For the Mom Who Loves Perfume
Mom might be very particular about her choices when it comes to perfume – I’m not sure what woman isn’t. But Clean’s Skin, Philosophy’s Amazing Grace, and L’Aromarine’s Vanille are 3 safe and popular choices for women that are sure to impress. My last pick, Salt Air, is one of the most favored within the Demeter Fragrance Library, and their extensive line features various sizes of bottles and fragrances that can be layered for customized fragrances at reasonable price points.
If you want more fragrance choices, Fragrance.com carries thousands of brand-name perfumes for discounted prices. A 1.7 oz bottle of my favorite Versace Eros Pour Femme is currently on sale for only $39.19! My mom’s personal favorite Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium is also on sale for $51.09.
For the Mom Who Loves Watches
If your mom is still rocking outdated watches, it might be time for an upgrade. With modern styles like oversized watch faces, leather straps and sleek ceramic, Mom will love a brand new watch, even if it isn’t a $200 Michael Kors.
For the Mom Who Loves Shoes and Handbags
If you know her shoe size (or can devise a plan to get it), a pair of classy Louboutin-inspired pumps or strappy sandals resembling Aquazurra’s “Wild Things” will make killer statements in her wardrobe. If she’s more of a handbag gal, a genuine leather dupe for Chloe’s mini Faye will take the cake. But don’t forget – a soft, quilted leather crossover bag inspired by Chanel is always a classic choice.

Or, if You Can’t Think of Anything Else: You Know She’s Probably Obsessed With Amazon
Okay, a 1-year subscription to Prime may be $99, but you can also get her 3 months for $33! I don’t know anyone who isn’t an avid fan of Amazon Prime – you get unlimited free 2-day shipping and sometimes even 1-day or same-day shipping, depending on what’s in your shopping cart. Amazon beats prices of competitors both online and in-store, making it one of the most convenient memberships you can get your hands on.
Also included with a membership is unlimited photo storage, access to Amazon Video AND Amazon Music, plus much more (you can read more about all the perks here). And then you can teach mom a few of my tricks on doubling her Prime subscription or even getting up to 1-year of Prime for free!
