You already know your mom is the best, so it's only natural that you want the gifts you buy for her to be the best, too. But gift shopping isn't always easy no matter how well you know someone. If you're unsure of what to get your mom for Mother's Day this year, these clever gift ideas will make her happy. Whether it's a treat for her home, garden, or morning coffee, these sweet yet affordable presents say "I love you" and mean it. Bonus: Many are $50 and under, so you can still get her something thoughtful without breaking the bank. Although, we've highlighted a few investment pieces if you want to go that route. Whether you're looking for personalized jewelry or self-care essentials (hello, shiatsu massager!), these are the best gifts you can get your mom for Mother's Day this year.
You can never go overboard with reminding her that you love her, and this candle can easily do just that. We can confirm the scent—featuring notes of grapefruit piquant, virgin mint, freesia, and more—smells divine. The best part? She can use the high-fired porcelain canister to stash cotton balls, jewelry, or other trinkets long after the candle has burnt out.
Yes, that is real handwriting—write your mom a message (or find one from her in an old birthday card!), snap a pic, and send it to the shop owner to make a custom creation that's sure to get her emotional.
