Well, they’re gonna be filled with things we love, gosh damn it. Every December, moms pull off a small miracle, and we do it mostly on our own. The presents get bought, wrapped, and tucked under the tree with tender care.
The stockings get stuffed, the Elf gets Shelf’ed, the fridge and pantry get filled with foods everyone in the family (even your little picky eater) will enjoy. And nearly every December, moms end up with an empty stocking or whatever drugstore special got picked up last-minute because, oops, Mom doesn’t have anything under the tree again! If your family actually remembers to toss a present or two under the tree or in the stocking for you, you’ve probably grown accustomed to getting the same gift, or some variation of it, every year.
A “World’s Best Mom” mug. We know it’s the thought that counts! But we also know that moms spend the entire holiday season thinking about everyone else’s wish lists, and nobody’s thinking very hard about ours.
That’s exactly why we here at Scary Mommy are big fans of taking matters into our own hands. Buy these gifts for yourself, stuff your own stocking, use ‘em to drop some very unsubtle hints on your partner’s phone, or forward this list straight to your friends and family. Because you, dear friend, deserve gifts you’ll genuinely love... and not another GD bath bomb (unless that’s your thing).
Every time I put these on the bed, my husband and I waller around like piggies in mud. You must waller, smiling with your eyes shut, to really enjoy them. I adore everything about these sheets and am jonesing to replace some of our old cheap sheet sets with more.
They feel breathable, don't make my night sweats worse like cheap sheets do, and they actually STAY on our mattress. We all know there's nothing worse than laying on a bunch of wrinkles all night once your fitted sheet pops off a corner. — Katie McPherson, Associate Editor, Lifestyle & Entertainment For the woman on your holiday list who is thoughtful about what goes on her skin, this is such a beautiful and meaningful gift. The Golden Beryl Moisturizer is a lightweight, non-greasy daily hydrator packed with organic turmeric root, ginger root, bearberry extract, hyaluronic acid, CoQ10, and Vitamin C, all formulated to brighten, even tone, and support the skin barrier without a harsh ingredient in sight.
