by Team Scary Mommy

Great gifts that won’t cost a mint

Mother’s Day is not exactly a holiday that sneaks up on you. The minute those Easter decorations get pulled down, we’re bombarded with motherly messaging from every side. Still, if you didn’t have the foresight to save your latte money to invest in the perfect gift, we’ve got your back.

You might be on a budget, but the mom you’re shopping for doesn’t need to know that. Here are our top picks for presents that say “classy” but stay “frugal.” Any mom would be proud.

Megan Phillips Collection: Ok Lady, I Love You Bye Bye tote bag

Let her save those reusable supermarket bags for ACTUAL trips to the supermarket, and use this cute tote bag to schlep daily essentials around. It’s big enough to hold a laptop, camera, lunch, change of clothes, books, wallet, hairbrush, groceries, and all the other things us ladies need to get through the day.
