Christmas Gift Ideas for Mom

Each Christmas, my kids love giving me gifts. The biggest challenge they have is finding something that I'll like that's in a reasonable price range. 

I've learned that if Mom makes a Christmas Wish List with pictures, it helps the kids a ton. 

They feel so proud of their Christmas gift choices and can't wait to wrap it and give it to me on Christmas morning.

If you're looking for inexpensive Christmas Gift Ideas for Mom, we hope this list inspires!

The Light We Carry: Overcoming Uncertain Times by Michelle Obama

The Light We Carry: Overcoming Uncertain Times by Michelle Obama (Hardcover)


I am a huge fan of Michelle Obama and absolutely LOVED her first book, Becoming. It was one of the most inspiring books I've read.

This appears to be just as fabulous as she shares more of her own personal story and how she works through and overcomes so many of the strong feelings that we all feel as humans.


Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing by Matthew Perry (Hardcover)

Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing by Matthew Perry (Hardcover)


At night, before bed when I'm trying to wind down I watch one of three shows: Friends, Mom, or Seinfeld. These shows soothe me and help my brain turn off from all of the day's adventures.

Friends has been one of my go-to shows for a long time. I love learning more about the actors and actresses involved and where they are today. 

When I heard Matthew Perry was writing a book, I couldn't wait to read it.


Folding Pedal Exerciser


Folding Pedal Exerciser


A few months ago my bicycle desk broke. It was quite devastating to me as I do a lot of my exercising while I work, and haven't been able to since.

We've looked into getting a new bicycle desk, but at this point it's not really in the cards. As I've looked around for other options, this folding pedal exerciser became an option.

The more I read about it, the more I love it as I can use it while I'm working at the computer desk, at the table of when watching something on the TV.

I love that it's so compact and can be stored in small places easily.


3 lbs Ankle Weights

3 lb Ankle Weights


I absolutely love my lower body workout, but it's beginning to be too easy. These weights will add the extra challenge I need to keep going and take things to the next level.

They'll also be great to use on walks, especially if I'm needing to move a bit slower than usual with Sunshine in tow.


Keyboard and Mouse Pad Wrist Support Set


Keyboard Mouse Pad Wrist Support Set


As a blogger, I'm on the computer ALL THE TIME. 

Even before I became a blogger I was developing carpel tunnel syndrome. 

Last year I injured my hand and now wear a brace when I work.

I am in desperate need of some wrist supports while I work.

These supports are absolutely beautiful and in my favorite color!

Compact Camera Bag for Cannon Camera


Camera Bag


Photography is part of my job as a blogger. 

I have a beautiful Cannon DSL camera, without a case to store it in. The poor thing literally sits on my desk or on a high shelf in my kitchen.

It's time to give my camera some tender love and care, and to provide opportunities to take pictures on the go.

This case will allow me to do all of that!


The Crown Season 3


The Crown Season 3 Blu-ray


If you've known me for any length of time, you know I love following the royal family. 

The Crown is one of my favorite shows. I've watched seasons 1 and 2 and anxiously waiting to begin season 3 once I receive this gift!

Big Miracle Blu-ray

Big Miracle Blu-ray


This movie has been a favorite, for quite a while. I love whales, cold weather, and native culture. Unfortunately, I've never owned it.

Now that Sunshine is home, we're a PG family when she's present. (She can't handle PG-13 movies yet.) 

This will be a great option to have on Friday night movie night to watch as a family and introduce to Sunshine.


Khaki Stretch Cotton A-Line Maxi Skirt Size X-Large

Khaki Stretch Cotton A-Line Maxi Skirt Size X-Large


Last Christmas I received this beautiful wool green and blue sweater.  I absolutely love it!

The problem is that other than jeans, I have nothing to wear it with.

This skirt will allow me to wear the sweater at church and to other events.



ZOYA Happy Holo-Days Quad

ZOYA Happy Holo-Days Quad


Polishing my nails is a form of self-care. ZOYA is my favorite brand of nail polish. 

I absolutely love darker colors and how they look with my skin tone and nails. 

This is a set that I do not own, that I can't wait to try out as it includes colors that go along with multiple outfits.

Wilton Non-Stick 9 inch Pans

Wilton Non-Stick 9 inch Pans with Lids


We make just about every meal, dessert, and snack from scratch at our house. 

Now that Sunshine is home, we're making a gluten free, corn free, soy free, dairy free, refined sugar free version of everything, along with the regular version for everything else.

Many of Sunshine's recipes are designed to be made in a 9x9 square pan, which we don't own. These pans with lids will be very helpful!


Pyrex Lids Replacement Set (9 Pack)


Pyrex Food Storage Lids 9 Pack


We use Pyrex containers and lids on a daily basis. The containers hold up really well, but after four or five years, the lids have cracked and torn.

I am so thankful that Pyrex makes lid replacements so I don't have to buy a brand new set. 

No one at our house enjoys using plastic wrap, especially since the containers aren't stackable without the lids.

Keeping things neat and organized helps my sanity so much!

To some, these Christmas gift ideas may seem silly, but to me they're perfect. 

I hope they inspire you to come up with the perfect gift for a mother in your life!
