Christmas is vastly approaching so I’ve compiled a list of “I wish” gift ideas that most moms may want! First and foremost, how in the world can we get this memo out to our husbands and kids?! Secondly, I can think of all the materialistic presents that I would love to have but your perspective changes as you get older, get married, and have kids. So while clothes, accessories, jewelry, household items, and gift cards are appealing there’s more to add to our list for Santa to bring. After all, aren’t we all exempt from the naughty list when we have to put up with kids 24/7 (and a spouse for that matter) or does that make us the Grinch? Ha!
Here are my top 21 best gifts a mom would want for Christmas:
- To forget about electronics
- To not find boogers plastered to the bed frame (or anywhere for that matter)
- To have toys be put away every single time
- For someone else to clean the kitchen
- Solid SLEEP
- Peace and Quiet
- A kid free weekend
- Pre-made meals so we don’t have to think about meal planning
- The floors to be free of crumbs and trash
- To stop repeating myself a thousand times
- No high pitch screaming
- Run errands without kids and with no time obligation to return home
- TO (clap) STAY (clap) IN (clap) BED after being tucked in the first time
- To binge watch a show with zero interruptions
- No.More.Whining (or attitude for the older kids)
- To have the chores done, complaint free
- For your spouse to not get the kids all wound up RIGHT before bed (I love you, babe)
- Stop asking for candy
- To do your homework when asked
- Stop asking “why” or “are we there yet?”
- A day to do absolutely NOTHING
Disclaimer: Most of these gifts are not attainable until your child turns 18… 🙂
