I know how hard it is to come up with ideas for mom when you feel like she could buy what she wants for herself, and you don’t have tons of money to spare. But moms need to feel loved (I know b/c I am one) and even the smallest of efforts will go a long way. Here are 15 unique ideas for something you can get your mom even on a small budget (the more expensive things you can split with a sibling or help dad out by giving him a nudge in the right direction).

Also, since I am a mom…I can vouch for being very happy to receive any of these gifts for Mother’s Day.

Good luck spoiling your mom this Mother’s Day!

Candy Argyle Designs Has the cutest hairclips, scrunchies, hot pads, masks ever. ANND she is a local creative mom who I absolutely love supporting.

Here are some more fun ideas…

Farrington Earrings Super cute custom made earrings and she is offering a “Mom and Me” but one get the second pair half off. They can be the same design or totally different. So many options. You can find her account on Instagram or her earrings are also sold at The LoveJoy Workshop and Maple Boutique in Bethany Village.

Maxi Dress from Amazon! I got this in two different colors b/c I love it so much. The green one is my favorite.

Nails PDX Love this lady and her unique nail designs buy mom a gift card or take her out for a pedicure.

Ankle Sandals This might seem random, but I LOVE these sandals and they are super inexpensive, flattering, surprisingly comfortable and I get compliments every time I wear them. Go find mom’s shoe size and surprise her with these cute, comfy sandals.

Urban Decay Anti-Aging Eye Makeup Primer No need to mention the fact that mom is aging or anything, but this primer is the best. I can’t testify to its anti-aging properties but I CAN vouch for the fact that my shadow stays on about one million times longer. Highly recommend almost anything from Urban Decay that link is from Amazon, but you can get Urban Decay at Ulta or Sephora as well.

A nice, thoughtful card. There is literally nothing I love more than when my kids take 5 minutes to tell me they love me and why. Words of Affirmation are my love language, but I’d say 100% of moms love to receive a thoughtful card from their teens.
