Mothers of the Year, because we all deserve an award.

Cracked nipples.  Sleep deprivation.  Public tantrums.  Our only reward is our children?  Kidding.  Mostly.

Zero parking? Heinous crowds? Exhausted workers getting paid minimum wage? Ain’t no MOTY got time for that! No thanks, we’ll be living it up in our favorite sweatpants, eating leftovers and perusing the good ol’ internet for gift ideas while our kiddos watch too much TV today. If you’re doing the same this Black Friday, and you happen to have a badass MOTY or two on your shopping list, take a look at our top gift recommendations for the fierce, the compassionate, the exhausted and the brave:

1. Calm Down candle 
​Because every mama needs a little aromatherapy… to help her calm the F down. Plus, a portion of the proceeds goes to Every Mother Counts, a nonprofit that helps women around the world get access to maternity care.

2. YETI® cups
​
This beautiful invention actually keeps your coffee HOT. And because of the lid, you also don’t have to worry about your kids knocking the damn thing over. We’ve all felt the woe of spilled coffee from a bumbling, chaotic child.

3.  Secret weapon socks
We like these because the message works for so many audiences… your child, when she takes for-fucking-ever to tell you a really boring story, strangers who give unsolicited parenting advice, your partner when you disagree… These socks empower you to just nod your head and smile with that vacant look in your eyes.

4. Some kind of #MomLife t-shirt
As mamas, we wear our hearts on our sleeves. We may as well literally wear our motherhood on our sleeves, too. We really like this design because 1. it speaks to our immense ferocity as mothers and 2. it hints at cursing.

5. Noise-canceling headphones
Obviously.

6. Mommy’s Time-Out printable wine labels 
Your special time with your wine should feel like it's just yours and like you deserve it. Make sure everyone knows and understands.

7. Please Leave by 9 party banner
People should also understand that when you do entertain, they need to GTFO at a decent hour. And that "decent hour" means something very specific to you.

8. Tiny Beautiful Things by Cheryl Strayed
If the MOTY in your life hasn't read this yet, she needs it... even if she doesn't know it. We all need the "radical empathy" of Cheryl Strayed and her Dear Sugar column.

9. Hand-held head massager
For five bucks, you can get an instant orgasm without having to endure the tiresome foreplay.

10. Didn’t Lose My Shit keychain
Not losing your shit when you’re a mother is hard. Sometimes insurmountable. If you didn’t lose your shit, mama, you deserve a medal. We all do.

Disclaimer: None of these recommendations represent Black Friday deals. Splurge on the MOTY in your life. She freaking deserves it.
