Hubby\u2019s and kids think us Moms are hard to buy for- but the truth is, we\u2019re REALLY NOT! Other than a moment to ourselves, an endless hot cup of coffee, or maybe an on call maid, I\u2019ve come up with a few great gift ideas for moms, for those who are still having a hard time buying for us.<\/p>\n

First of all- things we\u2019ll actually use! I love jewelry and nice clothes as much as the next gal, but really I need stuff that I\u2019ll reach for every day. I love necklaces, but diamonds aren\u2019t going to cut it for chasing a rambunctious kiddo and running errands. That\u2019s what I love these choices.\u00a0Rachelleisms<\/a>\u00a0makes sweet and meaningful jewelry for Mommas- I have a necklace just like this one, and I wear it often. And the meaning behind it is special to me. Her shop has lots of pretty and practical options for a lady in your life.\u00a0Hendersweet<\/a>\u00a0also makes special jewelry for special ladies. Think book necklaces, or ones featuring your child\u2019s handwriting! There are so many options that you won\u2019t have a hard time finding what you\u2019re looking for.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s talk clothing- I have lots of family buy me fancy clothes or dresses. But, this Momma spends most of her days in leggings and tee shirts. That\u2019s why both of these options are perfect! *She is Blank Space<\/a>\u00a0has a lot of great options- my favorite being this\u00a0Boss Babin\u2019 with Grace<\/a>\u00a0tee, because us Mommas are boss babin\u2019 it every day. Know a fellow Boss Babe? Grab one for yourself and her as well. They also have cute bags and mugs as well, among other things. *The Talking Shirt<\/a>, who I\u2019ve mentioned before in my\u00a0Tees for Ladies who Love Jesus<\/a>\u00a0post, has a HUGE variety of shirts to choose from, you\u2019ll be able to find one for everyone on your list- not just your Mom. My current fave is this super comfy, perfect for daily wear,\u00a0Fearfully and Wonderfully made raglan<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I love to read- I always have a book handy and several that I\u2019m reading at a time. But, I know most of us have a hard time finding the time to read- so when we actually get the chance, we want it to be a good one. I LOVED the book\u00a0One Mom Can Change the World<\/a>\u00a0this year- it will empower any Momma and make her feel like she is rockin\u2019 this Mom thing. You may also spy my name in the acknowledgments\u2026but I digress. If you\u2019re on the look for a great cook book, check out Rachel Hollis\u2019s new release,\u00a0Upscale Down Home<\/a>, which features dressed up homey recipes. Perfect for recipe ideas on days when this Momma\u2019s brain can\u2019t make any more decisions. Know a foodie- get her this!<\/p>\n

And last but definitely not least- how about some products that a Momma can pamper herself with? (I would also suggest giving her some alone time to do said pampering, but that\u2019s up to you). This *Mogi Mousse Sugar Scrub\u00a0<\/a>is the perfect natural, luxury body care item that she can use every day for healthier, younger looking, pampered skin. It is a little pricey- but remember this is a special item to make her feel appreciated! *B True Beauty\u2019s new Organic Skincare line<\/a>\u00a0is perfect for the Momma who needs some moisture and skin loving ingredients in her life. This Graceful Beauty Moisturizer is something she\u2019ll use every day, and it will make her skin feel so luxuriously treated, even when her day is hectic and she\u2019s running ragged. And, every Momma\u2019s eyes are puffy, lack of sleep is\u00a0part of the job description- help a lady out and grab her some of these\u00a0100 Percent Pure Eye Masks<\/a>. Her tired, sleep deprived eyes will thank you! Bonus- all of these items are sensitive skin approved!<\/p>\n

In the end, us Momma\u2019s really just want a little thank you for the never-ending job that we do- but if you do want to get us something special, make it something we\u2019ll actually get some use out of! Save the jewelry, lingerie (looking at you Hubbys!), heels, chocolates, and superflous gifts for our Birthdays and Valentine\u2019s Day! Amiright Mommas?<\/p>\n

Have you tried any of these products- which ones would you like to get for Christmas?<\/p>\n
