Molly Weber said:  Subscriptions are unique gift ideas for mom. I am OBSESSED with my FabFitFun box that was gifted to me by my sister-in-law. It is a subscription box service that is delivered seasonally. This boxes contain a variety of full size items (not just sample size) including things like beauty products, accessories, and fitness related products. I am beyond excited when I see my FabFitFun box on my doorstep when I get home! It is definitely the gift that keeps on giving.

Amy S. said:  As far as I’m concerned, an insulated, spill proof mug is essential for moms on morning duty. This mug is the best; the insulated design keeps your coffee hot for a long time and the “magslider” lid means you can close up the top and prevent spills by little ones. But the shape and size of the mug still feels comfortable and, for lack of a better word, homey (unlike some of the monstrous insulated travel mugs I’ve seen). I use mine every. Single. Morning. In fact, I never drink from any of our other mugs anymore. And to top it off (pun intended), it’s dishwasher safe.

Gina I. said:  The Rosie bracelet conceals mom's Fitbit so she can wear it anywhere! The stacked bracelet looks is great and very on trend right now! Funktional Wearables makes accessories for all brands of activity trackers, perfect for the mom who is health-conscious and stylish.

Molly Weber said:  Ok, so we all know that it's not very expensive to send photos out to be printed and picked up or shipped to your house. However, somehow I still find myself looking at picture frames around my house that haven't been updated in years. These printers would allow you to easily and immediately print photos right from your smartphone (check for compatibility) and update your picture frames in minutes!

Gina I. said:  Lush Bath Bombs are the perfect way to relax and unwind after a long day. Each bath bomb is loaded with essential oils, creating a blissful bathing experience.

Sarah C. said:  So comfy - great for working out or just relaxing. Great quality! Love these as gifts.

Erin P. said:  This is a great book with small (totally manegable!) reflections about managing life, love and daily stresses. Rachel Macy Stafford guides the reader toward realizing 'hey I'm not perfect, but I always have the choice to respond with love.' This seems like a great gift for the "new mom" who already has a tot or two (or more!) under her wing and is trying to figure out how to "do it all."

Gina I. said:  Woops macarons look as good as they taste! Choose from a wonderful assortment of flavors like Strawberry, Lemon Tart, Nutella, Pistachio, Cookies N’ Cream, Mint Chocolate, Vanilla, and more. Can’t decide? You don’t have to! They offer customizable boxes, so mom can sample a delicious variety, and they are available for shipping nationwide.
