Sure, we’re just putting away the knee-length puffer, but Mother’s Day is a-knocking. You have just weeks to procure meaningful gifts that’ll show appreciation to all the moms in your life.

The question is…what to buy? The simplest approach is to ask moms what they want. But then you miss out on the element of surprise and the opportunity to give her something she may not have thought of — like any one of these 19 fabulously fashionable finds.

Enjoy this list of Mother’s Day gifts under $45 which includes accessories, beauty, casual wear, and self-indulgences. They’ll all available on Amazon.

Fun flats

Pointed-toe mules are elegant and stylish, but also casual enough for mom to wear on the regular. Thanks to the buckle and faux suede construction, these look more expensive than they are. Mom can reach for these as an anchor to her favorite upgraded jeans outfit. They’ll also pair beautifully with cropped trousers, skirts, and dresses.

Amazing abalone necklace

Give her a taste of luxury by presenting her with this pretty necklace. It’s more than a statement piece. Sea turtles symbolize patience, resilience, and peace. So the necklace can be a compliment to your mom’s character or a source of strength in tough times. The necklace is made of sterling silver and abalone.

A beautiful bangle

As if she needs an excuse to wear shiny baubles! This textured copper cuff delivers a glamorous pop of metallic — which is on trend this season, by the way. The bracelet’s minimal styling makes it the right choice whether she’s going to work or meeting you for dinner.

Pretty pearl earrings

Can you ever really go wrong with pearls? These earrings put a modern spin on an old-school favorite. The curved sterling silver post suspends AAA cultured freshwater pearls just below the earlobe. She can wear these with any outfit, formal to casual.

And how about that price tag? You can’t beat it for a gift she can wear again and again.

Everyday embellished belt

Just say “yes” to a bold belt that’ll make an outfit from her favorite jeans. I love this belt as a gift, because it’s just flashy enough. Belts tend to be practical buys, right? The moms I know have black ones and brown ones and…that’s it. This is a piece that’s probably new to her, but still very wearable.

The big bag

A faux leather tote is a fan-favorite, especially one that comes in rich brown tones. If mom’s the type to carry everything she owns on her person always, then she’ll love this big bag that doesn’t sacrifice style for space.

Straw shade hat

I love floppy hats as much as the next girl, but mom’s floppy hat? It’s a bit much. Give her a sleeker, stylish alternative with this straw Panama hat. The brim is still wide enough to shield her eyes and skin, but not so wide that she risks injuring passersby. It’s the perfect fashionable finish to her sundresses.

Super sunglasses

Every woman can use another pair of stylish sunglasses. Whether she’s constantly losing hers or could use an updated style, these fit the bill without breaking the bank. They also have a retro flair that’s very chic.

Spring scarf

A pretty silk scarf is easily spring’s most valuable accessory. Mom can wear it in her hair, tied around her wrist or neck, or knotted over her purse strap — to give her favorite bag a new look. It adds a splash of color to her neutrals and pairs well with her favorite tees, lightweight sweaters, and denim jackets.

Essential athleisure

Is mom still wearing shapeless sweatpants on her casual days? If so, now’s the time to show her the joys of athleisure. A pair of practical, UPF 50, pocketed cargo joggers is a great place to start.

Apron styled like a sundress

For moms who slave over a hot stove for family dinners, here’s an apron so pretty she’ll want to wear it outside. The belted waist makes fitting easy, and the large hip pocket holds her favorite wooden spoon.

Massage for the matriarch

This affordable beauty gadget offers a relaxing vibration massage, plus LED light therapy. The contoured head treats the neck and face comfortably. She can also use it on her shoulders and arms!

Silk pillowcase for sleeping

Sleeping on silk protects skin and hair from the damages of friction. It’s also an amazing sensory experience. Mom can drift off to a restful sleep with her head on one of the softest, most luxurious fabrics there is.

Super soak for her bath

Bath gifts are a classic choice — mom probably doesn’t invest in self-care days on her own, after all. This soak has a lovely combination of chamomile and lavender. She’ll be de-stressed and luxuriously scented in no time.

Serious skin spray

It’s a mist, serum, and setting spray! Niacinamide and white truffle extract brighten, while avocado oil and sunflower seed oil moisturize. Make-up artists love this stuff for its setting power, too. She’d never buy this for herself, but she’ll get hooked once she tries it.

Repair for her hair

Amazonica’s two-piece hair repair set contains coconut oil and argan oil — in a pretty box — for smoothing and hydrating damaged hair. She’ll only use a tiny bit at a time, so this gift is one that will last.

Essential oil diffuser

Another self-care item mom probably wouldn’t buy for herself, this essential oil diffuser and humidifier can add ambience in a jiffy. The fan is ultra quiet, so she can enjoy aromatherapy and humidity day or night.

Foot massager

You could buy mom a gift certificate for a massage, but why not bring the massage to her? She can use this handy massager on her feet or her back for a relaxing, pain-relieving shiatsu massage.

Pretty nail polish

Life always looks a little better with some fresh paint! This set contains six flattering shades from Nicole Miller. The metallic nude hues ranging from barely there to a pretty shimmering bronze are 100% on point.

Magic moisturizer

Nuria’s Defend cream is an antioxidant powerhouse containing hyaluronic acid, a popular beauty ingredient that draws moisture into the skin. Mom will love adding this cream to her nighttime beauty regimen.
