Are you looking for the perfect gift for a busy mom of toddlers? Whether you are looking for gift ideas for Mother’s Day, Birthday, or Christmas – I have rounded up the best gifts for moms of toddlers. (Trust me, as a toddler mom, I know what we really want!) Whether you are looking for something practical or fun this list will hopefully help inspire you!

Types of Toddler Mom Gifts:

• Practical Gifts – Ok, these are the gifts that will help make a busy mom’s life just a little bit easier. Honestly, I personally love these just as much as other gifts. Anything that can make my daily life as a busy mom run a bit smoother is a win in my book.
  
• Fun Gifts – Mom’s are caregivers and tend to put the needs of their kids above their own. Giving them a fun gift is a way to remind them to pursue their own hobbies and make time to have fun themselves which is very important and often overlooked.
  
• Relaxation Gifts – These are gifts that will help her relax and stress less – which many toddler moms need!
  
• Time Gifts – Honestly, I don’t think there’s anything a mom of littles wants more than more time. Even just watching her kids for a couple hours while she runs errands solo, works on a project, or takes some R&R time is probably what she wants most!

Best Gifts for Moms with Toddlers:

Ok, I’ve put a ton of thought into this list, but obviously, combine it with the personality and interests of the toddler mom you know. Hopefully, it will provide you with some inspiration if nothing else!

Practical Gifts for Moms of Toddlers:

Many moms love practical gifts. Think things that will make their life with kids easier. Here are my favorite practical gift ideas for toddler moms:

1. Stick vacuum – I bought one of these last year for myself for Mother’s Day and honestly I think it’s my best purchase ever. I absolutely love that it’s a stick vac, hand vac, and wand vac in one. I keep it in my kitchen and use it daily. I also have a robo vac which may be a great gift for the mom in your life, but I hands down prefer my stick vacuum!
   
2. Water Bottle or Glass Tumbler – We all know how important it is to stay hydrated, but moms often forget to take care of themselves. I love this Ello Glass Tumbler for home and a Hydroflask with this lid to take on the go.
   
3. Audible Membership – I’m not sure if this is more fun or practical, but either way I think many moms would love to pick out a variety of books to listen to each month since they likely don’t have as much time to sit down and read.
   
4. Backpack Purse – This backpack purse is a super practical and adorable way to carry around all of your child’s goods. This beautiful backpack purse would be a great way to spoil your favorite toddler mom. (If she has a baby or 2 toddlers – here are my favorite diaper bags for 2 kids.)
   
5. Amazon Prime or Walmart+ Membership – What mom doesn’t need to order things day and night? Ha! An Amazon Prime or Walmart+ membership (Hello free grocery delivery) could be super useful.
   
6. Durable Shoes – A pair of cute and durable shoes she can throw on to play with the kids outside is not only useful, but fun.

Fun or Personal Gift Ideas for Toddler Moms

Ok, perhaps your toddler mom is more into fun or personalized gifts. Here are some gifts that will help her recapture some fun while knowing you were really thinking about her.

7. Mother’s Jewelry – Whether it’s a fun personalized bracelet stack, mother’s ring or necklace something personal can be a fun surprise for a toddler mom. However, one thing to keep in mind is if she is planning to have more kids you may want to choose something you can add to such as a bracelet stack.
   
8. Family Photos – Give her a photo session with a local gift card or gift card for photos with her kids or even just of her kids.
   
9. Color Consult – Last year I had a color consult done with Created Colorful and it was so much fun! It helped me minimize my wardrobe and add a few new things (clothes, make-up, and even nail polish in my best colors.) As a young mom who hadn’t thought as much about what I was wearing, it inspired me to enjoy my closet more and gave me some self-confidence after having baby #2.
   
10. Nespresso Machine – As toddler parents this could easily be my husband’s and my favorite appliance. We use it daily along with our milk frother and heater. If your toddler mom loves specialty coffee, give her the gift of the ability to make her own at home.
    
11. Apple Watch – My husband gave me an apple watch after becoming a new mom and though I do not wear it all the time, I love it for running, taking the kids to the pool and other random trips out when my phone will be tucked away.
    
12. Paint By Number Kit – It can be hard to remember to pursue hobbies and relaxation in the evenings so a paint by number kit is a perfect way for her to have some fun.
    
13. A Day Out – A day at the spa, hiking day, pottery painting, shopping, lunch with friends, or any other fun activity where she can relax and feel pampered would be greatly appreciated.

Relaxation Gift Ideas for a Busy Mom of Toddlers

Taking care of young children can make you feel stressed and like you don’t have a minute to relax. Giving a gift that can help a mom of toddlers find some peace and calm will always be appreciated.

14. Massage Gift Certificate – Do I really need to say more? I don’t think so.
    
15. Epsom Salts – This is a great inexpensive gift idea for toddler moms. You could put it in a self-care basket or even gift it on its own. I personally never appreciated a good epsom salt soak until after I had my first baby.
    
16. Essential Oils & Diffuser – This is another great gift for a busy mom. It can help her relax and feel calmer throughout her day.
    
17. Yoga Membership or Class – Yoga can be a great way to destress and have some fun out of the house. Giving the gift of a yoga class or membership (possibly babysitting to go along with it) is a great idea.

Ideas for Gifts of Time for Toddler Moms

Between taking care of my kids, keeping house, cooking dinner, and running my small business, any gift that gives me time feels super useful.

18. House Cleaning Service – Whether you get her a 1 time service for deep cleaning or a monthly service, I’m sure this would be appreciated. You could also schedule the time and offer to do it yourself if funds are tight but you have more time!
    
19. Cooked Meal or Freezer Meal – Just having one less dinner to worry with cooking will make any busy mom of toddlers day!
    
20. Babysitting – This is what we all really want. Someone to watch our kids for a few hours so we can get something done! Whether it’s a couple hours on a Saturday so she can run errands or block off an entire day for a girls day, what toddler mom wouldn’t enjoy some time to herself.
    
21. Grocery Shopping – Another great way to help out a busy mom of toddlers is by doing her grocery shopping for her. Even just telling her to place her order and you will pick it up would be a huge help.
    
22. Car Detailing – My car used to stay pretty clean…then I became a toddler mom. Preschool pickup, eating in car on the run…it takes a toll! Either clean the car yourself or give a gift card for car detailing!
