Here are some gift ideas to consider in different categories…

Gifts for The Home Office

The home office is a work-from-home mom’s kingdom. Why not help her create a lovely space that will inspire her every day!

A Great Desk or Accent Chair

A pretty desk chair can make a working momma feel like the queen of her world. It will invite her to sit down and get to work in style. A great tufted swivel chair is always in vogue. There are so many colors to choose from too so consider the theme of her office space. 

If mom is more practical and works long hours then think about a smart-looking ergonomic chair option. 

If mom already has a desk chair and has a spacious office an accent chair for a reading nook or for clients to sit in could be a great gift too. 

Desk Organizer or Storage System

Clutter can make a work-from-home mom not even want to enter her office. One solution to all those papers and to-dos is a stylish desk organizer. There are so many pretty ones. Some have drawers. Some hold pens, and some hold files. Have a look at the options that will best meet the needs of the mom in your life by the type of work she does. 

Office Supplies Set

There is just something that feels elegant in the office when you have a matching set of desk accessories. Everything you need in one beautiful color. I am partial to a rose gold set myself but think about the mom’s favorite colors and styles. 

Desk Mat and Mouse Pad

A desk mat is not only useful to make your mouse work better they can also protect your desk and make the area easier to clean. Find a desk mat with a great warranty that is the perfect size with different color options. 

Cell Phone and Tablet Stand

I love an aluminum phone stand that I use for both my phone and iPad. I keep it by my desk so I can look over at the screen and use my smart device as needed. It helps keep everything in view and tidy. 

Headphones Stand

Where do you put those headphones when they are not in use? Cramped in a drawer they can get broken and just laying on the desk the cord gets in the way. A headphone stand can fix all this and looks sharp too.  

Laptop Bag

A great feminine laptop bag is perfect for carrying your smart device or laptop when you need to get out of the house and work remotely. Sometimes busy moms need a change of scenery to get creative again. 

The Gift Of Tech

Technology can help moms work faster and smarter to get more done and have time for the things they hold most important.

Reusable Smart Notebook 

If you have a notebook junkie mom among you like myself a smart notebook could be a fantastic gift. With a Smart Notebook, moms get the satisfaction of writing by hand but the notebook can be used again and again and notes are stored digitally in the cloud. 

Noise-Canceling Headphones

Noise can be a huge distraction when working from home especially when you have children. A great pair of noise-canceling headphones can be a game-changer. 

Baby Monitor

Mommas worry about their children and having a great baby monitor so they can watch children nap or play while they work can offer a great amount of peace even when they are closed in the home office. Great even if the children aren’t babies.

Temperature-Controlled Smart Mug

Moms get busy and forget about our hot beverages. A smart mug can be a great solution to keep our tea or coffee hot while we work whenever we remember to take a sip. 

Smart Garden 

If you have a plant and herb-loving work-from-home mom in your life a smart garden could be just the thing. It can work in the office on your desk or in the kitchen to have fresh herbs that smell delicious ready for those lunch breaks. 

Digital Picture Frames

Moms love pictures and looking at their families. Having a digital picture frame on our desk that rotates our favorite memories can give us motivation to keep going on those challenging days. 

Laminator Machine

If mom likes to print off a lot of things that need to be protected a laminator machine makes a great gift. These are great for making activities to keep the kids busy while we work too!

Eco Dot

What mom could not use the help of an assistant from time to time! From playing music to setting timers to controlling the house an eco dot or smart device is a great desk assistant. 

iPad or Tablet

I love my iPad for digital planning and for working remotely when I need a change of scenery. A tablet or smart device may be a great gift for mom and you can make it even more special with some accessories. I love my iPad stylus,  a great iPad case, and Paper Feel Screen Protector.

A New Computer

Is momma working from a dinosaur computer like I was up until recently?

This may not be in every gift budget and that’s ok. But if mom could use a faster computer you could think about pulling multiple resources together to get her one. 

My family and friends gifted me a new desktop iMac and I cannot even begin to tell you the difference it has made in my work life. I can get so much more done now. My teal iMac brings cheer to my home office with its hint of natural green.

Gifts For Productivity

Being productive helps moms like myself get their time back so we can spend with family and focus on our health and other important areas of life.

Pomodoro Timer

The Pomodoro method is a great way to get tasks done while taking needed breaks. This can improve your work and health. A Pomodora timer for your desk offers a reminder to use the method and makes it so much easier. 

Planners, Desk Calendar, and Weekly To-Do List Notepads

Moms like to write stuff down. Depending on how mom likes to be productive a desk calendar, weekly peel-off to-do list, or a great planner can all make wonderful gifts. You could choose a weekly planner notepad, a large desk calendar, or a lovely carry with you planner.

Subscriptions To Online Task Management Platforms

If the mom in your life is more into managing things online then consider offering a yearly subscription to her favorite online task management platform whether that be Asana, ClickUp, Notion, or another one. I’ve tried them all but I’m a Notion fan now myself.

Another gift idea is some templates for one of the project management platforms. Etsy is a great resource for this.

Acrylic Dry Erase Boards

Some moms prefer to have a place to scribble their months and dreams on a board and a dry erase board for the desk or wall can be great for that. Clear acrylic dry-erase boards look stylish in any space.

Lap Desk

This is the right gift for the mom who loves to work from the bed or couch. After all, sometimes mom just needs to put her feet up while she works. Grab a lap desk in wood for a stylish finish.

Gifts For Home Life

Moms have not only office work to get done but also housework and a family to care for too. Here are some gift ideas to help. 

Robo or handheld Vacumn

These small vacuums can make cleaning the floor a breeze and mom’s life is full of spills and messes that need to be cleaned up quickly. Whether you go for a robo vacuum or a nice cordless vacuum mom will be thankful to be able to clean up quickly and easily or enlist family members to help.

Electric Spin Brush

These are great for cleaning windows, showers, mirrors, and even tile floors. Again they make quick work of the necessary cleaning so Mom can get back to doing what she does best. Why waste time cleaning when you could be building your empire? These efficient cleaning brushes get the job over and done.

Instant Pot and Crock Pots

I use my Instant Pot all the time. They can cook so many things so quickly. These help work-from-home moms to create set-it-and-forget-it meals that are ready when they finish work. Crock pots are great for overnight soup too.

Coffee or Tea Makers

For coffee-loving moms, a coffee maker with programmable features can have her coffee ready at whatever time she is. For tea lovers, a beautiful electric kettle can be a great gift idea.

I love my matcha ritual to start my work time. There are great matcha sets for matcha-loving moms too!

A tea or coffee subscription could be another great gift with different flavors being delivered right to her door. 

Another similar idea? A meal delivery service! Cooking meals for herself and the family can take up so much of a mom’s time. 

Gifts To Create A Calm Environment

​Gifts that help create a calm environment make hard work easier for mom as she goes through her daily routine. 

Throw Pillows

Decorative throw pillows can add color and texture to a home office and can also be practical to support her back or even arms when she is typing for much of the day. 

Blankets

A great throw blanket is wonderful to have on the back of your chair when you get chilled while you work. 

Candle Sets

Aromatherapy is a great way for moms to feel soothed and cared for while they work and a beautiful candle set can do the trick to create ambiance. 

Diffuser

A home diffuser is another way to enjoy lovely scents by pouring in essential oils. Many have soft lights that add to a calm environment too. Ones with a humidifier option can be great to keep the air moist. 

Plants

If you have a plant lover mom in mind then there are so many beautiful easy-to-care-for plants that can enhance her space and give her cleaner air. Just be mindful about the age of her children, some plants are toxic to children and also pets. 

You could gift the plant in a beautiful woven basket or pot to make it more special. 

The post Cultivate A Peaceful Home can give you more ideas. 

Gifts for Wellness and Self-Care

Moms can’t be all work or they will burn out fast. A wellness gift could be just the thing that work from home mom needs to encourage her to take a break. 

Fitness Tracker

Wearing a fitness tracker can be a great way for moms to remember to get up from their desks and move and get in those steps to keep our hearts healthy and strong. They can also monitor sleep to encourage moms to get more rest.

Resistance Bands

These are great to keep in the office to encourage stretching throughout the day. Resistance bands can help us mom work the shoulders and back that often get hunched over while we work. 

Balance Ball Chair

Sitting for long periods is not good for anyone. One solution is a balance ball chair. Mom can bounce and move around while she works then remove the ball from the stand and do some exercises and stretching. I would love to have a chair stand for my exercise ball. 

Acupressure Mat

An acupressure mat can offer a great break during the day and help mom relax those tired muscles. They can increase blood flow and give an energy boost naturally. 

Light Therapy Lamp

These are brilliant, especially during the winter months and can help beat those winter blues but they’re great for any time. Using a light therapy lamp in the office early in the morning can keep moms stay alert all day and can even improve sleep. 

Water Bottle

Staying hydrated can be a challenge but it is so important for keeping our minds sharp. Having a great bottle on the desk serves as a reminder to sip throughout the day. You can get a motivational water bottle that has the drink times on the side.

Stainless Steel Tumbler

A tumbler is another great option. It can be used for healthy smoothies, tea, or water. Bonus if it is a tumbler with a straw.

Relaxation Set

Some beautiful relaxation sets can give a work-from-home mom something special to look forward to at the end of the day when the kids are in bed. Time just for her. 

Ghua Sha Facial Tools

Ghua sha is something that I have found quite helpful for the tension that builds up around my eyes and my neck and jaws throughout the day, especially from working on the computer. Great gift for moms that doubles as skin care. You can give a Ghua Sha tool that comes in a pretty box and add little bottle of facial oil to the gift. 

Gift Baskets

One way to combine items and make the gifts more fun is by creating a gift basket. You could give the basket a theme like a self-care and wellness basket or an office accessories basket. Or you could mix and match gifts. Add a note and maybe even a voucher or gift certificate. You can also purchase already-made gift baskets.

Baskets are great because she can reuse the basket for other things and it becomes part of the gift. If you buy a set of baskets you have more ready for other gifts.

The Dollar Tree is a great resource for finding small items to add to your gift baskets and even the baskets!

You can add some DIY gifts too like body scrubs or soup and tea mixes.
