30 Fabulous Gifts for Mom Under $40

Looking for some perfect and affordable Mother’s Day gifts? Here’s your chance to make your Mother’s day extra special with these 30 gifts all under $40!

You may recall that last month I totally blew it and forgot my mom’s birthday.

Oops.

She has long since forgiven me,  but I still feel terrible. Luckily Mother’s Day is coming so I now have a chance to make it up for her. I’ve been doing a little online “window” shopping, and I have found so many great gift ideas that I just had to share. (Husband, if you’re reading, hint hint.) And because this is Living Well Spending Less, you can bet that everything on this list is a great deal! Because the only thing better than finding the perfect gift is the perfect gift at a bargain price.

I am a huge fan of online shopping, especially from Amazon, where two-day shipping is free on almost everything when you sign up for Amazon Prime. It’s especially helpful right now with everything going on and since my mom lives in Washington State and I live in Florida, I can just ship it right to her.
