10 Unique Gifts For Mom (that she’ll actually love and use!)
1. Acupressure Mat Pillow
Being a mom can actually feel like back-breaking physical labor, especially if you are taking care of young children.Acupressure Mat Pillow + Muscle Roller + Massage Stick Set 
A study has found that a needle stimulation pad like this acupressure mat provided significant relief from chronic neck pain and back pain (1).
Oftentimes, the stiffness you feel is caused by the lack of blood circulation in these parts of your body.
The acupuncture mat triggers pressure points in the body to promote blood circulation, relieve stress and ease muscle tension.
I found the mat also provides fast headache relief from my personal experience!
This set also comes with a massage stick and muscle roller ball that are great for post-workout muscle relieve.
Achieve ultimate relaxation in as little as 5 minutes by simply lying flat on the mat!
2. Gratitude Journal
There is little time for self or self-care being a busy mom. It’s easy to feel overwhelmed when you are in the weeds thinking about every little detail to take care of the whole family’s needs.
Sometimes just taking a step back to appreciate the beauty of the forest instead of feeling lost in the trees is all you need.
The Five Minute Journal
Gratitude is a higher level of positive emotion that can bring more joy, optimism, and happiness.
Our brain is like a computer that you can program. When you practice gratitude consistently over a period of time, you train your brain to look for the positive.
This simple yet powerful 5 Minute Journal provides the structure to “re-program” your mind to look for the positive every morning and night in just 5 minutes a day.
3. Stovetop Espresso Maker
Caffeine and motherhood go hand in hand.
Most of us want quality espresso, cappuccino or lattes at home, but don’t have room for a giant espresso machine that takes up your precious kitchen countertop space.
This space-saving stovetop espresso maker takes less than 5 minutes to brew a warm, rich and velvety espresso.
Espresso originated from Italy, and most Italians have one of these at home!
4. Matcha Green Tea
Another great source of caffeine for busy moms is green tea.
Matcha green tea is rich in nutrients, antioxidants, fiber, and chlorophyll, in fact, to get the equivalent health benefits of matcha in a single cup, you’d have to drink at least 10 cups of regular green tea!
Unlike coffee, matcha green tea provides a calming and consistent energy boost that can last 5+ hours, making it one of the most practical, healthy and unique gifts for mom that she’ll definitely appreciate!
5. Gourmet Starter Spices Gift Set

If you already have the spices but need to organize and declutter your cabinet, you can easily access and display your spices in these magnetic spice jars right on your refrigerator!
I make and store my own spice blends in these magnetic spice jars for easy access.
