Mother’s Day is May 10 this year, and if it tends to sneak up on you, we’ve got you covered with some last-minute gift pick-ups at everyone’s favorite grocery store: Trader Joe’s.
While mom probably wouldn’t like a bag of Mandarin Orange Chicken for Mother’s Day (or maybe she would, we don’t know!), there are all kinds of other TJ’s products that are appropriate for gifting. Here are some of the best Mother’s Day gifts you can grab at Trader Joe’s for under $10.
Almond Ginger Scent Oatmeal Exfoliant Bar
Mom will appreciate this bar of French milled soap made with bits of colloidal oatmeal for gentle exfoliating. The rich and spicy almond and ginger scent is perfect if she doesn’t like typical floral scents.
Blonde Bar
This dark blonde chocolate bar from Italy is made with caramel-flavored white chocolate studded with crumbled up sugar cookies. If mom loves chocolate but you think she wants something new, this is a great option.
Peony Scented Bath Fizzer
Mom deserves a soak in the tub without any distractions. These peony-scented (and shaped!) bath bombs will shimmer and fizz to help her relax and unwind before she has to deal with kids again.
Vanilla Lip Mask
Lip mask is like pumped up lip balm. It’s extra hydrating for when your lips are constantly chapped, and it’s made with shea butter, coconut oil, and vitamin E.
Dewy Skin Serum
Mom’s skin will glow with this Dewy serum. It’s got niacinamide and four forms of hyaluronic acid to help skin retain moisture and even out complexion. Plus, it’s in a gorgeous bottle.

Seasonal Bouquet
Trader Joe’s fresh cut flowers are one of its best kept secrets. Everything is so cheap compared to a florist — or even other grocery stores. Put together your own bouquet, or give mom one of the pre-made arrangements.
Waffle Weave Cotton Kitchen Towels
This may not be the prettiest kitchen towel you’ve ever seen, but it’s a kitchen workhorse, so moms who love to cook will appreciate it. They’re 100% cotton, and the waffle weave helps them absorb more than a typical kitchen towel.
Ultra Moisturizing Hand Cream
Every mom needs a tube of hand cream in her purse or glove compartment, and this popular product fits the bill. It’s made with coconut oil, hemp seed oil, and pure shea butter.

Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups
We will never be able to get enough of these dark chocolate peanut butter cups — they even won our peanut butter cup taste test. Tell mom to keep them in the fridge for an even more decadent treat.
Garden Party Scented Candle
It’s hard to go wrong with a scented candle gift. Right now the smell of the moment at TJ’s is a light springtime blend of lilies, palm leaves, and pear. It’s made of soy blend wax and has two cotton wicks.
Belgian Truffle Ballotin Box
A pretty little box of chocolates is always appreciated on any occasion, including Mother’s Day. There are eight different truffle flavors, including white hazelnut flowers, cappuccino milk chocolate cream, and milk chocolate caramel eclipse.
Hydrating Biocellulose Face Mask
Make a whole spa day package at Trader Joe’s and include this hydrating face mask. It’s made with coconut fiber derived material that’s thinner than the typical cotton, so it retains more fluid and sticks to your skin better.
Coconut Body Butter
This Coconut Body Butter is one of the top body products at Trader Joe’s, so you know it’ll be a win as a gift. It’s thick and smooth, made with aloe vera and coconut oil, and smells like a tropical vacation.
Chocolate Brooklyn Babka
This stuff is SO good. Soft white bread is swirled with deep, dark chocolate. It makes the breakfast toast of mom’s dreams, but it’s also good straight out of the package.
