I know what my mother wants for Mother’s Day this year: a hug. And surely she is not the only mother with this desire. But she is in Florida and I am in Michigan, so a visit is out of the question, let alone a hug. (I do not cry; you are Cry.) So what’s the alternative? I want to do that something for mom, even if it’s just a sign.
Here are some ideas that all cost $ 25 or less. I’m not saying you shouldn’t spoil yourself (see the best mothers day gifts from $ 50 to $ 100, or Our favorite Mother’s Day gifts overall), only that it is not necessary. You are fine with something small and thoughtful and a warm one Call on May 10th.
One last thought before I share my selection: Etsy is your friend right now. The site is home to thousands of artists and artists Artisan that offer all kinds of unique items – many of them cost $ 25 or less. (I’m examining this Garden markingsthat start at $ 9 each for my mother Herb garden.) Order as soon as possible to ensure timely delivery.

Reusable grocery bags are required in some states and are beneficial to the environment in all states. They are as practical as they are practical. This set of five bags is in its own small slip pocket, which you can use to tear out individually. And they are machine washable – which you should definitely do between grocery stores.

Znewtech
This is a cool, analog alternative to setting timers with Alexa. Mostly it is a watch. If you need to set a countdown for five, 15, 30, 45 or 60 minutes, just turn the hexagon so that the number is facing up. Presto: Immediate countdown. After it has triggered or if you want to cancel the timer, simply set it back to “Clock”. Sweet, funny and available in four different colors.

Phone loops
These practical straps have been a long-time favorite of mine (and something I’ve been using for years). They are looped through Mama’s phone case so that you can easily keep a good grip and hold more comfortably for long distances. There are many designs and colors to choose from, and shipping is free when you order three (which would still keep you below $ 25).
Another option: My own mother is one enormously He found Petite phone loop (also $ 7 each) that attaches a wrist strap to the bottom of the phone. Like the Ninja Loop, it is compatible with almost any phone and case.

Shutterfly
Puzzles are incredibly popular these days. So why not step into the trend and give mom a puzzle that will solve to reveal a family photo? Or even a collage of them? Shutterfly currently offers 50% off all custom puzzles that are available in a variety of designs. Choose a 252-piece puzzle to stay below the $ 25 mark (though shipping costs extra). Better yet, upgrade to 520 pieces for just $ 5 more.
To update: This discount expires on April 14 and unfortunately the custom puzzle lead time is now two months – which means that Shutterfly is not an ideal choice for Mother’s Day (although you could definitely get ahead on Father’s Day).
