17 Fabulous Gift Ideas for Mom… Not sure what to get mom? Well, you are in the right place because we have some great ideas for you! My blogger girlfriends and I got together and came up with gift ideas to fit every type of mom.
To make it fun, we broke it down into categories such as the “Jewelry Loving Mom”, the “Health Conscious Mom”, the “Gardening Mom” and so forth. ( The big list is at the bottom of the page) I picked “The BUSY MOM”.
The busy mom category made me giggle because what mom isn’t “the busy mom”? I think this group could also be called “Every Mom on the Planet”.
So with the “Busy Mom” in mind, I asked several of my busy mom friends what they would like for Mother’s Day this year. Overwhelmingly the answer was “to get a break for a little while”.
Most of the moms loved the idea of a pre-paid gift certificate for a house cleaner. (Ummm, Yes please! I have to say that sounds awesome to me too.) Other moms wanted to get away to a spa for a few hours.
Several moms suggested that they wanted to try one of the meal services that deliver the fresh groceries, recipe and cooking instructions like Blue Apron. Ohhhhhh me too! me too! I want to try Blue Apron ( hint* hint* Mr. Paint Yourself a Smile)
Here are 17 gift ideas I found from around the internet that the busy mom may enjoy….

Jenny,
Where did you go?
Maureen
Hi Maureen. I’ve actually been working on a new post and will be back this week. I apologize for the break. My husband became seriously ill a year ago and we’re still working through his recovery. I just needed a brief break from projects to focus on family for a moment. All is good though and it’s time to get back to work. Plus my family has informed me that I have to go back to creating and blogging because apparently I’m really grumpy when I’m not making stuff. Or so I hear anyway. (Lol)
Thank you for inquiring, I seriously appreciate it.
XO,
Jenny
Hi Jenny,
You found so many great gift ideas for the busy mom! I might need a mug with ‘this might be wine’. Feel like that is the only way I am surviving this crazy time in my life right now! 🙂 Hope you have a fabulous Mother’s Day!
Oh gosh, I can’t decide what i like the best! Of course the spa gift certificate is a no-brainer, but I love the idea of the travel water color set. And I am still pretty much in the dark about the instant pot…but I’m intrigued about the ‘instant’ part!
Love the mug about Wine…too darn fun.
Thanks for gathering these great ideas my friend…I just might have to explore the instant pot.
Hugs, Lynn
I’m so intrigued too. I think this post may work against me because suddenly I have found a ton of things I NEED 🙂
Wishing you a wonderful weekend my friend
Jenny
My two favorite gifts are my Instantpot and my automatic wine bottle opener! Your list is spot on and gave me great ideas for others. Thanks, Jenny!
Thanks for the great suggestion with the wine opener my friend 😉
From Mr Paint Yourself A Smile … sure Blue Apron if I get that Ninja Coffee Maker
Oh my gosh, both of those coffee cups are awesome! This is such a great list of gift ideas. I’ve been eyeing that Ninja Coffee Bar for a while now, and Blue Apron would be such a time saver. I am forwarding this list onto my hubby! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Robin! I’m thinking we need a “this might be wine” on a water bottle to bring to Haven. 😀
You have so many great things that I have not thought of. Blue Apron is a great gift that I would love to receive. I recently purchased the Instapot and it is an unbelievable time saver! Thanks for the ideas.
Sherry, I need to pick your brain on the instapot. I really want one. Thanks for coming by
Hugs,
Jenny
