Consider this your reminder to send that card, order the flowers, and make plans if you haven't already! I totally get it -- life gets crazy and when you combine that with a "tradition" of being a procrastinator... gift giving can get a little stressful! I'm working on an IG TV episode of some of my momma must-haves but I thought I'd share a few of them with you now in case you think they might make great gifts for the mom in your life (yourself included!).

Ideas that you could have in hand by Sunday
|
Revlon One-Step Hair Dryer and Styler
- This hair dryer was recommended to me by more than 1 momma and I'm now a total convert to actually having blown-out hair on the regular. I've got long hair and a lot of it (check out my
IG
if you don't believe me) and this thing takes my hair from barely towel dry to full on blow-out in less than 15 minutes. Feeling / looking put together without spending forever on my hair? That's a "yes" from me!

Waterproof Kindle Paperwhite
(this just went on sale this week!) - I love reading but I'm always worried about books getting damaged now that I've got a little one that I seem to always be nursing or cleaning or cleaning up after so I'm super glad I found this waterproof Kindle. It's the only way I've gotten any reading done since Alexander was born and whether she wants to read something fun and distracting or a guilty pleasure or personal development, you know Kindle will have it. I highly recommend making sure you add a cover for it too (that bundle is on sale as well!).

Mom Juice
Wine Tumbler
- Whether she prefers
teal
or
rose gold
(both are gorgeous!), this
wine
tumbler
will probably become her go-to... which I say because I have one just like this and it's my favorite. Keeps wine cool (important when kiddos distract you from enjoying that whole glass at once), the lid makes it harder to spill, and it's not really breakable! Paired with a bottle of vino, this would be an awesome gift!

Beachbody On Demand Membership
- If she's into fitness, wants to be, loves yoga, just wants to get moving, or any combination of those things, I think she'll love this (especially if you promise to do some of the workouts with her...)! Personally, the
3 week yoga retreat
available in this
"netflix for workouts"
is one of the best things ever IMO and the cooking show on it has inspired some of our favorite meals. Being able to workout at home has always made my life easier but as a mom, it's great to know that I'm right there with my kiddos even when I need a good sweat-sesh. || There are multiple packages for signing up for this but I recommend the
bundle
that includes the first month of
super-delish superfood shakes
(that can always be skipped, changed, or cancelled and there's a 30 day 100% money-back guarantee so no-lose there) which saves $100 compared to buying things separately.
As a bonus, if you go the
discount bundle route
, I'll throw in a $40 Lululemon or Amazon gift card just to sweeten the gift -- or for you to keep yourself. I won't tell her!
Enrollment is immediate but obviously it would take a couple days to get the physical part of the bundle to your mailbox! BTW - the shake mix is how I make my
healthy peanut butter cups
so be sure to give her that recipe too!

Ideas you could order and let her know are on the way
|
Just for fun... how about some ideas you can let her know are on the way while supporting other moms? I don't have any special deal links or coupon codes for these but I love these mom-owned businesses and -- especially if the momma in your life is nursing or pumping for their little one, they're sure to love these products!
Sarah Wells Bags
- Going back to work after baby is hard enough but if you're trying to pump and work not-from-home, that just adds to what all has to go with you. I can't say enough good about Sarah Wells Bags, their customer service, and the VIP community they've created on facebook. If you join their mailing list, they usually mail you a first time order coupon code. I have, love using, and always get compliments on my Claire bag (brown), Kelly bag (deco), two pumparoos (anchor and deco), pumpease (deco), and cold gold bottle cooler (deco).
Latched Mama
- Nursing-friendly clothes have come a long way but sometimes it's still hard to find something cute, quality, and easy to use. I really like my dress from Latched Mama and can't wait to order more of her stuff. You wouldn't believe the number of compliments I got and no one could tell it was made to be a nursing-friendly dress! They do send out promos to their email list so sign up if you're interested in that!
Banky Girl Creations
- Their mom-wear is super cute and she just added nursing sweatshirts that are the perfect weight for all year-round! I've ordered a few times and they always deliver quality stuff quickly! Check out the
VIP group
for discount codes or subscribe to her emails for news and savings.

I hope this list helps!! Got other ideas? We're still working on Mother's Day gifts too for some of our loved mommas so I'd love to hear your favorite gifts (given or received)!
And to all you moms -- bio, step, adoptive, foster, angel, and honorary -- you're amazing and I hope you get some time this weekend to celebrate you!
