Gift Ideas For Mom: 18 Gift Ideas for the Mom in Your Life

written by: Lo Mansfield, RN, MSN, CLC

As a mom myself, I know how overwhelming it can be to find gift ideas for the mom in your life. Whether she’s a new mom, has a full house already, or is somewhere in between, this guide is here to help! I’ve pulled together a list of tried-and-true gifts that will make life a little easier (and cozier) for moms. Spoiler alert? She’s going to love them…which I know because I have them or they’re on my list this year too. From practical household helpers to little luxuries, we’ve got it all covered.

But before we dive into all of these gift ideas for mom – Who is The Labor Mama and Why Am I Here?

Hey friend! I’m Lo – also known around here and social media as The Labor Mama. I’ve spent my nursing career in labor, delivery, and postpartum, have birthed 4 of my own babies, have labored thousands of mamas at the bedside, have taught thousands of students online, and have even delivered a few speedy little babies with my bare hands (oops).

Here at TLM, I offer online classes about birth, postpartum, newborn care, and breastfeeding to empower you the way everyone should be. The education + support I offer gives you experience, evidence, and empathy; you’re getting all of my years of “clinical” RN knowledge, honestly combined with my real experiences as a mama, nurse, and CLC. These are not your average hospital classes (those won’t do it, I promise), and honestly, birth, postpartum, and breastfeeding don’t follow a textbook or protocol anyway. You need to know so much more than that!

If you want to connect with me further, head to Instagram. There are hundreds of thousands of us over there learning together daily.

Gift Ideas For Mom: For The Home

Let’s be real, home is where moms spend a lot of their time making magic happen, and anything that makes life easier at home is a total win. These home must-haves are perfect for helping moms keep things clean, organized, and maybe even a little more relaxing. Whether it’s a powerful vacuum or the softest sheets (because I know just how precious sleep really is right now), these gifts are sure to make her feel like the queen of her castle. 

Dyson V8 Cordless Vacuum Cleaner

Now, you might be wondering, “Will she really love something cleaning-related as a gift?” and the answer is YES! Having kids in the house is messy (BELIEVE ME, I KNOW). A cord-free vacuum makes the day-to-day a little more manageable, especially if you’re sad like me because you don’t have a dog to be the vacuum.

BISSELL Little Green Machine

Yes, again. She will love this cleaning machine. Whether there are kids or pets, this is a necessity that makes her days easier—knowing spills don’t have to mean stains. Honestly, this thing is magic. I cannot believe the stains it can get out; it’s honestly mesmerizing to watch.

Hamilton Beach Breakfast Sandwich Maker

Whether she’s in the trenches of babies + toddlers or getting kids up for school, this sandwich maker is a lifesaver! It makes it so easy to have a quick and yummy breakfast on those busy mornings. My entire family LOVES using this little thing!

Our Place Always Pan

It’s no secret that mom often ends up on dinner duty, but I promise with this pan she won’t mind! It’s beautiful, non-toxic, and super easy to clean. The color options are SO beautiful. Plus, it can do everything from make noodles to oven baking.

Quince Bamboo Sheet Set

If you’ve been around TLM, you know I love Quince! These bamboo sheets are a great way to spoil the mama in your life (we have 2 sets (so far) and I love them so much). Affordable, high-quality, and available with or without the top sheet (for all you non-top-sheet people).

Quince European Linen Stripe Sheet Set

Another Quince win! These linen sheets are beautiful, breathable, and budget-friendly. If you are in the postpartum season or will be at some point, I really do love how breathable these are. Treat mom to these, and she might never want to get out of bed again. A girl can dream…

Bearaby Cotton Napper Weighted Blanket

If mom loves to cozy up on the couch, this is the perfect gift. This weighted blanket is perfect for Sunday naps or cuddles with the kiddos.

Brumate Era 40oz

Move over, Stanley! I know, I know, don’t get mad at me. This Brumate is the cup for moms. It’s actually leak-proof (because spills happen and the Stanley is NOT leakproof at all), and comes in so many fun colors and prints. Hydration just got a lot easier!

Gift Ideas For Mom: Accessories

Every mom deserves a little something that makes her feel special. These accessories are all about comfort and style, perfect for when she wants to feel put-together but stay super cozy. Whether it’s a pair of soft slippers or a personalized necklace, these thoughtful picks will make her feel appreciated.

Ugg Scuffette II Slipper

Whether her feet are always cold or she just needs cute house slippers, these Uggs are a perfect choice. They’re cozy, stylish, and come in lots of colors — so you really can’t go wrong. My pair has lasted for years!

Allbird Women’s Wool Runner Go

Whether mom is into running or just needs comfy shoes for busy days, these are a great option. With plenty of color choices, these will fit seamlessly into her wardrobe. And honestly? They’re the perfect neutral show that you really can wear with anything. I love that they don’t have some sort of emblem, so you can still rock a tennis shoe without having to try to match a whole outfit to it.

It Is Well Necklace

Joanna Gaines knew what she was doing with this one. This necklace is meaningful and simple, reminding mom that grace is enough—and so is she. And if the mom you love is into the layering look, I love having this necklace add some length.

Sideways Initial Necklace

This personalized necklace is perfect for the mom who loves sentimental gifts. Add initials of loved ones so she can keep them close every day. I have my 4 babies’ initials on my neck at least 5 days a week!

Eufy Wearable Breast Pump

Yes, a breast pump is an accessory! If mom’s in the thick of breastfeeding, this is a game-changer. They Eufy is personal favorite (and I’ve gotten to try a ton)—it’s more affordable than Elvie, and just as effective (if not more)! I love the heating element and the chargeable case really is just so, so good. I really can’t say enough good things about this pump and it would be such a treat to the pumping mom in your life to get this.

The perfect legging didn’t exist—until these came along. Mom will love these for workouts, lounging, or anything in between. Pregnant or hoping to be soon?
