As a mom, I am not only super proud of my choice to breastfeed, but I am also SUPER proud of my kids. My love for them is so crazy strong it is hard not to share it with everyone else. It is nice to be reminded in special ways of the role I now play that changed my life. Are you a mommy who loves gifts that remind you of your special role? Maybe you are looking for a gift for a mommy friend. Read on to see some of my favorite holiday gifts for mom!
Old Navy Nursing Cardigan
I am in love with this cardigan. Unfortunately I recently noticed that Old Navy is not currently carrying it. It is so comfy, fashionable and functional! I can wear it for just about any occasion, but also use it for more modest feeding experiences. I LOVE that there are buttons that give it a different look and functionality. If you prefer to cover up when you nurse, you can simply button the two ends of the open front up along the neckline. It will give your cardigan a more “wrapped” look. It is also a great option for snuggling up your baby.
Since Old Navy is not currently carrying this item, I found similar styles on Amazon. Check out these options as alternatives to the Old Navy Nursing Cardigan. Maybe one will fit the bill for one of your holiday gifts for mom:
- Women’s Draped Open Front cardigan this piece has a similar look but does not have the button feature.
- Byrd & Blume Nursing Cover this piece still has the button functionality but the overall style is slightly different.
- Bebe au Lait Premium Muslin Nursing Scarf obviously not a cardigan, but a great alternative and very pretty.
- Kindred Bravely Clara Criss Cross Infinity Cardigan this cardigan is very flattering and has a unique and beautiful criss cross in the front. Perfect for comfortable wear and nursing on the go.
A Classic Holiday Gift For Mom: Jewelry
What could be better and more classic than a holiday gift for mom that she can wear every day. A beautiful piece of jewelry. One of my favorites is a simple sterling silver necklace that says “mama”. It can be worn at different lengths, but I prefer to wear it at the collarbone. It can be dressy or casual, and is a sweet way of showing off your most important role. Check out the mama necklace here.
Here is another style of necklace that is less forward but still very flattering, that my husband gifted to me. It reminds me of the Virgin Mary holding baby Jesus.
The Cozy MAMA Sweatshirt
I think most of us have seen the cute tops found on Etsy or Amazon that either have the phrase “DADA” or “MAMA” in a square. The look has been in for the past couple of years and is super fun. I love my apricot sweater I found on Amazon. This is another option for mom that you cannot go wrong with. You can find it in several color choices here.
Gift Mom with a Keychain
I found this adorable keychain on Amazon (similar can be found on Etsy). It is simple with a pop of color and large silicone beads that help me find it easily in a chaotic diaper bag. You can also put it around your wrist if you need to have your keys at the ready. The tassel adds some extra flare that mom will love. Trust me, this is a great holiday gift for mom, especially if she has multiple littles running around.
Last But NOT Least: The Ball Cap
I am not always one to wear hats, but since becoming a mom, there are days I would rather not show off my hair. Little kids don’t give you time to get ready in the morning unless you are up well before them. For the mom who throws her hair up or rolls out of bed, this one is for you!
Here is the hat pictured above. Or maybe you want a hat that doesn’t specify gender, or maybe you have all girls!
Whether you are a mom looking for ideas to give family and friends for your Christmas gift, or you are looking for holiday gifts for mom from the kids, I hope you have found some inspiration! All of these gifts can be found on Amazon if you are doing last minute shopping. We still have a couple weeks til Christmas, and Etsy has several similar ideas to the ones I have shared as well.
Merry Christmas and happy shopping for holiday gifts for mom!
Great gift ideas and the model is so cute!
Thank you!
