MOM HACKS || Ready Made Gifts
I learned this mom hack from my mother of course. She has always had a drawer or a shelf in her house full of ready made gifts. You just never know when something is going to pop up. A neighbor invites you over for dinner on short notice, a birthday you forgot or just buying ahead to save time later. Recently, one of my daughters teachers had a 1/2 birthday at school and all of the kids were supposed to bring in a card or a small gift. That’s when I finally decided that I needed to have my own little gift drawer at my house….FINALLY!
I’ve added a little shop section below for some ready made gift suggestions. My FAVORITE are the greeting cards, haha. I’m literally buying every.single.one because they are just TOO FUNNY. Why not avoid a stressful moment and get prepared for things that might pop up. Life happens and things will always pop up!!
Gift Ideas To Keep On Hand:
- Candle with a cute set of matches
- Vase
- Birthday/Anniversary/Get Well Cards
- Yeti Mug
- Starbucks Gift Card
- Stylish Water Bottle
- Journal
- Enclosure Cards
- Gift Bags w/ White Tissue Paper

I have done this for years. When I come across gifts for friends, i buy them. This is two-fold: spreads cost throughout year and assures I get very personal gifts along with several, small just because gifts.
These gift ideas are awesome. My go to greeting cards (blank…so I guess you have to come up with your own lines) are at from Debby Ellyn Studio. Beautiful marbled paper prints in a variety of colors that suit any occasion. I love the idea of having gifts on hand though…brilliant.
