Worst Christmas gifts for Stay at Home Moms
Pots, pans, and bread makers are wonderful to some stay at home moms, but not for the ones who are home all day with small children. Moms who stay home all day dream of getting out away from the kids occasionally. Skip the pots and pans this year and instead put a gift certificate in her stocking for her favorite restaurant and do not forget to arrange for a baby sitter.

Do not buy a huge diamond ring that will set you back a few hundred dollars unless you spring for the matching earrings for your stay at home wife. Some don’t enjoy flashy jewelry. Do not buy either gift if she does not like jewelry or you have no plans on taking her out for a night on the town where she can show off her jewelry.

There are many sales on vacuum cleaners, carpet shampooers, and things of this nature so some of you may think this is a perfect gift. Think again, this means more work for stay at home moms. Trust me we do enough work, however with a carpet shampooer she’ll clean the carpets monthly. Instead, hire someone to come in and professionally clean the carpets every two or three months.

That fuzzy housecoat or even the silky one may seem perfect but long housecoats are not convenient for most stay at home moms. Silky housecoats are awesome but they stain easily and are flammable. If you live in a warm climate instead grab a few sets of cute pajamas with have the shorts and a top, if you live in a northern climate opt for a nice pair of flannel pajamas.

Fur coats, cashmere sweaters, and fancy dresses are wonderful presents for moms who work out of the home. They are not the perfect gifts for stay at home moms, who need durable clothing as we work around the house. Opt instead for t-shirts, sweat suits, jeans and other comfortable clothes for the stay at home mom in your life.
I hope you have gotten some ideas of what not to buy your stay at home mom in your life this year. Don’t be the husband all women laugh at when they get the worst Christmas gifts. We women will compare notes we gather.
