20+ Gifts for Toddler Moms

You guys, I would marry this vacuum if I could.

I never knew I could love a vacuum, and then I met this vacuum.

This isn't just a great gift for toddler moms... it's an essential gift for toddler moms. When you're sweeping up crumbs, cat/dog hair, dirt, and miscellaneous FILTH all day, every day, you want – nay, NEED – a vacuum that pops on and off the wall like a magic wand.

If you have a big enough budget... this is THE best gift you can give a toddler mom, I promise.

Depending on the age of her kid(s), a toddler mom is probably just broaching the phase where she doesn't need a 50-lb diaper bag anymore.

She still needs a big purse, so she can stuff it full of snacks for her hangry toddler, but it can actually be something she enjoys carrying around now. A nice purse might just be the first step towards feeling like a real-life human outside of her kids again.

Basically, this is your opportunity to gift a toddler mom a sense of self. How could you NOT want to do that?!

(And if a designer bag isn't in your budget, Target has loads of cute options, too!)

My husband got me this massager as a Christmas gift two years ago, and we still fight over it almost every night. It is AMAZING.

This toddler mom gift will knead away all her post-tantrum stress with the perfect combination of pressure and heat.

(Just make sure to get yourself one too, because mama ain't gonna share.)

After days upon days of cleaning up smooshed peas, crushed up crackers, poopy butts, pee-stained floors, and lord knows what else... we toddler moms have a hard time feeling "pretty."

Sometimes, a little pop of color on our lips is all it takes! This one is super soft and nourishing for your lips, and it's pretty much universally flattering, so no matter her skin tone or preferences, it's bound to make her feel fabulous.

More likely than not, mama has not had the time, energy, or desire to shop for herself in the past few years. Maybe her old clothes still fit, maybe she's still in maternity clothes, maybe she's just living in PJs and yoga pants... (a-hem, like yours truly).

A Stitch Fix gift card is honestly one of the BEST gifts you can give a mom. It's a gift she'll have to use on herself, but it will require minimal to no effort. She'll fill out an online style profile, and a box of clothes will show up on her doorstep.

I signed up a few months ago and have gotten three boxes – I've loved nearly every. single. thing. they've sent me!

Does this one even need explanation? Coffee is life. Give your toddler mom the gift of coffee.

While my daily latte doesn't make up for being awake at 3 am because my toddler's blanket came untucked, it does make the morning a little bit more bearable.

Toddler moms are tired. We're beat down. Sometimes we lose ourselves a bit.

Maybe a thoughtful gift from a close friend or family member is all the spiritual pick-me-up she needs!

Everyday Holy, by Melanie Shankle came highly recommended by one of my best friends, and I can't wait to read it myself.

Hey, moms don't have to choose between practical and cute! Remind her that she's still a ~cool mom~ with a pair of fun (but practical and comfy) sneakers.

(I may or may not have bought this as a gift to myself just a few days ago... so I can definitely say they're toddler mom approved!)

When in doubt, gift her jewelry, right? Toddler moms are no exception.

These beaded stretch bracelets at so cute and affordable ($20!), and they have lots of different colors and words available – boy mom, girl mom, strong AF, etc. – so there's bound to be a perfect option for your lady.

Okay, maybe it seems lame to gift a water bottle for a Christmas present, but hear me out.

I think I've established in this list that we're not great at taking care of ourselves, right? I'll force feed my 4-year-old cups upon cups of water during an afternoon at the park, only to lay down in bed that night and realize I haven't had more than three sips all day.

This water bottle will help her drink more – it's designed to flow more quickly (so she can CHUG with every free second she's got), and it's got a nice long strap that she can attach to whatever bag she's lugging around for the day.

It comes in four colors, so pick her favorite one!

If there's anything toddler moms universally love, it's comfort. So a warm, luxurious robe like this one by Barefoot Dreams is the perfect gift for a toddler mom.

If I'm going to be house-bound every afternoon, juggling two kids' nap schedules with snack time and dinner time... I should at least be cozied up, right?

This hairstyler would be a perfect gift for a toddler mom! Look, we consider ourselves lucky if we get to take a shower at all, let alone have time to dry and style our hair. So this Dyson Airwrap styler that can do it all, and do it all quickly would be a godsend.

Of course, if the Dyson Airwrap isn't in your budget (that thing is PRICEY), this is an awesome, affordable alternative.

THIS magical tool will help her get ready in – seriously – half the time. It's like a round brush mixed with a hairdryer. It'll be like a DIY in-home blowout (minus all the relaxation, of course).

I have thick, wavy hair, and have been using a hair straightener daily since I was about 13 years old. But this thing gets my hair about 90% straight, just after blow drying! I still touch up the hair around my face, and sometimes run the straightener over it to seal it, but it's nothing in comparison to the time I used to spend on my hair.

No explanation needed here, right? We all gotta have our wine after a long day of toddler momming, so this wine glass is a great gift that will bring a smile to her face (when she probably wants to cry).

Maybe candles are bit of a clichè gift to give, but let's be real – her house probably smells like trash.

She could use a nice candle, so she can close her eyes and pretend she's in a high-rise hotel, far, far away, for just a second... before the screams and clatters bring her crashing back to reality.

NEST candles are some of my absolute favorites – they all smell wonderful, and last a really long time.

Smart speakers make a great gift for moms. Do you know how many questions a toddler asks per day? Approximately 47,000. It's exhausting trying to come up with answers to them all.

Enter: Alexa and/or Google – the literal answer to all their questions.

We use ours to play music, get the weather forecast, control lights, adjust the temperature, listen to podcasts or stories, find out what sounds funny animals make... the list goes on and on.

Every toddler mom needs a good set of headphones.

Whether she's trying to binge watch the Real Housewives during nap time, jam to a little Taylor Swift at a playplace, or listen to a podcast while her toddler watches the same episode of Paw Patrol for the 67th time, these are a great gift she'll get LOTS of use out of.

I've recommended Loopy Cases in previous mom-survival posts, and I still maintain that it's one of the best gifts for any mom.

I've had a Loopy Case for my past three phones, and genuinely don't think I'll ever not use one. I don't think I've dropped my phone a single time since I started using these!

If the mom you're shopping for loves to cook, but hates mess and hassle (or just doesn't have the time for it) – this is your gift.

This is my all-time, absolute favorite cookbook ever. All the recipes are one-pot meals, either in the Instant Pot, air fryer, slow cooker, skillet, or sheet pan. They're simple, yet unique, and they're all delicious. The whole family will thank you for it!

Even if she doesn't think she's a crafty mom, the Cricut Explore Air 2 is a great gift for ANY mom. It's one of those things you didn't know you needed, until you have it, and realize all the things you can use it for!

Teacher gifts, class holiday gifts, holiday decorations, matching family t-shirts... the possibilities are actually endless

When in doubt... the best gift you can give a toddler mom is HELP. Whether that means hiring her a nanny or housekeeper, offering to babysit, bringing her dinner, or getting the kids out of her hair for a day, help is the only gift we really need.
