2025 Mother's Day Gift Guide (+7 Gift Ideas for Mom to Support Your Community)

It's hard for me to believe, but Mother's Day is just 1 month away! Given the current eco-political situation here in the U.S., many of us are trying to curb unnecessary spending and be mindful about what we're supporting—so I've changed the format of this annual gift guide a little bit for this year.

I've compiled some Mother's Day gift ideas, all for under $100, in my 2025 Mother's Day Gift Guide below. (For even more gift ideas for Mother's Day, be sure to check out my 2024 Mother's Day gift guide and 2023 Mother's Day gift guide!) 

Additionally, I've added a list of 7 thoughtful Mother's Day gifts that will also support small businesses, local organizations, and sustainability efforts in your area. I've included Rochester, NY gift recommendations for local readers, but please use these ideas as a jumping-off point for your own search!
