Well, look what we have here, another spend-happy holiday on the horizon. Mother’s Day is happening on May 11, so if there’s a strong female figure leading a life of caregiving in your orbit, get ready to be among the 84% of U.S. adults planning to celebrate the occasion.
On average, those observing Mother’s Day plan to spend $254.04 on gifts and celebrations. Of course, you needn’t spend nearly that much (if anything at all) to let Mom know she’s incredible. If you do have the means and desire to spend within reason, Target has some standout deals on items that could make ideal Mother’s Day presents.
‘Best Mom Ever’ Wine Labels
Did you already buy your mom a coffee mug that reads “Best Mom Ever”? Well, with this phrase, you have options. You can pick up “Best Mom Ever” wine labels at Target and slap them on bottles of red or white. A four-pack of labels is on sale for $7.99, marked down from $9.99.
Oversized Throw Blanket by Vera Bradley
Target has some great home deals going on right now, among them a selection of oversized throw blankets by Vera Bradley that each measure 66 inches wide and 94 inches long. Available in a variety of colors and patterns (some especially perfect for spring), each blanket is on sale for $29.75, marked down from $85 — impressive!
Scented Candle (Caribbean Cocktail)
What might this 12-ounce, ombre frosted candle that reads “Caribbean Cocktail” smell like? We’re thinking more fruity than boozy. It’s on sale at Target for $6.80, marked down from $8.
Funny (and Relatable) Mom T-Shirt
Mothering is inherently exhausting — to the point where having a sense of humor about it is pretty much the only way to cope. Gifting this shirt that reads “Tired Moms Club” tells the mom in your life that you get it. It’s on sale, in a variety of colors, at Target for $27.99, marked down from $34.99.
Egg Cooker
Here’s something that a busy caregiver in charge of prepping for breakfast for the family will get a lot of use out of: the Dash 3-in-1 everyday 7-egg cooker with omelet maker and poaching. This nifty device creates perfectly cooked eggs, in a number of ways, in less time than it takes to boil water. It’s on sale for $14.99 at Target, marked down from $16.99.
Essential Oil Diffuser
An essential oil diffuser, like the one Target has on sale for $17.50, marked down from $25, can turn a boring bathroom or bedroom into an aromatherapeutic experience. This one features multiple light settings and uses ultrasonic vibrated humidification to gently but efficiently fill a space with fragrance.
Designer Sunglasses by Burberry
Sunglasses by luxury designer Burberry can easily set you back a few hundred bucks. The Burberry women’s geometric sunglasses are typically priced at $268, but Target currently has them on sale for $108.53.
Premium Bath Towels
Spending $20 more on the “nice towels” is the sort of thing you may not do when you’re sticking to a frugal budget. So, if your mom is living on a fixed income and may not have the means to dish out the big bucks on this bathroom essential, indulge her. You don’t have to break the bank; Target is selling six-piece bath towel sets (available in navy blue, light blue, light gray or white) for $58, marked down from $100.
Mother’s Day Gift Cards (Set of 8)
If you have more than one superhero woman to celebrate this Mother’s Day, a box of cards is useful — and more budget-friendly than buying individual ones. Target has an eight-pack of Mother’s Day cards on sale for $12.99, marked down from $16.99. Each card kicks off with a different inspirational prompt, so you won’t be providing the same canned message over and over.
