Moms, whether they’re related to you or chosen family, make the world go ‘round. While mothers should be celebrated every day, not just on a Sunday in May, Mother’s Day is an good time to let all the moms in your life know you appreciate them. Perhaps your mom is your BFF or you’re honoring a friend who just had her first baby. Maybe your mother figure is a favorite aunt or mentor, or maybe you’re a mom looking to gift yourself this year. 

No matter your situation, you can find the perfect present for any mom with a little help from their astrological sign, from practical Virgos to over-the-top Leos. Let the stars help guide you to fun and thoughtful Mother’s Day gifts under $30 to treat any mom in your life on their special day.

Pisces (February 19 – March 20): Luxe body cream

Pisces are a warm-hearted, empathetic sign and should extend that same care to themselves, so treat the Pisces mom to a deliciously-scented, nourishing body cream from London Grant Co. Your loved one will be able to find a moment of self-care and connection with every use.

Aries (March 21 – April 19): Le Creuset prep bowls

A love of adventure and exploration are key traits of an Aries, so the Aries mom would love creating all sorts of fabulous dishes in the kitchen with the help of these cherry red silicone prep bowls. They’ll help anyone chop and prep like a pro, resulting in  a culinary masterpiece you can enjoy together.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20): Fancy body wash

A Taurus mom loves indulging in little luxuries, so this eucalyptus-scented body wash from Nécessaire is an ideal treat — especially if you’ve got a new mom in your life who may only have solo time in the shower these days. It’s a small but thoughtful gift that will leave your loved one feeling surrounded by glamour even when there’s spit-up… everywhere.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20): A classic candle

Cancer moms want to make their homes as welcoming as possible; much like the crab they’re named after, they find security and peace in their space and carry it with them wherever they may go. This throw from H&M Home comes in easy pastel shades to bring a dose of calm to any room.

Leo (July 23 – August 22): Cocktail glasses
