We spent hours researching products from well-respected brands that appeal to a range of needs. Our favorites include the Royal Craft Wood Bathtub Caddy for a little luxury at home and a cute Digital Planner to help mom stay organized. Here are the best gifts for the busy mom. Made from water-resistant, anti-microbial bamboo, the caddy fits most bathtubs and extends to 43-inches across. It features two convenient detachable trays and the bottom has silicone grips to keep it firmly in place. The natural bamboo color fits with a range of decor, but the tray also comes in black, blue, white, and even hot pink.
Self-Care
Self-care shouldn’t be an indulgence, especially for busy moms taking care of family members. Look for a gift that encourages mom to carve out some much-needed “me time,” whether a gift card to the hair salon or spa, a nice skincare product, or the latest book by her favorite author. Bonus points if you pair it with a cozy blanket to relax under.
Romance
Moms with romantic partners don’t get tons of time to invest in their relationship, so consider a gift that encourages just that. For example, you could buy the busy couple tickets to a concert or a gift card to a nice restaurant. Just make sure you don’t forget to line up a babysitter, too (or offer to watch the kids yourself).
