Mother’s Day Gift Ideas Under $50: Best Presents For Every Type Of Mom

Want to show mom just how much she means to you, but stumped for a gift? We’ve got you covered. Each of these ideas is tailor made for your mom’s interests, so she’ll be sure to feel extra-special when she unwraps it Sunday.

For the subscription-addicted mom: The gift that keeps on giving doesn’t have to break the bank. There are limitless boxes to choose from for almost every hobby imaginable. If mom is big on beauty, Birchbox only costs $10 per month. Sign her up for five months of the box and she’ll receive five beauty products per month. Other unique boxes include Candy Club, which includes up to three pounds of premium candy and Try the World, a tasting box for adventurous eaters.

For the movie-loving mom: Give her a subscription to HBGO Go, Netflix, Amazon Prime or Hulu Plus. Set mom up with an account on one of these sites, preferably the one that includes her favorite shows. She’ll be able to watch all the re-runs her heart desires with the added bonus of having it set up for her.

For the mom who always says she doesn’t want anything: Or for the mom who has everything, getting crafty is ideal. Give her a framed poem or quote from one of her favorite authors or your favorite words about having her as your mom, write it out in your best handwriting and frame it. You can also put together some of your favorite photos and memories in a Mother’s Day scrapbook.

For the homebody mom: You can’t beat a cozy pair of slippers. Nordstrom and Kohl's have some of the comfiest footwear options.

For the caffeine addicted mom: For a personalized mug she’ll be able to use every morning, all you need is a clean white mug, a Sharpie and a working oven. Pinterest has tons of “Sharpie Mug Bake” ideas and the details on how to create one. For an added bonus, complete it with a batch of her favorite local or artisanal coffee.

For the literary mom: Buy her a copy of her favorite book in an exclusive edition, like those available in Barnes & Noble’s collector’s edition classics. Even better, buy her a book she’s been wanting to read and snag a copy for yourself so you’ll be able to read it together in your own mini-book club.

For the mom who just wants to relax on Mother’s Day. Set her up with breakfast in bed, complete with all her favorite foods. Top it off with a mimosa for mom if she has no plans for the rest of the day.

For the mom who is always documenting everything: Give her a personalized photobook. Websites like Shutterfly and Snapfish have easy to design custom templates for photo books, or you can swing by a local Walgreens to put one together yourself.
