No one deserves a better Christmas gift than the busy mum in your life. Luckily you can find my top gift recommendations that will bring a smile to their face below.
Robot vacuum
This year if you want to give the gift of having less to do, a robot vacuum could be perfect. These nifty little disks roam around the home automatically picking up crumbs, without Mum even having to touch the hoover. They also come complete with sensors so they won’t fall down the stairs, and can reposition themselves when they get into a jam. Just remember to think carefully about whether this type of gift would be welcome or seen as an insult before you buy!
Coffee subscription
Few things are as valuable to a busy mum as a good cup of coffee. Not only does their daily cup of java fill them with energy, but it also provides a moment of pause and pleasure for them to enjoy. If you would like to be associated with such a sacred time, on a busy Mother’s day then why not treat them to something like this flexible coffee subscription for Christmas? Such a subscription will deliver different coffees for them to enjoy every four weeks. They even come in letterbox-friendly packaging so you won’t be adding to their burden by inadvertently asking them to go to the post office if they miss a delivery.
Slow cooker
Dinner made easy sounds like the ideal gift for busy mums to me. The great thing about slow cookers is that you can dump in all the ingredients in the morning and then be greeted with a delicious hearty meal at dinner time without having to prep and cook. Slow cookers work particularly well for stews and casseroles but you really can do all sorts in them these days from pulled pork to cakes. Add a slow cooker cooking booking for an extra treat!
Air Fryer
Another way you can make the daily dinner slog easier for busy mums is to get them an airfryer. These babies cook just about anything, crisping things like chips up with barely any oil at all. They also make the entire process of fixing dinner easier as they are countertops, which means less bending down to put things in and out of the oven, the kitchen gets less hot, and they use less electricity too.
Portable Charger
Bust mums are always rushing out the door without checking whether their phone is fully charged. The problem with this is that when they inevitably run out of battery all sorts of chaos ensues from not being able to find the location they are heading to on Google Maps to not being able to reply to calls and texts from the kids or their schools.
That is why a portable mobile charger, or power bank as they are also often known can be a very thoughtful gift for a busy mom. Try and pick one that matches their current phone if you can for added bonus points.
