Since Mother’s Day is coming up I thought I would do a gift guide specifically for moms. I find that as I grow older, I end up buying my mom more useful gifts since those are the ones she seems to enjoy most. In fact, this angry asian girl wallet I own pretty much sums up my mom:

hehe, I love my mom! I hope that you’ll find something fitting for your mom in this list:

Breakfast In Bed Bath & Body Set for $30 - Not enough time to make your mom breakfast in bed? Just buy her this bath set, it’s the next best thing.

Sleekstor VeggieSteam for $10.99 - My mom’s a cook and I think this steamer would be so useful! You just stick it in a pot and steam your veggies away. It’s flexible enough to fit in a variety of pots and also dishwasher safe.

Sprinkles Cupcake Mix for $14 - These famous cupcakes come in chocolate, lemon, red velvet, or vanilla. Bake your mom a batch. MMMM!

Prepara Herb Saver for $29.95 - I hate when my herbs go bad before I finish using them. I know my mom would appreciate this. We’re viet….parsley and other herbs galore!

Deodorizing Refrigerator Egg for $16.50 - Is your mom as obsessed as my mom is with cleanliness? keep her fridge smelling good with this hitech gadget. She won’t have to keep replacing her box of baking soda since this lasts for months and can be renewed by just heating it up in the oven for 30 mins.

Mom and Me Photo Frame For $29 - How cute would it be to put an old picture of your mom and yourself in this frame??

Personalized m&ms (price varies on packaging but starts at $3.99) - Is your mom an M&M lover? How perfect would this be! Each time she eats one, she’ll think of you.

Pouch Mug for $11.50 - This is so convenient if you drink tea from a tea bag. Buy a box of her favorite tea and you got yourself a great gift!

Vacu Vin Wine Saver for $9.99 - ok, so your mom’s a wine drinker instead? This will help keep her bottles of wine fresher longer.

Uncooked Mother’s Day Card for $2.50 - I love these cards. All of their Mother’s and Father’s day cards are on sale for $2.50 too!

Or a more serious card for $2.75 - Love the colors!
