What types of gifts should I avoid for busy moms?
Avoid gifts that require significant time commitment to use or maintain, such as complex kitchen gadgets or very large items that take up space.
Are practical gifts better than sentimental gifts for moms?
It often depends on the mom's personality. Practical gifts show thoughtfulness about her busy life, while sentimental gifts can convey deep emotional appreciation.
Can I give a gift to a mom who works from home?
Absolutely! Gifts that enhance her work-from-home environment, like ergonomic accessories or organizers, are particularly thoughtful and useful.
Is it okay to give a busy mom the same gift as another person?
Yes, if the gift is truly useful and something she would appreciate, it doesn’t matter if others give the same item; practicality is key.
