File this one under unique gifts for mom. Also, file it under Best Gifts for Under $100 because that's how we've actually decided to categorize it here. Enough dilly dallying though - coupon code "WEEKEND10" takes $10 off orders of $50 or more on the likes of edible bouquets, chocolate-dipped fruit boxes, and Mother's Day gift arrangements. No more need be said.

Kent Bicycles 700c Women's RoadTech Road Bicycle for $128 (save $70)

This is a little over $100 but we'll nonetheless allow it within this section of the article because it's a fine deal. A new bicycle isn't exactly a traditional Mother's Day gift but for the time being let us gently push tradition aside. Don't worry, it's still over there in the corner. While tradition watches on in confusion, in its place is the radical new concept of bike gifting for Mother's Day.

Even if it doesn't catch on, you'll still have saved $70. You'll always have that.

Best Home and Garden Gifts

Mother's Day Sale at 1-800-Flowers: Extra 25% off

Coupon code "25MDAY" is the key to getting an extra 25% off flowers. Before you buy your mother flowers though, do stop to think if any pets she keeps might be allergic to said flowers. Poor Mittens better not to come to any harm as a result of your flower carelessness - or else! In terms of last minute gifts for mom, flowers certainly work, however if you're trying to schedule a delivery very close to the big day itself (Mother's Day) you might well be out of luck as most delivery slots will likely have already been snapped up by better organized individuals. You got yourself into this pickle and now you must get yourself out of it.

Bodum 51-oz. Brazil French Press Coffee Maker for $18 (save $18)

Everyone loves coffee so it follows that a coffee maker would make for a suitable gift for your mother. Actually, I don't like coffee myself. If I don't like coffee then it can't be said that everyone likes coffee and so your mom might not actually like coffee. The premise of this entire paragraph has fallen apart in record time. Away, to the next deal!

Best Jewelry Gifts

Coach Iconic Padlock Tennis Bangle Bracelet for $63 (save $62)

HOME SMILE Ceramic Ring Dish Jewelry Tray for Mom for $10.87 (save $3)

Nothing says "I love you mom" like something that literally says "I love you mom." In the case of this jewelry dish tray, you also get a bonus word in the form of "remember" preceding the core message, so that's good and surely adds extra value.

Best Electronics Gifts

Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 40mm Smartwatch for $218 (save $82)

Everyone needs to tell the time, even mothers. Scratch that - especially mothers. Therefore we can deduce that a watch, nay, a smartwatch would make a good gift for a mother and since it's a smartwatch it does things other than tell the time. Those things include but are not limited to always-on heart monitoring, exercise tracking, and as is visible on the above picture, wild and wacky watch faces.

Timberland Women's Skyla Bay Leather Boots for $35 (save $22)

They're leather. They're pull-on. They're $22 less than the next best price we could find. They're quite possibly a great gift for a mother for Mother's Day.

Cole Haan Handbag Sale: Up to 52% off + extra 40% off for members

Anyone who suggests handbags aren't among the best gifts for mom is a blasted liar. A liar, a snake, and most certainly a terrible shabaroon.

Above and Beyond Members also bag free shipping too and conveniently it's free to join. Excellent.

What are some particularly thoughtful Mother's Day gifts?

All Mother's Day gifts are thoughtful but some may appear more thoughtful than others.

• Go the extra mile and along with candles and nice bath smell stuff, include slippers, a blanket, and a robe, to complete the experience.

• Plants and gardening doohickeys for the chlorophyll obsessed mom.

• Chopping boards, aprons, and various other kitchen and cooking supplies for the cooking inclined mother. Like the best of gifts, you may even benefit from this in the form of free food. Yay!
