14 Christmas Gift Ideas for Moms

Don’t hurt me for mentioning Christmas before Halloween has passed. But I thought it was important to get these ideas in your heads now before the holiday season sneaks up on you.

As a mom of three, I’ve learned that the holiday season is not for the mamas. Everyone is focused on buying toys and the latest gadgets. However, if you want to be included in this year’s Santa list, go ahead and send this list to your friends and family so that they know how to spoil you this holiday season.

14 Christmas Gift Ideas for Moms (pregnant/postpartum edition):

• Prenatal vitamins

• Massage certificate

• Postpartum gift box

• Photography session

• Postpartum guide book

• Click here to read the rest of the list (#14 is my favorite!)

All of the gifts on this list are for moms, pregnant or postpartum. This isn’t a list of gifts for moms that are secretly for the baby (i.e., a baby-wearing wrap, a breast pump). I mean, if you want to add that to your Christmas list, by all means! But don’t forget that your needs and wants matter, too. Get you a gift that will make you happy!
