10 Sam's Club Gifts Mom Is Sure to Love

The first official Mother's Day was celebrated 117 years ago. It's safe to say that families have spent a little time each year since then, hoping to find the right gift for the person they call "Mom." Whether it's a biological mother, adoptive mother, grandmother, aunt, family friend, or Dad who's taken on the role of mother, we all want to get it right.

Here, we look at gifts available at Sam's Club, each sure to make Mom happy.

Jewelry

A necklace is a gift Mom can keep forever, a constant reminder of your love for her. Naturally, though, you'll want to buy a gift that balances a memorial gift with your personal finances. Here are several ideas.

1. 0.25 CT. T.W. Diamond X and O Necklace in 14K Yellow Gold

Sam Club's price: $399

This pendant necklace features an X and O shape studded with white diamonds and hanging from a 14-karat gold chain. The 18" chain is designed to be worn alone or stacked with other necklaces. With an IGI appraisal of $700, this deal is pretty unbeatable.

2. 0.33 CT. T.W. Diamond Love Pendant in 14K Gold

Sam's Club price: $599

Instead of an X and O, on this pendant necklace, you'll find the word "love," written out in cursive and covered in 0.33 carats of diamonds. The lobster lock chain is adjustable to 16", 17", and 18", making it perfect for layering.

3. Sterling Silver and Diamond Identity Necklace

Sam's Club price: $99

Part of the "Script Line" collection, this necklace features a word as its centerpiece, designed to let the world know who's wearing it. For example, you can get the word "Mama" or "Gigi" for the special mother (or grandmother) in your life. With words written in elegant script, the necklace is made of 925 sterling silver and covered with white diamonds that have been assessed and certified by the International Gemological Institute (IGI). The sturdy lobster claw clasp secures a chain that can be adjusted to 16" or 18" in length.

Fragrances

Whether you're looking for a new bottle of Mom's favorite scent or want to give her the chance to try something new, Sam's Club has several great options.

4. Yves Saint Laurent Libre Eau de Parfum, 1.0 fl oz

Sam's Club price: $65

Sephora at Kohl's price: $95

It's tough to describe a smell, but featuring lavender essence from France Yves Saint Laurent Libre Eau de Parfum includes orange blossom, musk accord, and vanilla for a warm, memorable scent.

5. Versace Bright Crystal Eau de Toilette, 3.0 fl oz

Sam's Club price: $58

Ulta price: $110

Versace's reputation for high-end apparel extends to its fragrances. Bright Crystal Eau de Toilette features pomegranate, peony, magnolia, lotus flower, amber, musk, and notes of yuzu, a citrus fruit valued for its aromatic flavor. In short, it's a fresh floral scent perfect for everyday wear.

6. Marc Jacobs Perfect Eau de Parfum, 1.6 fl oz

Sam's Club price: $80

Macy's price: $106

This Marc Jacobs spray features a lovely floral fragrance with notes of daffodil, almond milk, cedarwood, rhubarb, and the warm, woody, musky scent of cashmeran. It's just different enough to create a truly memorable fragrance.

Fortunately, any of these lovely fragrances can be purchased without busting your household budget.

Experiences

Would you rather find an experience Mom can enjoy on her own or share with the people she loves? Why not consider a discounted Sam's Club gift certificate? Here are a few easy ideas.

7. Darden $75 Gift Card Multi-Pack, 3 for $25

Sam's Club price: $72 for $75 worth of gift cards

The Darden $75 Gift Card Multi-Pack features three $25 cards that can be used separately or together. These physical gift cards can be delivered to your home in four to 10 business days. Darden gift cards can be redeemed at any Olive Garden, LongHorn Steakhouse, Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen, Bahama Breeze, Seasons 52, or Yard House restaurant in the U.S. They can be used for online-to-go orders, catering, or dine-in meals, whichever your mother would prefer.

8. Cold Stone Creamery $30 Gift Card Multi-Pack, 3 for $10

Sam's Club price: $30 worth of gift cards for $21

These are also physical gift cards that require four to 10 business days to be delivered. However, if Mom is a "go out for ice cream" kind of person, she'll likely adore the fact that you're making it so easy for her to pick up fresh ice cream, cakes, smoothies, shakes, or whatever her heart desires. The fact that you enjoyed $9 off the total price can be your little secret.

9. Starbucks $30 Gift Card Multi-Pack, 3 x $10

Sam's Club price: $30 of gift cards for $28.98

If your Mom enjoys a good cup of Joe and regularly stops by Starbucks for a drink, why not make it easier on her by providing her with three physical gift cards, each worth $10? Your mother can use the cards to make purchases at participating stores, online, or through the Starbucks app.

10. Flowers

If you regularly order flower arrangements, you've no doubt noticed that service fees and shipping can cost more than the actual arrangement. That's not the case at Sam's Club. You find an arrangement online that you like, and that's the price you pay. As long as you're a Sam's Club Plus member, you won't be hit with shipping charges -- at all. It's that simple.

Of course, if you're not a Plus member, you can always go into a Sam's Club warehouse, find an arrangement that strikes your fancy, and take it with you. While there are those who think flower arrangements are silly because they eventually wilt, the rest of us are touched by the thoughtful expression of love.

If Sam's Club isn't normally your go-to for Mother's Day, perhaps it should be. After all, what other store has so many products to choose from, one sure to make Mom smile? If you see a gift idea online that you're wild about, we recommend you call ahead to ensure it's carried in-store or order it online. Truly, there are very few ways to buy the perfect Mother's Day gift without draining your bank account, but Sam's Club gives you options.
