As we single moms count down to Christmas, I want to share with you my carefully selected suggestions for you to shop and treat yourself this holiday. Let’s face it! We do it all. And if we’re not dating, our gifts may be on the shabby side. No offense kiddos! We love our hand-made paper  … snow globe … handprint thing! And we can’t get enough of your carefully thought out gifts. We love you kids! Really. We looooove it. But, sometimes, we need some adult presents. You know … that helps us thrive, energize us, help us live a little, enjoy some fun and even some alone time, and frankly, that help us grow. So, if you are ready to treat yourself or if you’re reading this and want to shop for your single mom sister, lover friend, read on for 30 gifts every single mom needs.

As I consider what it is I like and what I know single moms in my groups and coaching like, I see a few categories that stick out. You want to grow personally and professionally, parent better, date on your level, stay beautiful and in the know, increase your cash flow, help others, and lastly RELAX! So, I’m sharing some of my favorite businesses that I know you will love. Most are women-owned businesses, too! Not all company owners are single moms, but they will all take care of you! Just click the company or product name and enjoy treating yourself this Christmas with these specially curated single mom gifts!

SINGLE MOM ENRICHMENT AND GROWTH

Do It Anyway! The Single Mom’s Guide to Living Life and Achieving Her Goals

I absolutely recommend this book (no shame in my game) for any mom who feels she’s lost her passion for parenting, career, or even her direction due to dealing with a breakup or divorce. No matter what may have caused you to become a single mom, this is the road map you’ve been waiting for. Learn the 12 steps you must go through to become excited about life, goal crushing, baby raising Rock Star you know you are! There will be no happy coming from other people. It starts with you and how you handle the season you’re in. Do the work.

It’s time to #doitanyway; a guidebook with action steps and a journal in one, you’re going to get to the end of this book and never go back to being sad about what you lost, stuck in your current state of mind, and fearful that you’ll never achieve your goals because you’re a single mom. Nope! You’re going to be equipped to do the doggone thang. I know. I went through it and have coached other women using these guides.

Parent, Thrive, Win

The single mom’s new favorite devotional. This book helps you build your faith while parenting.

Knowing God is the missing link to your issues is half the battle. Going deeper in devotional time to see what plans He has for you is the rest. Start now. Your future will thank you! Practical, concise, biblically based and just what you need for the ups and downs of single parenting.
