Gifts for the Busy Homemaker

Instant Pot Electric Pressure Cooker – This lovely appliance also functions as a slow cooker, yogurt maker, rice cooker, and more! I have the Duo 7-in-1 model and I use it almost EVERY day.

Air Fryer – I have used my two InstantPots for years but I was late coming to the Air Fryer. It just didn’t handle enough food for a large family. I really enjoy the little one I got from my mom but this one might be next on my list!

Robot Vacuum – I’m on my second one and I do like it more than I thought I would! Nice to turn it on before heading to bed. 

Natural Health & Beauty Products & Essential Oils – I enjoy using essential oils in our home. Although I’ve used them and other natural products for years, I more recently discovered two great Christian essential oils companies, Hopewell and BeeYoutiful, and can’t wait to try more from them! Here are some ideas to consider: 

Homemaking Scriptures – One frugal gift idea is to download these free scriptures specifically for homemakers! Print the cards and mount each one on simple card stock, then laminate them for a sweet gift that will encourage her on the hard days. The download comes with some beautiful art prints you can frame for her as well!

Bible Journaling Kit – Buy one of these beautiful journaling bibles for a thoughtful and lasting gift that will really enrich her life. I use one of these daily! She can try the fun illustrating and picture journaling so many love, or do what I do and write her thoughts and prayers in the wide margins. Be sure to snag some good pens that won’t bleed through he pages! 

Coloring for Relaxation Coloring for grown-ups is all the rage right now! Chances are, she already loves it or wants to try it. Get her a little bundle of beautiful coloring books and some high-quality colored pencils, and she’ll be all set!

Amazon Prime – This is SUCH a handy gift, providing free shipping, two-day delivery, and all sorts of other perks. I held out on this for a long time because it seemed so extravagant, but I finally bit the bullet and I’m so glad I did!

Apple Air Tags Help her find the things that always get lost! Saves time and sanity. They can be attached to keys, the remote, her purse, or even that math book. lol!

Busy Mamas Bible Study Kit – This is my favorite Bible study resource for moms! I have done several of them and they are solid, go deep into study, but are really organized in such a way that the busy mom can realistically do it! Most of them have optional activities for kids as well. Highly recommend them as well as any of the Doorposts material!

Busy Mamas Bible Study Kit from Doorposts

 

Every Moment Holy – This is a beautiful and surprisingly practical book on prayer, in that it includes prayers for the daily things of life (laundry, planning, etc.)

Motivational Water Bottle – Includes time markers to help achieve water intake goals. I like that it doesn’t need a straw and is machine-washable.

Flameless Candles – I like these because they flicker and the flame moves. It’s more realistic looking! We haven’t done real candles much since we started having kids and got out of the habit. I like that these don’t have any fire hazard!

 

Scripture Cards from Not Consumed – I really love these and there are several sets to choose from!

Pan Scrapers – I know it’s weird, but I use these all the time and they are so handy for getting pans of all shapes clean!

Dutch Oven – These are wonderful for soups, roasting, baking, and more, because they can go from stovetop to oven! I use mine most often for baking artisan bread. The one I use was gifted to me and is from Le Creuset, but it’s significantly more expensive and I’ve heard the Lodge or even Amazon Basics ones are great!

Charcuterie Boards – I bought this one for my mom and ended up getting it when she passed away. We’ve really enjoyed using it for quick homeschool day lunches!

Olive Oil Sprayer – I use mine all the time for spraying pans to prevent sticking, sautéing, and adding oil to salads.

Ember Smart Mug – This is one of those things I never thought I’d get much use out of and I was wrong. I use it often and LOVE it! No more re-heating coffee endlessly. This keeps it warm enough that I can finish a cup! 

Foot Heat / Vibrate Machine – My husband got this for me one day because I’m on my feet all the time. It is lovely and the kids use it, too!

Sherpa Fleece Weighted Blanket – Perfect for nighttime sleeping help and it’s sooooft!

Restaurant or Coffee Cards – Whether she’s taking a break away from the house to plan and sip coffee, or head out with the hubby for a much needed date night, gift cards for a restaurant or coffee shop are a win. Just do it. 

Tickets to a Concert or Event – Get the couple tickets to a concert (or one for her and a friend) and then be sure to handle babysitting and dinner for the kids! 

Maid service – That’s all I have to say about that.

  1. I would love the instant pot, i’ve seen and heard so many great reviews on it lately. I would have fun trying new recipes in this.
