I am a homemaker at heart.
I remember that on day 4 of our honeymoon I woke up and wanted to go home. Why? Because there was a darling little rented duplex just waiting on my hands to turn it into a home.
I was homesick for a home I hadn’t yet made.
Even though I spent the first 7 years of our married life working full-time plus, via 2 and 3 different jobs at the same time, I still longed for home. I consider myself to be “living the dream” now that I’m home full-time.
Admittedly there are days when I want to run away from adulting, but that happened before I became a stay at home mom so no surprise there. 🙂
Below I’ve put together a Homemaker’s Dream Gift List. These are ideas you can give family members for yourself, or ideas for you use when buying for others.
Homemaker’s Dream Gift List
I hope this guide will help you with your gift-making decisions this year, and if it does, would you please share it with others? Thanks!
Aprons! I love my aprons, and my newest (and favorite) came from Flirty Aprons. These are darling styles and designs at great prices. Make the deal even sweeter by using GOBBLE25 to take 25% off your order AND receive free shipping! (promo code good till Dec 1st)
Tupperware Food Processor. I received mine as a shower gift and still use it all the time! I can make a batch of fresh salsa with it in less than a minute or two. I also use it for mixing fruit into yogurt and making puddings, as well as other things. Here’s the one I have.
Silicone Basting Brushes. I recently ordered this set and I’m in love! No more losing bristles from the brush on your food. Best of all, they work even better in my opinion. Found here.
Little Dipper Crockpot. Seriously, this thing is perfect for dips and sauces and such a fun gift idea too!
Professional Pizza Cutter. My mom makes amazing pizza and I gave her this pizza cutter for her birthday. She was thrilled!
Amazon Prime Membership. Amazon prime is the best thing since sliced bread! As a busy mom I don’t always have time to run out and go shopping for different things as I need them. Many times I’m able to find a great deal on Amazon and in 2 days I have the item, no shipping cost makes it great!
Of course, Prime offers more than free two-day shipping. Like access to over a million ad-free songs, free photo storage, thousands of streaming movies and shows and free kindle books each month. Gift instructions here.
Robotic Vacuum. A sweeper is a bit of a bummer present as it just represents more work. Give a vacuum that does the work for you if you really want to impress. 🙂 We love our Bob!
Essential Oil Diffuser. Like most homemakers, I like my house to smell great. But candles are a big no-no for me as the synthetic scents really mess me up. Essential oils do not and I have diffusers all through the house. I love this large diffuser that runs in the main area.
Baking Mats. I love my silicone baking mats, they make cleanup a breeze and food never sticks to them. Double win in my opinion!
Lilla Rose Hair Clips. Homemaker’s are busy and we just cannot spend great amounts of time on our hair. Lilla Rose makes it easy to create a classy style in just a few minutes. Shop Lilla Rose here.
Photo Gifts from Shutterfly. I love Shutterfly. I’ve used them for printing photos, creating books and all sorts of neat personalized gift options. They’ve added a few new products are just cool too!
View their special offers page here.
DaySpring. You could easily buy a gift for every single homemaker on your list just by shopping at DaySpring. They have so many amazing items and a $50 order gives you free standard shipping!
Homemaker’s Friend Daily Planner. Years ago when Sue first asked me to review her planner I said no. I didn’t like planners and didn’t figure I would like hers.
She responded saying she would like to send me one anyway as she thought I would like it. I agreed to her sending me one, but made no promises. After a week of using her planner I was hooked. I still use the Homemaker’s Friend planner and now my mom does too!

November 13, 2015 at 8:02 pmI just wanted to say thank you for the “Flirty Aprons” site. I’m always looking for new aprons! I’ve made a couple myself, but it’s always nice to have a store-bought one as my sewing needs practice. And the one I looked at was only $35.00. My last apron, I paid $30.00 and it was much plainer, so they aren’t expensive. Thanks!
Kendra says
November 13, 2015 at 8:18 pmOh I love mine! I’m 6 months pregnant in that photo but it still fits me really nice. And it was just as cute when I wasn’t preggers 🙂
Sharon says
November 13, 2015 at 9:19 pmI would love to have the planner!! And the Lilla Rose hair clips 🙂
Kendra says
November 13, 2015 at 9:47 pmYeah 🙂 I’m pretty partial to my Lilla Rose clips too! But seriously, that planner is awesome, definitely snag one if you don’t win. Otherwise, good luck!

November 13, 2015 at 10:13 pmFrom Homemaker’s Depot, I’d like the lunchbox book… or the one about gluten-free cooking, or Gracia’s herbs. And… oh! Lots of goodies there. But I knew that. 😉
On my homemaking wishlist is a manual grain mill, and a food dehydrator. Saving my pennies… 🙂
Kendra says
November 13, 2015 at 10:16 pmOh my goodness! I love my excalibur dehydrator, if you search my site you will find a review I posted after buying mine. As for a grain mill, why the manual? Is it better? I have an electric one that I love, but curious about the manual.
Ilka W. J. says
November 18, 2015 at 10:34 pmOh, I do have an electric one – a WonderMill, and I like it. The manual would be for emergencies and such… so far, we have been blessed when there was a power failure; we got back “on” pretty quickly. But what if not… having a sack full of grains but nothing to mill it with? 😉 Something like that. It’s part of my “what-if” wish list. 🙂
Kendra says
November 19, 2015 at 10:14 amAh… gotcha! We have a manual grinder that was Jason’s Grandpa’s. It’s nice and works in a pinch, I’m spoiled though and like my wonder mill.

November 14, 2015 at 8:48 amThese are some really nice items here. Thanks for the link ups
Amber B says
November 14, 2015 at 11:40 amI love my Lilla Rose clips and my essential oil diffuser!! I need to buy a few more to put in the bedrooms.
Regina Shea says
November 15, 2015 at 12:41 amSuch fun items! I wouldn’t mind having the planner as I have the 2015 and I love using it. The Keeper Series book on Caregiving and Planning would be great.
Kristin says
November 15, 2015 at 8:08 amI love planners. The one thing I would love as a homemaker would be another me. There is just not enough of me to be a full time worker, wife, mom AND homemaker. And my homemaking skills are awful, which is why I need a planner. 😁
Michelle says
November 16, 2015 at 9:09 amI would love to try one of Sue’s planners.
Jane Curtis says
November 16, 2015 at 10:42 amI would love the Gluten Free Cookbook or a planner.
Debbie W. says
November 16, 2015 at 2:40 pmWOW who wouldn’t love to have any one of those items.
Kendra says
November 17, 2015 at 2:49 pmRight?! I couldn’t choose just one if I had too. I use them all on a daily-weekly basis. 🙂
Sarah says
November 17, 2015 at 12:11 pmLove the planner and would love the Gluten Free Cookbook since a few of my friends have a gluten intolerance and I always struggle cooking for them!
Peace, Sarah

November 17, 2015 at 4:20 pmThese are some absolutely fabulous gift ideas!!!
Laura Prater says
November 17, 2015 at 11:02 pmI adore everything listed! Those aprons though! I definitely need one!
Tracey says
November 18, 2015 at 4:49 pmI think those planners are awesome! Everything you have on your list, even though I’m not a SAHM, is awesome. I am a big fan of cooking and baking and think that so many of those would just make it more fun!
Kendra says
November 19, 2015 at 10:07 amYes! Most of these are good for anyone who loves to cook. I obtained many of these while I still worked full time. 🙂
Rachel Anna says
November 19, 2015 at 3:10 pmI really like the planner and the Keeper’s Book of Organization from Homemakers Depot!
Christine says
November 19, 2015 at 9:50 pmSeveral of the items on your list would be great additions to my list (who can choose just one, right) but the top of my list would have to be a selection of essential oils to help keep my family, critters, and home healthy.
Christine says
November 19, 2015 at 9:59 pmAnd from Homemakers Depot, the book Caregivers. I recently lost my mom and was her caregiver for her last days. The experience understandably changed me, in ways I am still discovering. I think this would be both an encouragement and an eye-opener.
Lynne says
November 19, 2015 at 11:06 pmThey have a nice selection of books. I’d really like to read Compassion – Making A Difference
Lynne says
November 19, 2015 at 11:10 pmI’d really like some new Welcome mats for my house. I am also a big fan of throw pillows, so those are on my list every year. From your suggestion list, I would take almost any item from Dayspring!
