I’ll admit it. I like Valentine’s Day. I love that it’s a day dedicated to letting loved ones know that we care about them, and why. I’ll also be the first to admit that one of the top things I’d want as a gift would be to sleep in. But, in addition to sleeping in, what would the busy mom in your life value this year? If you’re still looking for a few Valentine’s Day gift ideas, here are a few: from the practical to the pampering.

1. Letter.. Or a Sticky Note!
As I mentioned above, I love that this holiday is about telling others how we feel about them. It doesn’t need to be a long letter either. Heck, even a few sticky notes around your home can be a great way to tell your loved one just how much they mean to you, and why.
2. A Clean House
This one won’t cost you a thing except your time… unless you don’t want to do it yourself! But giving the gift of a clean house is something just about anyone will appreciate.
3. Kitchen Gadgets
I might not be the best of cooks, and my husband might do most of the cooking, but I’m all about having gadgets in the kitchen that will make whipping up a dish for the kids and the family easier and more efficient … like an Instant Pot is still on my wish list. Hint hint, hun, if you’re reading this! 😉
4. Anything with caffeine
I start every morning with a cup of coffee, Nespresso, or chai tea, and I know I’m not the only one. Pick out a fun new flavor to keep your busy mama or wife caffeinated and moving throughout the day.
5. Me time
One of the hardest things for us busy mamas to ask for on Valentine’s Day is time for ourselves. But me time is soooo necessary to recharge our batteries and be the best mom — and version of ourselves — that we can be. So give the gift of time, and maybe a gift card to a movie, restaurant, or Starbucks, before nudging us out the door.
6. A spa experience
One of the best kinds of “me time”? Time at the spa of course! Book a massage or mani/pedi appointment, or grab a gift certificate for us to use on ourselves. I promise we’ll return home in a wonderful mood, too!
7. Pampering at home
The pampering doesn’t need to end with the spa. One of my favorite treats for myself is my skincare. It only takes a few minutes, and it leaves me, and my skin, feeling so refreshed. Add in some makeup too, and these are the gifts that keep on giving.
Oh, and not that it needs to be said, but we’d love some chocolate and flowers, too.
Busy mamas, what would you like for Valentine’s Day?
