5 Last-Minute Gift Ideas for Mother's Day
Mother's Day is Sunday, May 12th. Did you get your Mother's Day gift yet? There's still just enough time to get mom a great last-minute gift. Here are 5 ideas to save the day.
Gift Cards
Never know quite what to get mom anyway? All the more reason to go for the gift card option. One of the easiest options is the Amazon gift card. You can buy one online and then share it with Mom via email, Facebook or as a print-out.
Flowers
Yes, flowers are a cliche. But what can we say? Moms love flowers. Google "Mother's Day flowers" and you'll have plenty of options. If you're not sure what kind of flowers to get mom, take a look at these tips on popular Mother's Day flowers and colors.
Donation in Her Name
Does your mom love animals almost more than she does people? Is she passionate about the environment? Donate to a charity supporting her favorite cause. Not sure which charity to choose? Get her a gift card from justgive.org and she can choose her favorite from 1.8 million charities in their database.
Cook/Grill/Bake for Her
Moms love it when their kids cook for them. Unless you're a terrible cook. In which case, fire up the grill or grab all the veggies and toppings you can find for a knock-your-socks off salad. You can get away with buying the rest of the meal if you create one dish that you clearly poured your heart into. Need recipe ideas? Check out allrecipes.com.
