Gift Ideas For Stay At Home Moms

8 Shares

Stay at home moms do some of the heaviest and stinkiest lifting in the households. But they are people too!

They have birthdays, anniversaries, milestones, and Mother’s Day to receive tokens of our gratitude that doesn’t begin to cover their sacrifices.

Shopping for stay-at-home moms can seem super easy, however, the trick is for it to make them feel special and appreciated.

What To Get a Mom Who Stays at Home

Imagine you get recruited for a management job… You can never leave the office. There are no off hours. You don’t get vacation days. And you also have to be the cook and janitor for no extra pay.

It’s like that!

Stay at home mommies can be easy to shop for because they are just surviving a lot of the time! We don’t want them to survive, we want them to thrive! Here are some useful gifts and thoughtful gift ideas to help our mamas out.

New mamas love cute swag! Get your stay-at-home mama a new accessory that she will love and wear with pride!

1) MAMA Necklace

These MAMA necklaces are affordable and so cute! A necklace is a great gift for a special occasion (new mom or Mother’s Day gift?) or -at a price of less than $30- an everyday pick me up.

This would make a cute gift for a grandmother as well. She was once a mama to even become a grandmama!

2) Birth Month Necklace

This great gift necklace shows the birth month of the new edition and shows you were paying attention! (Make sure you double check the month).

These have a vintage vibe to them and look classic so they can go with almost any outfit.

3) Mama Embroidered Hat

Momming is hard work! Stay at home moms are pushed to their limits sometimes and some things get pushed to that back burner.

Sometimes that means showering! Here is a cute hat that will be useful and appreciated!

It will also come in handy for those Saturday morning soccer games. It’s sunny out there.

Thoughtful Gifts That Stay at Home Moms Will Use

You know your friend or loved one. What do they like? If your mama friend loves coffee, one great idea is some nice coffee or a mug.

As a busy mom who is also working from home, I always could use another receptacle to hold my go go juice.

4) If Found In Microwave Please Give To Mom Mug

What stay at home mama hasn’t microwaved and lost their coffee? I do it all the time at work. It’s like a mix of “Awe mannn…” and “Oh yeah!
Sweet. More coffee!”

5) Mom Daily Affirmation Tumbler for Mom

Does your stay at home mama friend need a pick-me-up inside a pick me up cup?

Some days you just feel BLAH. Whether it’s from lack of sleep, limited time for self care or overwhelm from being in charge, it doesn’t matter really. What does matter is that you know your job is one of the most important jobs on the planet and you are irreplaceable.

Coffee for the drinking and a new cup with positive affirmations for when the days get rough with the kids.

Funny Gifts for your SAHM

Sometimes stay at home mamas need to have an ear that listens to them about what is going on in the home. Being a stay-at-home mom comes with a lot of stress and responsibility and sometimes your friend or loved one needs to commiserate.

Did you get a phone call from your stay-at-home mom friend that is struggling? Show them they are seen and heard!

6) Homemaker T-shirt

This shirt from Etsy shows the real deal of being a stay-at-home mama. It’s not always the easiest job. You can never leave the office, and you have minimal time for shaving your legs, but the rewarding feeling you get when you see you kids grow up in front of you can’t be replicated any other way.

This shirt is a cute and comfortable way to show ow much it means to the mom you are gifting… or for yourself.

7) Mama Mommy Mom Bruh Tumbler

Has your stay at home mom friend transitioned from “mommy” to “bruh”? It’s a legit problem.

Your teeny little baby going from cooing and babbling to becoming a tween then teen that calls you bruh happens over time and all at once—–AT the same time!

Listen to the tears and send this fun cup!

Guaranteed if you’re getting her this cup it’s because she has one or more boys…..here are even more ideas along the same line! >> 13 Gifts Every Boy Mom Will Love

8) Mom’s Last Nerve Candle

Here is a funny candle and a warning to the whole family!

Sometimes setting something on fire is cathartic and necessary. Why not give the mom that needs a safe way to do that a nice scented candle.

Gift Cards for the Stay at Home Mom

Make sure you buy something that they will use for themselves, or at least try!

A modern classic gift for the stay at home mom is the gift card. You can go with the Amazon gift card which can buy you anything, but I prefer the gift cards to a specific store gift cards that you know she likes to ensure she will get something for herself. These can also be purchased on Amazon! And often during sale days on Amazon there are lightning deals for popular stores.

9) Amazon Gift Cards

The store that has everything!

Gift cards are always welcome gifts. I don’t think I’ve ever received one and didn’t absolutely love it.

This way the SAHM that you are shopping for can get exactly what she wants for herself. It’s a win-win situation.

10) Belk Gift Cards

When it’s sale season, I usually go for the Belk gift cards for the mothers in my life and for all the stay at home moms, she can find something she will love.

I’ve found that Belk has a pretty solid selection of deep sale items on all sorts of things. Last year I used a $50 gift card on Black Friday to get a coffee pot, a waffle iron, some fuzzy socks and a blazer. It felt amazing!

11) Etsy Gifts Cards

Crafty stay at home mamas will love receiving Etsy gift cards to turn into any number of unique gifts or wonderful items.

Stay at home moms – new and old – need some self care and pick-me-ups every now and then. Busy moms focus so much of their energy on caring for their children and home. Help your mom friend, relative or partner out with some relaxation or pampering.

Have You Heard of CrateJoy for Personalized Gift Boxes?

One perfect gift for an overworked mom is a pampering gift. Cratejoy offers many amazing gifts that will bring joy and make a girl feel special.

12) Paradise Delivered Premium Box

The “Paradise Delivered Premium Box” brings spa and vacation vibes to a mama and gets her some luxury items to try. The price point is less than $50 and you do not have to send a box every month, you can send just one or begin a regular treat for a super special mama.

13) Mega Mom Box (Box+Shirt)

The “Mega Mom Box” offers a fun mom themed shirt and treats to try. Snacks and self care to the rescue for your stay at home mom. Again, you can choose how many months you wish to purchase up front.

Cratejoy offers many types of boxes and subscriptions and often has specials and promo codes to help with price tag. They have something for every stay at home mother on your list.

14) Individual Signed Romance Book (No frills)

For my mother, who has everything, I would go with the *Individual Signed Romance Book (No frills) *. Some wonderfully trashy romance novels, just like she likes them!

Good luck shopping for your stay-at-home mom! I am sure whatever you get, that she will love receiving a gift and knowing that you were thinking about them.
