Gifts for the Goldendoodle Lover

December 2, 2018 by Stacy Craft Leave a Comment

If you need gifts for the Goldendoodle lover in your life, look no further. We have scoured the internet for the cutest doodle merchandise out there.

ultimate gift guide for the Goldendoodle mom

Meet Murphy. He loves to steal things that don’t belong to him, act scared of inanimate options, and bark when a leaf blows by. He was a gift that I gave to my mom a couple of years ago.

It is safe to say that she would love any of these gifts for the Goldendoodle lover. She is officially obsessed with this big ball of fur.

Murphy is probably what most would consider spoiled.

He has every dog toy available. A deluxe dog bed is waiting for him in the corner of the room (although he opts for the bed or couch typically).

Murphy loves to go to doggy day care while my mom works so that he stays occupied and can see his friends. Yes, he has his own friends. He is the product of an empty nest mother and he is proud of it.

Since he doesn’t want for much so as the upcoming holiday season approaches, I thought I would look for some Goldendoodle gifts that my mom might like that would portray her favorite doodle.

May 7, 2018 by Stacy Craft Leave a Comment

Finding a Mother’s Day gift for your wife seems to be a difficult task for most guys. It is kind of one of those holiday’s that sneak up on you.

And once it sneaks up, you need help to get something awesome for your wife but you also need it fast. Here I will show you groups of items that you can easily put together for your wife on Mother’s Day.

These Mother’s Day gifts for your Wife are all on Amazon and they don’t suck. After all, she is the love of your life and mother of your children. She deserves something amazing.

Mother’s Day Gift For Your Wife on Amazon That Don’t Suck

These gifts are by category so that you can simply identify your wife’s likes and buy accordingly. 

And if you don’t have time to get something in from Amazon, read what she really wants here (tip – you can do it for free!).

The New Mom (or Expecting Mom)

Don’t neglect this important mommy. If your wife is expecting your first child, don’t be the only husband that doesn’t get her a Mother’s Day gift. Trust me, you don’t want to be that guy! Even though she may not have the baby in her arms yet, she is working hard growing that little bean for you. Shower her with love and treats.

Mother's Day gift for your wife expectant mother

Mommy Est. 2020 Mug – She can use this cute mug for tea, coffee or hot cocoa and will love that it shows off her new mom status.

If you can…Rub My Feet Socks – Carrying a baby around for 9 months is hard work. She will need a little pampering. Bonus points if you buy these & give her a foot rub!!

Belly Laughs Book – If she hasn’t read all the books yet, this is a good one. Written by Jenny McCarthy, it offers insight into the real world of what to expect with regards to pregnancy and childbirth. She writes in a way that is funny yet informative.

First Mother’s Day Baby Outfit – If the baby is already here, dressing them up in a Mom’s Day outfit is sure to win mama over. We can’t resist our babies displaying their love for us. These are offered for girls and boys.

Gourmet Treats – When you pregnant, a sweet treat is often just what you need. Fancy Caramels, Decadent Caramel Apples, or Gourmet Chocolate dipped Sandwich cookies will have her singing your praises.

 

Wine Loving Mom

Because kids. Sometimes mama just needs some wine to wind down after a long day. Here are some fun and unique wine gifts that will make her happy.

Mommy’s Sippy Cup Wine Glass – This double wall stainless steel cup can be used for wine or other drinks. It has a cute saying printed on the front and is a fashionable mint color.

Rewined Candle – I have purchased these at local boutiques before. The candle is actually in a reclaimed wine bottle and they smell like sauvignon blanc, pinot noir or even champagne. Perfect Mother’s Day gift for your wife that loves all things wine related.

Wine Inspired Coaster Set – Funny, wine inspired quotes that she and her friends will love reading during girls night. (You are giving her a “free” girls night while you keep the kids for Mother’s Day, right?).

Wine Gift Bag – Cute little bag to package a bottle of wine up in.

Wine Lip Gloss – For the mom that needs all things wine, give her this unique lip gloss.

Swig Wine Glass – These are so popular right now. If your wife doesn’t have one, you should consider getting her one! They are kind of like the Yeti cups for a wine lover.

Sense of Humor Mom

Off Duty Go Ask Dad Socks – I seriously want to buy these for myself. I LOVE them. Beware, this might cause a little extra work for you Dad but your wife deserves it right?

Mom Life Adult Coloring Book – A snarky look into #momlife while relaxing and coloring in an adult coloring book to relieve stress. She will get a kick out of the realities of motherhood while having some “me time.” Don’t forget to buy some colored pencils to go with this great find.

Parentally Incorrect Book – I actually bought this for myself after seeing it on the Today show. The book is a bunch of short, 2 or 3 sentence stories about the crazy things our kids do. I find it to be hilarious and keep it on my desk near the playroom. Any time I am having a bad day, I read a story or two and feel better that I am not the only one! It does have some language in it so make sure that is your wife’s type of humor.

Mom that Needs Rest

The Mother’s Day gift for your wife that she is sure to enjoy is a gift of rest. I see it on every “what do you want for Mother’s Day” facebook post in the “Mom” groups. We all want to rest, sleep, relax. We want to do the things that we used to take for granted for just one day. Indulge her with luxury pajamas and fancy sleep aids and lovely candles. The best part of this gift set though is actually free. Give her the gift. Then offer to take the kids upstairs, to the park, to the store – anywhere that they won’t bother her. Let her take a bath, read a book and take a nap with no kiddo interruptions. You will be a God, praised by all the mommy’s in play group.

Sleep Candle – Promotes relaxation and eases tension

San Francisco Salt Co. Sleep Bath Salts – There is nothing better than a big bath filled with bath salts before a nice, quiet nap. If you ask my husband, I spend about half my free time in the tub! If your wife is the same, these salts help promote sleep. It comes in a cute bag, perfect for gifting as well.

Sleepy Time Bath Bomb – Pretty blue colored bath bomb that will fill her tub with bubbles and help to ease her into sleep. I love this with the Bath salts above. She might not use them together, but a girl loves options.

Soft Chanasya Faux Fur Blanket – Getting cozy on the couch or in bed isn’t complete without a soft fuzzy blanket. This throw is light enough to be used in May (that’s when Mother’s Day is guys!) but still the ultimate in cozy. There are a variety of colors to choose from for your Mother’s Day gift for your wife.

Amazon Gift Card in Mother’s Day Gift Box – I love the addition of a gift card with this Rest and Sleep Mother’s day gift for your wife. She can buy a book for her Kindle while she is having her down time or she could grab a movie if that is more of her thing.

Modal Pajama Set – Relaxing in a new pair of pj’s is just what she needs to complete the most relaxing Mother’s Day she has ever had. These are soft and lovely.

Modern Wave Water Bottle – Keeping her hydrated while she rests is a great idea. These bottles are all the new rage. They are great for when she is hanging at home or on the go. They have a ton of color options too!

Spa Day At Home Mom

This is great to combo with the Mama that loves rest from above or you can do it completely separately. It is great for the mama that loves to take care of herself but doesn’t have as much time as she used to. Just like with the “rest” package above, you need to offer her the time to use these thoughtful gifts. Take the kids on a morning excursion and give her 2 hours at the house alone. Better yet, half a day if you can swing it.

Onlywax Aromatherapy Candle – The best way to start an at home spa day is with soft music and a nice spa inspired scent. Flip the tv on to a soft music setting for her & present her with this boxed candle set. It is already in a ready to gift box.

Faux Shearling Slide on Slippers – She needs to get comfy while she uses all the new products that you are giving her. These slide on slippers are not only functional but cute and comfy.

Lighweight Robe – A soft and lightweight robe is needed for a day of lounging and pampering.

Keratin Hair Mask – With Keratin and Argan oil, this hair mask will leave her hair shiny and smooth.

Korean Sheet Masks – These thin, paper sheet masks go on easily and smell fresh. She can wear these for 20 minutes while relaxing in the tub. There are lots of different types included, so she can choose the one that she needs for dry skin, fine lines or relaxation.

Fruit Infusion Pitcher – When you go to the real spa, they always have some kind of fruit infused water for sipping on to keep hydrated. With this pitcher, she can make her own cucumber melon or strawberry mint infused water (or whatever else she can dream up). Bonus – she will also love it when her in home spa day is over because the kids will love it and it is much healthier than the prepackaged drink mixes.

Truffle Bath Bombs – These bath bombs are not only great for the skin but also look like amazing desserts. She will love choosing one of these to drop in her bath.

Amazon Mother’s Day Gift Card – Great for her to buy a book or some music while she is pampering herself.

Coconut Milk Body Scrub – Exfoliates skin with coconut oil which is basically the best thing since sliced bread.

Coffee Loving Mama

Let’s face it, almost every mama needs her coffee in the morning. If your wife is a java lover, here are some unique and fun options that center around her morning cup.

But First Coffee Box Sign – These signs from Primitives by Kathy go with almost any decor. They are small enough to not be obtrusive but large enough to be seen. Perfect to go next to her coffee pot or on her desk at work. A must for the coffee lover mama that needs coffee before she does the things.

Coffee & Jesus Sign – Same as above but for the mama that needs coffee & Jesus to start her day. I intentionally get up early so that I can have coffee and me time before the rest of my household rises. Does that sound like your wife?

Bring Me Coffee Non Slip Socks – These socks with little sayings on the bottom have become popular. I love these because they are packaged up like a cup of coffee and ready to be gifted. The socks instruct that “If you can read this, bring me coffee.”

Coffee Stronger than Toddler Mug – If you have a toddler, you know the struggle. It is an experience like no other, to parent a tiny toddler dictator. This mug is too cute and will make your wife smile while dealing with the hotwheels in the toilet or lipstick on the wall that is bound to occur.

Amoretti Premium Syrups – For the mom that loves to make coffee house creations at home. Fancy coffee is my thing – gourmet coffee, premium syrups, rich sugars. If your wife loves to “spice up” her coffee, this is a fun luxury.

Flavored K Cup Coffee Sampler – A variety of flavored K cup coffee options is always a fun treat. I personally buy this set multiple times per year. The different options and flavors make the morning time a little more fun and exciting.

Contigo Travel Mug – Is she constantly on the run to school, work or running errands? If so, this is the best travel mug ever. It doesn’t leak, the stainless steel design ensures fresh tasting coffee vs. plastic and it stays so hot. I actually have to leave the top off while I am making lunches and then put the top on before I walk out the door because it is otherwise too hot for me to drink. Pretty good problem to have! The pretty matte colors offered make having coffee a little more stylish as well.

Coffee Cup K Cup Holder – Decorative basket that stores k cups in a cute way. I love this as a gift because you can fill it with the flavored K cup coffee sampler listed above for a nice presentation. You could also fill it with a few gourmet, coffee infused snacks and treats. Coffee Bean Snackaroons, Kona Coffee Pecans, Biscoff cookies, and Coffee Infused Truffles would all be yummy treats for this basket.

I hope this helps you find the perfect Mother’s Day gift for your wife. Did you already buy something for her? What did you get?
