Mother’s Day is all about showing your mom some love, and while we think handmade Mother’s Day cards are pretty darn cute, you know you can do better. We do, of course, recommend taking your mama out for a ridiculously good brunch in Chicago, placing an order at one of the top flower shops in Chicago or booking luxurious spa treatments for two at one of the finest spas in Chicago, but you’re also going to have to buy a gift, because that’s your mom, dammit! If you need a little inspiration, we’ve picked out some beautiful presents—all under $100—that will convince your mom that you are, truly, her favorite out of all your siblings.
