Special Gift Ideas for the Stay-At-Home Mom (SAHM)

Husbands and kids with a stay-at-home-mom (SAHM), here's your chance to show your appreciation for the many things your SAHM does for your family! She's sure to enjoy anything on this list - take it from me, a fellow stay-at-home mom! We all have so much stuff already - I like to give (and receive!) gifts that are a little unique and that really take into consideration the passions of the recipient!

The Gift of Time: If there is one thing lacking in a SAHM's life, it is usually time, free time, that is, to do the things that she once enjoyed. So give the gift of time for the movies, for a workout, for a fun class...here's how! 

Purchase movie passes for your SAHM from www.fandango.com in the form of fandango bucks which can be redeemed at a network of theaters across the country. You can buy them in increments of $10, $15, $20, $25, $50, or $100 and remember to include babysitting services along with this gift! You might also include a Starbucks gift card for a little extra something before or after the movie! You can buy a Starbucks Card online at www.starbucks.com !

Many of us SAHM's don't find the time to sneak in a workout like we once did, so treat your SAHM to a gym membership. You can purchase a YMCA membership at your local "Y". Most YMCA websites also allow for online purchases! What could be easier! www.ymca.net has the details. Most YMCA's even have child care so that exercise can become a regular part of the SAHM's life again! Include a gym bag with new workout clothes and new sneakers or an MP3 player! Find these goodies at www.target.com.
