Best Gifts for Working Moms for Mother’s Day

Mother’s Day gifts are unique, smaller gifts that make Mom feel special. It’s the day to let Mom relax in bed with breakfast, shower her with flowers, and some homemade gifts. Mother’s Day gifts are a great way to let your kids take the lead on gifts. Of course, it’s always special to see daddy also give Mommy a lovely gift from the heart. Any of the gifts I’ve listed below are great for Mother’s day gifts.

Best Gifts for Overwhelmed Moms

Being a Mom is hard. You feel stressed out, overwhelmed and sometimes it can make you feel unhappy. For Moms, it’s so important to relax, reduce some stress, and feel less busy, even if it’s just for a few minutes. Moms need some time to take care of themselves, and it’s usually something we are always lacking.

Did we ever realize before having kids that it would be so hard? I feel like I always pictured the play dates, the mom friends, the arts and crafts.

I never really prepared for the tantrums and million little things that needed to be done, the routines they’d get accustomed to, the sleep that gets thrown out of whack, the tantrums and spills, etc. Being a mom is stressful, and it’s so easy to find yourself an overwhelmed mom.

Gift a Great Book to Help Mom Relax and Refocus

There are some fantastic books out there that can help you feel better and help you see things a little more positively. I’ve been reading self-help books for at least seven years now, and I love them. They play a big part in how I feel each day and where my mind is at.

Whenever I feel a little anxious or just down in general, I pick up one of these books and start reading. If I don’t have time, I put in my headphones and listen to a book. A subscription to Audible might be another excellent idea for Mom. Listening to audiobooks helps shift your focus and helps you get clear about how you want to live your life.

These books are sure to be a hit with Mom. Help her get excited about her life, help her set goals, and love herself. I cannot speak highly enough about the books below. They are part of the reason I am where I am today. 

Check them out. Your Mom will love them.

Audiobooks and HardCover Books for Moms

Another great idea as a practical gift is a subscription to Audible. If the Mom in your life doesn’t always have time to read, audiobooks are a fantastic gift. I love to listen to books while I work or out for a run or walk. You can even get three free audiobooks to try it out. Audiobooks are a huge time saver for me and help me keep focused and motivated. 

Rachel Hollis is a fantastic writer, and she gave me the kick in the pants that I needed to get my sh*it together. Get rid of the guilt and start living the life you’re meant to live. Girl Wash Your Face is inspiring and a fantastic motivational book for any woman.

Of course, Girl Stop Apologizing makes this list of inspiring and motivational books. This book breaks down the walls of our excuses and our guilt. We have all felt “mom guilt” before, and it can sometimes be crippling. This book is a fantastic follow-up book. It is highly recommended.

Ask and it is Given was one of the first books I read about the power of manifesting and the law of attraction. It is so good. I’m happy I read this book. I even have it on audio to listen to it anytime I need to get motivated and refocused on my thoughts. Ask, and it is Given is a great book. Start learning how to manifest your dream life!

I had to put these two books as a set. The first book inspired my business! How to be a Bad Ass at Making Money inspired me tremendously and changed my relationship with Money. Two excellent books to inspire and motivate any mother. These books are written by an honest, inspiring, and encouraging author to any woman.

The Secret could not be left off this list. The first self-help book I read years and years ago. Probably a big reason why I live the life I live. It opened my eyes to the power of our thoughts, the law of attraction. It opened my eyes to the changes that can happen by simply controlling our thoughts. The Movie for this is also fantastic!

I’m reading this book right now, and it’s a must! I love the way Gabby writes this book, her way of thinking and personal experiences take this book to another level. You can see her struggles, what she did and how it changed her life. We can all become super attractors. Another fantastic book you can unwind with and relax while learning ways to change your life!

What are Good Gifts for Mother’s Day?

I love gifting a subscription box for Mother’s Day. It’s the gift that keeps on giving. Cratejoy has a ton of special subscription boxes for moms. Whatever your Mom loves and is into Crate Joy will have a package for her. Jewelry, makeup, plants, books. They have it all. Are you looking for a subscription box for Dad? Kids? They’ve got a ton of those too!

What to Get the Mom Who Has Everything?

Sometimes the best thing to get a Mom who has everything is to ask her. There might be something she’s hoping to get, or maybe you can recall something she’s said in the past that you can surprise her with. Homemade gifts would be great for the Mom who has everything because they are unique gifts from the heart. 

What Makes a Great Gift for Working Moms?

I speak for all women when I say that we love the thought that is put into a gift for us. The best gifts for women and the best gifts for Moms are the ones that show you care, help us take some time to relax and unwind, and also the gifts that we hint around to for months before our birthdays or Mother’s day. 🙂 Am I right? 

Practical Gifts for Busy Moms

The best gifts for busy moms might also like practical gifts. Something to help her day-to-day life. A gift to support the active Mom. Maybe she’s wanted a particular appliance for a long time or a cozy romper, or maybe she wants an e-reader. Think of things that would be practical for her to use regularly and how you can make it easier. Here are some awesome shirts and Mom Apparel I’ve made and love. 

A Kindle is an excellent gift for Mom. She can take it anywhere and have access to all her favorite books. Perfect for when she travels, goes to the beach, or wants to read in bed at night without having to keep the light on.

It took me a long time to invest in my Air Pods but let me tell you. It was a significant investment. These don’t compare to any other headphones I’ve ever used. The sound is clear, and they do not come out of my ears. I use these while working out when I’m cleaning and working on my computer. Mom will love her new headphones without a doubt.

Of course, I had to add the Apple Watch. I think it’s on almost every Mom’s wish list. The features are unique, and it can do anything from track your steps and heart rate, give you access to so many apps, and connect to your phone, of course.

Is your Mom constantly losing things? If so, this is the solution for her. Never lose anything again. This comes with a card, sticker, and key fob so you can keep track of multiple items. I have the Tile and love it! Great for your wallet, keys, and remote!

Planners for Busy Moms

Another gift that every busy Mom can benefit from is a planner. Having a beautiful, fun planner makes a difference when running around doing day-to-day things. I love having a planner that I can use to plan my day and crush my to-do lists. Day designer has some fantastic planners and does everything a busy mom would want. Play your day, week, and month with ease.

Overwhelmed Moms Need to Practice Self Care

Self-care is probably the last thing you plan as an overwhelmed mom. You are lacking sleep and having a million items on your to-do often puts self-care at the bottom of that list. If you’re looking for gifts that will allow the stressed-out Mom in your life to relax, I’ve got the ultimate list of gifts for the overwhelmed Mom right here.

Working Moms need to relax and unwind. Let’s get one thing straight. We’re all working Moms. You might work in or outside the house, but we are all working moms, and we all need a break. 

A Terry Cloth Robe is hands down one of the best gifts I’ve ever gotten. I use it daily. I love being able to put on a robe as soon as I’m out of the shower. It’s so warm and relaxing. It’s soft but absorbs and feels excellent.

A diffuser and essential oils are a great starter set for Mom to use. Essential oils have many health benefits and can help her unwind and relax. So many different essential oils to try. She will love it. I love this set from Amazon that gets you started right away with some great oils.

Give Mom the gift of a clean floor! What a time saver! Turn this baby on and forget it while it cleans your floors. Working Moms and busy moms will love this gift as it will give them more time to enjoy other things vs. vacuuming the floors. The iRobot is a popular brand and has so many options.
