8 Mother’s Day Gifts Under $50
1. Lip Oil
Wrap up a beauty essential for Mother’s Day; we guarantee it’s something she can never have enough of. We love Clarins’ Lip Comfort Oil by Clarins. Not quite a gloss, and not quite a balm, this hydrating lip oil helps to keep lips nourished and protected for a healthier, fuller pout. This soothing lip oil is powered by 93% naturally sourced ingredients, including ultra-nourishing botanical oils like organic jojoba, hazelnut and sweetbriar rose. Whether she wears it on top of her usual lipstick for that extra bit of gloss or as an everyday lip tint, this lip oil will quickly become her everyday essential.
2. Jewellery
Surprise her this Mother’s Day with some stylish jewellery she’ll have on high rotation. Many of us make the mistake of thinking that heavenly jewellery is always at a higher price point, but thanks to Barcs, you can find something extra fashionable to suit every style and budget. The elegant Double Long Drop Hook Earrings are a certified crowd-pleaser; featuring pale blue gems with gold-coloured trim, she can wear them to every occasion on her calendar.
3. Coasters
If she loves stylish homewares or entertaining, look no further than a set of coasters like ECOLOGY’s Lucille Coasters in a set of 4. Inspired by the Mediterranean and designed in Australia by artist Sarah Strickland, these coasters have been finished by hand, so each and every one is wonderfully unique in its own way. You could also include a teapot or mugs from the same collection (both under $50, too) to really make her day. Not a fan of gift wrapping? These wonderful coasters do the gift wrapping for you, housed in their own stylish gift box.
4. A Stylish Cardholder
Help her to streamline her collection of cards this Mother’s Day with a chic cardholder. Cardholders are wonderfully practical gifts as she can use one as her mainstay, as a backup cardholder, or as a place to keep any gift cards she receives on the day (hint, hint). For a cardholder that ticks all the right boxes, look to one from Status Anxiety like the Together For Now cardholder. Sleek, stylish and surprisingly durable, this mini cardholder comes in a Status Anxiety drawstring bag for that extra gift-wrapping flourish.
5. A Scarf
It’s usually around Mother’s Day that we start to bid farewell to the warmer months and begin to rug up for autumn and winter. Help keep her cosy with a snuggly (yet fashionable) scarf, like the Pashminetta scarf from Milana. When it comes to colours, we suggest looking for anything that adds a pop of colour to the cooler months, like baby pink or any other rich shades.
6. Flowers (But Not Flowers)
Flowers are a classic gift for Mother’s Day, but sadly they don’t last as long. This Mother’s Day, shake things up in the gifting department with the gift of flowers in a different way. Whether it’s a floral fragrance, imitation flowers, or even artwork featuring a few petals, it’s something she’ll treasure long after the real flowers have wilted. For a Mother’s Day gift the whole family will enjoy, we love LEGO’s Iconic Daffodils. Whether she’s a mother or a grandmother or just enjoys activities like LEGO, these flowers with a twist are suitable for children aged 8 and up.
Did you know we also stock fresh flowers in selected stores just in time for Mother’s Day? You can find out if your closest store has fresh flowers available through our What’s On Instore Guide.
7. Nail Polish
Whether she’s a beauty buff with a shelf overflowing with goodies, or if she keeps it minimalistic and streamlined, it’s a guarantee that she’ll always save room for a brand-new nail polish set. Give her an excuse to soak in that shine with the Infinite Shine Gift Set starring O·P·I’s most iconic shade: bubble bath. Featuring a base coat and glossy top coat, this trio of varnishes are neutral enough to suit every kind of polish wearer, from the manicure devotee to the occasional colour buff.
8. Home Decor
Here’s a gift that’s sure to spark joy. For the hyper-organised, or the knickknack collector, the Parkes Tray from Country Road has a double-tiered design with curved lines and a polished brass-look finish making it stylish enough to put on display, but simple enough to suit her home. Perfect for storing jewellery, keys, trinkets, beauty products, or yummy treats (our Jammy Tea Biscuit Recipe will do nicely), there’s something about stylish storage solutions that make them the always-perfect Mother’s Day gift.
