So God Made a Mother is Here! 🎉

A month-long vacation.

Eight hours of sleep every night.

A cease-fire from squabbling kids.

A whining hiatus.

There’s a lot on our Christmas lists this year. But since it’s unlikely we’ll get our first choice (or second or third), here are 20 alternatives we’d be thrilled to receive!

Fanny packs are back! This one from JanSport is high-quality at an amazing price and perfect for taking on the go. Wear it around your waist or across your chest—it’s super versatile and can hold all the essentials.

Not sure about you all but spa dates are few and far between over here, so this heat therapy massager sounds absolutely divine. You can use it on your shoulders, back, neck, arms, calves, feet, etc., and take it anywhere with the included wall and car adapter.

Coffee that never gets cold is every mom’s dream—and now it can be your reality! We love the sleek new rose gold, copper, and stainless steel finishes. Snag one of these life-changing mugs for $35 off the original price and never stick your coffee back in the microwave (where you’re guaranteed to forget it) again.

There’s definitely a theme here—relaxation and rest! This weighted blanket is made from breathable natural bamboo so you get the calming pressure of weight without the uncomfortable heat.

So this is something we’d love to have but probably wouldn’t buy for ourselves, which makes it a great gift! This incredibly comprehensive at-home DNA test kit gives you access to 80+ personalized reports. It can estimate your ancestry to the 0.1% across 2000+ geographic regions and tell you where your most recent ancestors from each population lived. Opt-in to find DNA relatives and automatically build your family tree.

If you’re anything like us, most days our hair goes straight up into a mom bun in the morning and doesn’t come out until it’s time for bed. Mostly because it’s such a pain to not only wash our hair, but also dry, then style it. Who has time for that? Enter this amazing Revlon one-step tool that allows you to dry, style, and volumize your hair all at the same time. Not to mention, you get 30% less frizz. Take our money.

We know, a vacuum might not sound like the greast gift. But a Roomba is way more than a vacuum—it’s like an obedient helper who never talks back! This is truly outsourcing at its finest, so you can kick back, relax, and do something other than clean!

Definitely on the pricier side, but these are some of the most highly-rated tumblers out there, and they hold up beautifully. Hydration is definitely in vogue, and this is a perfect gift for any mom who is constantly on the go. It holds a drink’s temperature for hours on end and is dishwasher-safe, so it makes cleanup a breeze.

Keep all those books from piling up on your bedside table with an Audible membership. You can listen to virtually any book right from your phone or tablet and use it to discover new titles as well as revisit timeless favorites, like anything by Taylor Jenkins Reid (have you read The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo yet?).
