Single moms make the world go 'round. The trouble is, they probably won't tell you what they want for the holidays. They'll just brush you off, or say all they want is a nice card.
OK, fine. I may have said this to a handful of people this year. And while I do love a good sentimental note, as a single mom myself, there are a few things I wouldn't mind finding under the tree … WHICH I happened to put up, decorate, and keep hydrated — all by myself.
In order to help you avoid the guesswork, we're rounding up some of the best gifts for single moms who do it all, so they really deserve to receive it all this holiday season.
Here are seven great gifts single moms would love to get this year.
1. An Amazing Digital Calendar
I'm not the most tech-savvy person around. Really, I'm not the most tech-savvy person anywhere. That's why tech tools that are easy to use and help me organize my life are totally my jam. Enter the Skylight Calendar.
This digital device can help you track your entire family's schedule all in one place. It has other cool features like to-do lists, meal tracking, and more. But the best part is that it doubles as a digital picture frame, so not only is it massively helpful, it's also aesthetically pleasing!
2. A Smart Mug That Keeps Coffee Hot
I don't know about you, but I end up microwaving my coffee about five times per morning. It happens for a variety of reasons, including that I just don't drink it fast enough or that I get too busy doing a million other tasks. Either way, I'd give away all of my useless old mugs for one incredible smart mug that keeps my coffee warm until it's gone. That's what makes the Ember Smart Mug from Target the perfect gift.
3. A Pair of Stylish 'Mom' Jeans
Not all mom jeans are alike! The master jean makers at Madewell know about comfort and style. The Plus Curvy Perfect Vintage Jean in Denman Wash has both, and they're on sale right now with the code: HOLLYJOLLY.
4. A Totally Cute Pair of Sneakers
Moms need shoes that can get them from day to night. And while these shoes definitely aren't dress shoes, they look so cute you'll want to rock them out on the town. A pair of sneakers you can do anything in, from walking the dog to going out with friends, is like a gift from the heavens. So buy these cute shoes for a single mom who would love to slip them on and never take them off.
5. An At-Home Massage From Zeel
Zeel is a super-amazing company that offers in-home massages at affordable prices. They absolutely make the perfect gift for a single mom for so many reasons. They can be booked on her schedule. She doesn't have to go anywhere. And the tip is all taken care of. All she has to do it lie back and relax.
6. An At-Home Face Steamer
Single mamas don't always have the time (or money) to run out to the spa. But this at-home face steamer will make her look and feel like she just got back from one. This skin care system is great for all skin types and will help give her that rejuvenated look all year long.
7. A Really Gorgeous Cookware Set
If anyone knows cookware, it's Rachael Ray. She has some of the best cookware around. But buying a whole new set isn't something single moms are typically going to do for themselves. Nah. We'll keep using our old pots and pans until they've turned black and fall apart. That's what make this eight-piece set the absolute perfect gift this year, and right now, it's on sale at Wayfair.
