HAPPY DECEMBER! WOW,  that came fast! I bet most moms have their Christmas shopping close to finished by now, am I right? You know who probably has not done any of their shopping at all yet? Better yet who hasn’t even really thought of what to get that special someone.. Husbands! I can almost guarantee your husband/ significant other has done very little IF ANY Christmas shopping at this point and that is exactly why I am here to help! 😉 If I know about anything, I know about being a mother. A very tired mother! Moms need pampering, they need some forced time to themselves and some trendy new items to make them feel “hip”. Do people still use hip? LMAO,  no wait LMFAO,  that’s what the kids are saying these days! Anyways, they need some love and attention! Yes,  gentleman, you can get gift cards or spa days and those are always nice but lets really woo her this year shall we? Oh and don’t get me started about how much wooing should be happening because that’s another long post 😉 These are things every mom really needs and wants but probably wont buy for herself because well lets face it we’re all too busy taking care of our children! New name brand sweatshirts, trendy pants, new shoes and the list goes on and on.. meanwhile we’re sitting here wearing the same yoga pants with the same tiny hole in the crotch! I mean am I  right or am I right? Moms do SO MUCH for their families! It’s really a no brainer to make her happy with some special surprises that she desperately needs!  GET IT ALL! God knows they deserve it! I did 10 because well lets face it guys need clear , straight to the point , simple instructions! To my husband, Dennis, who tells me he reads my blogs first thing in the morning while taking a poop, ugh men!  THIS IS MY ACTUAL CHRISTMAS LIST!!!  Happy shopping, Honey! ❤ OH yes and in true mom form, I also made a must have gift guide for kids! Specifically good for ages 1-6! I spend a lot of time researching toys, creative play and learning tools so you’ll definitely want to check that one out! (coming shortly after this post)

1. 1. 1. Large Insulated Clear Coffee Mug with Handle There’s really no surprise that the first thing on the list has to do with coffee is there? Mom life and coffee, coffee and mom life? They just go hand in hand! These super cute clear mugs are the best! They are double insulated to keep your coffee warmer for longer,  which is a necessity for a mom! Celebs have been using these and I’ve been seeing them on my TV shows,  that I record of course, and watch 4 days later because well I’m a mother and cant watch shows when I want to watch them! They are very trendy and plus they’re just cool looking! So when your sipping your coffee with your hair in a messy bun on top of your head and spit up or half chewed food on your shoulder you can think you’re still somewhat cool!
      2.  Fujifilm Instax Mini 9 Instant Polaroid Camera Pictures!! Moms LOVE pictures! Any scrap bookers? I am! Polaroids are back and they are so fun! This is a mini and not only does it come in multiple colors it is perfect for pictures in an instant! It also has a selfie mirror! What? This is not only perfect for pictures of your little ones but also for pregnancy pics and great to bring in your hospital bag for delivery / after delivery photos!
      3. YETI Rambler Insulated Tumbler with Lid This is perfect for moms on the go! Which by the way when are we not on the go? Um never? Always running! This keeps hot drinks hot and cold drinks cold! It is perfect to throw your morning coffee in and jump in the car! Comes in so many colors but I love the Seafoam color linked!
      4. YETI Rambler 10 oz Stainless Steel Vacuum Insulated Wine Tumbler, 2 Pack, White WINE! Moms love wine! Hmm Want or Need.. isn’t that a heated question! How cute are these? They come in so many colors and they are super durable! They also keep your wine chilled until the very last sip! I would highly recommend giving a bottle of wine to go with the tumbler because,  well , its just customary!
      5. Shiseido WrinkleResist24 Smoothing Under Eye Masks Age defying? Wrinkle removing? YES PLEASE! I heard Kim Kardashian uses these and its one of her favorites for erasing dark circles! I need all of that and then some! These are definitely the hip new thing and there are a lot on the market but these ones are a great medium between cheap and super pricey! They also have travel packs for under $5 if you just want to try a set out first! Can you say stocking stuffers?!?!
      6. Epsoak Epsom Salt Lavender Sleep Formula Decompress! Every mom needs a little time to herself to relax and recharge! For me, that time is usually at the end of the night when the kids are in bed! This helps to relieves aches and pains, boosts sleep and is made with 100% pure lavender essential oil! I mean if you’re going to decompress with the very little time that moms have to themselves then you should definitely be making the most out of it right? This will help you do just that! Not only is this good for a warm bubble bath it could also be used in the shower as an exfoliate and can be used to soften rough skin on your feet with a foot soak! At under $10 you just cant go wrong! Side note: This too could also come with a bottle of wine.. I mean just saying!
      7. Faux Fur Indoor/Outdoor Slippers Comfort! Moms need something comfortable to walk around the house in. Whether your a working mom,  a stay at home mom or a little bit of both these are perfect to slip on and give your feet a rest! They are super fluffy and have the criss cross straps and open toe,  which I love! The soles are meant for indoor AND outdoor. So they are more durable and you can walk outside. Any one pick up their kids from school in their slippers? I have! I had a very hard time deciding between the pink and black color.. I think I choose black but at 19.99 why not get one of each!
      8. Home Chef Meal Delivery Service Someone else planning what’s for dinner? Making it simple and easy to cook up a delicious recipe? What kind of dream world are we living in here? Could it get any better for a mother? I think not!! This meal delivery service is the absolute best! You can personalize these meals ahead of time to include what you want and don’t want! For example: low calorie, no mushrooms for the picky eaters , avoid nuts etc. They have a special of 60% off your first order and free shipping while I’m typing this so go sign up stat! You can chose how many days a week you want to do it , which let me tell you helping out any mom even 2 or 3 days a week with dinner is a HUGE help! I did it for the 3 day meal plan for a family of 5 to see what it would come out to and with the deal it was under $80! How can you beat that?! Oh and that bottle of wine would also go great with this gift because I mean its dinner time and momma is thirsty!
      9.  Personalized Initial Disc Necklace Personalized jewelry is so special and thoughtful. Moms LOVE thoughtful gifts! It means a lot giving that extra touch! I have a few initial necklaces but none that could have all my kids initials stacked together like this! I also love that they can have their birthdate under their initial! I’ve bought from this company before and have loved their quality without being overly pricey! You’ll definitely gets points for this one gentleman! Better yet let it be a gift from the kids.. You’re welcome 😉
      10.   Crossbody Multi Pocket detatchable wristlet bag Convenience! Moms NEED convenience! This cross body purse is ideal for that! I hate lugging around more than I need to! Having two kids in diapers it is almost impossible to not bring the whole house with in the diaper bag! Seriously though how much extra random S**t gets thrown in the diaper bag?! I wanted something smaller, that I can wear when I’m out with my kids running errands or riding the choo choo at the mall. I like it being attached to me and hands free so I can tame my kids when needed not if , WHEN! This is the perfect size! It’s not too big and not too small! It holds your cell phone, money, credit cards and anything else you need to throw in for a quick trip without a meltdown like a bag of goldfish crackers! It also comes in many colors.
