You don’t need to break the bank to show your dear mom just how much she means to you, which is why we’ve put together this eclectic collection of inexpensive gifts for mom under $50.
Below, you’ll find a wide variety of useful and budget-friendly items that range from a bathtub spa pillow that’ll help mom relax in utmost comfort while she soaks, to a bath bomb gift set so that she can pamper herself from the comfort of home.
1. Dual Jet Bath Spa
Instantly transform your simple tub into a five star delight using the dual jet bath spa. This attachment fits all standard tubs and features adjustable jets and nozzles to create an enthralling whirlpool experience that’ll leave you fully relaxed.
Product Review :
I read a couple of reviews saying the jets weren’t strong enough. Well, they looked pretty strong to me when I put them in the tub.
Not the strength of a built-in jet in an actual Jacuzzi tub, but come on, for thirty bucks, what are you expecting?
This will make your tub a lot more relaxing and help soothe out those achy muscles, and that is what it is all about anyway.
2. Bathtub Spa Pillow
Experience total serenity during your next soak by resting your noggin on this bathtub spa pillow. This waterproof two-panel pillow comes padded with two inches of ultra soft foam and is equipped with seven high quality suction cups that won’t slip off when wet.
Product Review :
Don’t let the pictures deceive you – this pillow is deceptively soft. I’ve used a lot of bath pillows over the years and this is by far my favorite. It’s very robust and the suction cups are strong and don’t slide around.
Some reviewers mentioned the pillow ripping due to the force of the suction cups and pulling on the pillow itself. I’ve found that when removing the pillow from a surface, it’s best to use your fingernail to lift the suction cups off individually then there’s no risk of ripping.
I’m glad I went with the 3 fold model too – it fits great in my curved soaking tub. I was concerned the curve may be an issue, but the pillow formed right too it no problem! I’ll keel this review updated as I use it.
3. Makeup Organizer Station
Upgrade your beauty station by placing all your cosmetic products inside this makeup organizer station. Crafted from bamboo, it features a removable mirror, docking station for your tablet or smartphone, and comes coated with a stain-resistant sealant.
Product Review :
Love this! Holds make up well! If you have your phone in the stand and are on facetime (for example) it is hard for the person to hear you.
So not great if you’re going to record but its great if you’re watching something while getting ready. Love it!
4. Bath Tub Wine Glass Holder
Wash away the stress caused by a hectic day by making bath time a little more enjoyable with the bath tub wine glass holder. The suction cup sticks securely onto porcelain or tile and can accommodate both stemware and cans.
Product Review :
We absolutely love this product. We have an Airstream and had been looking for wine and beverage holders that would work with the stainless interior walls.
After looking at many competitors, we decided to give SipCaddy a try because it wasn’t permanent and we were worried about leaving any marks to the interior.
I have to say that they work perfectly and have lived up to their description. The suction cup mount has a firm hold and we haven’t had any spills or accidents.
We also have used them in our little boat and again they have worked like a charm.
5. Picnic Backpack
Throw out those bulky and cumbersome picnic baskets and get serious about your picnicking. The picnic backpack makes carrying your food, cups, eating utensils, and other various items a breeze with its seemingly endless amount of storage compartments.
Product Review :
I bought this for my 6 year old son, who has been on a picnic kick lately. For families, it’s perfect. The dishes and napkins are kind of dinky, but I don’t want to bring fine dishes for outdoor eating.
The drinkware is plastic, so don’t use this pack for a romantic wine and cheese outing for two.
I like that it comes with a cutting board and knife, and the holder on the side fits wine bottles nicely, although I actually used it to strap a juice-filled thermos to the pack. Very handy! Great excuse to get the kids out of the house.
6. Bring Me Some Wine Socks
Say what’s on your mind without uttering a single word while wearing these “bring me some wine” socks. These white cotton socks provide a soft comfy fit that’ll keep your feet toasty – making this a great gift for the lazy wine lover in your life.
Product Review :
At first these seemed a great way to eliminate the need for speech as I would get my beloved wine to help her relax after a rough day.
On the other hand, she wasn’t pleased when she had fallen asleep on the sofa and I poured Malbec on her per the instructions.Then they provided excellent traction for her as she chased me across our hardwood floors.
Before, I could perform some basic serpentine, evasive maneuvers and she just wasn’t able to corner in lesser performing socks. Now she chases after me like a Wine- Fueled Indy Car!
7. Wooden Bathtub Caddy
Keep everything necessary for a relaxing soak close by when you’re in the tub using this wooden bathtub caddy. This lovely all-bamboo caddy sports accents like detachable side trays and slots carved into the surface to accommodate all your accessories.
Product Review :
Perfect gift for the bath lover, and great way to make a bath look more thoughtful and designed even when not in use. Our tub is deep and has handles that this tray fits perectly on.
The ability to slide it apart makes it easy to customize to the right width. When not in use the trays and holders are a perfect place to store bath accessories (bubble bath, candles, etc.) that keep the tub area from looking like a hoarders pile.
The holder fits an iPad 12″ in the vertical position, but not really horizontally, that’s tough if you wanted to watch a show. It’s possible to prop it up though using the grooves in the tray so overall this does the trick.
Comes with removable soap/wine/stuff trays that can be reconfigured or removed entirely if your tub is not as wide.
8. Instant Wine Chiller And Aerator
Start enjoying your prized wine from the moment you open the bottle by using the instant wine chiller and aerator. Pouring the wine through it instantly aerates it while simultaneously lowering it down to the ideal drinking temperature.
Product Review :
Purchased this for my son for Christmas. I didn’t have to do any research on this, he used Amazon’s want list feature. He said he was a little surprised at the heft of this, but that it does a great job.
He is very happy with it. And I am happy that he’s happy! It arrived in plenty of time for Christmas. B
9. Aerator And Decanter Glass
Bring some style to the way you enjoy your wine by serving it out of this aerator and decanter glass.This elegant glass sits on a sleek stainless steel base and helps enhance both flavor and aroma by aerating your wine while you fill the decanter.
Product Review :
There are many different sizes, and this one is a “small” one, as it only holds 1/2 of a 750ml (standard wine bottle size). If you want one that holds a full size wine bottle, be prepared to use your “smart phone” to convert ounces to mL, etc.
Be sure to order the correct size, because they also have some available that “can hold more”, and we feel that if you’re going to “aerate and decant” wine, it’s better to have one that’s a bit bigger than one that’s too small!
10. Aromatherapy Essential Oil Aroma Diffuser
Unleash delightful aromas into the air by lighting up this aromatherapy essential oil aroma diffuser. The lamp lights up in one of 6 vibrant colors and quietly diffuses a continuous stream of delightful scents throughout the entire room.
Product Review :
I’m in love with my new diffuser! It’s different from other diffusers because the firework dome really makes the colors pop. I have trouble falling asleep at night but with the combination of the essential oils and the colorful display I’m out in no time. Love this!
11. Lithop Succulent Stone Plants
These lithop succulent stone plants are ideal for anyone looking to add a natural touch to their yard without putting in a lot of hard work. These stone-like succulents feature amazingly vivid color schemes and require very little watering and constant care.
Product Review :
Much to my pleasure, the package arrived several days earlier than indicated. I followed the instructions to the letter, not really believing such minuscule little things were seeds.
Five days later, lo and behold, I saw through a magnifying glass, tiny green spots! They had started to germinate.
In the package, as a bonus, came a baby Lithops. It too, after five days is showing signs of growing. I would certainly buy from this seller again, and wholeheartedly recommend her business.
12. Rotating Makeup Organizer
This rotating makeup organizer is the key to keeping all your makeup and accessories tidy and always at hand. It comes with 12 compartments with enough room to store up to 60 makeup brushes and 30 skincare products in addition to other accessories.
Product Review :
I’m really glad I got this! It’s a good size and fit pretty much all the items I wanted to put in it.
The plastic is sturdy and so is the rotation. Another great thing about this is that it’s so much easier to clean the countertop now because I don’t have to move 30 things around.
You can see a better size comparison in the 2nd picture.
13. Shiatsu Neck & Back Tissue Massager
Who says you have to go to a fancy spa to get a deep soothing rub down? This shiatsu neck and back tissue massager comes with a row of 8 deep-kneading shiatsu massage nodes that you can set to 1 of 3 speeds for a relaxing and soothing massage.
Product Review :
This is a great tool that I bought for my mother. She has lots of shoulder tensions because of her age. She says the massager works really well without many issues.
It was quite simple to use and the pressure can be set by how much pressure you are applying downwards. The heat mode is quite unique. It allows the person to turn on the heat or turn it off if they prefer it that way.
My mother loves everything about it. Overall, a product that can satisfies my family.
14. DecoBros Mesh Desk Organizer
DecoBros Desk Organizer offers an elegant design rack to sort and organize your file folder, letter, and accessories.
Review:
When I bought this product, I knew I only wanted the tray organizer (the bottom part). I tried finding one here on Amazon that looked exactly like it, but just couldn’t.
So I bought this with the intention of only using the bottom half and I love it! I’m glad it doesn’t come attached to it – you can choose to attach it or not. All in all, I’m very happy with this product. It’s exactly what I wanted and its quality is amazing.
15. Large Cold Brew Coffee Maker
Simply and easily make delicious cold-brew coffee each and every time. Coffee maker cold brew(s) the Wicked Java Joe way. To use this mason jar, iced coffee maker just add coffee grounds, steep overnight, then drink up every naughty sip.
Review:
Its great exactly what i was looking for followed the instructions but i added a step cause some fine settlment happens i filter through an ubleached coffe filter and their measurement for regular and concentrated is a little on the cautionary side as this 2 qaurt makes almost a full 12 cup coffee pot of coffee so their measurements are for me a little weak but i also been drinking cowboy coffe and always drank the kinda coffe that you can use as paint thinner as they say so if ya not like then their measurments are great if ya are make sure you use a full cup of beans or youll be disappointed
16. Sorbus Cosmetics Makeup and Jewelry Big Storage Case Display
It features elegant clear construction to store your makeup and jewelry with an effortless view. Drawers on the bottom unit are ideal for oversize cosmetics, toiletries, and grooming tools, while the top drawers hold smaller items. It also includes removable black mesh padding to keep items protected and in place. Drawers are perfect for storing lipsticks, foundations, bronzers, blushes, eye shadows, primers, powders, jewelry, accessories, keepsakes, and much more!
Review:
Nice quality – roomy drawers. I like the liners in each of the drawers. If the liners are rolling up on you, flip them over and they will flatten out right away. Packaging was adequate – even though there was a ding in the outer box, the styrofoam surrounding the case was intact and nothing broke.
The only reason I didn’t give this 5 stars is that there is a paper strip glued to the top of the case that you have to remove. The paper came right off but the glue didn’t. I used Dawn, I used Windex, I used a scrubby sponge but the glue was still there.
I then used Goof Off which removed the finish and marred the acrylic. My fault for not knowing that Goof Off would leave a mark but that was too much glue to leave on the outside of the unit – anything I stacked on top would have ‘stuck’. Oh well. Hope my experience helps someone else.
17. Wood Wall Art Frame Plaque
Framed art features silhouette designs and an inspirational verse. Easily fits on a shelf or wall. Individually boxed and hanger for hanging. Measures 8″ x 16″. A Prayer for my Mom – Dear God I gratefully thank you for giving me my Mom, you must really love me ’cause you gave the best you had. Watch over her and Bless her Lord and keep her in your care, and may she feel my love for her is my humble, heartfelt prayer.
Review:
These framed sayings, by this company, are so pretty! They’re very classy looking and the colors are beautiful. This was the first one I bought.
I was worried about shipping because you’d think it’s fragile. It made it here in perfect condition. So, I bought another one in a different style.
18. Klikel Family Tree Frame
Family tree picture frame display with 10 hanging picture photo frames show how your family tree has blossomed with this unique metal tree with 10 hanging picture frames. Finished in dark metal, this striking design features hanging 2×3 frames and stands on its own as a bold statement piece. Intricately carved branches and leaves artfully display your precious family pictures, making it a treasured family heirloom for years to come. Makes the perfect mothers day or family reunion gift.
Review:
Bought this for our children’s grandma to hold all ten grandchildren’s photos. It is beautiful and was so well received, we had to take orders for other family members. The tree is very nice large size. Sturdy and mixed bronze in color. The photo frames are quite small. Photo itself is 2×3 inches. Perfect for this type of gift. I also ordered the four extra photo frames for adding the new grandchildren on the way.
There is plenty of room to add at least six more photo frames. I tied a knot in a couple of the velour ribbons to make them hang shorter, to make the display more attractive.
It’s better than what I expected. Only one of the frames wasn’t perfect, with a slight bend in the back lip and a regular piece of cardboard cut to fit where the obviously missing original piece should have been. It wasn’t anything noticeable enough to take away the beauty of the overall look of the photo tree. I highly recommend it.
19. Genteele Sherpa Throw Blanket
Genteele is excited to present the heavenly warm, toasty, irresistibly cozy and modern, all-season throw blanket! Indulge yourself with this ultra soft throw blanket on the sofa while watching TV, on the livingroom chair, or even in bed, and you’ll never want to leave it behind.
Review:
I bought these for use in our RV-Living Quarters Horse Trailer. They are wonderful. My family fights over who gets these blankets when we go camping. Even the dog loves them.
They hold up well to washing and don’t lose softness when washed. They are perfect warmth and weight, and ultra soft and luxurious! And they look nice too. I am ordering more to give as gifts. And also some for my family. We LOVE this blanket!
20. E Tronic Edge Waist Packs
E Tronic Edge running belt, the first of its kind bringing comfort to your workout using a lightweight but yet durable material. This Waist Pack is designed to fit all phones unlike.
Review:
I am so very excited about this purchase! I love to go on walks and jogs but just have never found the right accessory to carry what I need and was discouraged – other products were too big, too bulky or uncomfortable in general and most looked awful.
This waist pack is the perfect solution for me – it holds my 6s plus with ease, keys, money, and combine that with it’s comfort and sleek design and it is a home run! I highly recommend this one!
