Mother’s Day Gifts Under $50 That Are Thoughtful and Amazing

We love the whimsical nature of Anna Bond's illustrations, and this one is sure to spruce up any room in the house.  

This universally flattering shade gives a subtle rosy flush and goes on incredibly smooth. 

Such a cute little trinket for her desk (give it with a planted succulent for extra points). 

Let your mom say what she will about Kim Kardashian, but the fact remains she has great skin. This creamy pigment is a favorite of hers, and can be blended with moisturizer for a light foundation, too. 

If she hasn't ditched plastic bags already, give her a poppy reason to do so. 

You can't argue with 100 percent silk in pretty pink and blue. You can even show her 18 ways to tie it. 

Separately, floral and drop earrings are so hot right now. Together, they're a fashion home run (we have a feeling you might be borrowing these). 

Here's something that will make inevitable spills a bit more tolerable. 

A bit of texture gives faux leather a high-end finish. 

As the product page says, "Somtimes 'Mom' just isn't enough." 

Woven from ultra-fine fibers, this game-changing towel dries hair with less friction than plain old cotton, which means minimal breakage and frizz. 

Cute with mom jeans, no? (But really, everyone should own a pair of throw-on-and-go shoes that aren't sneakers.) 

There is nothing chicer for when the weather warms up (see: Lauren Hutton), and the price is unbeatable. You could even buy two—they have tons of great colors! 

Everything about this botanical-packed line is spa-like—Gwyneth Paltrow is a fan, FYI—and this light cream combats signs of aging with retinol while moisturizing. (If you can afford it, splurge for the Morning Time cleanser, which will transform her AM face wash into a luxurious ritual.)
