Being a mother of boys is much like being a mother of dragons. Both require putting out fires.
This work can be exhausting, and the activities can be numerous!
Oftentimes the boy mom is wading through a sea of blue and zipping to and from sports, school and emergency / non-emergency doctor appointments.
When shopping for a mother of boys, look for something she enjoys, makes her feel girly, or something she will get a kick out of.
Here is a look at some gifts that will help a boy mom or just give a bit of a break!
First Up…. Some Super Useful Boy Mom Gifts!
Let’s be real – boy moms have hectic home lives. So sometimes practical gifts are in order, especially if you’re not sure what to get her.
1) Cute Weekly Planner Notepad
Boy moms have a lot to keep track of during the week. One helpful and easy gift for a boy mom is a tear off weekly planner.
I find that if it is a planner for the whole year that I end up not using it.
A tear away paper that I can start over at any time – for when I really buckle down and get organized – would be a welcome gift!
2) Boy Mama Messy Bun Boy Mom Gifts Magnet
Now that you have a planner for your boy mama, get her a refrigerator magnet to keep it up or to put that next dentist appointment card up.
I keep a bunch of magnets to put up my boy’s art before the trash fairy takes it away to the recycles after about a week.
This Boy Mama Messy Bun magnet can be an anytime gift, birthday, Mother’s Day or Christmas gift.
3) Mom of Boys Teal Watercolor Typography Gift for Mom PopSockets Grip
If your boy mama friend keeps all her appointments on her phone, then get her a cute PopSocket to show her pride!
I have such small hands that I have two on my phone. But for people with non-child sized hands, this awesome gift will be perfect!
If your mother-friend just had a baby boy, PopSockets will help her take pictures and hold up her phone when she is feeding him so she can watch a show!
Mamas of Tween and Teenage Boys Need All The Foods
If you know or are one of the boy moms zipping to and from practices and activities or just surviving the growth spurts, help a mama out and feed the tribe!
This can be in an organized meal train during a newborn time period, a meal train during a hardship, or just to help a mother out with some of the load.
From snack boxes to gift boxes, if she has the growing boys, she needs the food!
This is one of the best things you can buy a boy mom.
4) Chipotle Gift Card
Amazon offers many restaurants’ gift cards. One healthy staple of the growing boy is Chipotle!
Get your boy mom a healthy dinner option for the busy nights when she does not have the time or the willpower to cook at home.
If your friend is a new parent to a baby boy, she needs the food and would love the thought that went into it.
If it is your turn on the meal train for a family, choose an emailed version of the gift card to get it fast to the new mother of boys.
5) Healthy Snack Box Variety Pack Care Package (30 Count)
“The boys are growing like weeds and always want a snack!”
Help your boy mom stock her pantry with this mix of healthy and fun snacks!
Bigger boys can grab a snack and go, freeing up your loved one’s wallet and time!
A healthy snack box is a great gift idea for Mother’s Day for a friend. It will be a huge money saver for her as well because she would have had to buy this many snacks anyway!
Really Cute Gear for a Mother of Boys
Mothers of boys love to dress the part and sometimes it is fun to also coordinate outfits with your boys.
This list includes things you can get for any mom, which is great if you don’t know exactly what she would like.
6) Mama Shirt, Mamas Boy Shirt, Mama and Baby Matching Shirt
Etsy offers many wonderful options for matching sets for a boy and his boy mom.
This option has aviator sunglasses with the words “Mama” and “Mama’s boy” going through youths Large for the child.
This is a fun option for a newborn gift or for a special picture for the mother and her boys.
My son would love to wear this with me because he is currently obsessed with Top Gun and would think the aviator shades are awesome! Husbands can buy this option for their partners for a special memory on Mother’s Day!
7) Boy Mama And Mama’s Boy Matching Halloween Bleached T-Shirt
You know your bestie, and if she is a boy mom and a huge horror film or Halloween fan, then this is a hilarious option!
These t-shirts go up to size 6T for the boys and feature a Jason hockey mask and blood splatter.
This makes for an easy choice for a new boy mom to throw something on during October that is also festive and on point.
8) Boy Mama from Son Up to Son Down Bleached T-Shirt
Buy this shirt option for your friend to show her that you hear her boy mom struggle!
“Boy Mom from Son up to Son down!” Ain’t that the truth! If the boys are awake, they are on!
This is useful for a boy mama’s busy day of going from activity to activity!
I am actually considering this as a Christmas gift for one of best friends who has two little boys. She loves comfy clothes and would get a real kick out of this t-shirt.
9) Mother and Son Heart Matching Necklace Set
Another cute wearable option is a necklace to match between the boy mama and her boy.
This necklace is a puzzle heart for mother and son in stainless steel.
Necklaces make for a great option for a nice small gift for your friend or your partner or to your own mama!
10) Home With Boys Sign
Another great gift idea for a mother of boys, is a cute framed decorative sign.
This one from Etsy says “Home is where my boys are.” A great idea for a boy mama that just added a newborn or moved!
For myself, I would probably have to put that sign in our family minivan!
Gift For a Boy Mom to Relax
11) Gift Certificate to Favorite Nail Spot
Your friend, partner or loved one that is a boy mom is working hard day in and day out.
One great gift idea is something to help her relax and pamper herself even for just a little while. I love to sneak away every now and then and get pedicures.
Find out where your boy mom friend goes and buy her a gift card for some beautiful nails or pedicure!
Just because she is playing in the dirt and stopping the bleeding on the boys doesn’t mean she can’t look and feel gorgeous.
12) Starbucks Gift Card
One easy way to show you care and keep the boy mom fueled is a Starbucks gift card.
Coffee for mothers of boys is both a treat and a necessity! Buying her a gift card shows her that you care.
Amazon offers multiple amounts and delivery options.
13) Neck Stretcher for Neck Pain Relief
One pampering option that your boy mom may not think about is a way to relax their neck!
Our stress from the day lives in our neck, shoulders and back. This neck stretcher from Amazon is heated and only requires that she lays down for a few minutes!
If you are a partner giving your boy’s mother a gift, give her this and a few minutes of quiet to use it!
These boy mama’s are busy and need some love on any occasion! Hopefully, these gifts help you in your quest for the perfect gift or treat.
So get her a meaningful gift and show some love to your mother of dragons…. errr boys!
