Gift Ideas for Homeschool Moms (and her awesome kids)

November 13, 2024 · In: For Moms

Some links on this page are affiliate links which means that, if you choose to make a purchase, I may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. I greatly appreciate your support!

This post is all about gift ideas for homeschool moms that I use and love!

Keeping it simple, I pulled together ten of my favorite things from this past year. Just call me Oprah! Just kidding, but instead of making different categories, I just made a quick list of some of our most used items (and some fun ones too!).

Alternatively, I’ll list out some collections not pictured in case my top ten are not your jam. We all like options, right? Some of these may be affiliate links, and everytime, THANK YOU for using them. Not only do we use and love these products, but they are sometimes generous to offer discount codes to our community as well!

Are you close to wrapping up your Christmas shopping? I am nearly there with many of these items listed below fulfilling my list of loved ones. I hope you are blessed by some of these ideas!

This post is all about gift ideas for homeschool moms that I LOVE.

Gift Ideas for Homeschool Moms #1 – 5

gift ideas for homeschool moms

  1. Candles: The heart behind Chapter and Wick resonates with me. They want to enhance reading moments with scents that enrichen your atmosphere. Each candle is handmade, and get this, they have a Homeschool Christmas Collection with titles like Advent Lessons and Winter Craft & Create. So cute! Use code “JUICEBOX10” for a 10% discount!
  2. Pretty Polish and Sets: Their gift shop is now open at Olive and June, and it includes the cutest packaging and sets for many price points. I love any of their Quick Dry or Long Lasting polishes because mom life can get messy real fast. My code “TRISHAV20” will give you 20% off for first time orders. Last year, I purchased this for all my kids activity teachers, and it was so fun selecting pretty colors!
  3. Personalized Notecards or Journals: This is my first school year using paper products from Plum Paper, and I have been able to sample a few of their gift items. I customized some notecards and a journal for gifts recently, and really, nothing is more thoughtful than a personalized gift! Plum Paper does a beautiful job. Stack my code “TRISHA10” on any of their sales for an extra 10% off.
  4. Comfy Walking Shoes: Personally, I can attest that these shoes keep your feet comfy. My test was a full day at an amusement park while waiting in line and walking over 10,000 steps. Since then, I have worn this pair on long walks with friends and to work out. I would purchase this pair again, and if you can give yourself a gift, these are so worth it.
  5. Cute Drinkware and Sweatshirts: The prettiest drinkware around, it is hard for me to not add to cart at each launch. I have a hot beverage and cold beverage cup and now a hoodie and a tee. All are so well designed, thoughtful, and I love supporting small businesses (and a fellow homeschool mom)! Allison gave me the code “juicebox” which should give you 10% off your purchases.

Gift Ideas for Homeschool Moms # 6 – 10

gift ideas for homeschool moms

  1. Habits Shape the Heart: I am thrilled to share that I worked with Bonfire to design that can be a tee, crewneck, or hoodie. The reason it is so special to me is because teaching character and habits was a big reason behind continuing to homeschool for over a decade. Now, we can wear our heart on our sleeve (quite literally!) and inspire our little learners – because the habits we cultivate today shape the adults we become tomorrow. I hope you enjoy these, and know you are supporting the work here at Juice Box Homeschool.
  2. Book Club for Kids: One of my favorite brands for habit training is The Generous Family. They have an adorable picture book club for kids that includes an online portal for additional activities along with a physical package of goodies. My ultimate favorite product they create is a homeschool curriculum all about teaching generosity. Not only is it impactful, Biblical, and easy to use, but they include moving videos, missionary stories, and real life activities to put into practice. Use my code “juicebox” for 15% off your order.
  3. For Your Planner Friend: They will absolutely love the 2025 Home Planner if they are anything like me! So efficient and practical. To me, this is the gift that keeps on giving! It helps me get a lot accomplished at home and work, and I forgot to mention that it is beautifully designed. While you’re there, the Passionate Penny Pincher also offers pretty recipe boxes for slow cooking (my favorite!), whole foods, and a variety of other excellent categories.
  4. An Encouraging Read: On all my social sites, I share a lot of favorite books, but today, I am sharing a recent read that had resonated with me longer than usual. Jamie Erikson wrote this encouraging, equipping, and easy to read title that I think you’ll enjoy.
  5. A Safe First Phone: Is it that time? I recall when we arrived in the season of our oldest needing some way to communicate with us when we were not with her. After researching a lot of different options, we landed with Gabb. It included zero social media, addicting gaming apps, and was truly a distraction-free phone. My son has been using the Gabb Watch now, and it helps our family in the same way. We receive the necessary communication with the screen addiction. My code “JUICEBOX” will provide a perk, discount, or both (it is always changing)!

If you want books that quietly shape character, st If you want books that quietly shape character, start here...

Some of the books that have added a lot to our homeschool most deeply are the true stories. 🤍

There is something so powerful about placing real lives in front of our kids. Stories of courage, conviction, sacrifice, faith, and ordinary people choosing obedience in hard moments stay with them in such a different way.

Some longtime favorites:
📚 Portraits of Integrity: A Family Treasury, real people who demonstrated Godly character
📚 YWAM biographies, which have made such meaningful family read-alouds over the years, and wonderful independent reads for middle schoolers.

These kinds of books have sparked some of our best conversations about character and what it looks like to live with purpose.

If you love biography-rich homeschooling too, comment “books” and I’ll send over some of our family favorites.

Some things I’m not planning to repeat with my you Some things I’m not planning to repeat with my younger kids (sorry, first kid! 😉)...

Not that the first time was a big fail, but walking through the high school years has a way of shaping you.

There are things I see a little clearer.
There are things I want to hold with more gentleness.
There are things I don’t want to rush past.

Homeschooling in different seasons has reminded me that we’re growing right alongside our kids. These are just a few quiet shifts I’m making as I go.

If you’re in a similar season, I’d love to hear. What is something you’re doing differently now?

It’s one of those pieces that’s both practical and pretty... everything within reach, easy to rotate, and somehow makes reading feel even more inviting.

Ours is the gold 5-tier, but they have other colors and sizes depending on your space!

The kind of stories that squash our own bickering, bring everyone on the same page, and gently shape how our kids see family, unity, and what really matters.

These are a few of our favorite family-centered living books we’ve come back to over the years. Those special stories that I will want to keep my shelf long after they are grown!

The quiet homeschool days rarely make the highligh The quiet homeschool days rarely make the highlight reel, but they tend to be the ones that shape the most. 🤍

Homeschooling is rarely flashy.
Mostly it’s small, ordinary moments that slowly add up over time.

If you ever feel like your days look too simple, save this as a reminder that simple is often exactly where the building happens.

History in our homeschool has become one of the si History in our homeschool has become one of the simplest parts of our day.

There are so many good ways to study history, but for us, history has slowly grown into something that feels a little more like gathering.

🙌🏼 We read stories together.
🙌🏼 The kids keep simple narration journals.
🙌🏼 We talk about what stood out and what felt difficult.
🙌🏼 Sometimes we watch a short video to add another perspective.

It is not fancy. 

One of my favorite parts is hearing what resonates or surprises my kids. Their thoughts often lead us into the best informal conversations.

If you are homeschooling multiple ages, doing history family style has also helped simplify our rhythm.

This is just a small peek into how history looks in our home right now with my 5th and 8th graders. My oldest is currently taking a government course at a community college online.

I would love to hear from you. How does history work in your homeschool these days?

And if this gave you an idea to try, feel free to save it for later.

If you’ve ever ended the day feeling behind… this If you’ve ever ended the day feeling behind… this is for you.

Education is life.

Not a checklist.
Not a race.
Not something to “get done.”

For a long time, I thought a good homeschool day meant we finished everything in the planner.

But over the years, and especially now in the teen years, I’m seeing the effects of the faithful day-to-day.

Education is happening...
in the mealtime conversations.
in the living books that stir empathy.
in the habit of finishing what we start.
in learning to apologize, to serve quietly, and to try again.

You probably heard that Charlotte Mason stated that education is life. Believe or not, but formation is happening even on the days that feel messy and unproductive.

It’s not only about what our kids know, but about who they are becoming. That kind of education doesn’t always fit neatly in your homeschool planner spread.

What “counted” as education in your home this week?

At the start of the year, I shared in IG stories t At the start of the year, I shared in IG stories that we revisited our homeschool boundaries. So many great questions came in surrounding this topic! They exist to make the most of our time and to build and practice healthy habits for the long run.

Homeschool burdens did become lighter when I decided what we needed, and let the rest go. 🤍 These are a few boundaries that helped when my kids were younger, and some that are guiding our days right now. They are flexible as each season, child, moment organically requires.

What boundaries have served your homeschool days well lately? Or what would you like to try to implement?

These are the Bible studies working well for us in These are the Bible studies working well for us in this season of homeschooling an elementary, middle schooler, and high schooler.

My personal study: Christ in All of Scripture
This study is designed for one-year, but hey, it’s going to be a two-year study for me (seasonally pausing to pick up other studies with my church)! I love the style and length because it is clear, beautiful, and helps me stay consistent, even on busy weeks.

For different levels of readers: Faithfulness Series
My kids are using the Increase Faithfulness series for individual study. If you have children of different reading and comprehension levels, this one offers 3 different levels on the same topics. You can learn the same truths together!

For family-style around the table: Proverbs
I appreciate this open-and-go shot of wisdom for us all. It includes short commentary plus discussion questions for easy conversations during morning meetings.

If you’re wanting something that supports both your personal study and family discipleship, these have been such a sweet fit in this season.

Comment “Bible” and I’ll send you the blog post with all of these linked.

Charlotte Mason’s Principle 7 reminds me that disc Charlotte Mason’s Principle 7 reminds me that discipline doesn’t have to feel heavy or harsh. It’s steady and formative. It grows and shapes over time, and that discipline can be so delightfully rewarding.

If you’re in a season where consistency feels hard, this is your reminder to keep going, with graciousness toward yourself and others.

Save this for the days you need the reminder.

In our season, we are working on the habit of orderliness. Which habit are you nurturing right now?

Trying @hellosimplypiano as a treat after her regular lesson practice has been sparking some interest. The app turns music into something fun, doable, and confidence-building, and she actually looks forward to it. 

If you want to try it with your own kids, you can comment “piano” and I’ll send you a special offer for the Family Plan subscription (up to 5 users!) for homeschool families, which includes benefits like 4 apps for the cost of one! 

Hope this helps make learning piano a little happier in your home too. 🎶

Teaching kids about money does not have to feel ov Teaching kids about money does not have to feel overwhelming. Little relatable examples and small habits add up over time. #ad

We have been using Teach a Kid to Save by Stephen Day to guide family conversations. The book walks through chores, earnings, and real-life purchases, which feels timely now that my kids are in a stage where they get to practice this often.

What I love most is how simple and doable it feels.
A mini economy, meaningful choices, and daily practice all happening while financial wisdom grows slow and steady.
