When the holidays come around it always seems like mom gets left out. While mom’s busy making Christmas magical for everyone else, why not do something nice for her? If you need some inspiration, try these stocking stuffer ideas for moms so she has some extra gifts to unwrap Christmas morning.
Moms rarely make a fuss around the holidays, but that doesn’t mean they don’t like having gifts under the Christmas tree. Especially if she’s the only one who doesn’t have a stocking full of goodies!
See how many days until Christmas here.
Ideas for Stocking Stuffers Moms will Love
Here’s some great stocking stuffer ideas for moms that you can use to inspire your shopping.
Cloud Slippers
These cloud slides were all the rage over the summer, I have a pair for inside and for outside. They would make great shower shoes for the gym too. They are so thick and cushy, definitely appropriately named, I’m certain these feel very close to walking on clouds!
Gua Sha Massager Stone
I am not super big into skincare, I don’t have a day or night time routine but this magical little rock, rubbing it over your face and neck is so darn relaxing! It helps with fluid drainage and I really think my double chin is slightly less pronounced since using the Gua Sha stone. Youtube is a great resource for videos of how to use it.
Silicone Face Cleanser
I keep this little gadget in the shower, the tiny bristles and the gentle vibration are amazing for exfoliating and really getting rid of any dead skin. Great for exposing a natural glow!
Facial Brush
This is a little more heavy duty, more like weekly use. Comes with a few different heads and in its own little case. It’s rechargeable and waterproof as well.
Ice Roller
This ice roller is great for depuffing a fluffy face from a late night, or disrupted sleep. Lots of the reviews mention using it for tension headaches and sinus pain too!
Silk Pillowcase
Silk pillowcase is great for your hair and your skin, the silk is slippery, so it doesn’t tug on your hair or your skin like cotton does. Cotton is also absorbent so it can lead to dry skin as well. I’ve been sleeping on one for years. I have them for my daughters as well, way better than brushing out excessive tangles every morning.
Skinny Silk Scrunchies
Similar to the pillowcase, these scrunchies are great for keeping healthy and strong, whereas rubber ones can get stuck and cause breakage. They are also less likely to leave a bump!
Dry Shampoo
When mom’s are too busy washing everyone else’s hair to wash their own. This is the original holy grail of dry shampoo, great for absorbing grease and prolonging the days between a regular wash.
Glass Nail File
This glass file is so pretty, it comes with a little case. Glass files are extra gentle and lead to very smooth nails. And you can clean them and reuse them over and over again rather than having to replace them.
Gel Nail Kit
Love this at home gel nail kit. Realistically, no mom has the amount of time required to sit still and let traditional nail polish dry, this cures so quickly, almost instantly, with the UV light! Resists chipping way better as well. This stuff lasts FOREVER on my toes, and I have huge feet and am still able to fit them under the light. lol
Facemask
These face masks have a cult-like following, the honey one has amazing reviews! If you know the lady in your life’s snake type you can order what suits her best, but the honey one is very nice.
Bath Bombs
This set of bathbombs comes with 12 variations – set your mom up for an inhouse spa like bath, one for every month of the year. They smell great and are moisturizing as well.
Firestick (lite)
I got myself one of these for our bedroom during prime days, and I cannot begin to explain the happiness I feel being able to watch my show from my bed. Haha. It’s the little things, I tell ya.
Slippers
Slippers for the winter, or for the mom who is always cold and can’t handle the cloud slides. I was halfway to a wedding once before I realised I hadn’t changed out of a similar pair to these – promise they will get lots of wear.
Robe
A good terry cloth robe is hard to come by, everything seems to be made of fleece these days. Which is cozy for cuddling into but useless when it comes to absorbing water post shower. A quality one is more of a splurge item which we know moms aren’t great about doing for themselves, so hook your mom up!
Pajama Set
I feel like proper pajamas are a right of passage into real adulthood, no more concert tees and boxers. These are Bamboo Viscose to regulate the body temperature at night, the piping is super cute too.
Electric Toothbrush
Oral health is also something I feel like moms suddenly become more aware of as they get older. Maybe it’s because they have more than just the set in their mouth to worry about, but a good electric toothbrush is far superior to manual one in fact, this one removes up to 5x more plaque vs. a manual toothbrush.
Mascara
Mascara is the only type of makeup I wear consistently since becoming a mom, its quick and easy and I think it makes the biggest impact with regards to faking awake. Ha. This particular mascara went viral during the pandemic and I can vouch that it lives up to the hype! Especially for its price point.
Chocolate
Nothing says holidays like Ferrero Rocher. Chocolate never disappoints.
Milk Frother
Having a frother at home is a game changer, really takes a cup of home brew to the next level. Most moms take coffee pretty seriously, one of these and a flavoured syrup and she’s practically a barista!
Spa Socks
These vitamin e infused socks come in a ton of different patterns, and they are so good for the feet. My heels aren’t as bad as some moms but it comes with the territory of chasing after little ones all day and sometimes night.
Black Charcoal Soap
Last but not least, this magical charcoal soap. I bought this soap on account of reading a bunch of reviews and man, it’s just the greatest. It’s good for acne prone skin, those little white bumps you can sometimes have on the backs of your arms, prevents ingrown hairs, it’s good for blackheads, even recommended for teen skin. I bought a bar, cut it into pieces. I keep two thirds in the shower and the other third near the sink just for washing my face at night, and I swear people have complimented my skin more since using it than ever before.
Travel Mug
Whether it’s for her daily commute or just to keep the coffee warm while tending to the kids at home, moms always find uses for travel mugs. Psst, they’re also great for keeping mixed drinks cold in the summertime too.
Make Up Sponges
If mom likes to wear make up than updates to her existing stash is always welcome. If you’re not sure what to buy, make up sponges like these are always appreciated.
The Golden Girls Mad Libs
I think that fun gifts are some of the best stocking stuffer ideas for moms. Little activates that mom can do, like this Golden Girls Mad Libs, are a great way to make her Christmas morning even more merry and bright.
Waterproof Fitness Watch
Fitness watches come in all kinds of shapes, sizes, and price ranges. From the Apple Watch to the Fitbit, there’s a few popular brands that seem to dominate the landscape. I chose this one because it’s both stylish and loaded with features she’ll actually use.
Essential Oil Set
If she already has a diffuser than this is a no brainer stocking stuffer idea for moms. Just make sure you get whatever brand she already uses! Even for those who don’t diffuse, essential oils can be added to homemade cleaners and other homemade products too.
Ring Light
These are super handy to have around the house, especially with so many more people needing to be well lit for online videos. Moms can use it for video calls, making Tiktok and Youtube videos, or photography.
Comfy or Novelty Socks
My mom asks for socks every single year for Christmas. I swear it’s the only time she ever gets new ones! Whether your mom’s like mine and you want to get her some good quality, everyday socks or you found the perfect novelty pair that mom will love, socks are almost always a hit in stockings.
Good Quality Chocolates
Snacks are a must when it comes to stocking stuffer ideas! Instead of buying cheap treats, though, add in mom’s favourite snacks or some good quality confectionary that you know she’ll love.
Daily Calendar
Depending on the size of your stocking daily calendars are usually small enough to fit into stockings. With a gift like this, mom will be thinking of you every day all year long.
Hand Cream
Winter is usually a time of dry weather, which also means dry hands. Especially if mom has to wash them frequently, uses hand sanitizer regularly, or suffers from eczema. Some nice hand cream can go a long way, and it make a great stocking stuffer too.
Warm Winter Gloves
You’ve gotta have your mittens for winter! They make amazing stocking stuffers because it’s nice to have an extra pair, and they’re practical too. Opt for something soft, good quality, and stylish.
Clever Fox Password Book
I’m not kidding when I say that I might get this for my own mom for Christmas. It’s a tabbed notebook that organizes passwords. If you don’t want to put the actual pass, you can add a hint instead.
Mini Succulents
These are all the rage right now and the perfect size to make great stocking stuffers. They’re usually solid (the bedding doesn’t come out) so you don’t need to worry about making a mess.
Mom Truths Party Game
This is a party card game in a similar style to Cards Against Humanity. The cards are raw and uncensored so mom can plan a hilarious get together with her friends.
Back Scratcher
Mom is always scratching everyone’s back (figuratively) so why not scratch hers (literally)? Back scratchers are a nice to have, practical stocking stuffer idea.
Wireless Headphones
Very useful for a morning run, workplace audiobook, or drowning out whining toddlers.
Colourful Pens
If your house is like mine then it’s probably true that you can never find a pen when you need one. Get mom a set of her own – preferably great quality and fun colours.
Jewelry
Jewelry is one of those classic stocking stuffer ideas for moms – but you can definitely give it a more modern twist. Instead of getting thoughtless jewelry make sure it’s something she’ll actually wear and love.
Clip on Book Light
Don’t let darkness stop her from reading her book! A clip on book light is super hand if mom likes to read traditional books or on an eReader that doesn’t have a backlight.
Scarf
Since Christmas falls at the start of winter what better time than to give mom a scarf? You can get so many types so choose one you think she’ll like. The most common are fashion scarves, fleece, and wool.
Hair Accessories
Having new stuff for your hair is nice, but it’s not always a priority for moms to get themselves accessories. Help her out by getting something you think she’ll like or a collection of trendy styles like this pack.
Tarot Set
Although this might seem a bit niche I’m continually amazed at how many women are interested in Tarot cards. If this seems like something the mom you’re shopping for might like, a beginner set like this one comes with instructions to get started.
A couple of these items, an orange, and a lottery ticket (hopefully a winner) and your stocking shopping is done! Happy Holidays!
