File this one under unique gifts for mom. Also, file it under Best Gifts for Under $100 because that's how we've actually decided to categorize it here. Enough dilly dallying though - coupon code "WEEKEND10" takes $10 off orders of $50 or more on the likes of edible bouquets, chocolate-dipped fruit boxes, and Mother's Day gift arrangements. No more need be said.

This is a little over $100 but we'll nonetheless allow it within this section of the article because it's a fine deal. A new bicycle isn't exactly a traditional Mother's Day gift but for the time being let us gently push tradition aside. Don't worry, it's still over there in the corner.

Best Home and Garden Gifts

Coupon code "25MDAY" is the key to getting an extra 25% off flowers. Before you buy your mother flowers though, do stop to think if any pets she keeps might be allergic to said flowers. Poor Mittens better not to come to any harm as a result of your flower carelessness - or else! In terms of last minute gifts for mom, flowers certainly work, however if you're trying to schedule a delivery very close to the big day itself (Mother's Day) you might well be out of luck as most delivery slots will likely have already been snapped up by better organized individuals. You got yourself into this pickle and now you must get yourself out of it.

Everyone loves coffee so it follows that a coffee maker would make for a suitable gift for your mother. Actually, I don't like coffee myself.

Away, to the next deal!

Best Jewelry Gifts

In fact, you shouldn't be sneezing at anything other than whatever object is being used to contain the germs within your sneeze, you filthy spreader of infections. And!

Nothing says "I love you mom" like something that literally says "I love you mom." In the case of this jewelry dish tray, you also get a bonus word in the form of "remember" preceding the core message, so that's good and surely adds extra value.

Best Electronics Gifts

Everyone needs to tell the time, even mothers. Scratch that - especially mothers. Therefore we can deduce that a watch, nay, a smartwatch would make a good gift for a mother and since it's a smartwatch it does things other than tell the time. Those things include but are not limited to always-on heart monitoring, exercise tracking, and as is visible on the above picture, wild and wacky watch faces.

Best Buy is a known seller of electronic goods and they have mercifully decided to discount a selection of such goods all in the name of Mother's Day.

These gifts take the specific form of AirPods, Amazon Fire TV sticks, various iPhone and iPad models, the Shark FlexStyle Air Styling and Drying System, plus much more.

Best Clothing Gifts

They're leather. They're pull-on. They're $22 less than the next best price we could find. They're quite possibly a great gift for a mother for Mother's Day.

Anyone who suggests handbags aren't among the best gifts for mom is a blasted liar. A liar, a snake, and most certainly a terrible shabaroon. This becomes doubly true when the handbags in question are up to 52% off with an extra 40% off for members like they currently are at Cole Haan. Above and Beyond Members also bag free shipping too and conveniently it's free to join. Excellent.
