Last week, we introduced you to some of our favorite Mother’s Day picks for new moms. Now it’s Saturday, which means that if you’re still sitting on your hands, you might be out of luck. Still, your mother is probably a great one, and many of our deals are continuing throughout the weekend. We added a few more deals that we love that might surprise and delight your mom (on Monday). We also tried to include ones with fast shipping.

The New Kindle Paperwhite is $40 Off
In my gift guide for new mothers, I said that approximately 100 percent of us own a Kindle. It’s light, convenient, and makes it easy to sneak in a few pages in a dim room before going to bed. This is an incredible deal on the new, waterproof Paperwhite that has twice the storage of the old one, a front that’s flush with the bezel, and is compatible with Bluetooth headphones to read books on Audible. Once you’ve bought one for Mom, buy one for yourself. We wrote a separate post on this and other Amazon Deals this weekend. Check it out to learn more.
The new Kindle Paperwhite costs $90 ($40 off)

Thule Crossover Backpack for $112 ($28 off): I haven’t written a review of this yet, but I love Thule’s bright interiors and protective SafeZone compartments for fragile items. Everything at Shoes.com is currently 20 percent off through May 12 with code MAY19.

Withings Steel (White) for $90 ($40 off): Withings watches look beautiful and have basic smart features in them. Best of all, they run off of regular watch batteries and don’t need recharging. Most of their watches are on sale. We recommend the Steel White.
