Gifts to Pamper Mom

Making a mom something she can use to pamper herself is always a good idea. Moms do not get a lot of time off. These simple DIY gifts are pretty special. They also are quick to make.

The Gift of Some Free Time

It may seem too simple, but giving a mom a couple of hours to herself IS a gift! Send a Lovepop card with the promise to watch the kids so a special mom can take a break to do something solo or with friends.

Give mom some time off to explore her favorite hobby. A great list of hobbies for moms are here. Sometimes all you need is an hour a day or a couple hours on the weekend to do something special in order to recharge as a mom.

Book Gifts for Moms

A great devotional for stay at home moms is another gift idea. Staying encouraged in this season of life can take some filling up of your cup. This list of devotional posts is a great go-to.

My favorite books for moms are Mom Connection, Power of a Praying Wife, The Benedict Option, and From Boardroom to Baby.

Digital Scrapbook for Mom

Create a special memory book for a special mom by making her a digital scrapbook. Mixbook Photo Co. makes it easy. This makes a great gift idea for moms and mom-friends who live long-distance since it is easy to be sent to the recipient.

Simple Gifts that Mean A Lot

Coffee gift cards are always a treat. I know when I get a gift card to my favorite coffee place, it makes the decision to stop, take a break, and treat myself to a cup of coffee or tea very easy.

I don’t often stop and get coffee. Gift cards are great incentive for moms taking a minute for themselves.

Potted plants for moms who love some green in the house are great to give. I received a potted plant over a year ago. Recently, I was able to break it apart to re-plant 4 different plants from the arrangement.

Even a year later the plants are still going strong. Plant therapy is so great.

Gifts that Ship Well to Long-Distance Friends

Living far from friends and family, I like to have a go-to list of gifts that I can ship. For special occasions and holidays it is nice to make friends and family feel special by sending a special gift.

I love that the gifts I highlighted in the list are all are made to ship long-distance. That means there is less stress to send a gift no matter how many miles separate you and your friends.

A gift in the mail is great encouragement for a mom. We all need day-brighteners now and then.

DIY Gifts

I still love a good DIY lotion or bath salts. They are fun to receive and relaxing to use. It is a nice excuse to take some time to relax and pamper yourself. Giving DIY gifts to moms for Mother’s Day will help a stressed out mom take a break.

Name a Star

What a unique way to celebrate your favorite mom! You can name a star and your loved one will receive a certificate and the ability to track the star through the available app. A very special and unique gift for mom.


Practical Gifts (& Freebies for Moms)

Practical gifts are also a great idea for moms! Especially moms of babies and toddlers can get into a rut with things like homemaking and meal planning.

Meal planning made simple with 9 weeks of dinner plans plus printable shopping list that you can use to keep your grocery shopping organized.

Meal Planning Simplified is a great, simple gift you can send to a mom-friend to help her get organized and in balance with meals. There are 9 weeks of meal plans, printable shopping list template to keep shopping organized, and great tips for making the meals kid-friendly all rolled into the plan.
