Moms Tell Santa What They REALLY Want for Christmas
The Big Man In Red himself talks to moms about the things on their Christmas lists. Spoiler alert – the elves don’t do babysitting and you won’t be peeing alone for a while.
Last-Minute Gifts Moms Love
We asked several of our writers and readers who are moms about THE gift that would rock their worlds. These gifts have a wide range of prices and appeal, but we bet there’s something here a mom in your life would love. We even tried to list some awesome gifts for mom that were attainable in the last week before Christmas.
Spa Treatments
Hands down, this was the #1 thing the moms we asked wanted. It turns out moms aren’t usually the type to splurge on themselves – go figure! Mani/pedis, massages, and facials are always quality gifts for mom, especially for new moms who are tired and really putting self-care on the back burner. Bonus points if your gift includes babysitting when they’re at the spa.
Places to consider:
Madison School of Massage Therapy
Terrame Day Spa & Salon
Date Night… with Babysitting
The #2 request was some quality time with mom’s Significant Other. Another thing she is less likely to splurge on for herself, this one is an easy gift option. Gift cards to the movie theater and her favorite restaurant, complete with babysitting. It’s a priceless jackpot! Click here for some great Date Night ideas in Huntsville.
Tile
More Info
This tiny tile doesn’t look like much, but it could be the very thing for moms who are constantly looking for their phone, or purse, or wallet. The amount of time it saves getting out the door is incredible. Maybe soon they’ll make one to help keep up with kids.
Birchbox Subscription
More Info
This monthly subscription box will arrive at mom’s doorstep full of goodies over and over again. It’s definitely one of those gifts that keep on giving. The samples are high-quality and luxurious, and will encourage her to treat herself. Plus, Birchbox gets creative with their fun mailing labels.
Stackable Rings
More Info
We love these Lisa Leonard stackable rings – they each have the name of mom’s little ones and the sterling silver goes with just about any outfit.
Coupons for Time
Time is worth its weight in gold, and no mom has enough of it. Homemade coupons for uninterrupted naps, a morning alone at a coffee shop, a guilt-free trip to Target without kids, or a long hot soaking bubble bath. This DIY template will help you customize some for mom. Most importantly – Don’t include an expiration date!
