Bethenny Frankel’s Mother’s Day Gift Recommendations

When it comes to product recommendations, Bethenny Frankel reigns supreme. Whether she’s posting her take on TikTok or sharing her latest obsessions on The List (her personal curation of products), the self-made entrepreneur, influencer, and philanthropist is deep in the game of providing honest reviews across all categories, including beauty, fashion, home decor, and more.

With Mother’s Day around the corner, we asked Frankel for budget-friendly gift recommendations that she herself loves. Her picks include affordable versions of popular luxury fashion finds, bodycare that’s perfect for everyday, and even a customizable option that we know will have mothers feeling extra cared for. 

Bethenny Frankel-Recommended Mother’s Day Gifts

Ovekaut Skinny Leather Belt

Available in over 20 cool color combos, this skinny leather belt instantly adds a chic finishing touch to any outfit. Jeans and a white tee? Elevated. Long dress or jacket? Cinched. Frankel has all of the people on her team swooning over it because it legitimately looks designer without the hefty price tag. “This belt pulls it all together,” she told Real Simple. “It’s sleek, stylish, and under 30 bucks. You’re welcome.” Plus, it’s flattering on many body types since it’s adjustable, and you can wear it comfortably around your waist or lower on your hips. 

Mcmcncuiu Crystal Vase

Flowers are always the sweetest gesture. This Mother’s Day, kick it up a notch by buying your favorite mother figure a beautiful bouquet and this stunning geometric vase, which Frankel loves because it  “looks like it costs $300, but it doesn’t.” She adds, “I always like gifting a nice vase and adding flowers because it feels very special and luxe.” Available in four sizes and six different colors (how cute is the soft pink?), there’s truly a vase option to match everyone’s vibe. As a peony lover, I know any long-stemmed flower would look amazing housed in this beauty. It’ll serve as a centerpiece that always reminds her of you.

Gyreuni Store 5-Piece Round Pizza Stone Set 

Of course we all wish we could gift our mamas a full-blown kitchen reno—and Frankel knows it. “This is for the mom who wants a kitchen upgrade without you having to pay for a new kitchen. It’s functional and sleek, and yes, it actually makes a difference in your pizza,” she says. “I use the pizza stone to make my cottage cheese bagels, and they come out crispy and golden. You can check out the full recipe on The List.” Not only does it come with the 13-inch, easy-to-clean pizza stone that makes frozen pizza taste freshly made, you also get lots of extra bells and whistles, including a solid wood pizza paddle, a serving rack, and a pizza cutter. Food is love, and this gift gets your mom one step closer to dreamy pizzas, sourdough, flatbreads, biscuits, and more. Bon appetit!

Salt & Stone Body and Hair Fragrance Set

Fragrance is notoriously hard to buy for others because it’s so personal. But this unisex mist—with notes of warm sandalwood, crisp violet leaves, and earthy vetiver—smells so incredible, we guarantee it’s a gift everyone will love. “It’s a spa in a bottle. The santal scent is sexy and smoky—I can’t get enough,” says Frankel, who, if you follow her on Tiktok already know, smells a lot of fragrances. Founded in Los Angeles by a pro snowboarder, Salt & Stone is beloved for its commitment to sustainability. Yes, the fragrances smell amazing, but they’re also good for your skin with nourishing ingredients like kelp, seaweed, and spirulina. Plus, the packaging is created from upcycled ocean plastic, and the brand is Leaping Bunny Certified. The bottle is minimal yet it screams self care and would make any mom feel special. 

L’Ange Hair GlamWave Infrared Thermal Ionic Brush

Is there a better gift than endless good hair days? (We’ll wait.) While a trip to the salon is lovely, giving your mom something she can use to mimic a salon blowout at home is a real treat. “A one-stop shop; this brush smooths, shines, and gives you that bounce that makes everyone think you just got a blowout,” says Frankel. This cool tool works on dry hair (so you can air-dry or rough-dry your locks prior to using). Glide the heated brush through strands to instantly add volume, smooth frizz, and boost shine—all without the heat damage or tiring out your biceps. The cherry on top: The ceramic-coated barrel releases negative ions to actually lock in moisture, so your hair looks hot and healthy. 

Kusshi Neoprene Train Case Makeup Bag

For the mom who loves makeup, this adorable neoprene train case will have her gushing. It has handy pockets and mesh pouches, so you can always easily find your faves. And as any makeup bag is destined to get dirty, this one is machine-washable for easy cleaning. “This bag is sleek, organized, and fits everything without becoming a black hole. It’s makeup storage for grown-ups,” Frankel raves. Available in two sizes and three colorways (Mauve, Blue Pearl, and Sag), the case even has a protective cushion to prevent any compacts cracking if you accidentally drop it. If your mom does her makeup often, she’ll love upgrading her current case and will think of you every time she gets ready. 

Journee Flat Sandals

With summer right around the corner, trendy new sandals are on everyone’s wish list. And of course Frankel spotted the perfect pair for under $50. “These are comfortable, cute, and won’t leave mom cursing in the middle of brunch,” she shares. “These go with everything. Total no-brainer.” The simple design slip-on, square toe flats can take you from the beach to dinner to the office, and they even have a built-in foam sole to keep you comfy and an interlocking strap made of patent vegan leather to keep you cute. Talk about happy feet. You can shop them in 17 stunning colors, from soft neutrals to bright neons, and in sizes 5.5 to 12 wide.

AlexandersAgape Monogrammed Pillowcases

New bedding is always a dreamy gift, but when the piece is personalized? Well, you just won Mother’s Day. “These pillowcases are luxe, personal, and under $30! Yes, please. This is the perfect gift for the sentimental mom, the beauty sleep queen, or anyone who loves personalization,” Frankel says. With over 1,200 five-star reviews, this gift is one your mom will cherish for years to come. You’re bringing fancy hotel vibes to everyday life, and you can choose from dozens of colors to have her monogram stitched onto the soft brushed microfiber pillowcases. Your mom has probably spent many nights losing sleep over you—now you can give her a pretty spot to rest her head and have sweet dreams.

Saodimallsu Crochet Cover Up 

If your mom loves to sit pool-side, this long sleeve knit swimsuit coverup will have her looking cute all summer long. “Beach, pool, lunch… this cover-up does it all,” according to Frankel. “It looks expensive, but doesn’t cost a fortune.” It comes in eight colors and sizes small to XX-large, and the open weave design will keep you looking and feeling cool, calm, and collected on sweaty summer days. The low back, bell bottom sleeves, and mesh fabric look fashionable and fun. Maybe it’ll even inspire a tropical vacation (where you can join her!).
