Hello, my fellow citizens of Procrastination Nation. If you're a new resident of this (fictional) country, then you know all too well that Mother’s Day is on Sunday, May 9, 2021. And you also know all too well that you. are. not. prepared! But don't freak out just yet—and don’t go order the same flower arrangement you bought her last year and call it a job well done either. (Your mom will be able to tell, trust.) There are still plenty of thoughtful and unique Mother's Day gift options available online that will arrive in record time.
After all, what is the internet good for if not for eleventh hour shopping? Idk, but let's be real: No one has time to scroll through website after website to find the perfect gift to wow Mom on her special day. You're looking for a last-minute gift for a reason—and, uh, not a *great* one. That’s why I've done the hard work for you and rounded up some of the best Mother’s Day gifts out there, from digital gift cards and subscription boxes (no waiting required!) to unique and cute home goods that ship fast, with plenty of time to spare.
Trust me, there’s something here for every type of mom. Does she love trying new wines? Give her the gift that keeps on giving: a Winc subscription box gift card. Or maybe she’s the sentimental type—cue this sweet heart-shaped necklace engraved with "Mom" from Kate Spade New York. (Word to the wise shopper: Amazon Prime members can snag two-day shipping on pretty much all of Shopbop's goodies, too.)
So, take a deep breath and start shopping. Here are the 50 best presents that will totally score you major points this Mother’s Day.
1. Sips by Tea Subscription Digital Gift Card
Maybe Mom enjoys a cuppa tea over a glass of wine? If so, she'll love discovering new premium teas from beloved brands around the world each month with a Sips by subscription. You can choose between gift cards good for three, six, or 12 months.
2. Winc Subscription Digital Gift Card
The best thing about a gift card from Winc? It puts Mom in total control of a gift she's guaranteed to love. All she has to do is take the wine subscription service's quiz to find the perfect vino to celebrate herself this spring and summer, and—voila!—it's at her door. The second best thing? You can get it right up until Mother's Day, and she'll never know you procrastinated.
3. FabFitFun Box Subscription
