Promising review: "I got this worried that it would be like so many other back massagers I’ve tried previously. I was so happily surprised!! I actually bought it for my mom who has osteo and rheumatoid arthritis, and she loves it. Christmas morning everyone was taking turns sitting in her chair to use it. I’d also like to note that both my mom and I are massage therapists, so we’re very picky customers!! You won’t regret purchasing this." —Kate J.

Promising review: "Let me preface this by saying that my mom is a jewelry 'hound'! I bought this as a gift for my 90-year-old mother who has dementia. I thought it might bring a little ray of sunshine in her life on Mother's Day. She loves it so much that she wears it every day now because it is her favorite color and birthstone. She only takes it off when she goes to bed. She forgets that she has it until she sees it in the morning and all day long she tells me how beautiful it is. So I bought her the matching earrings for her birthday. She was over the moon with them both that I think she forgets that she has other jewelry she could wear. And when I show her the others she has, she only wants to wear those. And it really is such a beautiful piece of jewelry for the price. You can't go wrong with this little gem!" —Suze1976
Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in 15 colors).
9. A budget-friendly "I can't say I love you enough, so this is your reminder" sign for her to keep at her work desk when you're not around to remind her in person.
10. Some Blowfish Malibu sandals because she's been wearing the same summer shoes for how many years now? So she definitely deserves a brand-new pair.

Promising review: "When my mom-in-law opened the package, she had to take a moment as she teared up. She's not overly emotional, but this simple message in the dish tray really got to her. Don't stop at this trinket tray, you can pair it with a few other items that would make for a perfect gift ensemble. The dish fell as the cat kicked it from our coffee table but it remained intact, no breaks." —Every Creature Counts
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in eight variations).
12. A sentimental resin candle holder statue with a flickering LED candle that'll ~warm~ her heart. Bonus perk: It comes with a sweet card, so that's one less thing to worry about buying!

Promising review: "It is BEAUTIFUL!! I bought one for myself and for my mom for Mother's Day. I was so upset that I stumbled upon them a week before Mother's Day and they were scheduled to be made and delivered 8–10 days AFTER Mother's Day. But the AMAZING seller made them and shipped them SUPER FAST and they came two days before Mother's Day!!! I was so happy and GRATEFUL!!! My mom loved hers!! I love mine too! Thank you so so so much for realizing that I needed them for Mother's Day without me even having to message you and helping me to make my mom feel special like she deserves for Mother's Day!!!

Promising review: "Ordered these for Mother’s Day and was initially concerned by the labrador's image on the box. However, the GSD images were on the glasses inside and overall my mom has her two new favorite wine glasses now! Arrived on time and the box had plenty of supporting materials to ensure the glasses arrived intact." —JLC
