Life for moms with school-aged kids can be majorly overwhelming for a bevy of reasons. From coordinating schedules to packing school lunches to helping with homework, the parents who are seeing their kids through every level of education, from kindergarten on up to senior year of high school, are juggling tons of school-related to-dos. It takes a particularly enthusiastic, organized mom to get actively involved in her child's parent-teacher organization. 

Surely, it doesn't hurt if she also happens to dig -- and be especially talented -- when it comes to baking up batches of cupcakes and cookies for the classroom. After all, there are plenty of events that will call for her to whip up kid-friendly -- maybe also allergy-friendly! -- sweet treats.  

Thanks to their involvement and efforts, kids, educators, the school, and the community are able to enjoy an amazing source of support. And because they're likely running fundraisers, they're supporting the community, as well. That said, these PTA/PTO moms absolutely deserve all the recognition in the world for the activities they pull together and enthusiasm they bring to the table. 

Thankfully, there are plenty of possibilities to choose from when it comes to presents that are absolutely perfect for an organized, busy PTA mom with a crazy-packed agenda and huge heart. From baking-themed gifts to pre-made sweets that might be exactly what she needs after a long day of running from appointment to event to volunteering opportunity, organizational systems to on-point motto mugs, and motivational journals that suit her upbeat, team player personality, she'll undoubtedly be thrilled to receive any of these smart, multi-purpose gifts. 

Here are 20 gift ideas for any awesome PTA mom.
