The clock is ticking; Mother's Day is this Sunday, May 10. Assuming you haven't already pored over our extensive Mother's Day Gift Guide, you might find yourself scrambling for something that doesn't rely on shipping -- which, as you've probably discovered, takes much longer than it used to. (Most Amazon items I buy these days arrive in about a week.)
Have no fear: I've rounded up some great last-minute Mother's Day gifts you can give almost instantly. Before we dive into those, however, let's start with the obvious: I'd argue that flowers are the single best Mother's Day gift. They're pretty like Mom, they smell nice like Mom, they brighten up the house like Mom. And even if you can't actually spend time together this Sunday, you can leave some flowers on Mom's porch and air-hug from a safe distance.
Like every small business, florists need help right now -- so find one that's open and buy your flowers there. If that's not a good option for some reason, here are some other ideas for Mom.
Etsy is like a giant craft fair that respects social distancing. The site is home to zillions of handmade items; with a gift card, Mom can pick out exactly what she wants.
Does Mom love to read? Why stop at a single book or magazine when you can gift her a huge supply of both? Scribd is a subscription service that costs $9.99 per month, a price that includes unlimited access to Scribd's library of ebooks, audiobooks, sheet music, magazine articles and more. You can give a three-month gift subscription for $25, six months for $50 or a year for $100.
Each FabFitFun box promises a mix of home, beauty, wellness and fitness products, all valued at $200 but priced at $50. Mom's first box won't arrive in time for Mother's Day, alas, but Mom will get an announcement card either via email or hand-delivered by you.
Think Mom might like cooking lessons from Gordon Ramsay? Or acting instruction from Natalie Portman? How about classes with expert gardeners? MasterClass is home to all that and more, and the deal right now is pretty solid: Buy one annual unlimited subscription for $180, get one free.
That could work out to one subscription for you and one for Mom, or one for Mom and another for whomever.
