Christmas Gift Ideas For Mom - Part 2

Top 10 Christmas Gift Ideas For Mom - Part 2

Ok, here’s part two of my top ten Christmas gift ideas for mom. Last time we covered quite a few really great ideas that, hopefully, got you started thinking about unique gifts for your mom this year. I actually talk to my mom last night about what she wanted this yea for Christmas, and after I told her what I had on this list I’m sharing with you, she said to mark a few of them down for her.

So, I’ve kept you waiting long enough, here we go…


Looking for Christmas Gift Ideas for Mom - Part 1

6.  Electric Food Slicer

To be honest with you, I’ve always wanted an electric food slicer for my kitchen. I usually just cut things up with knives, but when I work on making jerky or slicing cabbage for sauerkraut, it becomes very time consuming and tedious. I’ve known for a long time that buying meat in its whole state is cheaper.

For example, pork tenderloins are cheaper when you buy them as a whole, uncut piece of meat. I like to slice them about ¾ of an inch thick, pound them out, bread them and fry them for tenderloin sandwiches. This would make that process go a whole lot quicker!

7.  Aromatherapy Diffuser

I love anything that has to do with aromatherapy! I love the essential oils, the diffusers and even candles. I burn a lot of candles around our house, but I’m always a little nervous that the kids might bump them or start something on fire. A diffuser would eliminate that concern for me. I love the smell and health benefits that we can get from aromatherapy diffusers. Giving this as a Christmas gift for your mom will allow her to enjoy the relaxing or energizing benefits of essential oils all year long.

8.  Towel Warmer and Room Radiator

I hate using a cold or damp towel after my shower or a nice soak in the tub. It kind of ruins my mood…like putting on a wet bathing suit, yuck! I would really love to get a towel warmer for my bathrooms. I could see myself warming up clothes for those cold winter mornings or drying wet jackets and coats after being out in the weather. I think putting one in the guest bath would really be a cool way to make friends and family feel like they were on a spa vacation when they come to visit!

My mom is nearly 70 years old this year and I know that older people can have a more difficult time in regulating their body heat. That’s why they always have their thermostats turned up so high in the winter. A towel warmer would make the perfect gift for mom on Christmas day!

9.  Kindle Paperwhite 3G

I love my Kindle, I love reading books anytime, anywhere. But, I have a few issues with the model that I have and I would love to get an upgrade for Christmas! This new Kindle Paperwhite 3G has a nicely lit background that doesn’t glare or “blind” me as I’m trying to read. (I tried reading from my best girlfriends to see if I would like it.) She says the battery in hers will outlast mine by 4 or 5 days. Hmm, I could really use that when we’re traveling and I forget to pack the USB cable to charge it back up.

10.  Tiffany Style Lamp

I love mission style furniture and we have several pieces in our home, my favorite being my writing desk. I’ve always dreamed of having a Tiffany style lamp to set on the corner of my desk, it would feel so warm and inviting. I really like this Quoizel lamp I found, it would go perfectly on my desk!






Well, there you have my “top 10” Christmas gift ideas for mom. At least this mom would love to get any or all of those gifts this Christmas! I hope you have found a few gold nuggets in there that you can get for your mom or wife. If not, perhaps I’ve inspired your thoughts on other things she might enjoy receiving from you.

It’s the thought that you put into the gift that counts the most, especially with moms. Sometimes, women can be hard to buy gifts for because we rarely take the time to think through what we want as a gift. Many times we “give”, but hardly ever think about receiving gifts.

Use this list and find a few really special Christmas gift ideas for your mom or wife something that will make this Christmas really special for her. She’ll be overjoyed at the amount of thought you put into it, and that fact that she won’t be getting another set of dishtowels or potholders.

Take care everyone and have a very Merry Christmas 2013!

Christmas Gift Ideas For Mom - Part 1

Best Christmas Gift Ideas For Mom - Part 1

Moms really try to give their best to those they love. Their kids, their husbands and their friends all have a place in their heart. When it comes around to Christmas time, moms tend to be the ones who orchestrate getting the family together and having a good time.

We all want to give mom something special for Christmas, but it can be hard to decide what to get when it seems like she has everything already! I’ve included a few Christmas gift ideas for mom below, in case you are stuck on what to get your mom.

Being a mom myself, my kids and husband ask me every year what I want for Christmas. And honestly, it’s hard to answer because I rarely think about getting things for myself or what I would get if I could have anything given to me. So, this year I’m taking some time to really think about what I would want from my kids, husband, family or friends. I’ve come up with a few that I think will be a perfect fit. (I’ve added some of them to my Christmas ideas list for my mom as well.)

So, getting to the point, here is my top 10 list of Christmas Gift Ideas For Mom:


1.  Flannel Bed Sheets

I would actually LOVE to get a new set of sheets for our king sized bed. It would be great to have two or three sets of flannel sheets for the winter time, that way I could have different colored option. I would certainly thank the giver every time I got into a nice warm cozy bed! Preferably 100% cotton for easy care and longevity. Other blends don’t seem to last quite as long as the 100% cotton does.

 2.  Reclining Massage Chair

I’ve always (secretly) wanted a reclining massage chair. They look fantastic and would feel incredible after a long day on my feet. Of course, I’d let other people sit in, once in a while. ;-) Seriously though, this would be great for any mom who has a sore back or could use a massage…like a pregnant or new momma. This would be a great gift for mom anytime of the year…birthday, Mother’s Day, Valentine’s Day…

3.  Ciao! Baby Portable Travel High Chair

Too bad my kids are too old for this cool portable travel highchair, but I think for a new mom or grandma this would be one of the most functional highchairs to have around! Besides a Christmas family gathering, I can think of so many places to use it…camping, vacations, restaurants, picnics, visiting relatives or any other outings with little ones. It’s portable, easy to care for, light weight and packs easy too. Man, where were these when my kids were that little??

4.  Unique Family Tree Picture Frame (including ten frames)

I love having picture of my family around the house, especially at Christmas time! And I’m always looking for unique picture frames. This one could be used to explain to my kids how they are related to other family members. I could put grandparents at the top then work down through the tree ending with the kids. Aw, now I REALLY want one. I think I’m going to add this to my list of Christmas gift ideas for MY mom, I know she’d love it too.

5.  Apple iPhone Wallet Cover

These are so cool to me. I really don’t like having to carry a purse when I’m out shopping or running errands and this would be very handy. There are 4 different colors of the iPhone Wallet covers, but I like the green one the best, it almost matches the color of my car! It has some awesome reviews from other people too which was reassuring.




That’s part one of my Christmas gift ideas for mom. I will give you the rest of my top ten list in my next post, so be sure to come back and check it out. I need to run and feed the kids a snack, they just came in from playing in the backyard…and they are “starving to death”!  ;-)

Enjoy the list above and feel free to go check out a few things that your mom might like under her Christmas tree this year.

Talk to ya’ll again soon.
