We've all been there — You have known for weeks that Mother's Day is just around the corner, and suddenly the day is closer than you thought (this Sunday) and you still haven't picked out a gift!
Whether it just slipped your mind to purchase something ahead of time or you decided to give a last-minute gift, there are still plenty of things out there. Skip sending flowers - boring. Send her flowers when she least expects it (not on her birthday either). No matter where she is, the most important thing you can do for your Mom is to tell her you love her. If you want to do a little something extra, this list provides last-minute gifts that can still be thoughtful and unique.
Amazon Prime Membership: $39 for 3 months or $119 for a year
The gift of Amazon Prime is always a gift that will be met with great appreciation. It is both practical and thoughtful. If Mom already has a membership you don't know of, the membership will convert into a gift card that can be used on anything they want from Amazon.
Chocolate Covered Strawberries:
Always a sure winner in my book, these giant strawberries from Golden State Fruit are lavishly hand-dipped in premium dark, milk and cupid pink white chocolate, then decorated with heart sprinkles and chocolate drizzles for a heartfelt gift. All chocolate covered strawberries are packaged in Golden State's signature gift box with ice packs, then shipped overnight to ensure perfect arrival. Yum!!!
Kindles make the perfect last-minute gift for Mom's who love to read. Even if she swears by the feeling of a real book in her hands, once she see how much easier it is to travel with or just use around the house, she'll be grateful you gifted this to her. The Paperwhite is waterproof and has a back-lit screen with zero glare. It can be read outside or in bed with the lights out.
If you think the Kindle is an absolute no-go, the Book of the Month Club might be a perfect alternative. The subscription service narrows a selection of new releases down to five options, and then Mom will be able to choose which hardcover book she would like to receive each month. If there is nothing of interest for that month, you can opt out and wait until next months selection come out.
I love this idea. StoryWorth makes it easy and fun to write your memoir. You can keep your stories private, or share them with your loved ones. At the end of the year, Mom will have a memoir bound in a beautiful hardcover book.
The Details:
1) Each week, StoryWorth will send you questions you’ve never
thought to write about
2) You write a story each week, optionally shared with family
3) A year’s worth of stories are bound into a beautiful
keepsake book

My Mom is not a card person. She will either straight out tell me not to get her one or have my kids make her one. With that said, I would get her one of these cards from LovePop. They create beautiful laser-cut pop-up card designs for any and all occasions. They have 125 unique and beautiful Mother's Day cards to choose from.
