Holiday Gift Guide: Gifts for the Single Mom (Still in Quar)

Hi, Olivia here! Every year I curate a special gift guide for Ramshackle Glam and when Jordan and I were brainstorming this year’s topic, I knew exactly what I wanted to do. (Here’s last year’s guide for the work at home mom.)

Know what’s more fun than living through a pandemic? Also going through a divorce during said pandemic! And by fun, I mean, it’s not fun at all and is emotionally draining to the core of your soul. Happy Holidays!

If you have a friend or sister in your life doing the parenting thing on her own, it’s high time to pamper the hell out of her – from a safe distance, of course. Below are my picks for the perfect little gifts for the divorced mama in your life.

Spoiler alert: most of these gifts are ideal for any woman, but I can tell you as someone on the receiving end of some of these gifts, it means the world when a friend sends a special holiday gift, because Santa doesn’t leave presents under the tree for single moms. Be your own Santa this year and gift yourself or a friend with something cozy, a little glam, and a lot of love.

Cheese Platter

Two words: cheese platter. Woman-owned Harbor Cheese and Provisions is a New York based cheese shop that ships gorgeous and delicious cheese platters nationwide. They also offer private Zoom cheeseboard building classes so you can have a girls night coast to coast! Treat your best mom friend with a night in and lots of fancy cheese.

momAgenda Planners

Real talk: can a day planner be sexy? We’re going to go with YES when it comes to the momAgenda planners. Created by a mom of 4, these planners feature enough space for up to 4 kids AND A MOM. That’s right: go ahead and schedule your OWN stuff in these babies.

onecklace Vertical Double Bar Necklace

If you’re looking for a thoughtful and personalized piece of jewelry, I’m a huge fan of onecklace, which has literally hundreds and hundreds of designs and styles to personalize. I love these bar necklaces and had one made with each of my boys’ names on it.

The Big Activity Book for Divorced People

If you’re going to gift a divorced mom with one present this year, it’s this one. The Big Activity Book for Divorced People is available for pre-order (coming in June), so I suggest pre-ordering the book and sending some wine too!

5/12

Bobeau Clothing

My daily uniform is jeggings and a t-shirt, so I fell in LOVE with the Bobeau tops, as they add a little pizzaz to my normal WAHM wardrobe. They’re the perfect staple for the work on top, pajama pant on the bottom Zoom look. I have the one pictured and it’s ideal for all seasons and is cut to make you feel like you actually have a body.

6/12

Verloop Slippers

Ever since I tried the Verloop slippers for the RG gift guide 3 years ago, I’ve been OBSESSED. I have about 5 pairs around the house at all times. Love these (very Jordan) furry slippers!

7/12

SKINEEZ Capri Leggings

I live in leggings. Like, legit. So, I’m a huge fan of these SKINEEZ leggings because they have miracle compression, which not only have a slimming effect, but they also deliver skin-healthy, hydrating and anti-aging ingredients in the fabric of the leggings!

8/12

Don't Mess with Mama Sweatshirt

When my divorced was finalized, by dear friend Lisa sent me a little money to buy myself something special, and I bought this Bee and the Fox sweatshirt. It’s the perfect cut, feel, and vibe. I love everything they sell, but when I wear this one, people stop and ask me where I got it from.

9/12

Felina Leggings

Yes, another pair of leggings. Sue me. However, these Felina Leggings are legit butter soft and so comfy while also keeping everything in place and are not see-through!

10/12

Figleaves Robe

I was not a robe person until this robe came along and changed my life. This Fig Leaves robe is GORGEOUS and also super soft and comfy.

11/12

Marco Polo Plus

I’m not kidding when I say the only way I’ve gotten through the last year (and more) was by connecting with my friends on Marco Polo. I wake up with my friends, chat all day, and know they’re there when I need them. Gift your mom bff with a Marco Polo Plus account so you can stay connected always.

12/12

Intuition Coaching

If you truly don’t know what to get your friend/sister/woman in your life this year – or if you have a friend who doesn’t want STUFF, gift her with something even more special: a coaching session with an intuition coach (especially if she’s been through a divorce). Intuitive coach Meg O’Neill helps women achieve clarity and learn to show up for themselves. I currently work with her and in just one session I felt my entire energy shift. As she says, “I’ll be here to hold your trauma as we heal together.” Now, that’s a GIFT if you ask me!
