Mother's Day Freebies

Everybody appreciates a good freebie, and moms are no different. There's always a chance that restaurants may run special promotions where moms can eat free, which could be a boon if you're searching for Mother's Day brunch locations. But even if you don't see an offer like that, we already know one sweet deal that'll be available.

Stop by a participating TCBY store on May 14 and treat your mom to 6 ounces of frozen yogurt, totally for free! Keep an eye out for similar offers from other brands, as well.

Mother's Day Jewelry Sales

Jewelry is a classic gift for Mother's Day, so of course it's part of the holiday sales around the event. Even better is that the deals have the potential to be really great, so you don't have to break the bank just to give Mom a new shiny something.

For example, last year Szul offered a selection of rings, earrings, and necklaces starting at $20, with discounts reaching up to 90% off. Amazon also had Mother's Day deals on jewelry items, with rings priced from $12.75, earrings from $13.51, and necklaces from $15.29.

Jewelers such as Zales can be worth shopping, too. Last year, it knocked up to 50% off a number of items, including diamond earrings, birthstone necklaces, and standards like bracelets and rings. Blue Nile is another store that knocked up to 50% off select pieces last year, and it's doing the same in 2023.

If you don't see anything at these stores that feels right, look at department stores like Macy's and Kohl's for deals, too.

Mother's Day Clothing and Shoe Sales

If you'd rather refresh Mom's closet than her jewelry box, know there should be plenty of apparel and shoe deals to check out. Last year, Macy's provided apparel savings in the form of 25% off via a coupon code, while Reebok cut an extra 40% off sitewide and Saks Off 5th took up to 70% off for its Mother's Day sale.

One store to keep a close eye on is eBay, which offered a ton of apparel and shoe savings around Mother's Day last year. They took up to 74% off sneakers, including top brands like New Balance, ASICS, and Reebok. But the online retailer also discounted the following:

• Superdry items by up to 70% off
• Crocs by an extra 25% off
• Reebok by up to 50% off

If you aren't sure what to get your mom, know that gift cards are fine, too. Watch for brands like adidas to have discounted gift cards. Last year, they offered a $50 gift card for just $40 in early May, so it was an ideal last-minute Mother's Day gift.

Mother's Day Discounts on Sweet Treats

Does your mom have a sweet tooth? Keep an eye out for special deals from Target, which historically has put goodies like Lindt chocolate truffles on sale for the holiday. But Macy's has also been known to offer discounts of up to 50% off on gourmet chocolate brands. And last year, Amazon cut up to 31% off several big brands, like Ferrero, Kinder, Dove Chocolate, and Ghirardelli.

Want to opt for fruit instead of chocolate, or in addition to it? There's a chance warehouse stores like Sam's Club could offer items like a fruit-and-sweets tower for $30 again this year. In 2022, this tower came with apples, pears, brownies, chocolate-covered caramels, and other items.

Mother's Day Sales on Nontraditional Gifts

Flowers and jewelry are great gifts, but you might want to think outside the box for Mom this year. For example, if your mom is tech-savvy, she might appreciate a new device, and there should definitely be deals to find. Amazon took up to 56% off tablets, eBook readers, smart home devices, and other tech items around Mother's Day last year, while eBay cut up to 55% off Facebook Portal devices.

Is your mom the crafty type? Consider checking out companies like Cricut, which took up to $170 off machines and 30% off materials in its Mother's Day sale last year. Maybe she enjoys grilling. In that case, watch for retailers like Ace Hardware to take up to $150 off. Does she enjoy DIY projects and home improvement? Home Depot could knock up to 70% off a variety of Mother's Day gifts once again this year.

Mother's Day Savings on Pampering Gifts

If getting your mom to slow down and treat herself is difficult, maybe buying her all the things she needs to do so could make it easier. Consider buying cozy slippers; Amazon discounted them by up to 49% last year. Or give her a new drinking vessel that's for her alone. Mother's Day themed tumblers, bottles, and cups is another category that Amazon highlighted last year, and they offered savings of up to 58% off.

Also watch for stores such as Carol's Daughter to offer sitewide sales, like 30% off a variety of body, hair, and skin care products. You can shop these items and put together a pampering-related Mother's Day gift basket for your mom, so all she has to do is use the products. Want to treat her to some luxury beauty items? Kiehl's could bring its Mother's Day sale back again this year. In 2022 they took 25% off and offered free shipping with $50 orders, too.

Mother's Day Flower and Plant Sales

Some moms are hard to shop for, and usually they're okay with just seeing you for Mother's Day. If you don't want to show up empty-handed — or your mom adores plants in general — then flowers are totally fine. 1-800-Flowers tends to have multiple sales related to Mother's Day, from early events to last-minute offers to help the procrastinators. Last year at different times, they offered arrangements from $25, 15% off select gifts, and up to 40% off flowers, plus treat baskets, sweets, and candles.

Does your mom prefer plants over flower arrangements? Watch for Amazon to offer deals on a variety of greenery around Mother's Day. In 2022, we saw a 15" peace lily for $19, a 20" Guzmania bromeliad for $28, and up to 40% off select live Costa Farms plants in general. Needless to say, if you want to gift your mom something green, there are plenty of options!
