You shouldn't really be looking for a cheap gift here. Your mother has given you so much, you should really splurge on a one-of-a-kind gift for her. And don't get me started if this is a mother's day gift for your wife. Your mom will always love you, no matter what, but your wife... you have to prove yourself to her as often as possible. Part of that is luxury gifts, or at least the most luxurious you can afford.

That's where I'll say, circumstances are different for everyone. That's nothing to be ashamed of. Sometimes money is tight and you're looking to save. If all you've got is $50, and you spend that on her, that means the world. Mom understands that more than anyone, considering how much she sacrificed for you, both emotionally and monetarily. So, don't ever feel bad about gift shopping within your budget.

It's all about doing the most with the money you have. For under and around $50, there's plenty of great gifts you can get mom. It's not going to be a watch, a purse, or jewelry, but there are some small things that she'll love. To get your ideas flowing, our shopping editors found these 27 best gifts for mom, and they're all under $50.

Temple des Mousses (Moss Temple)

You could get her a tiny Diptyque candle for $45, but these scented matches will give her more enduring joy. Moss and cedar essences every time she strikes one, she'll never use a grill lighter again.

FreeSip

The best water bottle of all time.

Leather Candle

A leather candle seems intimidating, but it smells so, so good. The best quality is that it smells real, and it smells subtly. It's like when you walk by a leather goods store and catch a whiff out the window. Bliss.

Compact Cheese/Charcuterie Board

Sorry, stretching your budget by $3. But, this compact little serving board gets a million compliments every time my mom has people over for cocktail hour.

Rambler 35 oz Straw Mug

Like that other straw tumbler, except this one from YETI will keep ice for days on end.

Boat and Tote

There has never been, nor will there ever be, a better everyday bag. Get it monogramed for a special touch

Satsuki Azalea Bonsai Tree

You could go for a more traditional bonsai tree, but we love this Azalea because it has beautiful pink blooms every spring.

Green Mound Juniper

If she's a real gardener, a traditional bonsai tree makes for a fun gift and a new subsection of her hobby.

Made in Japan Bonsai Scissors

These plus a bonsai make the perfect zen Mother's Day gift.

Bistro Tile Monogram Mug

Get her a coffee mug that'll remind her of her favorite French bistro.

Extra Virgin Olive Oil

My mom uses so much damn olive oil. A new tin of top-shelf EVOO is an easy gift whenever minor holidays roll around.

Avocado Oil

Olive Oil is generally considered the healthiest cooking oil, but it has a pretty low smoke point. For high temp cooking, avocado oil is the best alternative, and I love this one from La Tourangelle.

25 Oz Bedside Carafe with Tumbler

A beautiful alternative to having a bottle of water on the bedside table. This carafe and glass combo elevates any nightstand.

State Spoon Rest

Show off her home state pride in the kitchen.

Countertop Composter

If she's a gardener or just generally into sustainability, this is a great little gift.

Mulberry Silk Eyemask

Made of the most luxurious mulberry silk, this eye mask will help mom get quality sleep while being gentle on her skin.

The Body Cream

This silky smooth lotion adds a little bit of luxury to her nighttime routine, and it comes in just under the $50 mark.

Deep Cleansing Silica Face Mask

This purifying mask is made with mineral rich Icelandic mud. It's a spa-level face mask she can do at home.

Cinder Tabletop Fire Pit

Gently going over the $50 budget again. But! How cool is this tabletop fire pit? It burns an indoor-safe alcohol-based fuel, so she can use it to make any space a little more cozy.

California Petite Sirah 2021

An incredible wine from a small-time wine maker, courtesy of the folks over at Naked Wines. There's really not a better gift on this list.

Leather AirPods Pro Case with Clip

She'll never lose those pricey AirPods with this handsome little carry case.

Martini Kit

Olive brine, cocktail picks, and two addictively tasty varieties of olive—all mom needs to bring is her preferred spirit and vermouth.

Eve Coupe Cocktail Glass Set of 4

CB2 makes the best looking coupe glasses out there. This set of four is affordable, and it'll work for any drink she wants to mix.

Concrete After Lightning

A high-end alternative to her plug-in car air freshener.

10 Stem Sunflowers

Mom's never going to turn down flowers, and sunflowers are the perfect choice in this nice spring weather.
