Last Minute Mother’s Day Ideas
If you procrastinated getting your Mother’s Day gifts and now Mother’s Day is RIGHT around the corner (it’s coming up SO quickly – THIS Sunday, May 10 – by the way!), you are probably getting a little desperate for ideas. And if your mom doesn’t live near you and your gift has to be shipped – then you’re REALLY feeling the heat about now!
Here are 10 down-to-the-wire Mother’s Day gifts you can get mom today and gift her tomorrow. All but one of these gift ideas will work for a mom who lives far away, so you can pretend you had it all together all along 😉
1. Giftcard Bouquet
Last year PPP Team Member Alice gave her mother-in-law the gift to shop and eat at all her favorite places! (How sweet is that?) She picked up her favorite giftcards and turned them into a cheerful bouquet using a Dollar Tree pot and greenery, and wooden bamboo skewers and the foam flowers from Hobby Lobby. So cute and practical!
FRUGAL TIP: Alice purchased her giftcards at Kroger because they’re running a special where you get 4X Kroger Fuel Points on Giftcard Purchases – so smart!
2 . Special Photo Gift
Did you can order a photo gift, collage or enlargement from Walgreens.com and have it set for same-day pickup where your mama lives? (Of course if you live in the same town you can frame it too!). It’s easy to do, and a great way to show mom you’re thinking of her, even though you’re far away.

3. Storyworth
Storyworth is the ultimate last-minute meaningful gift for Mom! She’ll get the digital gift on Mother’s Day and a hardcover book collecting all of her memories and photos into one story at the end of the year! Several of our team members have tried and loved this gift 🙂
4 . Massage, Pedicure or Facial
Groupon is my Go-To place to check when I’m really down to the wire and looking for a good gift to give across the miles. You can pick out a great little salon near mom and gift her some time to treat herself – all without leaving your house 🙂
Ideas for Groupon Gifts mom will really appreciate:
- Pedicure/Manicure
- Massage
- Facial
- Haircut or Conditioning Treatment
- Restaurant
- Golf or Other Activities
5 . Books to Read or Listen to:
Gift an Audible Subscription or a Kindle (they ship FAST!) so mom can indulge her love of a good story. If mom already has a Kindle – treat her to a Kindle Unlimited subscription so she can indulge in books galore!
6 . Rifle Paper Co + Corkcicle Drinkware
Our whole team just LOVES these gorgeous Corkcicle Mugs. The Rifle Paper Co patterns are just beautiful (hint: kids if you’re curious I’d like the floral one pretty please!) 🙂 If you get lucky you can get this delivered to mom in the nick of time!
7. Amazon Flower Delivery
Amazon has some beautiful bouquets and they’ll deliver to your mom in as little as 1 day – check what’s available to get there in time!
8 . Grocery by PPP
Gift the gift of peace of mind and easy grocery shopping! Grocery by PPP gives Mom access to all the grocery menu plans we’ve created and lets her set up an easy way to get groceries each week.
9 . House Cleaning – one of the best Last Minute Mother’s Day Ideas you can give!
Head to Amazon and order mom the gift of CLEAN! (Or the gift of Put-Together, or All-Set-Up) Schedule a housecleaning service, patio furniture assembly or handyman services – even have someone come and set up mom’s smart devices 🙂
Other really practical services mom will appreciate:
10 . Ancestry DNA Kit
Perfect for a mom who’s curious about family and history! This Ancestry DNA Kit often goes on sale too!
