DIY holiday gifts are amazing, but not all of us are #blessed with the skills of a Pinterest pro. But when it comes to finding the perfect present for a busy mom we adore (or moms, for those who are lucky enough to be part of a mom squad) grabbing a Christmas-themed hand lotion or prepackaged gift set can seem too impersonal. But it can be hard to decide what to get for a mom who's always on the go — someone constantly running from work, school drop off, to an appointment and then back again.
Obviously, it's the thought that counts and anything gifted with a pure intention will be met with delight and gratitude. But sometimes we want to get a gift will wow them, something they'll love that will also be super useful.
That's where these pretty and practical holiday gift ideas for multitasking moms come to the rescue. A mom who's forever getting things done for everyone else in her life and putting her needs near the bottom of the list deserves a gift that's helpful and also tells her how appreciated and amazing we think she is.
We've rounded up 20 gifts to help a supermom conquer the world, while also looking and feeling her best (Because she deserves it!) There's a stylish bracelet that doubles as an iPhone charging cable, to a near magical shower gel and lotion combo that will leave her moisturized and help her fall asleep at the same time. We've even added gifts to help her slay her fitness goals and find inner peace in 2019. A mom who's always on the go would be thrilled to unwrap any or all of these thoughtful presents. Check them out below and start elfing it up for an amazing mom or two … or maybe we'll just add them to our own list for Santa.
