Haven’t gotten anything for your mother’s Mother’s Day gift? Here are some great ideas, all of them affordable and all from Ikea:

For the coffee lover – BLOSSANDE is a set of coffee accessories with 3 different stainless steel stencils and 2 shakers. Simply shake the shaker that is filled with either cinnamon or chocolate powder over one of the stencils to make a lovely pattern on your morning latte. What a special way for the mother in your life to start her day off. They also could be used to sprinkle a powdered sugar design on cookies or cupcakes. $12.99

For the tea lover – RIKLIG is a tea pot with a tea infuser that is built right in. For those who love making tea from loose leaves this is the perfect pot. Add some premium hand-picked loose teas and you’ve got a great gift brewing. $12.99

For the cook – STIL is a tagine, a beautiful cook pot with a sturdy teflon coated bottom and a artistically designed stoneware cover. The traditional shape with the large cone cover allows all the condensation to return to the food for a moist and flavorful dish. The bottom is heavy duty and perfect for stove-top to table. $59.99

For the crafter – FÖRHÖJA is a wall shelf with glass drawers with a handle and pouring sprout. Great for buttons, beads, etc. Perfect for the scrapbooker, crafter or seamstress that like to stay organized. It would be fun to customize the shelf by painting or collaging it. $34.99

From the little kids – The SOMRIG vase in bright colors and kid friendly pricing these are really fun for the young child who wants to spend his/her own pocket money to buy something for mom or grandma. Get more than one vase to form a circle or wave pattern. Add freshly picked flowers and viola. $1.99 each.

For the coquette – The VÄNNA is a pretty mirror that can be hung horizontally or vertically in mom’s dressing area. The red flowers act as hooks to hang jewelry. We think that this gift would be particularly charming if accompanied by a little boxed gift, to fully demonstrate how those jewelry hooks really work. Ahem. $39.99

For the environmentalist outdoorsy night owl – The SOLIG solar-powered floor lamp is perfect for those ferocious readers who cannot put down a book. This solar powered lamp is perfect for late night reads under the stars. Preferably with a glass of wine.
