Work-at-Home Mom Gifts: 8 Great Ideas

Even if they’re not working their “paid job” at home, every mom needs some kind of home office to sort mail, pay bills, work on taxes, insurance, and health information, and to keep track of the family’s schedule and appointments. And, any mom will find working in a pretty and comfortable office space much more enjoyable.

8 terrific gift ideas for the work-at-home mom:

1. Housecleaning Service — Women who work at home know it’s extra difficult to juggle the demands of a job and what needs to be done around the house when your office is IN your home! That’s why a gift certificate for a housecleaning service is a terrific gift for a work-at-home mom. You can sometimes find good deals on Groupon.

2. Could mom use a new calendar or planner? There are some really pretty feminine planners here. I always like a planner that fits my personality since I’ll be using it every day.

3. Scented candles will lift mom’s spirits while she’s working. Whether she likes floral scents, citrus, vanilla, pumpkin, or pine, you’re likely to  find it here.

5. The same goes for desk accessories. Don’t settle for boring. Instead go for bold and fun. They’ll definitely brighten up mom’s work space and make a nice gift. 

6. If the mom you’re buying for is a coffee or tea drinker, pick up a custom or personalized mug. You’ll find monogrammed mugs, photo mugs, and more here.

7. A framed photo of the kids or of the whole family makes a thoughtful gift. Find all kinds of  photo frames here — for the wall or smaller frames for the desk.
