What’s on a mom’s holiday wish list?
I recently got asked this by Eli of Coach Daddy. And I admit, I am the worst at giving ideas to my loved ones during the holidays or even for my birthday when asked what they can get me. I am truly an indecisive person by nature, plus I truly never can think of things I may need when indeed asked.
So when I was asked to help out share what might actually be on most mom’s holiday wish list, I had to think long and hard, but then it all started to unravel and come to me as I spent the day with my kids.
They truly are the perfect inspiration, as to what I could want or most mothers for that matter.
So sit back, read, enjoy and start asking Santa for possibly some of these too. Because I know when the big guy asks now, I sure don’t want to be unprepared and don’t think you want to be either. Click here or the image below to find out what I am asking for from Santa and get some inspiration now!
And for those still looking for entertainment options, please take a look below from my affiliate, Zinc Doors for some inspiration now~

A day off – that's what I want. No kids, no laundry, no cooking – nothing. Just a day to relax.

Thank you so much for this post Janine! I was just having this conversation with my hubby last night…there is honestly NOTHING I need or want (besides a break, which you can't wrap and put under the tree!). But I have to come up with some actual items, so this will be helpful!-Ashley

Ahhh…the holidays. 😀 I love the time spent with family; the time getting presents always leaves me a little frazzled, lol. I hope you're having a wonderful season, though. xo

I have no idea what Bev will be buying me. I know I haven't given her any ideas. Besides, I got my great digital camera for my birthday in October, so that should count for Christmas too, don't you think? Have a great day Janine.
Janine Huldie says
I think you and Bev will figure it out and know you already have the most important gift, which is love and respect!! Have a great rest of the day now!! 🙂

Wow! I'd never heard of Zinc – I'd LOVE to have one of those Crystal Platters! They are just gorgeous! I love how they are not asymmetrical.
I also love Pandora – I've got a bracelet that's full and each of my girls has one that's got several beads but I'm still adding each year:)
Janine Huldie says
I love Pandora for sure Kelly and I too am always adding to my wish list with each new release!! 🙂

Derek asks too- and all I want it a trip away… but that's too expensive!! So I always ask for a small gift card anywhere- so I can treat myself, which I rarely do!! Can't wait to see your list!!

I would have a list of things, but a) money is an issue and b) I'm really REALLY picky about details.. But hubby is great at buying me jewelry 🙂

I love Pandora bracelets and beads, but what I REALLY want is to sleep in. Wouldn't that be amazing?! Sigh… 🙂
Janine Huldie says
I am so with you on this Becky, as much as I love my Pandora charms, sleep comes first!! 🙂
Brittnei Washington says
Some people are extremely difficult to buy for. I'd have to say that I may not be one of them. My hubby usually just listens to what I say and then next thing I know he's bringing it home. Our very first Christmas together we exchanged gifts and there were several items I had said that I needed in the past and he remembered. 🙂

Janine Huldie says
I love that he listens to you and must say my husband is usually pretty good at this, too!! 🙂

MelChi says
What a great list! I'm so with you on the self-cleaning house. Wouldn't that be amazing??!!! I remember your list last year was a little similar. I really think you need a day of sleep and relaxation for Christmas… like a voucher you can use anytime (with advanced warning of course!) hehe. Have a fab weekend!

Thanks Melanie and a day of sleep would be heavenly right about now. I am so taking a mini blog break, but know I have so much more that needs to be done this weekend to make sure that we are all ready for Christmas now. Have a great weekend, too 🙂
