Are you still looking for gifts for people on your list? Me too! Confession, I have bought one present (mittens for my daughter — shhh don’t tell her!), but that’s it! I really need to get my act together. As I thought about the people on my list, of course, many of them happen to be moms with little kids and I thought about how we all need a little push in the right direction sometimes to take time for ourselves. Why not put together a a few gift ideas for the exhausted mom in your life?

I know plenty of moms that would LOVE these items! You can either give these gifts for her individually or bundle up a few of the items to make a fun gift basket. At the bottom of this post I show you three different ways to bundle some of the gifts to make a gift to encourage her to relax, rejuvenate, or restore.
