Mother’s Day is only one month away! And while 30 days might seem like an eternity, don’t kid yourself. You know how quickly time flies. So do yourself a favor and start shopping now, and then when May 11th rolls around you can avoid the panic attack and existential crisis that ensues because you forgot to buy mom a gift! Make it a gift that counts without spending an arm and a leg with a little help from the Frugal & Thriving team. See our Mother’s Day gift guide below.
1. Is it even if a gift guide if it doesn’t include a blanket? This throw blanket is cozy and warm, just like a hug from mom.
2. Smooth skin is in! This body care set of bestsellers from Osea will have her feeling hydrated and refreshed.
3. The only recipe you need! This cute cutting board breaks down all the ingredients of a mother’s love.
4. Because cheetah print + on-the-go tumbler = the perfect gift. Is it water or is it wine?? We’ll never know.
5. And for the days of outdoor day drinking, these pretty mesh wine glass covers will keep the pests away. Well, the airborne ones at least. For the others you’ll just need another bottle of wine.
6. This super sweet personalized book will show mom just how much she means. It’s a sentimental way to let her know how grateful you are for her.
7. “Best Mama.” Pretty much sums it up. These comfy slippers will be her go-to around-the-house footwear!
8. Tea time! These adorable handwoven tea bags with decorative tags are the perfect way to bring a little glamour to her afternoon cup of tea.
9. There’s nothing quite like a handwritten letter, and this shareable letter book is one that can be passed down through the generations. It’s the gift that keeps on giving.
10. What’s that smell?! Oh, that’s just mom wafting by and smelling like the absolute goddess she is. This hair and body mist is a cult favorite for a reason.
11. The tote that says it all. Great for groceries, work essentials, travel, and more, this fun tote can be stuffed with mom’s favorite goodies for an added bonus.
12. From morning to night, this coffee and wine set has got mom covered. Whether she needs caffeine or alcohol, she’s got it.
13. Darling daisy pjs for the most darling mother in the world. This soft-knit set is totally acceptable to rock all day. Loungewear for the win, right??

Fall is my all-time favorite season of the year, and where I live, the first sign of the incoming fall season is the whiffs of the local tomato factory just one mile away that gets me craving pizza or pasta…I’m salivating just thinking about the scent! I look forward to all of the fall things – the festivals, the activities like apple and pumpkin picking, opening the windows for that crisp, cool air and of course — the fall fashion. Fall means trading in the flip-flops for closed-toed footwear! Check out these fall season footwear looks to match!
Riding boots (similar) used to be my go-to back in the day. I personally need to have a wide calf option and they’re harder to come by, but I always had the classic black and a brown pair to be able to switch it up. They’re such a fall staple and perfect to wear for all of the fall festivities, especially the ones that involve messier outdoor terrains! Pair them with some leggings and a casual or dressy sweater (similar) and you’re good to go!
Ahhhh my current favorite… the classic ankle booties (similar)! There’s nothing like a nice suede and a good thick block heel to elevate your stride if you’re on the shorter side like me. You can wear them for all of the fall occasions, whether it’s casual or even a dressier look if that’s your goal too. I have weaker ankles, so I love the added support around the ankle area that they have. These can be paired with a cute dress and jean jacket, but I loooove grabbin’ the perfect pair of jeans with a nice undershirt and a faux suede jacket!
Chelsea boots – a comfy and casual and close-fitting ankle boot, typically with elastic side panels…they are an easy on/off option. Perfect for a rainy or chilly overcast day, running errands, or an impromptu lunch date with friends. Keep it super chill with jeans, a plain white tee and a jean jacket (similar) to complete the outfit.
Another type of bootie would be the easy on/off slip-on boot (similar) or sometimes also called a “shoetie.” It’s basically a bootie without the zippers on the side. Sleek looks can be created with these – they’re good for the office, and also happy hour or date night afterwards. Paired with dark jeans, a dark tee and a neutral-colored oversized cardigan, these are a staple item for the fall season for sure!
The wedge boot…I love a good wedge! I have so many variations of the wedge, I literally have a wedge for every season! Casual but chic is how I would describe this style of wedge, as they stand out and would be considered the statement piece of the outfit, especially when paired with a light-colored jean and lighter sweater during those beginning weeks of fall.
