Ugg slippers have been super popular the last few years and although they may be a great gift for your mom for Mother’s Day, they are super pricey. If you are looking for something a little more affordable, these graphic sippers are really cute and there are so many options to choose from.

My personal favourites are the evil eye designs. I actually received these as a Christmas gift and I haven’t taken them off since. If you click the link below, you will see all the cute designs you can choose to match your mom’s personality.

Technically, this isn’t solely a fan for skin care. It is a portable, chargeable fan that your mom can carry in her purse to take anywhere with her. This is great for those moms who are always hot and fanning themselves with anything they could find.

This fan has been trending on amazon lately because it works so well when doing your skin care. In between serums and moisturizers, the products need to dry, so this just speeds up the process a little and feels amazing in the meantime. So if your mom is into skin care, this could be a great Mother’sDay gift idea for her. And it comes in different colours!

If your mom is a coffee or tea lover, why not buy her this pretty ceramic set just for her. This set comes with the cup, saucer (that looks like a cloud) and a cute mixing spoon.

After seeing this set all over my Pinterest, I caved and bought it for myself. I love that I have my own personal coffee set that only I drink out of. And I just love how girly and aesthetic it looks!

This set comes in white mother of pearl and pink.

I am a huge fan of Little Words Project. If you have not heard of this brand, I suggest taking a look at their website. They started off as a small brand selling beaded jewelry and they have really taken off with their products now being sold at Target.

If you are looking for something small and meaningful to gift your mom for Mother’s Day, you cannot go wrong with these thoughtful bracelets. In fact, they are so pretty, you will probably want to pick one up for yourself too.

If your mom is a reader, this would be a great gift to add to her collection. But how do you know what book to get her? Easy! If she’s an avid reader, she’s sure to have a Goodreads account. Go make yourself an account, if you don’t have one already and take a look at the books on her tar list.

Amazon always has the best prices on books so you can also purchase an accessory for her books like a book mark or a night light.

If your mom loves to read, there are tons of bookish gifts to get her, like this book sleeve linked below.

Since we’re on the topic of books, if your mom owns an Amazon Kindle, a great Mother’s Day Gift Idea would be a kindle unlimited subscription.

Kindle unlimited is a great subscription for someone who likes to read several books a month. For only $9.99 a month, you have access to thousands of book from all genres. You don’t have to commit to a whole year. You can purchase 3 months or 6 months, depending on your budget and Kindle is constantly having sales on Amazon.

Any book lover would love and appreciate a gift like this.

This alarm clock has a gentle way of waking you up. Its sunrise affects light up your bedroom so nicely in the morning, in any colour you like.

The best part of this Alarm clock is the sound machine. It has 26 high fidelity natural sounds that help you relax at night or mask disruptive environmental noises so you can sleep better.

This is a great Mother’s Day gift idea for someone who may have trouble sleeping at night or hates their noisy alarm clock because it is too abrupt.

If your mom is a beauty or skin care enthusiast, then she would definitely appreciate something to organize her makeup vanity.

This acrylic organizer sits on your vanity and holds so many products. You can customize it so it holds really tall or short bottles. The best part is the carousel. It’s super convenient to spin it around and search for that specific product you are looking for.

This is usually something you don’t really purchase for yourself but something you would like to receive as a gift. This 5 minute journal is something great to incorporate into your daily routine. Every day you write a few things that you are grateful for and it’s suppose to change the way you live your life.

This would be a thoughtful and inexpensive gift for mom. Plus, it’s such a pretty and aesthetic looking book that comes in a bunch of different colours.

If your mom works from home or uses her laptop often, this laptop stand is a game changer.

When using your laptop on a regular basis, it can be very straining on your back and neck. This stand elevates your electronic device so it is eye level and it makes working so much easier.

I love that it comes in different colours so it can match your mom’s laptop. She will definitely be thanking you if she has been complaining of a sore neck due to working on her computer for too many hours.

This is a great and inexpensive gift that any mom is sure to love. Who doesn’t love to pamper themselves? These 3 products feel so luxurious and are super affordable. Easily found at Target or Ulta, this would be great to make your mom a nice basket.

Tree Hut scrubs are so well known and for good reason. Their products are amazing! And they don’t make just scrubs anymore. Their body butter and shaving oils are incredible!

Choose the scent you think your mom would like and grab these 3 products. You can’t go wrong!

There are 2 types of mom. The ones who are always hot and the ones who are always cold. If your mom is someone who is always complaining about how cold she is, look no further, this is the gift for her.

This heated blanket plugs in and within a couple of minutes is warm. Super comfy for when your mom is watching tv or reading on the couch. This blanket has 3 heating levels, a 4 hour timer and is machine washable.

If your mom is a cold coffee drinker rather than a hot coffee lover, why not get her an iced coffee glass just for her. But instead of regular glasses, personalize it with something cute!

This iced coffee glass says COOL MOM CLUB which is super cute but there are different ones to choose from. Your mom will love taking this on her errand runs.

This is such a great mom gift because every mom is so busy and always on the go. This belt bag from Lululemon could not be more convenient. It holds all your essentials and it’s super easy to either clip around you waist or though your shoulders.

This belt bag comes in so many colours and fabrics so you can choose the one you think fits your mom’s style.

These days fragrances can be so expensive it’s hard to afford one for yourself let alone buying one for someone else. Luckily the brand Sol De Janeiro sells amazing body sprays that have great staying power.

Sol de Janeiro has now released so many new scents that you are bound to find a fragrance to match your mom’s taste. Sold at Sephora and Ulta Beauty, these body sprays are super convenient to purchase.

17. Silk Pillow Cases

Not only are silk pillow cases so pretty because they come in so many different colours but they are proven to be great for your hair and face.

Ever notice that after you style your hair before you go to bed, you wake up in the morning with your hair frizzy and indented as if you never took the time to style it the night before? That’s probably because of your pillowcase.

Switching out your regular pillowcases for silk ones is such an affordable way to fix this problem. This is such a great Mother’s Day gift idea for your mom that she’s sure to love and appreciate.

This is a wonderful gift for any woman. There are so many hair tools out there but they cost an arm and a leg. This Revlon hair tool is so reasonably priced compared to other hair dryers out there and it works great!

This is a one step blow dryer that cuts your drying time in half and gives you a great blow out. Your mom is sure to love this great product for Mother’s Day!

Is your mom into fitness? If so, what better gift than these wrist and ankle weights. These are great for moms who love yoga, pilates or just want to up their walking game.

These come in so many cute colours and they are adjustable from 1-4 pounds. You can also pair this gift with a matching yoga matte and that would be the perfect gift for a mom who’s into fitness.

Pandora jewelry is so pretty and popular. What’s great about this brand is that there is something for everyone and also a price point for everyone. There are pieces that are very expensive but also a lot of items that are very affordable.

Pandora always has a great collection for every holiday and event and Mother’s Day is no different. If your mom has a pandora bracelet, she will live this charm. There are also rings and bracelets you can search that are a little more expensive depending on your budget.

If your mom likes to sit by the pool or tend to the garden, this may be a great gift for her. This is a great speaker because of its long battery life and the fact that it is so small. You could carry it around with you and listen to your favourite music, podcast or audio book without wearing headphones.

This Speaker is also waterproof so it’s great to take to the beach or the pool and you can easily carry it in your purse. It’s also so cute in pink!
