With Mother’s Day just around the corner, you’re probably asking yourself, what’s the best gift to buy? We’ve been there, too, which is why we’re thrilled to dedicate a good chunk of our 9-to-5s to writing thoughtfully curated gift guides.
Regardless if you’re shopping for your mom, your best friend who’s a new mom or your wife, it may still be difficult to pinpoint exactly what she may appreciate, especially if she’s the type of person who has everything. Not to mention, all of the occasions you’re gift shopping for — from anniversaries to birthdays — can cost a pretty penny.
That’s why New York Post Shopping kept things simple, affordable and accessible by rounding up the 32 best Mother’s Day gifts on Amazon in 2023 — all of which are under $50. From Amazon best-sellers to the snazziest kitchen gadgets mom doesn’t have yet, it’s one of our favorite edits we’ve put together. (Related: Best Amazon items under $25).
So, whether your loved one is all about the cozy finds or is passionately into her fitness routine, there’s something in this gift guide for everyone.

It comes in black, too, and doesn’t take up too much real estate on your counter, either.
When we think of Mother’s Day, we think of breakfast in bed — it’s just that simple. Start off mom’s morning in the best way possible with the Home-it Bed Tray Table that’ll ship to your door in its traditional, timeless design. Not to mention, it’ll put your waffle maker to good use.
