With the number of mothers who choose to stay home with their children on the rise in recent years is a person we all know and love. Whether our spouse, sister, friend or even our mother, we all have to stay at home mom (aka SAHM) on our shopping list this holiday season. Here are ten gift ideas to start you on track for the perfect gift. You'll find ideas, covering a wide range of prices. 1 – A Day Off Coupon: The first thing that came in my opinion was a gift that will not cost money at all. I think the reason this came to mind for me first was a comment to my husband recently about how even when he got the day off, I never did. He treated me on Valentine's Day with a day off and it was great to catch up on some reading, do not worry about cooking, go run errands on my own …. a great luxury to not have kids in tow, while dropping a letter off to my pen pal at the post office. Consider reading your special stay-at-home-mom to a day-off coupon, where she is allowed one day to do what she wants and you take over. I promise you it will be a gift she will not forget. 2 – Merry Maids Service: Now, whether you're actually paying for the Merry Maids to come clean, or do a "merry maid" house cleaning service yourself a chance to not worry about house work would be welcome. SAHM often say how hard they work on the house, and it often does not even seem to show. I know with a two year old and a 6 months old I am constantly sweeping yet often by the time my husband comes home, you can not tell. It would be nice to allow someone else to "deep clean" the house for a change instead of me. 3 – Day spa treatment: A mother works hard to take care of her family and sometimes they do not always take care of itself. A pre-paid trip to a day spa is an excellent way to show your SAHM how much you appreciate her. A day of pampering, pedicures and styling might be just the thing to refresh his spirit, and her appearance! Many day spas offer packages, or you can choose just the items you think she will enjoy the best. 4 – A "Girl's Night Out": I recently went to a concert with one of my friends and we had so much fun! My husband came home early from work to see babies, I got dressed to the nines, and we went out one night in town. Does she enjoy music? Treat her to a concert or symphony. Is she enjoys theater? Buy tickets and arrange for her to go with a friend to see a show or musical. She comes home feeling refreshed, having enjoyed an evening of adult conversation and interaction. 5 – Handy-Man Coupon: I took an informal poll of a couple of stay-at-home friend of mine and half of them mentioned a specificproject around the house that they were wanting to get done. A new floor in kitchen, new counter and sink set (this woman had even bought the materials already 6 months ago and just needs her husband to install them!) And new cabinets installed over the washer and dryer were just a few of what I heard. Half of the women who listed a home improvement project mentioned things that would not cost any money at all, or things they had already bought and had just the man power to complete. Do not forget that a SAHM uses 90% of his time in the house, so a project may seem small and insignificant to you is staring her in the face several hours each day. Give her a "slave-for-a-day" ticket and show up in your toolbox and positive attitude and see how appreciative she is. 6 – New Bible: It was at the top of the list for many women I spoke to. Most of the SAHM's I know consider their God-given responsibility. Their spiritual nourishment is very important to them. It was interesting that each woman mentioned a bible for me, had a special Bible already in mind, so I'd suggest taking them with a Bible bookstore as part of a date and allow them to choose the exact, they want. Get the personal or inscribed with a loving message to a gift, she will use and cherish for many years to come. 7 – Helps Exercising: It was a second, I've heard more than once. A woman asked for a treadmill (or a move to a warmer climate so she could go outside!) And another wished she could have 20 minutes uninterrupted work out several times a week. A thought-provoking, and no cost gift may be an offer to see the children in 20 or 30 minutes three times a week so she could have time to train. Most women want to take care of themselves anymore, but feel guilty for doing so. If she knew things were taken care of the SAHM interest you would feel able to spend a little time to themselves more often. 8 – Kitchen Appliance: Generally speaking, a stay at home mom is the one cooking more often. Sometimes we try to do it without the proper tools and equipment, as many of the mothers I spoke with had their eye on a new kitchen appliance. Not great as a new stove or something, they looked at the pressure cookers, canners, bread makers and mixers. This is another area where each knew exactly what they wanted, a woman who wanted a fresh cake mixer even got a link to the exact one! If you take her for a nice lunch and then took her to a quality kitchen store and told her that she could pick out something she wished she would think she had gone to heaven! Unless you were sure you knew the exact brand and type of equipment she had an eye for it would be better not to try to buy it myself. Make it a fun day! 9 – Feed Our Hobbies: Whether we enjoy sewing or scrapbooking or gardening or whatever, if you show us that you support our interests and hobbies it will mean much for us. Take us to our favorite hobby shop and give us a budget. Free us up for an evening to go to a crop, quilting bee or other event related to our interests. Buy us a magazine subscription or a new book that will keep us informed of new trends and techniques. I remember a birthday when my husband arranged for me to go to an all-day workshop album it felt so good! Sometimes, for whatever reason, can SAHM us feel guilty for spending time and money on their personal hobbies or interests. Showing us that it is ok, and support our external activities will mean much for any mother who stays at home most of the time. 10 – TIME:: I can not express yourself, how many of the answers I got involved just spend time together. I did not hear a list of individuals wishing I heard wants to go shopping together, do the house together, or have a nice trip together. Both the men and ladies. So much of the time a mother who is home with her children all day does not get the same level of conversation and stimulation that she would work outside the home. Relationships are extremely important for her, but she is busy keeping the home, tending to children, etc., and not always take time to spend with others as she should. SAHM's want most to feel important to you and valued, and cherished so whatever you can do to communicate that to us would be the best present.See more gift guides and other articles written by Angela England
