The best gift that you could probably get for a busy parent is a second pair of fully functional hands or maybe even a clone to help us keep up with all of the things we’ve got going on. Since that not a feasible option, the next best things are those that can make our jobs easier or give us a little bit of rest or pampering! Here’s what we’re eyeing up this year for our Christmas lists…
Lenovo Yoga 730 15-inch Laptop – $930.99
Whether it’s to correspond with teachers, send photos to grandparents, or just to relax and play some games, a laptop is essential for the busy parent!
We’ve always been pretty partial to Lenovo because the quality is fantastic and they’ve always held up very nicely for us. The Yogo 730 is slim and folds up to be used as a tablet as well as a laptop. It’s very lightweight and incredibly portable. It’s got 8th generation Intel® Core i7 processors and if you don’t know what that means, let’s just say more speed and power! Similarly to a previous, smaller one we’ve got from this collection, the Yoga 730 is amazing for artists too! 4K display and gaming ready, this laptop is at the top of both mine and my husband’s list this season!
The hook: I love the sleek portability of the Yoga 730 but what I love most is the 2-in-1 laptop/tablet feature! It’s two gifts in one! See our full post here.
SOL REPUBLIC Amps Air 2.0 Ear Buds – $129.99
The kids are loud and music is soothing so a good pair of headphones are absolutely necessary for any busy parent!
SOL REPUBLIC is a favorite brand of mine so it’s no surprise that these awesome, comfortable wireless ear buds pack a kicking sound that rocks your sock off! All the phone calls to Grandma have confirmed that even telephone calls sound crisp and clear through the Amps Air 2.0 ear buds!
The hook: The best part about the Amps Air 2.0 are the EASE! Charging is as simple as dropping them into the little box, which can also be charged, making them absolutely ideal for on-the-go use! Legitimately my most used new item this year!
Healbe GoBe2 – $200
Anything that can help us stay focused on being healthy and being around for our kids longer is something worth checking out!
The Healbe GoBe2 is a fitness tracker watch which follows your exercise, food and water consumption, how much (or little!) you sleep, and so much more that you may not even have been thinking about. All of this information goes straight to the app on your phone so you can access it at any time.
The hook: We love the in-depth fashion in which it tracks and examines your habits, including how to improve them!
HoMedics Shiatsu Select Foot Massager with Heat – $49.99
We’re on our feet ALL day running errands and cleaning up after people so when we can’t bribe the spouse or kids into a foot rub, a foot massager is the ideal way to get some relaxation in.
The HoMedics Shiatsu Select Foot Massager with Heat is a soothing foot massager that you just plug in and it gives a deep Shiatsu massage to your little tootsies. You can choose to use the heat feature or not but either way, it’s a much needed release!
The hook: Your comfort is as simple as tapping a power button with your foot once or twice to add heat! A toe tap of power!
BaBylissPRO Nano Titanium Prima3100 Hair Straightener – $179.95
For a mom, looking great can make us FEEL great but we don’t always have the time or patience for a visit to the hairdresser. The BaBylissPRO Nano Titanium Prima3100 is an amazing at-home tool for beautiful locks!
The BaBylissPRO Nana Titanium Prima3100 is a sleek flat iron that heats up to 465°F, making even the thickest, coarse and curly hair straight and smooth in no time. Cutting that beauty time in half is a gift that keeps on giving for moms and the people waiting on her. Haha!
The hook: This easy to handle, no pinching and pulling hair straightener provides a smooth and polished finish perfect to look your best for the holidays!
The Real Simple Method to Organizing Every Room: And How to Keep It That Way – $17.56
I know it seems like all of us were born with the ability to categorize cooking tools and label shelves but not all of us were! The Real Simple Method to Organizing Every Room really breaks down the basics for those of us (moi!) who need it!
The Real Simple Method to Organizing Every Room shares tips, tricks, pictures, and the complete method for organizing your life. It’s a process, it takes time, but this book really walks you through everything.
The hook: This book goes step-by-step, room to room, and really makes this job slob-proof and, well, SIMPLE!
Camtrade Footwear – $39.99-59.99
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: we feel better when we look better! Help mom put her best foot forward with a gorgeous pair of shoes!
We’ve tooted our shoe horns about the Camtrade Footwear lines many times before. Secret Celebrity and Soft Comfort always have beautiful shoes available at your finger toetips and we’ve proven that they even make a great gift for Grandma!
The hook: The comfort! No matter how cute these shoes are, they never take away from the comfort factor like your typical women’s shoes. It’s astounding!

Lotus Trolley Bags – $29.95
Wouldn’t it be nice if our houses just magically replenished all of our food and toiletries? Well, that’s not going to happen so wouldn’t it be almost as nice if we could simplify the shopping process more?
We can’t change how crowded the lines will be, how many numbers deep in the deli you are, or the fact that it takes a lot of self control not to stop in the bakery and ice cream sections, but it IS possible to make grocery shopping simpler. Using the Lotus Trolley Bags, you’ll pack your cart easily, separating and organizing your items! There’s even an insulated cold bag to keep your items cool, just in case you do stop by that ice cream section. Lotus Trolley Bags are machine washable and fold up to be stored away until your next shopping trip.
The hook: You had us at easier grocery shopping, really!
The Comfy – $39.99
Here comes the cold weather and our desire just to snuggle up under a warm blanket with a good book. But what about a twist in your average blanket…
The Original Comfy is a wearable blanket/sweatshirt with a soft, thick plush on the inside and an even softer, smooth material on the outside. Actually, it’s reversible so inside, outside, whatever your preference really. The Comfy fits like a sweatshirt with sleeves, a hood, and even a nifty pocket, but it feels more like a soft blanket bundled up around you! One size fits all means that it can be for anyone in the family or even get matching ones for everybody.
The hook: Hands-free warmth so I snuggle into a blanket while also doing all of the other stuff I’ve got to get done!
Vertellis – $19.99
Being the conversation starter isn’t always the easiest, especially with a big family in today’s political climate. What about a game that not only starts the discussions but brings us closer together?!
Vertellis means “tell me more” in Dutch and it’s actually an amazing game! Encourage family members to bond and share personal stories, really get to know these people sitting around the holiday table with you year after year. I’d like every variation of Vertellis for every party and family gathering I attend.
The hook: Bonding! I’m a sucker for anything that encourages love and relationships. For example: The first card we ever pulled out got my mom and I both complimenting her, which unfortunately, I think a lot of people don’t do regularly enough. It was a really moving moment that wasn’t lost on me.
