The best gifts don’t always come wrapped in ribbon — sometimes, they come as a deep breath, a moment of quiet or a task off your plate.
This year, instead of searching for more things, let’s focus on what busy women really want: ease, time and meaningful connection.
Here’s my curated guide to gifts that help her, or you, feel more supported, more rested and a little more seen.
1. Gifts That Save Time
Help her reclaim hours she’s been giving away.
My Home COO Gift Card: The ultimate “I see how much you do” gift. Perfect for busy moms, executives, or anyone whose list never ends. It can be used toward Clarity Consults, a Delegation Desk membership, a Project she's had on her mind or a month of Executive Support personal assistance.
Grocery or Meal Delivery Subscription: Meal delivery services bring calm to chaotic weeks and nourishment straight to the doorstep.
Hello Fresh is my go-to before or after travel weeks. It's one less decision on what’s for dinner.
Laundry or Dry-Cleaning Pickup Service: Because clean clothes shouldn’t require another stop on the way home.
2. Gifts That Create Calm
Because serenity is the new luxury.
Weighted Blanket or Aromatherapy Diffuser: Include a simple note: “For the nights you finally get to rest.”
Digital Declutter Session (or MHC Power Pack): A gift that helps her streamline systems (inbox, calendar, home) so she can start the new year fresh.
Spa or Massage Gift Certificate: Experience over clutter. Bonus points if you book the appointment for her.

3. Gifts That Support Her Systems
Practical meets elegant.
MHC Weekly Planning Notepad: For the woman who runs both her home and her career, a beautiful weekly view of meals, priorities, and schedules keeps the week grounded.
Personal Planner or Journal: Look for high-quality paper, minimal layouts, and prompts that promote clarity, not guilt.
I LOVE erincondren.com paper goods and journals!
Noise-Canceling Headphones: Because sometimes calm means not hearing the chaos. 😉
4. Gifts That Feel Personal
Sometimes, the best gifts are small but deeply intentional.
Framed Family Photo or Custom Calendar: Print a family photo or create a custom calendar for her desk or nightstand.
I'm a big fan of the Same-Day service at walgreens.com. It's my go-to for family gifts each year.
Subscription to Her Favorite Magazine or App: Whether it’s creativity, cooking or wellness, it’s a reminder that her interests matter.
Handwritten Letter of Appreciation: No purchase necessary, but often the most cherished gift.
5. Gifts That Give Back
For the woman who leads with purpose.
Donation in Her Name: Support causes that reflect her values: women’s education, community food banks, local parks or animal rescues to name a few.
Ethical or Small-Batch Brands: Consider companies that prioritize sustainability and social impact.
Bonus: Give Yourself the Gift of Ease
If this season already feels full, consider gifting yourself a little COO-level support.
From handling shopping lists to coordinating travel or managing home projects, My Home COO helps you create more calm in your days — and a little more presence in your holidays.
🎁 Gift cards are now available.
Give calm, clarity, and relief — or claim it for yourself.
