This year Mother’s Day spending will reach an estimated $23.6 billion. Although the strength of the economy is a key driver of this spending, another factor includes people buying gifts for all of the other mothers in their lives — not just their own mother.
Stepmoms plus other relatives and friends who are mothers deserve a nod on Mother’s Day too. So, what do you get the other moms in your life?
Witty Mugs
There are thousands of witty mugs out there, and if any of the mothers you are shopping for like coffee or tea, this is a good gift category.You just might make her day if you give her this “Best Bonus Mom Ever” mug
If you want to add to the gift, you can fill the mug with her favorite candy or specialty coffee beans.
Personalized Bamboo Cutting Board
A cute example is this wooden cutting board that you can customize with a special message dedicated just to her — that gives you room to spell out whatever your relationship might be.

Satsuki Azalea Bonsai Tree
One popular plant among Mother’s Day shoppers on Amazon right now is the Satsuki Azalea bonsai. It’s easy to maintain, has beautiful pink flowers and doesn’t take up much space. Bonsai trees are considered to be living art, can be used to reduce stress, and can be used to create one-of-a-kind aesthically dynamic tiny trees.
Plus you can choose between small, medium and large sizes to fit your budget and the gift recipient’s home space. You can buy a small, medium, or large bonsai tree from prices ranging from $30.49 to $45 at Amazon now.
Acknowledgement
Lastly, the biggest gift you can give your stepmom or any other mother in your life is acknowledgment.
Showing her appreciation and letting her know that you see the effort she has put into being in your life will make her feel special, even if you can only budget for a card.
Speaking of cards, there’s a whole spectrum of possibilities — from the ones you make yourself to the kind you buy, which can even have bling on them. An example is this rhinestone-trimmed Mother’s Day Card which costs $8.99 on Amazon.
Gift-giving isn’t as much of a tradition on Mother’s Day like it is on other holidays, so you shouldn’t feel obligated to bestow anything upon any of the mothers in your life. However, this little bit of effort can really make your recipients’ day.
