Some may argue that we should celebrate our mothers (and grandmothers) every day, and we agree. However, we’re also happy to set aside one special day every May to cheer for the moms who make things happen. This year, Mother’s Day falls on Sunday, May 10, which may seem like a while away, but trust us, it sneaks up on you faster than you think. Nothing is worse than forgetting to send flowers ahead of time or showing up to the celebratory brunch with something you clearly got on the way over. So, shop for the perfect gift at perhaps the best gift destination of all time: Anthropologie.
We know what you’re thinking: Anthropologie can be really expensive and not ideal for anyone on a budget. However, we spent hourscombing through the home products on Anthropologie’s website and found tons of amazing options that look expensive, but are actually under $25. So, if you’re trying to save, but don’t want to skimp on your mother’s gift, you’ve come to the right place. Ahead, find 25 fabulous finds that will definitely make it clear how much you appreciate your mom today and every day.
Everyone—especially moms—needs to stay hydrated, and this tiny Hydro Flask makes doing so really easy. Yes, she’ll need to fill it up a few times throughout the day, as it’s only 6.7 ounces, but there are bonuses to such a tiny bottle. Namely, it can fit right in her purse.
Dress up her desk with this ceramic pen cup shaped like a swan. Taking notes or writing lists are hardly fun tasks, but at least they can be made a bit more stylish when the pens and pencils are housed in such a beautiful canister.
You can’t go wrong with a photo frame, and this collection lets you pick the best one for her space, with tons of options on offer. Depending on the size and color you choose, you may spend a hair over $25, but there are still a few options just under budget. Don’t forget to slide a sweet photo of you and mom inside before giving it to her.
An oven mitt is a must. No home chef would disagree. So, if your mom loves to spend extra time in the kitchen whipping up some delicacies on a daily basis, give her setup a little upgrade with this gingham mitt that, yes, comes in two charming colors. We are partial to the green.
This metal ice cream bowl looks like something that may have been used on the Titanic, and we are all for it. It’s such a glamorous upgrade from simply using a plain ceramic bowl.
Both of these match holders are a mere $23. There’s also a third, a metal alternative shaped like a bow, for $28, but if you want to go the fruit route, you can save $2. There’s even a striker on the bottom of the holder!
It is our personal belief that you can never have too many trinket dishes, and these come in three different sizes and colors. Whether she uses it for her jewelry, keys, or anything else she reaches for daily, she’ll think of you when the time comes.
We all know a mom who simply can never find her keys in her purse. Well, those days are over because this large, heavy charm is pretty easy to find—even in the biggest, fullest purse.
A martini glass is perhaps the chicest of all the drinking vessels on offer, but they have one major drawback: The stem does not set up the drinker for a clean sip because the liquid tends to slosh around and, within seconds, spill overboard if you’re not holding it steadily. This charming glass has all the style (note: the glass cherry affixed to the bottom, no stem) and none of the risk.
A placemat does two things: protects the table and gives each place setting a nice, contained vignette. This one, just $14, is available in seven colors. Feel free to grab a few in various colors to give her dining room table a fun mix-and-match aesthetic.
This moisturizing stone is a much more beautiful option than a plastic jug of lotion. It’s formulated with cocoa butter and truly melts into your skin the second there’s contact. Trust us; nothing will feel more relaxing at the end of the day than reaching for this delicious-smelling stone.
You’ll certainly find a few pieces from the Icon collection on this list, but rest assured, they’re all different. We’re particularly obsessed with this juice glass tumbler because it’s on-the-go-friendly, with both a lid and a metal straw.
If mom’s table is too small for a sizable vase, just get her one she can fasten to the wall. This kind of dimensional addition will make any gallery wall a little cooler—even without flowers.
As we said, the limit does not exist when it comes to the number of trinket dishes, and this one is an absolute must. After all, it’s completely beaded, which makes it significantly more elevated than your typical trinket dish.
A hand-painted ceramic bud vase makes for the perfect gift. This one is even more special, as there’s a subtle message that almost looks like handwriting. Make sure that part is facing outward so that she is always reminded of how much her kids adore her.
The moment she brings home fresh berries from the farmers’ market or grocery store, she’ll definitely want to transfer them from the plastic container they come in to this beautifully painted ceramic alternative.
Any Anthropologie fan is probably familiar with the now-famous Icon glasses, but few are aware of the matching glass straws. They’re way better than cheap plastic ones (no forever chemicals or microplastics), and they’re infinitely more charming with the glass insects affixed to the top. Mom will love sipping her orange juice in the morning through one of these adorable finds.
This may not be the candle she’ll reach for when she hosts a dinner party, but it is certainly going to become the most fun taper candle in her arsenal. It’s made entirely of wax, but if it weren’t for the flame at the peak, it definitely looks like a tower of delicious ice cream. Just try to avoid the temptation to take a bite.
La dolce vita is upon us, and these tiled dessert plates are proof. Imagine slicing into a slice of olive oil cake on one of these gorgeous dishes and feeling like she’s right smack dab in the middle of Sardinia.
A dishcloth may not be the most glamorous gift, but these ones are definitely cuter than their terry counterparts, and they’re an absolute must for anyone who likes to cook. The fact that these come in a set of four is just a bonus.
