Emilee of Emileevales.com is a mom of 3 girls and a work-from-home mom. She said:
“The best gift I would love to receive as a stay at home (and work from home!) mom would be a gift card for a spa day. I don’t just want the gift card though, I would love to have all of the arrangements made in advance for me. Meaning my husband has already reserved the date on the calendar for me, and made childcare arrangements for me.
It would also be amazing to just make a day of it, and have him arrange for my sister to come with me so we could have a girls day.”

Tamara loves this gift
Tamara is a stay at home mom, blogger at the thrifty apartment, realtor, and DIY mom. She said:
“As a stay at home, I want gifts that are meant specifically for me and not the entire household. Which selfishly means no cooking and cleaning gifts (unless it’s an actual house cleaner). Because I spend my days tending to the kids, cooking, cleaning, and just being a mom, it’s nice to receive a gift that I can personally benefit from.
A year ago, my husband gifted me this shiatsu neck and back massager. I use this massager at least once a week when I am able to get some alone time. It helps to relieve a significant amount of tension and/or back pain I might feel after a long day. It is one of the best, most thoughtful, and practical gifts I’ve ever received.”

Aghogho Boccardi desires a Roomba

FAQ
What is the best gift for a stressed mom?
The best gift for a stay at home mom is what will help her relax, and possibly reduce the workload for her. Better still, you can help her with some chores while she rests.
Conclusion
Tommy, the CEO of Floofmania shared the best insight on the best thing you can give a stay at home mom. He said:
“The best thing you can give your mom is your time. Your mother doesn’t need an expensive car or a trip around the world. All she needs is to talk to her son or daughter. Well here’s what you need to do, start your day by telling her good morning first thing after you’re up. Ask her about what’s her plan for the day, tell her your plans for the day over breakfast. Offer her any help if you can when you’re back from work, ask her about her day, talk to her about your day”
We couldn’t agree less. Time and attention are the most important needs of a woman. Gifts speak volume, but they will communicate more when you spend time with her.
Pick any of the gifts listed above to shower love on your stay at home mom. You don’t know how much she needs it.
