Whether the mom you know is in the throes of her first month home with a newborn or dealing with a toddler who is getting into everything and just won't sit still for more than two minutes, it's likely that she's tired . . . and she hasn't slept in, like, a month. Show her you understand what she's going through by getting her a holiday gift that encourages her to carve out a little quiet time. Whether she can find five minutes or a full hour, these 14 gifts will help her get the message across that she's oh so tired.
She's likely been up around the clock for feedings and it shows. Get her some slick Le Specs Rapture Cat-eye Acetate Sunglasses ($60) that she can throw on if she has to run outside.
Mom is likely surviving on what little caffeine she can get her hands on, so get her this appropriate Coffee Before Talkie Mug ($12, originally $18).
No matter what time of day it is, she likely would love a nap. Get her this Boohoo Bon Voyage Eye Mask ($6) so she can block out the daylight.
The It Cosmetics Bye Bye Under Eye Illumination ($24) is a waterproof concealer that can help brighten her tired eyes.
Mom is likely so sleepy, she can't even formulate sentences. This Tired as a Mother Shirt ($18) means she doesn't have to.
Show the leading lady in your life that you appreciate how hard she's working by drawing her a bath and pouring in the Coconut Soak ($18). Then be sure no one bothers her.
Swisse Ultiboost Sleep Tablets ($18) can be used to help with mild insomnia and other sleep concerns.
The quickest way to help someone feel a little more done up is with a brand-new Saint Laurent Rouge Pur Couture ($37) lipstick. She can throw her hair in a bun, apply her red pout, and feel a little more sprite.
Give her some time to herself and pick up the BioRepublic Lost Baggage Under Eye Emergency Repair Mask ($45 for a set of 10). She can lock herself in the bathroom and bring life back to her skin.
These Everlane Cashmere Sweatpants ($140) are the antithesis of mom sweats. They're delicate, cashmere, and dry clean only. She deserves to lounge around in something clean every now and then.
Sometimes all it takes is the sweet aroma of a Malin+Goetz Mojito Candle ($54) floating in your bedroom to put you in a relaxed mood.
If she's up all night, make sure she has a cozy pair of UGG Women's Hafnir Clog Slippers ($100) to wear. Her feet will thank you.
