As a toddler mom myself (and two “older” toddlers/kids), I know just how exhausting this phase of life is.

Yes, there are so many precious, unforgettable moments, but it can also be a non-stop, no-time-for-yourself endeavor.

And most toddlers, especially young ones, aren’t at the point where they can voice appreciation quite yet. So, they literally are “taking” from you all day long.

This is also the case for new moms.

But, lucky for you, since I’ve been in this phase of life for several years with all of my kids, I put together this helpful gift ideas for moms with toddlers.

These gifts for moms of toddlers are perfect for the holiday season, birthdays, Mother’s Day, Christmas, pregnancy/postpartum and any other occasion!

Whether you don’t know what to buy the special woman in your life, or you’ve already exhausted all of your ideas, these great gift ideas for moms of toddlers don’t have to break the bank.

Many of these things are okay to be duplicated if that busy mom already has it – and are good for every season of life – pregnancy, postpartum, early motherhood, grandma’s, etc!

For instance, it’s okay to have several pairs of comfy socks or easy bags to go out with.

We’re not focusing on the diaper bag, high chairs, or other things that come with toddlers. This gift guide is for the MOMS!

The most important thing is the thought – and the intention behind each of these.

Functional Gift Ideas for Moms of Toddlers

Many of these gift ideas are practical (and thoughtful!) and things she can use every day, such as things for her morning routine, wardrobe and even self-care wind down.

• Bathtub Tray – A great way for mom to relax with a book, coffee or tea, iPad, or even a drink. It’s a game changer! I can’t stop using mine!
• Epsom salts – May as well add some relaxing epsom salts and magnesium to the bath, too.
• Meal delivery – Moms with toddlers probably deal with picky eating and exhaustion from cooking every meal. A meal delivery service would be a breath of fresh air so they can actually make and enjoy some meals for themselves! I love Blue Apron, Sun Basket, Home Chef and Hello Fresh.
• Comfy clothes – Moms with toddlers thrive on being comfortable (myself included), so why not treat her to a nice lululemon sweatshirt.
• Lululemon bag – Of course this works great as an easy purse, and can even hold a diaper, snacks and keys for quick park outings. Lululemon has so many great comfy gift ideas for moms of toddlers.
• Warm socks – These lululemon socks are SO SOFT and comfortable.
• Clean makeup – There are so many great “clean” brands now. I’ve used Bare Minerals and and Thrive and Honest myself, but there are lots of options.
• Sneakers – All moms could use a nice pair of sneakers, and these cute options are under $30, and SO many colors!
• Electrolytes – A favorite stocking stuffer! Grab some NUUN tabs or UCAN electrolytes to keep mom hydrated.
• Essential oils – Essential oils are a lovely way to wind down and practice self-care while reading on her kindle!
• Craft kits – For toddler moms like myself who can’t seem to make our own crafts, these craft kits make it easier. Or even this toddler activity guide for guidance!
• Cute memory books – I love these types of albums for personalizing babies and toddlers’ first years.
• Matching pajames – I’ve used Little Sleepies in the past, but any matching pajama sets for mom and toddlers are always appreciated. Even just matching sweatshirts are super cute!
• Foam roller – Am I the only mom who foam rolls? I’m always so sore! Foam rolling is one of the best gifts for moms of toddlers because our body just can’t bounce back!
• Gift cards to her favorite restaurant or coffee shop – She can save these for a little self-care date day!
• Cometeer – Busy moms wake up looking forward to coffee, it’s a fact. I got hooked on Cometeer two years ago and now I can’t imagine life without it! No brewing is necessary, just thaw the pod (or you can do it overnight) in warm water and add boiling water to melt it, adding your favorite milk/cream/sugar options. So easy and seriously, the best coffee ever!
• A subscription to skillshare – Many moms have hobbies or things they want to learn but just lack the time and resources. This option brings it right to them!
• Facial massager – A great wind down routine before bed.

Splurge Gifts for Busy Moms with Toddlers

These unique gifts for moms with toddlers are a little higher ticket value, but totally worth it in my opinion!

The toddler years are beautiful and hard and exhausting all rolled up in one.

Sometimes she needs some things to just make her feel like herself every now and again.

• Coffee mug to keep her coffee warm – No more needing to microwave every 5 minutes, this mug can keep her coffee as warm as she likes it.
• Lume Box – Red light therapy has several benefits for improving skin health, blood flow and so much more! I can’t say enough good things about my Lume Box, I use it for 5-7 minutes before bed – plus you can get a $260 discount right now!!
• A nice bra or jammies – I absolutely LOVE my Kindred Bravely set of jammies and nursing tanks. Even if moms of toddlers aren’t nursing anymore, these pieces are timeless, extremely comfortable and functional!
• Kindle – We definitely frequent the library often as moms of toddlers, but a kindle brings the library to her! I think a digital reading device is one of the best gifts for moms of toddlers because she can read anywhere.
• Ninja – I’m a sucker for a good smoothie, it’s one of the best ways I recover from my workouts AND Hydrate at the same time. I love the pre-made Daily Harvest smoothies, but I’ll also use my ninja to make an easy smoothie with protein powder after a good workout or for breakfast.
• Hotel night stay – Even a simple hotel stay night away by herself is a wonderful gift idea for moms with toddlers. We always crave silence and it’s a great chance to catch up on a good book or series. I love to check out local b&b’s an hour from where we live.
• Blow dryer Quick hairdryer – Moms with toddlers are limited on time, so why not an appliance that creates a blow out at home so she doesn’t have to go anywhere?
• Custom jewelry – I absolutely love my new pieces from Erin McDermott – a beautiful necklace or bracelet can instantly upgrade her wardrobe.
• Good cookware that lasts– While I love our caraway sets (if you’re willing to invest, they are the BEST!), this set is much more affordable and just as beautiful with raving reviews.
• Custom family portrait – These cute portraits on Etsy are wonderful and personalized gifts that moms will cherish forever.
• A fancy coffee maker – I’m always looking at Black Friday deals for a nice espresso machine or coffee maker, since I can’t NOT have 2-3 cups every day.

Hopefully, these simple gifts for moms with toddlers can help you spoil those special women in your life!
