Last Minute Mother’s Day Gift Ideas

This post may contain affiliate links. Please read my disclosure for more info.

Hey friends! So, Mother’s Day is just around the corner & I thought it’d be a great idea to do a gift guide. Many of us become so wrapped up in school, work, and our personal lives, that we don’t find the time to actually do some digging to see what moms close to us really want. I can’t count the number of times that this has happened to me and I’ve had to rush to CVS to just pick something up. This sucks because you end up getting a gift that you’re not really proud of and spending more money since everything tends to be more expensive last-minute.

However, there’s great news even for procrastinators, like myself, haha. The answer is Amazon Prime. Amazon Prime offers guaranteed FREE 2 DAY SHIPPING on every prime order, making it perfect for Mother’s Day, which is only a week away. I have been using Amazon Prime for all of my gifts lately because they literally have EVERYTHING. Whether I’m looking for office supplies or Mother’s Day gifts, I know I can find it here. The best part about it all is that you get to try Amazon Prime for FREE, yes totally FREE, if you click here. They give you a 30 DAY FREE TRIAL, where you can cancel at any time, even though I think it’s completely worth it! Who doesn’t love FREE 2 DAY SHIPPING ON EVERYTHING?

So without further-a-do, here’s the petite Mother’s Day gift guide!

1. Aromatherapy Diffuser:

Speaking for my mom, this is absolutely a must-have. She has one in her living room that she always has on. You choose the oil that you want and it diffuses the smell into the air, giving the room a sense of relaxation. Not to mention, it makes a beautiful centerpiece! This is sure to be a Mother’s Day favorite. You can shop this gorgeous one here.

2. Mom Mugs:

As many of you know, moms NEED their coffee and their wine, but most of all: coffee. I, personally am not yet a mom, but I see how busy my own mother is and how important coffee is in her day-to-day routine. For that reason, every mom needs a cute little mug to fuel up! The Most Awesome Mom Mug  makes a great gift for all of the moms in the family. It’s super cute & chic, and gives you the energy that you need! You can shop this beauty here.

3. Candle Lovin’:

Who doesn’t love candles? I looove having candles all around the house: in my bedroom, in the living room, in my kitchen, bathroom, literally EVERYWHERE. They just make everything better. They make everything smell amazing and the sizzling of the fire is so relaxing. Definitely a must-have for mom! I love this specific candle because it comes in Jasmine Blossom (my personal fave) and its wrapped so beautifully already! Not to mention, it is a soy wax candle, so you can use it to moisturize your body once it melts. You can shop the La Jolie Muse Jasmine Scented Candle here.

4. Cute Pjs:

Another great gift for mom, or anyone really, is a cute pj set! I absolutely love sleeping in comfy and cute pyjamas and this set is both of those things. Amazon has a great selection of these cute sets with funny phrases. My personal favorites are the Let Me Sleep Set and the Rise and Grind Set! Both are so chic and under $15! You can shop the Let Me Sleep Pj Set here and the Rise and Grind Pj Set here.



5. All Things Makeup:

If my mom is anything like yours, she LOVES makeup, especially makeup palettes. Mom and I go often to Sephora or Ulta to take a look and she always goes for the nude colors. That’s why I thought The Naked Palette by Urban Decay would be a great gift for Mother’s Day. Since it has nude tones, you can use it daily, whether you’re going to work or you’re going to dinner! This is truly a mom’s must-have! You can shop the palette here.

6. The Cutest Slippers:

Every girl needs a cute pair of slippers, am I right? I absolutely love the Steve Madden Softey Flat Slides because they’re so comfortable and so chic. I think these are the only slippers that you can actually wear to the mall with jeans and a tee and not look like you’re going to bed, haha! These also come in so many colors, so you can get them in your mom’s favorite color or you can get them in black so that they match with everything. You can shop them here.

7. Apple Watch:

The Apple Watch has been all the rave these days and rightly so! Not only is it beautiful, but it’s perfect for busy moms. From getting text notifications to news alerts, the Apple Watch connects to your phone and does almost everything that it can do! My mom loves the Rose Gold and Pink Sand combination, which you can shop here. It’s so girly and professional, perfect for every occasion!

8. The Perfect Laptop:

So, if you’re looking to really spoil your mom this Mother’s Day, this is a go-to. The Apple 12-Inch Macbook is the perfect gift for a busy mom! Since it’s 12 inches, it’s the perfect size! Not too small, not too big, so you can carry it in your purse or take it on the go if you’re traveling. Of course, I am a little biased with this system because I also have a Macbook, but I promise you learning how to use my mac was so simple and so user-friendly. My mom loves using my laptop, so I’m definitely looking into getting her own! You can shop the laptop here.

9. The Perfect Wallet:

Wallets make the perfect Mother’s Day gift! I absolutely love this one because of its floral design. I actually have the same style in burgundy and it’s amazing because it’s literally the perfect size. I can either take it in my day bag or in my evening clutch, so I definitely recommend this style! You can shop this Coach wallet here.

10. Gorgeous Day Bag:

Whoever said a women’s guilty pleasure is jewelry, didn’t know about Kate Spade handbags. Seriously. There are so many beautiful handbags, but Kate Spade creates elegant, but youthful handbags. I personally love ANY of their bags, for real. So, if mom loves handbags or needs a new one for her day-to day, the Cameron Street Candace Satchel is perfect! It comes in steel grey and warm vellum multi and with an adjustable sash if you want to carry it on your shoulder. This is definitely a gift that mom will love! You can shop the handbag here.

11. Edible Arrangements:

Who doesn’t love a bouquet of chocolate-colored fruits? Edible Arrangements make amazing Mother’s Day gifts for all of the moms in the family. You can personalize them any way you choose by changing the fruits and wording of the arrangement. Mom’s love personal gifts, so this is sure to make her smile. You can shop the Edible Arrangements Mother’s Day Swizzle Bouquet here.

12. Mom’s Signature Scent:

Well, one of them. When it comes to perfumes, my mom has a couple of favorites, but Daisy by Marc Jacobs truly has a special place in her heart. This perfume is the perfect combination of sweet and strong. It’s also very potent and stays on for hours, which is something that I love. You can shop the perfume here.

13. The Perfect Sandal:

Every girl needs her go-to sandal. You know what I mean. It’s just like jeans, we may have fifty pairs, but we always go to that one pair. This Mother’s Day you’re about to find out what the perfect sandal is and that is the Tory Burch Miller Sandal. Listen friends, if you are desperate for a Mother’s Day gift, you just found one that any mom is sure to love. You’re welcome. This sandal comes in any color you can think of so you can get it in your mom’s fave or you can get them in nude so they match with everything. Not only are they incredibly comfortable but they are so chic. They can be worn casually to go shopping or you can wear them with a nice jumpsuit for dinner. You can shop these sandals here.

14. Lip Gloss:

Lip gloss is most definitely an essential, but a gloss that matches perfectly with any combination you choose to wear, is a necessity. The Tartiest Glossy Lip Paint in Glossy has the perfect amount of gloss and color vibrancy in a shade. Mom is sure to love this lip gloss! You can shop it here.

15. Personalized Jewelry:

Mother’s Day is the perfect occasion to gift something as heartfelt as this. Alex and Ani has so much jewelry like this, but my personal favorite is the Because I Love You, Mom Bracelet, which you can shop here. Not only is it beautiful, but it’s the perfect gift for your mom!

16. Signature Shades:

Now with summer right around the corner, sunnies are a perfect gift! You can never go wrong with aviators either! They’re classic, chic, and available in so any different shades. You can shop my personal fave here.

17. The Perfect Headphones:

Whether you’re at the gym, taking a stroll in a park, or doing your grocery shopping for the week, listening to music make everything better. The Beats by Dr Dre make the best gift for the busiest moms! Not only are they beautiful, but they’re wireless, so you can wear them anywhere to do just about everything without having to worry about any cables. You can shop my personal fave (rose gold) or all the other gorgeous colors here.

18. Bath Caddy:

If mom doesn’t have this, then this is definitely one of the most perfect gift ideas for Mother’s Day. There’s nothing better than having a long relaxing bath with some candles lit whilst reading your favorite novel, I promise. This bathtub caddy makes it so easy for you to unwind and relax, which is exactly what mom needs after a long day. You can shop this gift here.

19. Silk Sleep Mask:

I absolutely love this gift! Not only is it super affordable, but it is so amazing. Sleep masks really help you relax and sleep that much better, but a silk sleep mask is even better. You can shop the Silk Sleep Eye Mask here.

20. Mom Tees:

Who doesn’t love funny graphic tees? I think this is such a cute gift for Mother’s Day because it’s so specific to the occasion and it’s so cute. The Livin That Mom Life Tee comes in so many different colors, so you can get different ones for every mom in the family. They also have the Tired As A Mother Tee, which is co cute. You can shop both of these styles here.

21. Perfect Earrings:

Earrings are also a perfect gift for mom! My personal fave is the Classic Elegance Stud Earrings by Pandora, which you can shop here. They are so elegant and chic, so you can wear them casually or dress them up for a nice occasion. Mom is sure to love these!

As we all know, mom’s carry everything in their bags. Literally, everything. So, a cute makeup bag is sure to be on this Mother’s Day gift guide. I absolutely that this one says #momlife, which you can shop here.
