Whether they're helping with a homework project, running play time, bath time, and bed time, cooking dinner, or sitting down to draw up the family budget, stay-at-home moms have a gazillion jobs in one. They are also a significant portion of the parenting population, according to a recent Pew Research Center analysis of US Census Bureau data, which found that more than 11 million US parents -- or 18 percent -- were not working outside the home in 2016. But while they may not be heading to an office or working for an outside employer remotely, stay-at-home moms are still working -- extremely hard -- to care for their LOs and run an efficient household. The bulk of cooking, cleaning, laundry, child care, and other duties fall to a stay-at-home mom, and because she works from home, it's a 24/7 kind of job. There are no sick days and only infrequent personal days -- and that's only if a SAHM happens to have a partner who can take off work, another loved one around to help, or professional child care. 

Some days it feels like the job of raising kids and running the household is fulfilling and joyful, and others when it's downright trying. Given everything on their plates, we decided to round up the best gifts for stay-at-home moms. When we asked several we knew, many said that the best gifts are those that allow them spend more one-on-one time with their partner, on a rare date night, or with friends, on a girls' night out. The gifts they're wishing for also allow them to sneak in that well-deserved, much-needed self-care -- be it a trip to the spa, a box filled with bath and body products that she can use at home, or a gift card for a service that allows a SAHM to take a break from worrying about deep-cleaning the kitchen or figuring out what's for dinner. Here are 20 of the best gifts for stay-at-home moms -- and that themselves say they would love to receive. That said, stay at home moms have plenty of interests outside the home. For moms into the zodiac and star signs, there are gifts for people who are obsessed with astrology. Or, perhaps a better choice would be gifts for grown-ups that aren't just more stuff, but instead are experiences a mom might enjoy.

Bean Box Coffee Sampler

Stay-at-home moms put in a lot of work all day, every day -- and it's exhausting, physical, messy work, at that. These moms work hard and need their morning (and afternoon) cups of coffee. A subscription box full of Seattle's top coffee blends is always appreciated.

A Babysitting Gift Certificate

One of the best gifts for stay-at-home moms is the opportunity to go do things outside the home (or even in the home) without having to care for their kids for a couple of hours. We can just write up a cute DIY babysitting gift certificate she can unwrap as a present, then Venmo or PayPal her the amount we are comfortable with. This way, mom can use her preferred babysitter -- without having to concern herself with the expense, for once.

Avoid Speaking Until I'm Done Mug

The message on this mug is sure to get any domestic boss lady's bottom line across. Just because she doesn't go into an office all the time doesn't mean coffee isn't just as essential to start her day.

Mom Hustle Tee

This stylish T-shirt celebrates all that SAHMs do for everyone in her life.

Even one night off for a solo stay, romantic getaway, or girls' trip will be a truly cherished gift for a SAHM. Going someplace where she doesn't have to make the bed? Where a breakfast buffet is provided for her rather than by her? With a bathtub she can use undisturbed by small children? Heaven.

Out of every gift on this list, this is definitely the most expensive, but if it's in the budget this year, this is really one of the best gifts for stay-at-home moms. Literally every SAHM we know says they'd love -- and could really use -- a hands-free vacuum robot, like this well-reviewed Roomba.

This gift card lets a stay-at-home mom enjoy beautiful, sustainably grown blooms as part of an ongoing subscription -- or a one-time stunning arrangement. While everyone likes to have flowers delivered, we don't always know someone's preferred type (or which blooms' scents they dislike).
