We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page. Because no one appreciates a thoughtful bargain more than mom-shaped humans. 1. A Daise rose and sandalwood body mist to give them a new daily go-to that reviewers say smells clean and lasts all day without being overpowering. Plus, the shape is so cute and a perfect way to still give the moms in your life their flowers without giving them actual flowers. Target Promising reviews:"I love how fresh this smells, like clean linen mixed with sandalwood. My favorite spray scent so far. Cute flower shape." — Stefany "It has such an elegant smell, low-key soft floral rose, and low-key warm, earthy sandalwood. This delicate fragrance is calming and sophisticated, perfect for an everyday scent." — Sarah 2. A birdhouse art kit so the kiddos in their life can contribute to the gifting, too! (Plus, it's gonna buy you at least 15 minutes of happy painting time, so that's a win-win in my book.) Target Look, all I'm saying is if a kiddo painted this for me and it was stuffed with Ghirardelli chocolates, I'd be one happy camper. "OMG, so cute! Totally sturdy, too!" — AllyP Price: $6.99 3. A delightful croissant clip-on pouch to make their life simpler and cuter. No more rustling around in their bags to find their fave lip gloss or their ID. It's super handy in this lil' pastry-perfect sidekick! Target Promising review:"I really like attaching the pouch to the inside of my handbag. I dislike having to drag my wallet out for identification or debit cards all the time. This pouch keeps it all conveniently together and handy!" — CA 4. A set of three Rifle Paper Co. magnetic bookmarks so they can always know where they left off in their TBR, no matter the mother-y chaos surrounding them. Target If you want to pair one with a book they'll love, take this quiz and pretend to be your gift receiver to get the PERFECT rec! 5. A garden kneeler — HEAR. ME. OUT. Whether they're parents of small kiddos, grandparents, or they just spend a lot of time in the garden or obsessing over baseboards (🙋🏻♀️), they want this. Hardwood floors are beautiful but also a cruel mistress when it comes to getting down to play with littles. And you can save them from an aching-knees fate for less than the price of your morning coffee. Target Promising reviews:"It is a thick, lightweight pad. I use it inside, too, on the hardwood floor. I do wish they sold a larger one so one could sit on it, too. Totally recommend it!" — Karen " Purchased for my daughter to use while bathing her newborn for her knees! She loves it!" — JLN " This works very well. Sure, there are bigger ones, or softer ones, but for the price, this can't be beat." — Anonymous 6. A set of JLab wireless Bluetooth earbuds because if they are constantly losing, washing, or otherwise mismanaging their expensive pair, these are the ticket. Reviewers SWEAR BY them for durability and sound quality. (Just check out that 4.3-star rating with over 6,000 reviews!) Plus, they'll fit so cutely in their new croissant pouch! Target Promising review:" I bought these in December, and they are still charging, and still sound good after going through the washer TWICE. I thought I would need a new pair but after drying them and charging they are working fine. There might be a slight difference in quality, but nothing too noticeable based on what I use them for. If I need a new pair of earbuds in the future, I will definitely buy these again. 💯" — Salami 7. A stainless steel teapot if they are constantly offering you hot beverages or if they just love a spot of tea to unwind during their self-care time. Pair it with a Celestial Seasonings fruit tea sampler, and you've got yourself a thoughtful, won't-break-the-bank gift. 8. A perfectly springy green Crock-Pot slow cooker so they can make dips, simmer pots, and soups with the click of a button. Plus, the color is ~sublime~ which gives you, like, 15 gift-giver bonus points. Target If you want to make it a tad more personal, you can always include dry ingredients and a printed recipe for a spring simmer pot! 9. A lavender lemonade glass jar candle with a burn time of 50 hours and a sweet springtime scent that will have them smiling every time they light it. Throw in a rechargeable gooseneck electric lighter, and you'll be the belle of the gift-giving ball. Target 10. A framed vintage lemon print because when life gives you spring/summer citrus, frame them for the mom figures in your life for some on-trend LEMON CUTENESS. Target Seriously, lemons are everywhere this year, so if you've got someone on your list who is big into spring/summery vibes, Target has got you and your gift to-do's covered. Promising reviews:"Super cute picture. The picture and frame are well made. Overall, the quality is great, and the price is reasonable." — Meg "Love the bright yellow color on this art piece. Looks great in my living room." — Vinks Price: $32 11. A snuggly pair of slippers if you know their winter pair took a beating, and they could use a little pampering in the form of warm toes. Target 12. A packable straw tote perfect for their trips to spring farmers' market visits and any other sunshiny adventures. It's also Forest Stewardship Council certified, which means that it's made from wood in responsibly managed forests! Good for your mother and Mother Earth? Win-win. Target You can read more about the Forest Stewardship Council certification here! Promising reviews:"Love! Large and roomy and looks expensive." — Anon "Super cute and well-made. Folds flat for travel and is very spacious. Not structured, which I like, and I really like the darker straw color. I plan to use it for summer travel, beach, markets, etc." — Mandysb 13. A matted frame because we might be in the digital age, but who doesn't love getting an already-framed beloved photo they can put on their desk or wall? Target Promising review:"Very cute and loved that the circle added something different to my gallery wall. Good quality. Definitely thicker than your standard photo frame." — Josi 14. An ESW Beauty vanilla almond butter smoothie lip treatment they'll reach for again and again because not only does it help keep their lips in tip-top shape, but it also smells and feels divine. (And we all know that's *not* always the case when it comes to lip products.) Target Promising review:"I absolutely love this lip gloss. The smell is so lovely, like vanilla. It gives a beautiful neutral brown gloss, which I really love. It feels very nice and nourishing on and for my lips. Thank you for making this product vegan, which is overall a plus for me, and I know many others!" — Yael Yasha 15. A set of three potted plant ceramic mushroom buddies you can give all on their own or stick around that fiddle leaf fig you know they've been eyeing at the local plant nursery. Target Promising reviews:"These little guys look so adorable in our garden. They are perfect to make a cute little fairy garden area. The colors are perfection." — Screechies "So cute! They hold up well and don't tip over from being too heavy! Great quality and price." — Srsalty21 16. A set of solar LED outdoor string lights to bring a touch of whimsy to their al fresco spring nights. Just look at those little rattan light hats — they practically scream, "Spring!" At only twenty bucks a pop, this gift can be the light of their night, gifted with love from the light of their life. (Which is you, of course.) Target Promising review:"Great addition to my balcony seating area. Gives off a nice soft light in the evening. The solar charge does wear off overnight but recharges daily. I've had these up throughout the spring, summer, and fall with no problems." — Always Shopping 17. A sling crossbody bag so pretty and stylish it looks like you snagged it from Anthro, but without the Anthro price tag. This one comes with an adjustable strap for the perfect fit, plus plenty of easy-access zippered compartments so they can keep all of their essentials handy. Target Promising reviews:" I recently traveled out of town, and this crossbody was so helpful! I wore it with almost everything. So many compartments, and I was able to just throw it over me." — Mesha "I was looking for something to fulfill the need of carrying around my wallet, keys, phone, diaper, wipes, and a few snacks since my children are older now, and I don't want to carry around a giant diaper bag. This was perfect, and I really liked the style and material. As previously mentioned, if you are looking for something to hold a water bottle, the side pocket will NOT do that, but it works perfectly for hand sanitizer and sunglasses." — Jordan 18. A set of metal gardening tools that are rustproof, sturdy, and perfectly cute, so whether they *actually* plan to do some gardening or just want a few cute accessories for that outdoor workbench they're always meaning to use, you'll win the award for best gift-giver. Target The set includes a spade, a cultivator, and a bypass pruner. Pair this set with a seed starter and some heckin' cheap gardening gloves if you want to really give them a green thumb boost this Mother's Day! 19. A lightweight woven striped throw if they love that Kathleen Kelly You've Got Mail spring apartment vibe, but you don't love the hefty NYC price tag. Target Promising review:"Super soft throw that washes well. It has a great color, is warm but not too warm, and very pretty!" — CBerg Price: $35 20. A Tiny Tags 14-karat gold ion–plated ladybug necklace so they can top off every outfit with a bit of ✨sparkle✨ that is sure to add a touch of whimsy and sophistication no matter how comfy their outfit. Bonus points: You can add a card with the stellar line, "Sorry to bug you, but I just wanted to wish you a happy Mother's Day." You're welcome. Target Tiny Tags was founded by Melissa Clayton after the birth of her first son when she couldn't find the perfect "mommy" necklace and decided to make her own. What started out as a hobby has now become Melissa's life's passion, and boy, does it show! I'm OBSESSED with how dainty-cute (and giftable!) these are! Be sure to check out the cowboy boot, sunflower, and star if you want a peek at the ones sitting in my own cart. 21. A puffy, quilted lumbar pillow to help them get perfectly comfortable, no matter the activity — be it sleep, work, or reading, this pillow will be there to give them support and coziness just like they gave you support and coziness. A full-circle gifting moment. Target Also, this and the striped throw would be such a cozy-book-nook-in-a-bag situation, especially if you throw a book in there, too. (Take this quiz and pretend to be your gift receiver to get the PERFECT rec!) Promising review:"I love this pillow! It is extremely firm and supportive for lower back support on the sofa and office chair! But the puffy design is so soft! It really supports and is also a great accent pillow! Wish it came in more colors!" — Teachermomva 22. A Lego daffodil kit Target Psst. Grab this cute tinted vase so they have a spot to show off their handiwork! Promising review:"This daffodil Lego set was fun and easy to assemble. It probably took me about half an hour to 45 minutes to put together. I took my time and had fun with it. The finished flowers are so cute and fun and are the perfect addition to spring decor in our house. The four finished flowers fit nicely in a vase and look so bright and cheery on our living room cabinet. 100% recommend getting these for a kid or an adult (or yourself!) as a fun spring activity/decor piece." — Sunshine 23. A floral trinket tray so they can spend less time hunting for earring backings and more time admiring their shiny dragon hoard of perfect spring and summer jewelry. Target Promising review:"I got the ivory/blue jewelry tray, and it's so cute! I would definitely recommend this jewelry tray if you're looking for something small that adds a pop of color to your space." — Jennifer Price: $8.50 (originally $10, available in two styles) 24. A star-shaped tea infuser because if their tea time is their "me" time, why not help make it as whimsical and cute as possible? Target Pair it with a loose-leaf tea sampler set and this sweet "best mom ever" mug to really up your gifting game! Price: $12.99 (originally $32.99) 25. A pair of ESW Beauty sheet masks that could accompany a spa headband and wrist guard set for an at-home spa day gift basket. The masks are designed for sharing, so there's one for you and one for them! Is there anything better than a joint Mother's Day self-care party? Target Promising reviews:"Absolutely love this set! The formulas are top-notch, and they include some of my all-time favorites in one convenient bundle. They stick really well, too, and don't dry out quickly. I was super excited to find these masks at my Target!" — Brit "I grabbed a few of these sheet masks for our monthly girls' night, and everyone loved them! The masks delivered a gorgeous glow, making our night even more special. Plus, the ingredients definitely feel way more premium than any other sheet masks I've tried in the past." — Katie Price: $8.99 26. A pair of sunglasses for all the warm weather days ahead when you know they'll always be hunting for a pair. (And these go with everything already in their closet!) Don't forget to grab a cute case to complete the gift! Target Price: $10.50 (originally $14) The reviews for this post have been edited for length and clarity.

‘They kept kicking my head': Fight at north Charlotte school causes injury, suspensions
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (QUEEN CITY NEWS) — Extra security was called to a Charlotte high school on Monday following a fight on campus, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools confirmed. The altercation happened Monday morning, March 3, at Mallard Creek High School, in the school's cafeteria. Students said a fight broke out among a group of girls, with one reportedly getting injured. New pilot program could help improve parking in two Charlotte neighborhoods Taleeya Daise said she was the target of the fight. In an interview with Queen City News, she said the incident started as a result of something with which she was not directly involved. She said the fight left her with a concussion, and her briefly wearing a neck brace after someone put their foot on her neck. 'All these girls had just (come up), one of them just hit me in my face,' said Daise. 'So then, I'm trying to defend myself at this point. And then a whole bunch of girls just start hitting me. And I got to the floor, and they kept punching my head and they kept kicking my head.' Daise said the resulting fight, even though she said she was the apparent target, led to a 10-day suspension for her and the others involved. CMS officials said they could not comment on student disciplinary actions. Charlotte man found guilty of wife's death by neglect: DA Below is the message sent to Mallard Creek families on Monday: Good morning Mallard Creek High families, this is Principal Thompson reaching out to inform you about a fight that occurred in the cafeteria this morning. This behavior is disruptive to the learning environment and is a violation of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools Code of Student Conduct. All students involved will be disciplined accordingly. I have requested extra security personnel on campus for the duration of the day. The safety and well-being of our students and staff is our top priority. Families, we ask that you continue to partner with us in creating a safe learning environment for all students by speaking with your child(ren) about appropriate behavior at school and reminding them about the consequences of their actions.
