13 Last-Minute Mother’s Day Gift Ideas That Your Mom Will Love

As a self-proclaimed (and often apologetic) procrastinator, I often find myself floundering around trying to find gifts at the very last minute. And when it comes to Mother’s Day, this is especially true—considering both my father and brother often forget to purchase gifts ahead of time, too. Of course, I never want my mom to know we waited until days before the holiday (even though she totally knows), so I have adapted my search strategies through the years and become an expert at finding amazing last-minute Mother’s Day gifts. And while this is a skill I can’t really put on my resume, it’s something that comes in handy at least once a year.

In the age of the Internet, finding a gift my mom will actually like on a website is much, much easier than having to search stores all across town. And while I do enjoy a good shopping spree, sometimes you just need to quickly order something online and have it sent in a matter of days. Mother’s Day is quickly approaching, people, so now is the time to pick out a gift for your mama—and maybe even splurge for expedited shipping. (The biggest downside to waiting until the last minute to purchase a gift is having to occasionally pay extra for shipping. We made our beds, and now we have to lie in them, I guess.)

Luckily for you, though, I’ve rounded up 13 ridiculously cute and useful gifts your mom is sure to love, from beauty buys to fashion goodies and more. You can order each of them online—many of which have cheap or expedited shipping. You’re welcome—and have them sent directly to your mom’s door. If the package is late, you can always blame it on unexpectedly slow shipping. Your mom never has to know you waited until the last minute.
