Choosing a gift for Mother’s Day is rarely easy.  What do you get a person who just wants to see you, hear from you, and spend more time with you during a pandemic when visits are non-existent or few?

A small useful gift is usually the way to go for Mom.  So I pulled together five fabulous gifts — all of them under-$75 and most under-$30 — that any Mom would be happy to receive.  And if you buy one for yourself, that’s okay too.

Creative Co-op Terracotta Dish // There are only 19 of these lovely, versatile terracotta dishes left in stock.  I use mine to hold jewelry, bathroom litter (hello, bobby pins), desk clutter, and other little items that need to be corralled.  They’re one of the best things I have ever purchased, so if you miss out, be sure to sign up for a notification when they come back in stock.

Food52 Calamondin Tree // Calamondin has the easy peel flesh of a mandarin and the tangy taste of a kumquat.  The trees thrive in sunny indoor spaces, so you this countertop-sized tree is perfect for a kitchen or dining room.  It’s cheery addition to any space.

Siblings Candle Making Kit // Whether you choose Fresh Fig and Sandalwood, Bergamot and White Rose or another incredible scent, these candle-making kits would be a fun gift for the Mom who likes crafts.  Or you can choose the path of least resistance and send one of my favorite candles in Peruvian Lime.

Moonlight Short Pajamas // These are my favorite pajamas.  So soft.  So comfortable.  Don’t wear out in one wash.  Like a cozy hug at the end of the day.  They also come in a version with pants, a sleep shirt, and plus-size.

Saks Off Fifth Paperclip Bracelet // These wide-chain bracelets are everywhere right now, but you can’t usually find one as nice as this one for under-$20.
