Dh is gifting me $100 to spend on something to make my life easier.
I already am ordering new pots, have an instant pot, a vacuum, an extra freezer, and cleaning help lol. Don't need baby stuff now.
Any ideas?

A robot vacuum.
A back massager or foot massager -a relaxed mom is a mom whose life is easier, lol.
Any kitchen appliances that could help you? A mixer, food processor, electric veggie chopper, good set of knives / or peelers.

Can you tell us a little bit more about your lifestyle, what you spend most of your time doing, what is most stressful to you, etc.?
The answer to a mom of grown kids who works 60 hours a week at a job she loves will be different than the answer to a newlywed who has never kept house before, or to a pregnant mom with 6 kids under age 8 who runs a playgroup in her tiny apartment...

My wishlist (mom of young kids - baby)
- a new warmuffs or footmuff for the stroller
- travel mug coffee with littles is really hard so it’s on the go … along with new pjs / undergarments make my mornings nicer
- new jacket I’d splurge 100 in addition to
- new diaper bag
- car vacuum
Tons more but I can’t think check out the Black Friday deals

Either grocery delivery subscription or hampers with separate bags so you can sort the laundry as it comes off.
Takeout meals that you can freeze for when you want them.

Such a good idea. I did a couple months free trial and really enjoyed it. I decided in the end not to pay to continue (I don't have many local stores on it) but if it were a gift I would definitely enjoy.
If you are a Costco member it's extra amazing because going to that store in person is a huge time killer and shlep, even if you don't also get tempted to spend twice as much on things you didn't know they had. The price difference between store and insta is not huge at Costco, and you can buy $100 instacart gift cards for $80 which more than offsets the difference. Before my trial expired I went all out and stocked up on clunky things like cases of water, baby wipes, and tissues that came to my door while I peacefully made supper at home.

I don’t know about making your life easier, but a plush bathrobe that you look forward to putting on every time you get out of the shower is priceless.

If you have Costco, you get Instacart automatically. The only store I would use it for is Bingo and the only reason I shop there is for in store low price. Would be nice though if more stores took it.

Can you explain this to me? My understanding is it's only worth it if you have a big house. We bought one a few years ago and it was useless around the dr chairs, so returned. Once I have to move the chairs, it's just about as easy to sweep. I don't have a lot of dirt anywhere else.

There are tons of stores in it. Aldi is, and they’re my favorite
