10 of the Sweetest, Most Thoughtful Mother’s Day Gifts on Etsy (for $50 or Less)

Mother’s Day is one of the hardest holidays to shop for. How in the world do you find something that says “I appreciate everything you did to make me this well-adjusted adult” and also fits inside a wrap-able gift box? A fluffy bathrobe or warm slippers might do the trick around end-of-the-year holidays, and a bottle of wine is always a welcome present. But for the one day dedicated to moms and motherhood, we recommend getting more creative and personalized with your gift-giving.
