I found out that my mother's day present didn't cost my husband anything... what should I do?
My husband bought his mom a perfume bottle last Mother's Day and it came along with a free tote. He gave his mother the perfume, and I got the tote!!! I checked online and figure it out that the tote was free!!! I asked him about it and he said he thought about me and gave me the tote! What should I do now? He didn't even look for a present for me but giving me that free tote from his mother's present!!!

Maybe give some free advice about: Gift Giving?
Comparing yourself to mom will never lead to good. It is the sign of a jealous person, who will slowly but surely kill her own relationship.
But, assuming you would have balked at the free tote had it come under any circumstance, I would ease up unless you are willing to forever open your father's day presents to your husband under similar comparison.

I hesitate to overstate the obvious here; your not his mother, your his wife. He is not obligated or required to by you a mothers day present.
My wife and I exchange cards on these days until we had children then we bought gifts for the children to give the appropriate recipient until the children were old enough to shop on their own. Then we went back to the card exchange.
We buy each other gifts on birthdays, our anniversary, Christmas and when we feel like for other reasons. Neither of us have ever felt it was appropriate to exchange gifts on Mothers Day or Fathers Day.
Regardless of what the retailers are trying to do with commercializing of the holiday, which is an event mostly created by Hallmark to sell greetings cards. It is a special day reserved to honor our mothers and fathers for everything they have done and do for us. If we are good marriage partners we honor each other in many ways all year long.

Why would you confront him like that? It could of been worse he could of gotten you nothing.
Your reaction is a bit harsh, Maybe he thought you would of loved the tote. Also, Why the heck would you even go ad look up a gift someone gave you? This sounds like you do not apprechiate much.
If my partner gave me a gift I would love it, I'd be thanksful. I would not confront the person to make them feel bad. Times are tough maybe he didnt have the money. Even if he did that is just wrong to put him down like that. If you love him then except him. Do not kill his pride by knocking him to his knees. Say thank you, Tell him you love it and stop being selfish.
Thats shallow

Who cares? Have you ever thought about 'ITS THE THOUGHT THAT COUNTS'.
You are lucky to even get anything. Some men don't even buy their wives things on Mother's Day.
Stop being selfish, and appreciate the gift. Who cares if it was FREE. Who cares if it isn't what you wanted. Stop being so unappreciative, before you're husband leaves you.
Men don't like women who are unappreciative, or women who are selfish and always looking for more.
What should you do now?
Be happy he got you something, REGARDLESS OF PRICE; and get over it.
You may not like my advice, but truth hurts. I mean, read your question from someone elses point of view.
Plus, you aren't his mother, MOTHER'S DAY is for people who are moms; your kids should have got you a gift, not really your husband.
so stop being so butt hurt over a FREE tote; his mom got the pricey gift, because SHE is HIS mom.
Jesus.
