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. If I don’t do my red light therapy in the morning, it won’t happen.

While I mostly do red light therapy on my face, I really love the Lumebox because it also has the option to use it on your neck, back, legs and other sore areas to rejuvenate the mitochondria, whereas red light masks are limited to your face only.

This was the major reason I invested in this red light therapy product. Aside from that, I also love these products for skin care: A humidifier that actually works and can be washed in the dishwasher, the only serum that actually brightens my skin and my favorite lip butter balm.

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, which is why I always gift them with mom electrolytes, lactation bars (if they are nursing), and a postpartum kit. You’re welcome.

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

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

Any reason is a great reason to invest in a portable sauna where you can hide and sweat while listening to your favorite spicy read!

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 cute tote bags to go out with.

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

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, like Factor meals, would be a breath of fresh air so they can actually make and enjoy some meals for themselves! I love Sun Basket, Home Chef and Hello Fresh. Factor meals have the best high-protein options that you can microwave in seconds.
• Comfy clothes – Moms with toddlers thrive on being comfortable (myself included), so why not treat her to a nice lululemon sweatshirt. Kindred Bravely has so many silky smooth and buttery soft options, even if you aren’t breastfeeding anymore.
• Portable Sauna – This is great if you have an in-home gym, or if not, you can pop it up in your bathroom to use before you shower at night. It feels SO good to sweat out our toxins. AND, the best part is you can take it down and pop it up somewhere else if you want!
• 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.
• Clean protein powder– A third-party tested, clean protein powder that tastes great and mixes well into liquid. I add it to my oatmeal, yogurt smoothies and more.
• Electrolytes – A favorite stocking stuffer! Grab some NUUN tabs or UCAN electrolytes to keep mom hydrated. If she’s nursing, these mom electrolytes are even better.
• Essential oils – Essential oils are a lovely way to wind down and practice self-care while reading on her mini kindle! I’m so obsessed with my mini kindle – it’s so easy to store in my crossover bag and pull out at appointments.
• In shower moisturizer – You add this IN the shower and it smells SO GOOD and moisturizes your skin. Obsessed!
• Car sunglasses holder – so practical and stylish.
• Easy toddler snack list – If you’re burned out from all the meal prep and googling recipes, grab this kids snack ebook!
• 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! I love the Kindred Bravely jammies too!
• Yeti ceramic mug – They have an 8z or 16 oz size and they are stackable!
• 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 bodies 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 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.
• Protein Bites – I’m obsessed with these Daily Harvest bites, and they are the perfect stocking stuffer! I love them for a quick protein option on the go after a workout. These protein smoothies are also incredibly easy.

Clothing For The Stylish Mom

If you like to be comfortable (and stylish), here are some of my favorite apparel picks!

• Workout clothes – As a fitness fanatic myself, I’m obsesed with these Cute colorful workout tops from Free People.
• $20 Sweater – I’m loving this sweater and only $20?! Versatile through these winter months and easy to move in/chase a toddler.
• Mom shorts – Clearance for only $9! Anyone else ready for spring and summer?
• Warm socks – These lululemon socks are SO SOFT and comfortable.
• Overalls – I’m just obsessed with these overalls – cute and functional and lots of mom pockets!
• Cute sweatshirt – This is great for lounging and stylish too!
• 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!
• A nice bra or nice pajamas set– While on the topic of pajamas, 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! Or, just a high class comfy pajamas set! I also love this set from Free People for summer pajamas.
• House slippers – Love these and such a reasonable price point (JUST $13!).
• Sneakers – All moms could use a nice pair of sneakers, and these cute options are under $30, and SO many colors!
• Wide leg jeans – These are so cute and go with anything.
• The best zip up – This one is great for year-round!

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.

Here are some quick favorites:

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!!
• 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.
• Foldable workout yoga mat– For when you’re sneaking workouts in those small spaces!
• Bath towels – I try to get new ones every few years, and these are my purchase this year!
• 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.
• Sauna – I’m putting a portable sauna as a splurge gift too. But once you buy it, you can get so much use out of it! I use mine 3x/week.
• 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 or photo calendar – I love a good doodle family portrait or photo calendar!
• 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. Pair it with a microwaveable high-protein Factor meal for instant satisfaction.

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