Score some brownie points by getting your mom the perfect Mother’s Day Present! May 12 is coming up fast, and my mom and I have teamed up to create a wonderful gift guide for Mother’s Day. No matter whether she’s a “regular mom” or a “cool mom, “ you’ll be able to find a great gift under $75.

Both my mom and I have a pull chain bracelet from Alex and Ani, and we never take them off! I love that there are so many beautiful charms that fit every personality. The sand dollar charm is perfect if you and your mom love spending time together at the beach. I could give you other charm ideas, but I think you’ll be able to find one that is perfect for your mom.

2. William Sonoma Silpat Silicone Baking Mat

Does your mom love to bake? The baking mat replaces the need to grease a cookie sheet. It’s from France, so y’all should probably make macaroons together.

Rifle Paper Co. Corksicle Canteen

Rifle Paper Co. Pink Corkcicle Canteen. Holds 16 ounces of fluid. Light pink with blue, green, ocher, and darker pink flower motifs.

I know a lot of moms who need coffee to function. So, help her get caffeinated with a charming canteen.

4. William Sonoma Nordic Wear Blossom Bundt Cake Pan

My mom loves flowers and she makes amazing bundt cakes, so this is the best of both worlds. After some arm twisting, and promising to do some extra chores, my mom is going to share her pound cake recipe in a blog post!

5. Proven Winners Limelight Hydrangea

Light lime green umbrella shaped blooms surrounded by dark green leaves. Comes in a white proven winners stamped bucket.

Instead of giving your mom a bouquet of flowers that isn’t going to last very long, give her one of these classic hydrangeas. My favorite flowers are hydrangeas, and this particular color reminds me of the day my mom and I spent on Magdalen College’s campus in Oxford, England.

6. Proven Winners Let’s Dance Hydrangea

Blue, Indigo, and Purple blooms with dark green leaves. Comes in a white Proven Winner's Stamped bucket.

These bright blue hydrangeas are another favorite of mine; they really remind me of New England during the summer. We have had these in our back yard as long as I can remember. 

7. Lilly Pulitzer Reusable Market Shopper Tote

Tote from Lilly Pulitzer in Lion Around with a pink handle and gold hardware.

Whether your mom makes a run to the grocery store, a trip to the farmer’s market, or spends a day at the pool, she can go green with this adorable reusable tote!

8. Lilly Pulitzer Strap Keychain

My mom loses her keys all the time, and this would be a great gift. It’s all about the small details.

9. Anthropologie Jay McClellan Studio Bone Appetit Mug

Mint green mug with pink handle depicting a dog, and bright florals.

These adorable mugs have dogs and bold designs making them the perfect gift for a mom who loves dogs. There’s also plates, platters, and kitchen towels that have the same patterns.

10. Anthropologie Delilah Spoon Rest

Add some color to your mom’s kitchen with this glided spoon rest. Hopefully, “Good Things” will come from the kitchen. Check out the matching measuring cups and utensil jar!

11. Anthropologie x Libby VanderPloeg Dashing Dog Spatula & Cookie Cutter Set

I love the spatula cookie cutter set as a mother’s day present! You can make cookies with your mom, or dog treats for the dog (who is so totally her favorite child.) Another cute idea is to give this to your mom, but say it’s from the dogs. They need help thanking her too!

12. Sephora Maison Margiela Replica Memory Box

Buying perfume for someone else is really hard, but not with this perfume sampler. One of my all time favorite perfumes, Sailing Day, is a fresh, light, perfect summer scent, and with 10 different samples, your mom is sure to be a fan of one. 

No matter what gift you give your mom, don’t forget to give her a call and say thank you. She’s done so many things for you over the years, and you probably don’t know about half of them. She’ll appreciate just being thought of. With one of these gifts, she’ll probably be feeling like this…
