My Best 9 Affordable Gifts for Mother’s Day

Mother’s day will be here before you know it! I’m getting all my ideas ready for my kids because they always want a list from me. I want to share them with you, too! Below you will find the best 9 affordable gifts for Mother’s Day!

Last year, I shared a list of books for Mother’s Day. Books are part of my love language so I believe they never go out of style. You can see the list in my post Mother’s Day Gifts – Books For The Reader and see for yourself.

Affiliate links are used in this post. Read my full disclosure here.

“Life doesn’t come with a manual, it comes with a mother.” – Unknown

1.) Garden Caddy & Tool Set

Isn’t this the cutest garden tool set with caddy?

I love the fact that the caddy is open, makes it perfect for gathering cut flowers, fruits or veggies. All the excess dirt will fall right through the basket.

How awesome is that?

The garden tools are stylish and the mister the prettiest color. With the popularity and trend for indoor plants, a mister is a must have!

Who says garden tools can’t be pretty?

In my opinion, this set is perfection!

2.) Garden Shoes

While we are on the topic of gardening, how about these fun garden shoes? I’ve always wanted a pair, especially for those rainy days or dewey mornings. These are ideal and what’s better? They can be hosed off easily.

I love the color too, because it won’t show all the dirt!

3.) Monogram Tote

How cute is this canvas tote?

Monogram everything is a fashion must-have these days and I definitely need one of these bags!

It’s perfect for the office, all your daily errands and travel.

How appropriate that this one already has a “K” on it!

4. & 5.) For The Reader

Next, I have a book that I just read on vacation. It’s not a new release but it’s the perfect summer read. If you have a mother like me, who loves to read, this is a must! It’s called Summer of ’69 by Elin Hildebrand.

I guarantee she will have it read in no time and will thank you after!

Almost every night before bed I read. This rechargeable book light is lightweight and the a great accessory for the reader.

These two things paired together make a great Mother’s Day gift.

6.) Paint By Number

Growing up, paint by number was super popular. It was a treat to buy one and complete it. I definitely thought I was a regular Picasso!

Did you ever have the pleasure of doing one?

I love shopping vintage and these days so many vintage stores carry paint by number art work…or at least pieces that look like paint by number. For over a year, I’ve wanted to once again do a paint by number.

This paint by number is currently in my cart! Isn’t she pretty?

Anyway, it’s a fun craft, super relaxing and anybody can do it!

“Her children arise and call her blessed, her husband also, and he praises her.” – Proverbs 31:28

7.) Fitbit Versa 2 Smartwatch 

Do you workout and track your activity or just wish you had all that and more at your finger tips? If you or the mom in your life doesn’t have a smartwatch, this is the ideal time to get one! They’ve come down in price and it makes for an afforadable gift.

It doesn’t have to be the most expensive one either. This Fitbit Versa 2 Smartwatch model is ideal for tracking all the things and it’s pink!

You know I love that color!

8.) Mom On The Go Kit

How many times have you had to run out but didn’t want to do your full make-up routine?

I know you can’t see me, but I am raising my hand.

I found the best Mom On The Go Kit! It’s the perfect solution to help busy moms look and feel their best.

It also comes with this pretty palm beauty bag to carry your cosmetics!

An option that will make any mom feel special and pampered.

9.) Kitchen Aid Mixer Decals

I always wanted a Kitchen Aid Mixer and a few years ago Big Al (aka Mr. Mitten) bought me one.

Not just any one, a bright orange one! And you know what was even better? He bought the prettiest decals for it.

It is my absolutely favorite kitchen item.

I actually had a few decals left over and used them when I showed you How To Make A Decorative Birdhouse.

These Kitchen Aid Mixer decals are affordable and make the mixer look so amazing! If you have to cook, why not do it with pretty appliances?

Trust me…this would be such a fun and festive Mother’s Day gift!

There you have it! My 9 affordable Mother’s Day gifts.

Some I have and some are on my list!

However you celebrate the mom’s in your life,+ or celebrate your own Mother’s Day, I hope it’s amazing!

I would so appreciate your prayers today for a positive MRI report. 

If you’ve walked a similar road or you are a medical momma, I know you know these days can be difficult. 

If you woke up facing something similar, a difficult day or an unpredictable road, I want to remind you that God sees you and you are very loved!
