21 of the best Mother's Day gifts under $25 in 2022:
A milk frother that brings the taste of a cafe closer to home
A milk frother is an unexpectedly convenient tool to have around the house, and it can make a frothy latte or cappuccino that tastes closer to what you'd find at the cafe.
This smart notebook is, incredibly, under $25 and lets you upload handwritten notes to the cloud, reducing paper waste and just making life a whole lot easier for Mom.
A compact, waterproof blanket for outdoor activities
They'll appreciate this outdoor blanket for all of their get-togethers outside this year. It folds up easily and can even fit into their pocket. It's also waterproof, puncture-resistant, and sand-proof, so Mom can use this gift to level up beach days, camping adventures, hikes, and picnics in the park.
The Ordinary makes consistently good skincare for a fraction of the prices you'll typically find on Sephora shelves. If she loves the Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 serum, there are plenty of high-quality skincare products from the brand.
A pillowcase made from satin or silk is smooth and cooling, sure, but it can also help reduce frizz and those pillowcase creases we all wake up with on the side of our faces. If she enjoys pampering or treats humidity and frizz as a nemesis, this is a cheap but impactful life upgrade.
Turn some of your favorite family memories into a meaningful keepsake for less than $25. You'll choose the photos as well as the book size, shape, and color.
Best for: The mom who always rushes out with wet hair

A pair of thick, comfortable socks she'll rave about
Maybe mom wouldn't spend $15 on a single pair of socks, but you would for her. Bombas makes the kind of plush, curve-hugging socks that make the investment more than worth it. Plus, for every purchase, the company donates a pair of hyper-durable socks to someone in need.

Best for: The mom always complaining about chapped lips
Spending $20 on a lip balm may seem like a lot, but we think Laneige lives up to the hype. The formula works overnight to leave lips feeling plump and hydrated, plus it comes in fun flavors including plain original, vanilla, and sweet candy.
This small brush delivers the everyday dose of soothing relaxation she never knew she needed. It's comfortable to hold and stimulates blood flow to the scalp and oil glands.
Recipes for the iconic foods from her favorite movies

Choose from more than a dozen leather colors, including a bold red and sophisticated dusty green, for this sleep accessory. Its soft lining and adjustable strap keep her comfortable throughout her whole nap.
When she scratches off a card from LottoLove, she won't win any money. Instead, she "wins" a charitable prize that's donated to someone in need. There are four possible prizes, which help provide clean water, solar light, nutritious meals, or literacy tools.
Best for: The mom who has a whole box of loose family photos
Family photo albums are timeless and make for one of the best gifts you can get mom this Mother's Day. You'll need to do a little extra work in filling out the album with photos of your choice, but it'll all be worth it when you see the smile it puts on her face.
