May 9th is just around the corner which means if you haven’t starting planning what to get the mother figures in your life for Mother’s Day, it might be a good time to start! We previously shared Mother’s Day gift ideas without a budget in mind, but this time we’re keeping it under $50 because times have been tough for a lot of people over the last year. Below you’ll find 8 modern + budget-friendly gift ideas for all the mothers in your life with price tags under $50.
Do Not Disturb Candle by Cancelled Plans \\\ $28
This candle says it all. For some mothers, all they want is some peace and quiet – even just a few minutes of alone time where no one is asking for anything or saying ‘mom’ 100x an hour. When the candle is lit, everyone should expect that “calls and notifications will be silenced until further notice.”
Big Dipper Mineral Bath by Bathing Culture \\\ $30
Another great way to give the mom in your life some alone time is insisting they take a bath with some stress-relieving bath salts. These mineral-rich salts help with muscle stress and will induce relaxation with its combination of epson salts, California Pacific sea salt, Himalayan pink salt, organic cypress, cedar and vetiver oil.
