Top Gift Ideas for Busy Moms 2020
Happy December! Today, I am sharing some gift ideas for busy moms. I’ll admit that moms can be tough to shop for as we often say we don’t need or want anything. (Or we’d rather shop for ourselves…when we have time!).
I have every single of these items in this post, so I can guarantee there is something here that is sure to be a hit with your favorite busy mom. Moms do most of the holiday gift buying, so when it comes to shopping for a mom, her family struggles with ideas. A lot of times moms say that don’t want or need anything. So, I’ve got some gift ideas for your mom or maybe you are on a mom who needs some ideas to give to your family.
Time Saving Gifts for Moms
One thing moms need? More time:) If you have a busy mom in your life who wants to stay more organized and efficient, consider one of these ideas.
KEY CHAIN RING
I asked for one of these key chain rings for my birthday last year and I love it. No more digging around in your purse for your keys. It is so easy to find this large ring in your bag.
It also doubles as a bracelet. So when, I am running a quick errand, I just keep the ring on my wrist. There are so many fun patterns and colors to choose from. These key rings are so durable and will last forever.
APPLE WATCH
If you really want to wow your mom, get her an Apple Watch. I LOVE my watch. My favorite feature is answering the phone or reading texts directly from the watch. I have the data plan for the watch (an extra monthly fee), so I am able to travel without my phone and still answer calls.
Also, you can track your steps, activity levels and workouts on the watch. There are a lot of fun features with the watch and I probably don’t even use half of them yet.
For an extra treat, get this cute leopard print watch band or one of the many other patterns.
PLANNER + STICKERS
For the mom who still likes to stay organized with paper and pen (that’s me!), pick out a pretty planner and some planner stickers! This gorgeous Spaces Planner would be a dream for a busy mom!
The best part of this planner is to two page spread for each week. There is plenty of room for moms to break down their weeks into all of the different tasks they need to do.
As a little extra gift, consider getting some planner stickers. You can really make the planner personalized ( and pretty!) with stickers.
Gifts for Health and Relaxation
Everyone mom could use a little time to recharge and relax! Here are some gift ideas for busy moms who could use a little rest and relaxation!
HEATED BLANKET
If you have a mom who is always cold, this heated blanket would be a great gift! My kids are always stealing my blanket, so you may need a couple of them!
MUG/CANDLE WARMER
It is not uncommon for busy moms to end up with a cold cup of coffee by the end of their mornings! This mug warmer would solve the cold coffee situation.
My daughter has one of these warmers and I steal it from her all of the time. It is on my wish list this holiday!
This warmer can also heat candles. It is nice to be able to warm candles (and not have to light them). Your candles last FOREVER with this warmer.
KINDLE E-READER
For the mom who likes to read, a Kindle is a great option. Moms can throw their Kindle in their purse and read whenever they can steal a few minutes (car pool line and kids’ sports practices!).
This Kindle is waterproof, so moms can even read when they steal away for a moment of peace in the bath!
BOOK OF THE MONTH SUBSCRIPTION
For busy moms who like to read hard cover book (instead of online books), consider a Book of the Month Subscription. There are different commitment options including 6 and 12 month subscriptions.
Each month, the recipient will receive an e-mail to make a book selection out of a list of curated book titles.
These books cover all different genres, so there is sure to be book options a mom would love! This gift idea is a great option for busy moms who want to read but do not have time to get to the store or library to get books!
Practical Gifts for Moms
Do you have a busy mom who prefers practical and very useful gifts?
DYSON STICK VACUUM
The Dyson Stick Vacuum is one vacuum all moms can use! I got one earlier this year and it is still a favorite cleaning tool. The best part is that it is so easy and lightweight that all of my kids are able to use it. Win-win!
There are several different models out there, but at the time I ordered mine, this version had the best ratings. Fortunately, it is not the most expensive option!
INSTANT POT OR AIR FRYER
Your busy mom might appreciate one of the two hottest kitchen gadgets trending this year. The Instant Pot allows moms to prep dinner in no time. The Instant Pot is the opposite of a Crock-Pot:) It’s 4:30 in the afternoon and you don’t know what’s for dinner. Throw some frozen chicken breasts or salmon fillets in the Instant Pot and you have dinner in 20 minutes.
Most Instant Pots have multiple features, so you can even saute, slow cook and steam food all in the Pot.
Another option for mom, is an Air Fryer. This kitchen appliance is also very popular and for good reason. It allows you to cook up some of your favorite foods in a healthier way. You can make perfect french fries, crispy bacon and chicken nuggets.
You can check out this review on Air Fryer versus Instant Pot to see which one might be a better option!
MILK FROTHER
Does your mom love coffee? Help her bring the coffee shop experience to home with an inexpensive Milk Frother.
She can turn her basic coffee drink into a latte or cappacchino!
Stylish Gifts for Moms
Moms who love fashion and style deserve a clothing subscription box! These subscription boxes are perfect for busy moms because they don’t have to leave their homes to shop. The box of clothing arrives straight to her door:)

Amazing gift ideas. Thank you so much for sharing. I was looking for a perfect gift for my mom, and I think a mug warmer will be a great gift for her as she needs 2-3 cups of coffee every day. Hope she loves it.
Yes–this is the perfect gift for busy moms!! I have one on my list too.
