Mother's Day Gifts for Under $50

Okay, getting a little higher in price now but your mom's worth it, right? Check out the fantastic Mother's Day Gift ideas we have for under $50 (most are hovering around $30).

Top Mother's Day Gifts for $50 (and Under)


Deruta Mugs ($27-$34 depending on size and design)


Like all of our Deruta items these mugs are dishwasher and oven safe. Forget the knockoffs, these authentic, hand painted pieces from the original factory in Deruta, Italy. Is Mom an art or history buff? She'll love the "Raphaelite" design (below). That little figure is said to have first been depicted by the legendary artist Raphael. 

Oil Cloth Market/Beach Bags ($27)



Each of these over-sized totes has been on a journey. The fabric is made in Europe and then imported stateside where it's sewn into the large bags you see above. As the name suggests, each bag also has a special "oil" coating (it feels like acrylic) that make these the absolute best beach bags. Sand get everywhere? Just wipe it off!


Polish Teapot (Staring at $48)






Store owner Jenean has tested these beautiful, hand painted tea pots at home. According to her they keep tea hot without making the outside of the pot scalding, poor pleasantly and serve as instant attention-getters. Did your mom ditch java beans for tea bags? Than these beautiful pieces are the perfect gift.

Sarasota Mothers Day Gifts for $20 (and Under)

Mother's Day this year is May 13. Do you have something special planned for the most important woman in your life? I was going to send my mom to Broadway to see Darren Criss in "How To Succeed in Business Without Really Trying"...except he left the show four months ago. Left with three weeks to find the perfect gift (that doesn't require a plane ticket) I turn to the trusted European Focus Village. For the next few weeks we'll feature Mother's Day gifts for every budget. It's the perfect place to find a gift in Sarasota will ship anywhere in the country.

Handmade Soy Flakes - $6 each



Just one tablespoon of these soy flakes (which are hand crafted in Sarasota, FL) will release scent for eight hours when heated. Lemon Verbena is a delicious scent that reminds me of the sweetness of the Lemon Chalet Cremes from the Girl Scouts. Plumerian Lei is like walking into a spring garden. The hot plate burners are also available for $20.00. 

Devi Watches - $20 each



Brightly colored watches are the must have accessory for summer! In addition to the bold colors we also carry a line of bangle watches that have been very popular among the women of Sarasota. A beautiful accessory your mother will love. 

Sticky Notes - $12.50



Remember when you were young and your mom used to leave notes in your lunch? Now you can repay the favor with these delightful sticky notes from Cavallini & Co. Each pack breaks apart for several different sizes of adhesive note pads.
