Narrowing the choices
Before buying just any items from the list below, it’s important to consider what your Mother likes or needs.
Does she have any hobbies such as arts and crafts or baking?
Is she an avid runner or swimmer?
Does she love fashion and jewelry?
It’s also clever to pay attention to what she is saying. Has she mentioned needing something? If you don’t live with her anymore, you can ask the people she spends the most time with for general ideas.
Take a moment to identify a few categories for the best Mother’s Day gift ideas for your own Mom.
Best Mother’s Day gift ideas
Gifts under $25
For the Beauty and Self Care queen
- Under Eye Mask. Women of any age will appreciate this gift. Even if they still have beautiful youthful skin, this mask can remove the overnight puffiness and brighten the eyes.
- Dr Teal’s bubble bath. I adore this bubble bath. They have tons of different scents to fit your mood. As a bonus, did you know bubble bath keeps your bathtub cleaner?
- Maybelline Lash Sensational Mascara. I love this mascara, it will make anyone’s lashes extra long without clumping.
- Dermaplaning tools. Every woman wants a soft baby face and these dermaplaning tools work fabulously. I’ve used them for months and they are the best ones I’ve tried on Amazon.
- Dry brush kit. Dry brushing is known for many benefits such as exfoliating the skin and improving circulation. I have used this kit for quite a while and love it.
For the cook or foodie
- Sourdough razor kit. If your mom has recently picked up the bread-making hobby, she might enjoy these slashing tools needed to score the dough before baking.
- Sourdough proofing basket. If you noticed she’s using a regular bowl, she would probably love a proper proofing basket like this one. If she has a round one, she might enjoy one for different shapes of bread like this one.
- Lemon juicer. This makes my life so much easier in the kitchen. No more seeds in my salad dressing or marinade.
- Pot strainer. No more bulky strainers that are difficult to store. This small adapter attaches to your pot and works wonders.
- Microwave popcorn popper. Enjoy microwave popcorn without the nasty chemicals added to bagged microwave popcorn. This is game-changing if your mom loves popcorn.
For the health and fitness lover
- Cork yoga blocks. These are much firmer than traditional foam yoga blocks and will transform her yoga practice.
- Yoga or Pilates knee pads. If she complains of knee pain when doing kneeling exercises, these are a great option!

For the cook or foodie
