you a gift list of personalized gifts to give this year.
Patterned Heart Locket from Daily Sale
For the necklace lover, the detail of the patterned heart locket from Daily Sale is really pretty. It is a perfect piece to wear every day or on special occasions. I love that it is a gift idea for young women or girls as well as for grandmothers and mothers. It really crosses the age lines, because it is a timeless piece.
Homemade Photo Ornaments
Turn your child’s art creations into ornaments. How fun the memories are each year when you open the ornament box and see the little scribble drawings and handmade ornaments saved over the years. I want to have a special tree just for the kid’s created ornaments. They are so special.
To create homemade kid-created ornaments, follow the same idea as the cupcake toppers idea to shrink kids art down into a smaller size. Then, laminate it and punch a hole in the top for a piece of ribbon or an ornament hook. So easy! These are easy and cheap to batch process too.
Photo ornaments are always fun reminders of important memories. We ordered some as gifts from Shutterfly this year. They always email out great sale codes. Get on their email list and start planning those personalized photo gifts.
DIY Gifts to Save Money
These days prices are high. Saving money during inflation is something we are all trying to do. But batch processing DIY gifts is a smart way to create special gifts that do not cost a lot of money.
I have made DIY body butter, hair oils, and even custom perfume for friends. These gifts are always special to give and receive but also cost very little. They make great teacher gifts too. It takes 5 minutes to make a batch of bath salts and they can be used for kids or adults. DIY gifts are very versatile.
