I have found that my husband does best on Mother’s Day with a wee bit of direction. Yours, too? Here are some ideas for him, all from Etsy. I kind of like the idea of supporting a mom-owned business on Mother’s Day.

MOther’s Day Gifts Under $25

Padded camera strap cover with pocket for lens cap. Comes in loads of cute fabrics. (Now, if only I could find my lens cap…) $18.50 by Paisley Maizie.

Mom’s calling card; these are fabulous for new play date friends. $18 by Double Buttons.

Organizer basket; I’m thinking this would be good to stash all my party kit tools (glue dots, scissors, safety pins…) $18 by Ms Sew It All.

Coupons. The classic gift. $12 by Neat Things.

Linen pillow spray. Comes in a variety of scents. How cute is this packaging? $10 by Red Leaf Bath and Body.

Love monograms, love pearl, love a chunky bracelet. $21.95 by Embellish Boutique.

Chevron clutch. I say this could go anywhere. It’s too cute to wait for a dinner date. $24 by Crafts by Nesli. (Buy 4 items, get 1 free!)

Under $50

I want one in my kitchen, one in my dream office, one on my next dessert table … $34 by Shugabee Lane.

Yes, please. I’m ready to trade in my professional black phone case. Boring. Lots of designs and colors. $40 by Swanky Press.

I also like chunky necklaces and am still under the influence of coral after our beach vacation. $44 by Urban Dwellers.

Note to Don: I already have birds like this. This idea is for the other husbands, OK? $44 by EcoRock. (They’re having a sale through May 13!)

Heat this neck wrap in the microwave. Relaxing. $30.95 by The Ferris Wheels.

Under $100

Fun, new take on silhouettes – how cute are these hand-painted plates? $50 by Aedriel Originals.

Personalized wood tray – you send in up to 60 meaningful words, and they create a custom design. $60 by Hangs the Moon.

If we ever finish re-doing the master bedroom, this monogrammed pillow would be great. $52 by My Vintage Monkey.

A group gift is fine by me. (I still want the handmade cards, though.) Lilac bracelet with sterling silver. $92 by Rock Stone Treasures. (Free shipping.)

Happy Mother’s Day!
