Christmas Gift Guide for Mums: From “2kg of prawns and silence” to gifts that actually refill our cups.
When mums get asked what they want for Christmas, the answers rarely sound like a wrapped present under the tree.
They sound like peace, space, rest, and maybe a hot coffee for once. Because when you spend 365 days thinking of everyone else, the most meaningful gift is one that finally centres you.
So we asked the Not Just A Mum community what they really want this year — and the results? Hilariously relatable and deeply telling 👇
What Mums Actually Want for Christmas
(As Submitted by Our Community of Mums)
“2kg of prawns, a cutesy Christmas movie I’ve never seen before, and some mint Corinthians 🙌”
“I want an 8-hour sleep minimum, a long bath, a massage, hair salon AND nail salon appointment 😂”
“24 hours alone away from everyone.”
“Time. By. Myself!!”
Sound familiar? 🙃
Motherhood is full of love, but it can also be loud, relentless, and consuming. The perfect gift doesn’t have to be expensive — it just needs to remind her that she still matters.
