Top 10 Stocking Stuffers for Work at Home Moms

Do you need ideas to fill the stocking of your favorite work from home mom this year? As a work from home mom, I know what we need (and want)! And here a list of 10 things I'd be thrilled to find in my stocking.

Stocking Stuffer #1: Note Cards 

I seem to always end up digging in my storage cabinet for a note card to send a quick thank you note to a client. I eventually find one, but then have another 45-minute search ahead of me for a matching envelope. Ugh!! So I would LOVE a box of cute little note cards, and I suspect many other WAHMs would, too!

Stocking Stuffer #2: iTunes Prepaid Gift Card

Does the work at home mom on your list listen to tunes as she works or when she exercises? Then what better gift than a prepaid iTunes gift card? Let her refresh her playlists (and make sure she's not buying songs for the kids)!

Stocking Stuffer #3: Sigg Water Bottle

As a big water-drinker, I always have a plastic water bottle on my desk that I refill and drink from all day. These Sigg water bottles are made completely from recycled material (environment-friendly, yay!) and actually resist bacteria. Not to mention they look really cool!

Stocking Stuffer #4: The Office, Season Four

Give your favorite work at home mom a laugh with season four of the very popular show, The Office. And you’ll make her thankful she works at home, too!

Stocking Stuffer #5: VA Secrets Revealed! The Book

OK, I confess...I wouldn’t want to find this book in my stocking, but that’s only because I wrote it! It certainly could be a great stocking stuffer for other work from home moms...and even moms who WANT to work from home.

Stocking Stuffer #6: USB Flash Drive

For home-workers that frequently access multiple computers or have to transfer files to clients, one of the best and most cost effective ways is with a USB flash drive. And you can definitely use more than one. A definite must-have for your WAHM stocking stuffer list.

Stocking Stuffer #7: Spa Foot Care Kit

What mom out there doesn’t need a little TLC? And what better way to give her that than with a foot care kit, complete with slippers, oils and lotions. Oh, and if you give this to your spouse, maybe throw in a foot massage with it for bonus points!

Stocking Stuffer #8: VISA Gift Card

Yes, sometimes we all get stumped when thinking of great stocking stuffer ideas, so why not consider a VISA gift card and then the recipient can buy anything they want!

Stocking Stuffer #9: Coffee Mug and Coffee

How about coffee or tea? Most people I know drink one or ther other regularly, so agreat stocking stuffer idea is a mug and coffee (or tea!). And really, who doesn't enjoy sipping their morning beverage from a huge latte-style mug that screams LUXURY? I know I would!

Stocking Stuffer #10: Blackberry Sleeve

Many people that work from home have a BlackBerry or iPhone so they can be in touch with work when they are away from the office. A great stocking stuffer idea is a cool (and colorful!) protective sleeve for their device.
