15 Gift Ideas Teens Can Give Mom for Mother's Day

I know how hard it is to come up with ideas for mom when you feel like she could buy what she wants for herself, and you don’t have tons of money to spare. But moms need to feel loved (I know b/c I am one) and even the smallest of efforts will go a long way. Here are 15 unique ideas for something you can get your mom even on a small budget (the more expensive things you can split with a sibling or help dad out by giving him a nudge in the right direction).

Also, since I am a mom…I can vouch for being very happy to receive any of these gifts for Mother’s Day.

Good luck spoiling your mom this Mother’s Day!


Red Aspen Nail Dashes If you have been following me for any period of time you know how much I LOOOVVE these. This is a perfect, affordable gift for your mom for Mother’s Day. They have the cutest special going on for Mother’s Day…Wild Purple Petunia Nails, Eyeshadow Pallet, and a cute “mom” tattoo.


Loopy Phone Case I love my Loopy Phone case. I seriously won’t ever have another type of case. It makes it so I still have use of both of my hands at all times. HIGHLY recommend. If you decide to get one of these for mom (and/or) yourself…you can use coupon code ChelseaAdamsphoto and you get 10% off your order.


Mother's Day Gift Ideas Spa Day

Massage and Spa at Bethany has some fun specials going on for Mother’s Day. This would be a great idea to go in on with all of your siblings to really spoil mom for Mother’s Day. Buy Mom a $100 gift and get an extra $20. OR, buy the exclusive Mother’s Day Spa Package. Check out their website for more info about their Mother’s Day Specials. They look AMAZING.


The Sill Plant Store I absolutely ADORE this plant store. I buy gift cards for thank you gifts, subscription packages and more from The Sill. This can be for major plant lovers or newbies (aka wannabes). I just love looking at their website in general.


Norwood Lavender Farm Lavender Lemonade, Cocktail picks, Lavender syrup for cocktails, seltzer water, hot chocolate or ice cream. I absolutely adore Nicole, the owner at Norwood Lavender Farm. If you aren’t following her on Instagram, go check her out and give her some love. Her Insta feed is beautiful, her lavender recipes are to die for and her lavender lemonade mix is the BEST!


Lash Lift from Lash Lounge Get mom a gift card for a set of lashes from the Lash Lounge in Bethany!


balance and harmony mother's day candle

Candles So I love me a Bath and Body Works candle, or a Yankee, or really any candle I sniff at Target too. But if you want to get Mother’s Day done while you are sitting here on your phone, I love the look and smell of this candle and every mom wants “Balance and Harmony” in their life and in their home so this is a beautiful, affordable gift that looks extra thoughtful when you add a card and mention something clever about the title of the candle!


Made By Mary Literally everything on this site is on my wish list for every holiday. I love the simple style, affordable prices, and supporting women owned start up businesses.


Mother’s Day Special…15% off your order with the code 15MAMA from now until May 2nd so order quick!

Hair Clips, combs, scrunchies, hot pads & more!

Candy Argyle Designs Has the cutest hairclips, scrunchies, hot pads, masks ever. ANND she is a local creative mom who I absolutely love supporting.


Here are some more fun ideas…

Farrington Earrings Super cute custom made earrings and she is offering a “Mom and Me” but one get the second pair half off. They can be the same design or totally different. So many options. You can find her account on Instagram or her earrings are also sold at The LoveJoy Workshop and Maple Boutique in Bethany Village.

Maxi Dress from Amazon! I got this in two different colors b/c I love it so much. The green one is my favorite.

Nails PDX Love this lady and her unique nail designs buy mom a gift card or take her out for a pedicure.

Ankle Sandals This might seem random, but I LOVE these sandals and they are super inexpensive, flattering, surprisingly comfortable and I get compliments every time I wear them. Go find mom’s shoe size and surprise her with these cute, comfy sandals.

Urban Decay Anti-Aging Eye Makeup Primer No need to mention the fact that mom is aging or anything, but this primer is the best. I can’t testify to its anti-aging properties but I CAN vouch for the fact that my shadow stays on about one million times longer. Highly recommend almost anything from Urban Decay that link is from Amazon, but you can get Urban Decay at Ulta or Sephora as well.

A nice, thoughtful card. There is literally nothing I love more than when my kids take 5 minutes to tell me they love me and why. Words of Affirmation are my love language, but I’d say 100% of moms love to receive a thoughtful card from their teens.
