Did you go overboard? No, that's impossible when buying gifts for your parents.
Would your mom and grandma appreciate less expensive and fewer gifts next year if that's all you can afford? Absolutely!
There is no right or wrong answer here. If you feel like you spent too much of your money on these gifts then that's fine. There's nothing you can do about it now, but next year don't feel like you need to spend so much. One small gift and a nice card can go a long way. Your mom will appreciate the effort without you bursting your wallet.

Only a girl can feel guilty about gift giving. Sweety, stop overthinking. You will have a much more enjoyable life.
No, you didn't overspend on Mother's Day by any means. Not even close. You did it with the best of intentions and that is all that counts.

Mother's day isn't just about gifts.. its not about how much money you spend.. its about giving love to your mother. I'm sure your mother won't care how much money you spent, she will be happy that you took the time and effort to make it a special day for her :)
but if you want my honest opinion.. a 13 year old spending 50 dollars for mothers day may be a little overboard. Don't be afraid to do something simple next time. What I did was made pancakes for my mom very early, served them to her "breakfast in bed" style. Bought her new perfume and make up, then took her out for the day to do whatever she wanted. She got to pick what to do. We went to the movies, then shopping, then ate ice cream outside :) went for a walk in the park, talked for hours and hours, laughed until we cried :) it was a great mothers day. And it didn't cost me much money :) the point i'm making is that.. you don't have to buy your mom's love. Mother's day can be priceless :) When you're older, you'll understand that its not just about the money and gifts.. its about showing someone you care and love them, whether its a hug and kiss, or giving them a surprise party or even doing the little things they love like helping them do the dishes. Its the little things that matter the most. never ever forget that..

I don't think you can ever go to overboard when you're buying gifts for your mum. I know any mother would be happy with a home made gift that didn't cost any money, but I know that my mum feels really special when I spend quite a bit of money on something for her. My mum does a lot for me and has spent a lot of money on me throughout my life, and being a single mum she doesn't get to spoil herself a lot, so I feel lucky that I'm able to do that sometimes; on mother's day or not.
I think it's very sweet of you to do that for BOTH your mother and grandmother. When it comes to our mummas, is it ever possible to spend too much on them?
Money is money, you'll always get more. The best part about having money is to be able to spend it on other people. So, no I don't think you went overboard. It is a lot of money for someone your age to spend, but I think it's incredibly kind of you to use it on your mother.
