Mother’s Day is Sunday, y’all! If you haven’t figured out the gift you are going to grab for your sweet mama, NOW IS THE TIME. 🙂
I do happen to know that many of you still haven’t purchased a gift because I’m continuing to receive requests for gift ideas. I did a different collage a couple of weeks ago, but today’s collage is focusing on gifts UNDER $100… some are even under $50… and there’s even a couple under $25! Depending on where you live, all these gifts should arrive in time for the big day.
The cool thing about today’s suggestions is that you could give one of these items by itself if you’re sticking to a tight budget, or you could combine items together. For example, you could grab the candle (#12) and give it with the candle warmer (#14). What about pairing the satin pillowcase (#5) with the Barefoot Dreams robe (#3) and/or the weighted eye blanket (#9). An obvious pairing would be the #1 bracelet and the #13 earrings (20% OFF right now + a free $78 necklace with a $100 purchase, while supplies last). So many possible combinations!
Here are some gift ideas that are guaranteed to delight most moms out there…
1) oval set bracelets / 2) orchid / 3) starry nights robe / 4) guardian necklace / 5) satin pillowcase / 6) U Beauty The Sculpt Arm Compound / 7) Illuminating Tinted Eye Cream / 8) purse / 9) weighted eye blanket / 10) pajamas / 11) scalloped frame / 12) candle / 13) earrings / 14) candle warmer / 15) linen boatneck top
1) oval set bracelets / I talked about some Electric Picks pieces last week, but before we talk about them today I’d like to remind you about the sale. Right now you will receive 20% OFF your purchase (with only limited edition collaborations excluded). In addition to the 20% off, when you spend over $100 you will also receive a FREE Et Tois Necklace (valued at $78!)! The Et Toil necklace will be automatically added to your cart.
I grabbed these earrings and this bracelet for myself early last week, and they would both make excellent gifts.

This tennis bracelet is absolutely gorgeous and totally unique with the individually set oval crystals. I grabbed the silver for myself, but I know my mom would prefer the gold.
And because I wished I’d seen these when I got the bracelet, look at the earrings that complete the set!
And remember, if you were to purchase the above bracelet and earrings, you would get the Et Tois Necklace necklace for free!
2) orchid / This orchid is BEAUTIFUL. Like it’s seriously stunning. It was the perfect touch for this little tray on my bathroom counter. After my mom saw mine, she grabbed one for her bathroom too!
(I got the tray at Homegoods, but you can find a similar one HERE.)
The colors are so pretty, it’s very lifelike, and the under $20 price tag is so reasonable!
And we will talk about this more in a minute, but since you can see some of my favorite Colleen Rothschild products on the tray, you need to know that there’s a big sale going on right now over on the CR site (and all of her products make wonderful Mother’s Day gifts).
3) starry nights robe / I’ve been obsessed with Barefoot Dreams products dating back to around 2014 when I first tried the brand, and I’ve been hooked ever since. I own several cardigans, several blankets, some pajamas, but this is my first Barefoot Dreams robe.
I’m not really a robe girl, which is why I’ve never grabbed one, but when I saw this starry nights robe, I was immediately intrigued. And then when I saw it was ON SALE, I was powerless. (SHOOT. I just realized that this is above $100, but it’s not by much, and I promise it’s worth it.)
I mean, the stars are adorable.
I’m wearing the small here. I wouldn’t say it’s a flattering robe, BUT I DON’T CARE. 😉 It’s incredibly cozy. You will literally feel like you are wrapping yourself in a warm and fluffy cloud.
This would be a fabulous gift for Mother’s Day.
starry nights robe / oversized boyfriend tee / fleece shorts
4) guardian necklace / This necklace is stunning. The rope chain and the crystal embellished cross medallion are both absolutely gorgeous. It’s great on its own, but it’s also a perfect necklace for layering.
Remember that the necklace is 20% OFF right now, and when you spend over $100 you will also receive a FREE Et Tois Necklace (valued at $78!)!
5) satin pillowcase / I’ve talked about this exact pillowcase many many times, and I’m going to again today because it really does make an excellent gift. It’s great for your skin and hair, and it has around 29,000 reviews and the great majority of them are 5 stars! At under $20, you could easily pair this with other gifts as well. It would make sense to give it with the cozy robe (#3) or the weighted eye blanket (#9).
6) U Beauty The Sculpt Arm Compound / Y’all. I can tell you with 1000% certainty that my mom will want to try this product. I talked about the neck and chest cream a couple of weeks ago, and today we’re talking about the arm cream! It’s a revolutionary arm serum with visible firming, smoothing, and anti-aging benefits. This advanced body serum sends nutrients to the skin to enhance skin vitality and energize its appearance for visibly improved texture and elasticity.
My arms aren’t really a problem area for me yet, but I’m committed to taking proactive steps to prevent future problems. You know what they say… An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure!
AND JUST LOOK AT THESE RESULTS!
Use the code SHEAFFER20 for 20% OFF of anything on the site. (There are so many incredible products, and I’m guessing you’ve been hearing about this brand all over the gram because I know I have!)
U Beauty The Sculpt Arm Compound
7) Illuminating Tinted Eye Cream / SALE ALERT! Right now at Colleen Rothschild you can get 25% off sitewide OR if you spend $150 you can get 30% off! That’s HUGE!
Have you tried the best eye cream of all time? This eye cream is a true viral sensation. It was my personal #1 find when I first used it a couple of years ago, and it was actually in my Top 5 finds for the entire year. It’s been in y’alls Top 5 mannnnnnnnnny months as well for several years. YES, IT’S REALLY THAT GOOD. And you guessed it, it would make a great gift.
It makes my under-eye area appear brighter and more youthful. TRULY! The formula specifically targets common issues that many of us deal with like tired and dull eyes, under-eye darkness, fine lines, dryness, and puffiness.
It’s really hard to capture how awesome the eye cream is in a picture, so you’re going to need to trust me. You can use it on its own on a fresh-faced day, but it also functions beautifully under makeup. I’m telling you, this eye cream is going to WOW you.
And just FYI: I don’t like concealer and never use it, but I think this eye cream not only does the job of an eye cream, but it also functions a bit like a concealer does. Here’s the difference though: it doesn’t settle into lines or crepiness (which is why I don’t like or wear concealer).
I obviously highly recommend this product. Like I said before, IT WILL WOW YOU.
Here’s what’s in it and what it does:
- Hyaluronic acid: helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles.
- Caffeine: targets puffiness and water retention.
- Pearlized pigments provide an instant brightening effect and create a radiant, glowing appearance.
- Peach coloring pigments neutralize blue undertones, helping to balance out skin tone and create a more even appearance.
- Peptides help smooth texture.
And because of the huge sale, I want to talk about a handful of other products that I know your mama would love!
The Radiant Cleansing Balm totally changes the taking off your makeup game, and I’m telling you, you won’t even dread washing your face at night. I KNOW. That’s a big claim, but I stand behind it.
This balm truly has a cult following. For those of you that haven’t tried it yet, it’s different than any other cleanser I’ve ever used.
HOW TO USE: First of all, I apply it to a dry face. I scoop out a small amount of the balm with dry hands and slather it on to my dry face. As I rub it on my face, the heat from my hands changes the balm into more of an oily texture and it just feels incredibly luxurious. It melts my makeup away, leaves my skin feeling amazing and hydrated, and the light citrus smell is PERFECT. And it’s so gentle that you can even open your eyes as you are using it! A muslin cleansing cloth comes with it that is made with 100% cotton that gently exfoliates while you’re cleansing. It’s incredible. I just pop my cloth in the wash every several days. And listen, if you’re concerned about the price, don’t be. This jumbo tub lasts me around 9 months!
After cleansing my face, I use the peel pads. I’ve been using the Glycolic Acid Peel Pads for probably 4-5 years now, and I absolutely swear by them. After adding them to my weekly routine years ago, I’ve never looked back. These pads contain glycolic and lactic acid, both used for cell turnover. AND AT MY AGE, I NEED ALL THE HELP WITH CELL TURNOVER THAT I CAN GET. These pads boast a spa-strength treatment formula that helps to dissolve skin-clogging dirt and debris. The pads target fine lines, hyperpigmentation and imperfections. My skin needs help in all of these areas, and using these pads reveals a fresher, brighter, more even complexion.
The pads are large, so I sweep the pad all over my face, neck, and chest after cleansing. Paying attention to your neck and chest is so important!
I used to use a pad every 3-4 days, but then I went to every 2 days, and now I use them every single night. I notice such a difference that I just want to always be using them. There are 60 pads per order, so the jar lasts me 2 months (using one every day).
Cleansing Balm / Glycolic Acid Peel Pads
The Face Oil #9 is a product that I absolutely cannot live without. Like I would absolutely freak out if they ever discontinued it. If you’ve never tried it, you really need to! I’ve given it as a gift several times, and everybody that I’ve ever given it to is now a devoted user.
When I first started using it years and years ago I only used it at night, but now I use it in the morning too. I just mix it with my moisturizer and my skin absolutely drinks it up. YOU WILL LOVE IT. It is a must have product for me for sure.
Colleen touts it as the ultimate in skin luxury, and I have to agree. It improves radiance. RADIANCE!
The Vitamin C Brightening Serum is one of the newer additions to my daily routine. I now use it every morning after my morning cleanse, and I put it on before I put on my moisturizer/face oil combo. It feels great going on, and I feel like it gives me a healthy glow. Plus, I know it’s just good for my skin!
It combines two skin-care superstars, 15% stabilized Vitamin C (THD Ascorbate) and the workhorse antioxidant Niacinamide. The synergistic blend helps improve the appearance of dark spots, smooth uneven skin texture, brighten dullness and defend against the impact of environmental aggressors. Over time skin appears radiant luminous, and healthy.
My mom turned me on to the Age Renewal Super Serum probably 3-4 years ago now. She uses tons of CR products, but this one is her tip top favorite. She swears that the deep smile lines she has on each side of her face were greatly reduced as a direct result of adding this product into her routine.
My mom used to not bat an eye at spending serious bucks on skincare. Like, SERIOUS bucks. She felt like her skin was important and it was worth the money to take care of it. However, after my dad retired, she started to become more mindful about the money she was spending and changed up her products. She was disappointed that her skin wasn’t looking as great as it had in the past, so she went back to the expensive lines. But after I introduced her to Colleen’s products, she was able to ditch the super pricey products, and now she only uses Colleen AND IS THRILLED WITH THE RESULTS.
So I use the Vitamin C Serum every morning, and I use the Age Renewal Super Serum every night.

8) purse / Every mama loves a purse, right? I’m sad to say the one I featured in the collage is now sold out, but there are lots of bags from the same maker all under $100.
AND Y’ALL. Look at this bag! I want this one for myself for sure. It’s right at $100 and it’s giving Gucci, don’t ya think?
9) weighted eye blanket / I got this weighted eye blanket two years in a row at a Favorite Things party, and it’s now a favorite for me too. I don’t usually use it at night, but I do use it for the occasional nap. Not only does it obviously block out the light, but the slight weight is also very soothing. It’s fabulous.
I read some reviews where there are some people that keep theirs in the freezer and say it helps with migraines.
10) pajamas / Pajamas are always a great gift idea, and I think that these are darling.
11) scalloped frame / I think this frame is absolutely beautiful, and you can personalize it for your mama by placing a favorite photo inside. If you have a bigger budget, this digital frame is a PERFECT gift for a mom/grandma. You can set it up so you can e-mail photos and they will populate the frame!
12) candle / If you need to give me a gift, please know that candles are always a great idea. 😉 I’m guessing it’s that way for everybody! Click HERE for an extensive candle selection with tons of different scents and vessels to choose from.
13) earrings / Everybody loves a diamond stud, and the earrings below are just studs with a little extra flare! There are 105 reviews, and almost every single one is 5 stars. And remember, the earrings are 20% off, and when you spend over $100 you will also receive a FREE Et Tois Necklace (valued at $78!)!
14) candle warmer / I just started using candle warmers last year, and I can’t stop telling people how amazing they are. Here’s the deal… I’m the crazy girl that wonders if she blew the candles out every single time that she leaves the house, so because of that, I pretty much never burn candles. These warmers take my candle anxiety away :), and they make the house smell incredible. I swear the candles are more fragrant when they are warmed vs. being burned.
15) linen boatneck top / This linen boatneck top is light, it’s airy, and it’s perfect for spring and summer. I know my mom would love it. I love the boatneck and the boxy fit. I think the white I featured in the collage is so classy, but I love it in this red color too. I’ll be wearing this top with regular denim, with white denim, with cream denim, and hopefully with an array of drawstring shorts (both solids and patterns).
These navy floral shorts are adorable and now on super sale. They have a wide elastic waistband and are obviously incredible comfortable. I love the playful navy floral print, but you can click HERE to see all of the other colors and patterns available. I think they look great paired with this bright top, but I’ve also ordered this lightweight white crewneck beach sweater (50% OFF!) to style them with for a super casual vibe.
