If you’re working with a tight budget this year while looking for unique and thoughtful Mother’s Day gift ideas, don’t fret, because we’ve arranged the below gifts for moms into different price categories that span from under-$50 affordable options to luxury gifts for women who appreciate the finer things in life.

To really treat moms who always put others before themselves, there are plenty of high-quality gifts to give this Mother’s Day that are worth the investment, including a stylish shoulder bag from Gucci, a luxury Trudon candle in an alabaster vessel, and a L’Oréal hair dryer that’s been named one of greatest hair care products of all time by WWD in 2025.

Prada Monochrome Soft Matte Refillable Lipstick
Looking for one of the best red lipsticks to add to her makeup bag? Look no further than Prada beauty. That structural design is a stunner, but it’s the lipstick’s formula that will really wow her this Mother’s Day. The rich pigments only require one to two coats for full color payoff, and the matte finish blurs any subtle lines on the lips to create a fuller, more luscious look. We’re partial to the B105 shade because of its modern take on the ’90s-inspired brown lipstick look.

Favorite Daughter Mom of the Year Baseball Hat
Dad caps, as demonstrated by celebs from Hailey Bieber to Dakota Johnson to Zoë Kravitz (the latter two frequently styling them with trench coats), are as en vogue as ever. This, however, is a mom cap: one that will let the world know that she holds the title of “hippest parent of the year.” Favorite Daughter, one of the most popular brands on Nordstrom, is an “It” girl fashion label that’s all about investing in quality basics you can mix-and-match for years on end; as proof of concept, she can put on this 100-percent cotton number to round out a sundress look, a white tee and baggy jeans in a dark wash, a workout set, and everything in between.

Sugarfina Champagne & Caviar Gift Set
Give moms a reason to celebrate with this Sugarfina candy set that’s all about the finer things in life.

Patchology Rosé Toes Foot Mask
Plop Patchology’s foot mask into that Mother’s Day goodie bag you’re making and secure baby-like softness for Mom’s feet. While foot masks (the kinds that result in viral-on-social-media peeling and shocking before-and-afters) aren’t anything new, the distinguishing factor of this version is that the booties are decked out in metallic rose gold. Visuals aside, they refresh skin in as little as 10 minutes: packed with resveratrol for some anti-aging action, as well as strawberry oil and shea butter for moisture. The smell? Why, only that of your mom’s favorite sparkling beverage, which she should totally sip on while wearing these foil kicks!

Olay Super Cream With Sunscreen
Though the Super Cream is Olay’s most recent product rollout, it’s already deemed an “Amazon’s Choice” bestseller with over 400 five-star reviews to its name on the retailer’s site. If your mom is perpetually on the lookout for a multihyphenate face cream that hydrates, firms, reduces fine lines, brightens, and does all this with sun protection while easily blending with layers of foundation or concealer, you’ve come to the right spot. Unlike many similarly rich face creams, this one isn’t weighty in the least and also dries with a matte finish. She’ll think of you during each and every application.

Miuopur Makeup Organizer With Stackable Drawers
When it comes to the best makeup organizers, sometimes it can be tough to distinguish those that merely looks good from storage that’s also functional and will have longevity. Luckily, this under-$30 organizer can do both. Its translucent green shade is trendy to the max, and it comes with a divided tray for storing taller products like Mom’s favorite perfume or hand cream, plus a drawer for keeping within easy reach all her compact powders and eyeshadow palettes. With a well-lived life comes an inevitable accumulation of stuff, and compartmentalizing it always proves to be a great relief — something you should seriously think about bestowing on Mom.

Quince Acetate Apple Watch Band
We included this gift idea for moms in our roundup of the best Apple Watch bands for all budgets, and it’s easy to see why.

In the tortoise pattern, it’s an absolute beauty and one that will pair well with all of your mom’s spring ‘fits: denim dresses and corp-core blazer combos included. Because sizing is always tricky if you can’t measure your mom’s wrist in person or else don’t want to ask her (so as to keep it a surprise), Quince includes a complimentary resizing kit with every purchase.

Dieux Winged Forever Eye Mask
Let Mom fake eight hours of sleep with these top under-eye patches from Dieux, which blew up in popularity during the pandemic and are cult favorites to this day — chiefly because, unlike many other under-eye masks, they’re endlessly reusable.

Christian Dior Le Baume Multi-Use Balm
WWD editor Adam Mansuroglu owns this balm and preaches about its advantages to anyone who asks.

Fishwife The Starter Pack
We bet you didn’t think tinned fish would make it onto this roundup of the top gifts for Mom. A starter pack from the Instagram-viral Fishwife, though — a female-owned business which prioritizes the ethically-sourced, premium, and delicious — deserves not only a mention but a place in her pantry. Inside, she’ll find everything needed to satisfy pescatarian cravings, from albacore tuna with Spanish lemon to smoked rainbow trout raised in Denmark to sardines with hot pepper for moms who like it spicy. All of it is vibrantly packaged and arranged in a gift tin bedecked with fanciful, hand-drawn illustrations. Apologies in advance for the humor, but a gift this toothsome is a reel catch.

Another editor-tested pick, this hair dryer launched last November to the tune of instant success (it was used by hair stylists responsible for the glam looks of Emma Stone, Zoe Saldaña, and Cristin Milioti at this year’s Golden Globes, not to mention Sabrina Carpenter at the Grammys). We’re barely surprised at how quickly A-listers got on board, considering the fact that the gadget significantly cuts drying time based on its mighty airflow and infrared light emission; reduces frizz and increases hydration even on the driest of days; and offers customization through the compatible AirLight Pro app. If Mom has used a rickety, old hair dryer — with a cord, to add insult to injury! — for years, it’s fine time for a switch.
