A lot rides on Mother’s Day. There’s nothing better than a day dedicated to showing your mom how much she means to you, but it’s hard to come up with a singular present that expresses gratitude for everything a mom does. TBH, nothing you buy really can.
The way your mom really wants to be appreciated this Mother’s Day is probably with some quality time. However, you can’t show up to a Mother’s Day brunch empty-handed, right? Or—if you don’t live close to your mom—you have to get her something that can express all the love you have for her from afar.
Flowers are always a great option, and you can never go wrong by gifting your mom a meal or a personalized gift card to her favorite restaurant. But, sometimes it’s nice to go a bit more personal or creative when choosing a gift for mom, grandma, your sister, wife, or any other maternal figure in your life.
If you feel like you’re stuck on what to gift your mom, you’re not alone. Shopping for gifts is hard. Luckily, Women’s Health has gathered 55 of the best Mother’s Day gifts out there. She’ll love it, and you won’t even break the bank—most of these gifts are under $50.
