I have yet to meet a mom that does not harbor some level of guilt for how she is raising her children. Whether working or staying home, every mom is busy beyond belief and doing her best to maintain a happy, healthy, cozy household for the little people in her life.
Since I had the luxury of a four month maternity leave with Zoey and a three month maternity leave with William, I feel like I have been able to experience both sides of the mom life coin between being a stay at home mom and a working mom. While this gift list caters to the working mom in terms of cutting down on time it takes to do things like grocery shop or meal plan, these are presents that any mom would be very thankful to receive.
Basically, if you can find a gift that would truly make a mom’s life easier, then you have yourself a winner. Among your gift shopping, you can find other valuable posts for moms here:

$5 Meals – Take the pressure of meal planning and budgeting off your mom with a subscription to $5 meals. Easy meals that do not break the bank delivered straight to her inbox will help free up some of her time.
MyFreezEasy – With 5 freezer friendly meal plans to choose from each week, this subscription will save your mom so much time in meal planning, meal prepping, and cooking throughout the week leaving her more time to spend doing things she loves! The great part is that MyFreezEasy walks you through, step-by-step on how to make 10-12 freezer friendly meals in an hour.
Massage – A massage would be such a treat for most moms as their aching backs and tired hands get worked on for a blissful hour long session. If you cannot go with a full body (time / money), then opt for either a neck and back massage or a foot massage.
No Poopy Diapers For A Day – This is the dream for all moms, especially those with more than one kid in diapers. If you are making something like a coupon book, this has to be included.
Essential Oils and Diffuser – With the limited amount of time us parents have to relax, we really need to make the most of it. Having a diffuser with some favorite essential oils can work wonders on moods, sicknesses, and relaxation factors during the day.
Structured Diaper Bag – Moms are notorious for carrying around all the things, especially if there is more than one baby in tow. A structured diaper bag with plenty of room for bottles, diapers, snacks, and toys makes a mom’s life so much easier as it is quicker to find items one handed.
5 Week Health & Fitness Plan – What better way to give your mom some self care time than with a structured health and fitness plan? With easy to follow workouts, a health journal, and a nutrition workbook, your mom will have everything she needs to lose that weight, see that muscle tone, and focus on herself.
Sun Basket – Lighten up the cooking and shopping load with full dinner ingredients and directions delivered to the door. That is a win in any mom’s book. Save 50% on your first Sun Basket order.
Instacart Subscription – Ordering groceries from your phone? That can be delivered to your front door within an hour? While the babies sleep or play? There is nothing to lose here. Instacart offers a year long subscription that will be a huge relief to your mom.
Costco Membership – I absolutely adore Costco. Not just for their bulk foods at great prices (we go weekly for produce), but for their premade meals. Stuffed peppers, salads, pizzas, rotisserie chickens, the list goes on. If you are within 30 minutes of a Costco, a membership is going to revolutionize your mom’s life.
The Ultimate Back To Work Pumping Course – If you are getting a gift for a breastfeeding or pumping mom, this pumping course is filled with useful information on how to make pumping and the transition back to work as easy as possible without risking your milk supply.
Otterbox – I am notorious for dropping my phone a minimum of once a day. My Otterbox and second screen have saved my phone more times than I can count.
Basically, if you can think of a gift for the mom in your life that will make her life easier with minimal effort, then you have yourself a winner.
