20 Pick-Me-Up Mother's Day Gifts 2020 — All Under $40

Even amid uncertain times, as we all navigate the new normal that is COVID-19 pandemic, we can still celebrate those dearest to us — yes, we're talking about our dear ole moms — even if we won't be able to see them in person. This Mother's Day will certainly go down as one we'll never forget; for many, it will be our first Mother's Day in quarantine lockdown, far from those love (or in theory: so close, yet so far...) — but we can still find something special, a small pick-me-up, for Mom online and send it her way. Perhaps she can open it while on a Mother's Day Zoom celebration? Either way, she'll certainly appreciate the thoughtfulness amid a Mom's Day unlike any other. Next year: together.
